COMMUNITY Who Can Beat Jay-Z In A Verzuz?

[Don Dada]

So the question is dead or alive?

 

[T. Sanford]

I really think Nas can beat him. Especially if it take place in New York

 

[SheerExcellence]

Lil boosie and Gucci mane

New York City has had the best crowd at these Verzuz’s ,when The LOX and Dipset crowd was on 10. Nas and Kanye West have the best chance of beating Jay Z in a Verzuz

 

[Dwayne]

The clear answer.

Drake, Ye, and Wayne easily



These rappers can go either way in a VS.

Future, Nas, Kendrick, TI, 50, YB (yes the new generation love him. He’s their GOAT)

HM
Jeezy
DMX
Em
Rick Ross
Luda
Nicki
T-Pain

 

[Chi-Town B]

DMX would have had the crowd more than Jay Z would

 

[MorganFreemanKing]

The problem with Verzuz and questions like these are the constant shifts in "win" conditions and an overall lack of consensus of what "verzuz" is.

This shit started as a damn beat battle between a couple of producers that went from stage to stream DURING COVID.
Then comes whitey mcstorch who then makes it a "hits" competition. So now artists get involved (how are most artists gonna do a beat battle?). This and bad internet ironically leads the participants to sharing a stage with Beenie Man and Bounty Killer, and since watching people sit and vibe to music on stages is some of the goofiest shit ever, performance became the metric with D-Block vs Dipset.

I said all that to say, what does it mean to 'win' a verzuz?

 

[NotRol]

The question should be who can beat kanye in a verzuz

 

[Duwop]

LL and Busta would be fun opponents

 

[GNS]

LL and Busta would be fun opponents

Busta low key can knock a lotta people off
People that some cacs feel are the greatest for example

 

[SheerExcellence]

DMX would have had the crowd more than Jay Z would

The same dmx that lost to snoop would beat Jay?

Interesting

 

[Natural Born Sinners]

Ye would be the toughest opponent and the only one I think has the catalog to beat Jay.
I would like to see a Nas and Jay verzuz for obvious reasons, though Nas would have to bring his A+ game and pull a Jada at the garden to win in that format.

 

[Natural Born Sinners]

Busta low key can knock a lotta people off

Busta is a wildcard.
For one he has a crazy amount of good singles and a crazier feature bag.
Two- he is one of the best performers in hip hop history. That Verzuz format fits him perfect

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Chat Gpt says Drake clears him

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Nas Tupac am clear him too

This in fact, might be the question.
Kanye might just be the Verzuz final boss.
His discography is perfectly set up for performing. He purposely made stadium tailored anthems, that would automatically ring off in a competition style just as much as in a stadium full of people. Then he has different styles to completely change the mood in the room. Imagine Kanye just randomly performing “Hey Mama” out of nowhere…like what do you do after that?? Then going into “can’t tell me nothing” and “All of the lights”

 

[Csopq]

I think Scarface would have a good chance. As far as a performer Jay is not seeing Face. I haven't seen ANYONE control a crowd like Face

I wouldn’t walk Scarface into a Verzuz w Jay and I mean that w all the respect in the world to the OG Face.
