VERZUZ Presents: Big Daddy Kane vs KRS-One, October 17

[bigbadbossup2012]

Again it is NOT ABOUT THE CATALOG!!! You going allowed to use 20 records. That is it.

I love Kane but I'm not convinced he has a solid 20. That's why I'm making issues out of the catalog

 

[gluvnast]

I think KRS 20 gonna be better.
After the first two albums how many records does Kane have that would get a huge reaction?

I dunno how old are you, but Kane's 1988-92 run was impeccable.

 

[King P]

It’s over if he starts with this…. Start it off right

I'm saying I'm Number One... oh I'm sorry, I lied

I'm Number One, Two, Three, Four, and Five!!!

And once he drops this

He has features, collabs, soundtracks, and shyt that he wrote for other artists.

You serious?

And bare in mind he has the BIZ MARKIE records to so there's definitely tribute classics that he written for Biz.

And once he drops this

I’m trying not to dig in the crates for this too much to still be hyped and surprised as they drop songs but if he drops my philosophy at the perfect time, he will be shytting on Kane throughout that whole song. That song can hit line one of those jadakiss throwback freestyles that they thought was specifically written for dipset

Longevity doesn't mean a lot in this verzuz and I dunno why people ALWAYS keep forgetting you it's just 20 RECORDS, not the entire catalogue.... so having "more joints" is irrelevant. It's going to be who's the BEST PERFORMER. The Lox for example did NOT have the catalogue like Dipset, but what they had was more than enough because they were prepared. Fat Joe had a 30 YEAR CATALOGUE with a hit record in every decade discounting this decade and still active, and JA RULE won because he had the bigger hits. Toss that aside.

KRS-one have bangers. So do Kane. KRS-one is an impeccable performer. So is Kane in different aspects. This is really going to be based on who's the better performer that night.

Son all this screaming ain’t gonna change nothing. How many bigger hits than KRS does he have? It ain’t 20. It ain’t about that. But let’s say that counts. That’s a few rounds. KRS has more recognizable bangers than Kane fam. Hit or not. U seen what happened wit Luda. It’s not about what hits are bigger. It’s about cultural hits and on top of that. KRS has more of them. I’m not saying it’s gonna be a wash. But catalog wise. KRS has the stronger catalog. It’s no question.

 

[King P]

I have. I know. Having a LONGER DISCOGRAPHY doesn't mean you have the bigger hit records. Again, look at the Fat Joe verzuz Ja Rule example.

On the flip side, Nelly had the bigger hits and still got washed by Luda.

Too many variables really

I’m 41.
List out the records after the second album that you think would get a huge reaction.

 

[Liu Kang]

y'all gonna look like dipset fans when it's all done. soon as kane do a split at 60 on stage while rapping it's over for the flab master.

It will be the opposite

BDK a legend but KRS has far more fire power in a live setting
-Step into a world
-Sound of da police
-The bridge is over
-My philosophy
-MCs act like they dont know
-Ova here (maybe)

I think, live, BDK dont really have the boom bap equivalents though he has some classics like
-Smooth operator
-Aint no half steppin
-Taste of chocolate

IMO, BDK and KRS are not on the same wave and better matchups would have been :
-KRS vs Chuck D
-BDK vs Rakim

But otherwise, this would be good for the hip hop head so well all enjoy it

This is what introduced me to Kane and made me go back to check his 80's material, when he drops this

 

[mobbinfms]

He has features, collabs, soundtracks, and shyt that he wrote for other artists.

Does he really have that many features/collabs that would get a big reaction?
Burn Hollywood Burn
The Symphony

Playing Biz records could be big, but how many of those can he play before it starts to look funny?

 

[FreshAIG]

I got Blastmaster Kris. CLEAR
