Queens: Who Wins Verzuz Between Nas and 50 Cent?

[Don Dada]

I think Nas win because he got more street songs and classics.

 

[Nicky dimes]

It’s not about hit singles. Just performance and nas one of the best shows I seen

 

[God_Body]

50 gonna win cuz half the crowd is females

Females enjoy whats on the radio

Nas gets no radio play

Nas got 8 separate platinum albums. This ain’t Talib Kweli man.

Talking Queens?


A good match up would be Nas Vs either Q-Tip or LL Cool J... Not 50

Nah, I think LL is smoking Nas and I have Nas higher on my LIST.

Nas isn’t a versus type of artist like @Chi-Town B stated.

 

[God_Body]

Smh, Nas wrote LL last album. What’s the none girl LL records?

I like Nas better than LL (and I think he should get recognition also) but you can’t deny his crossover hits.

Mama said knock you out
I’m bad
Headsprung
Rock the Bells
Boomin system

Etc……

Dude got hits that aren’t just girl songs. It’s funny you put that caveat in there too.

Yall know there's different types of female listeners going to different types of shows right lol? This wouldn't be some rnb or pop music show that draws that type of crowd, you'd see bad bitches that know every word of Made You Look

Imagine 50 going "okay, i need to do a song that's not on GRODT" and immediately launching into BABY BY ME

I think Nas wins if this shit being in Queens or even in New york in general. They love 50 in West , Detroit Washington etc much more

I know Nas isnt allowed to lose anything on ABW

On my end that was less a defense of nas and more of an indictment of 50

50s catalog is aging like milk. That's part of the reason he morphed into an online cartoon character cause his musical legacy is so flimsy it ain't enough to carry him into the present and beyond

Jus a lil bit and disco inferno aint hitting on shit and don't provoke memories in the people regardless of their past chart positions

 

[GOAT]

Nas is one of my GOATs

I dont even fuck w 50s music

I just think verzus is largely a popularity contest. I think 50 wins.

 

[Chi-Town B]

Versus is about getting the crowd hype, Nas not doing that.

 

[God_Body]

Lol, 50 only getting the crowd hype if he shows a new Power trailer. But I might be wrong, niggas might pass out to Window Shopper.

The lox was never more popular than dipset and we see how that went. And the lox have legit hits... the hits didn't win them that battle

50s hype-ability has expired ... 50s ladies songs wont animate an audience like oochie wally and owe me for ice. Candy shop wanna get to know you 21 questions aint finna make no audience bounce lol

The irony is everyone talks about how big 50 is/was but his hits are now sterile. His fighting chance would be through mixtape and album cuts.


....short of the versus being held in Portland or austin or something comparable . Stunt 101 and his hand wave dance may tear the roof off

 

[Don Dada]

If Nas plays NY STATE of Mind in NEW York there is no song 50 cent can match that with.. 50 probably gonna respond with I get money ( I Run NEW YORK )
