Jay-Z Speaks On "Verzuz": "No One Can Stand On That Stage With Me"

If you are talking about songs that are more accepted by the masses and casual fans, I think Jay would get anybody.

Real hip hop fans know that Face, LL, Kanye and maybe Nas would give him a run for his money.

Personally, I would have my money on Face.

I feel you, but working a crowd is also apart if hip hop. I love Scarface, but I’m not putting him on a stage with Jay-Z and expecting the same energy, if that makes sense. Scarface is music to smoke a spliff to, and absorb.

I’ve mentioned LL in every verzuz thread, I think he can go against anyone.

Nas would get killed in a versus Jay Z
Tribe wouldnt even beat OutKast in a versus, let along Jay Z
Lil Wayne could hold his own against Jay Z
Kanye could hold his own also
Drake could hold his own also in a versus battle
Thats about it; maybe KDOT but he doesnt have enough mainstream popular songs...
:roflmao:

Lmaoooo..that’s what I’m saying busta energy to live.. literally people will respect him as a real mc(move the crowd) after that night.. cause even though jay the bigger star busta the bigger hype man and in vs on that stage that shit like an ocean and busta a great white shark
If you even seen Busta live, you understand what you are saying. Busta got albums full of one hit wonders, but remember those are some BIG hits.

People forget that Busta was the King of Big Budget MTV videos. He got a lot of white fans, maybe more white MTV heads. Cus you know after that Beck video was fading off TV, Busta was coming on next full throttle while being creative.

White people were told to like Jay Z while Busta is probably their favorite childhood MTV rapper (Coolio 2nd). Big Pimpin is Jay Z biggest video hit, while Busta has cinematography rap video classics.

Busta been stealing shows since LOTNS. As soon as he shows up for verses dressed as one of the Vodoo characters from one of his videos and starts swinging from cieling fans, its a wrap.

Let me ask you bro since no where else will answer me :giggle: ; and I agree Busta showmanship is amazing; but when Jay plays Public Service Announcement; what song is Busta or Nas gonna play after that??

This is a man must have never seen Busta perform. The stage and studio are two different thinga my man. Jay Z without a full live band is going to be s boring performance. Bustsa is an event on stage, when he's in rare its pure entertainment.

Aint no song gonna equal shit like Hendrix burning a guitar on stage, Prince humping the microphone, James Brown doing the splits, or Busta acting a pure ass.

Trust me old school niggas like Doug E Fresh and Slick Rick would murder Jay Z on stage. Facts.

Peace.
Though the OP might be a hip-hop fan, he is clearly a big Jay-Z fan. xxIronxx’s last comment sums up why someone like Busta is very difficult to beat in this format:

The people tuning in are not average mufuckas. They know both catalogs.

So to answer, “what’s would a DJ put on after PSA?”
1. Touch it
2. Fire it up (remix)
3. Put your hands where my eyes can see
4. Czar
Couple that with busta’s showmanship and that’s a problem to follow.
I’ve seen Jay live. I probably got hyped twice all concert and I fux with his music.
At a Busta Rhymes concert? That sh*t is black mosh-pit music. You gonna run up and down the aisles and find someone you don’t know and maybe fuck their clothes up, grabbing them to the lyrics. There is no category of rap where Busta isn’t equal or likely better than whoever, especially Jay-Z.

Just to start more shit here, could you imagine if Busta did a mic check by having the DJ play “Scenario” and he rapped his verse? Nothing could follow that.
Nothing.

wayne?

just off Jiggaman beats alone he would wash wayne, busta and Naw combined

he would lose to Brad and Beans

“compared to beans YOU WACK”

when busta plays touch it, the battle will be become over

only way jigga wins is if biggie comes back and does Brooklyns Finest

“Get it 2….pacs”

:lol:that's about what I was thinking. But I didn't feel like arguing with the Busta fans. Cause you gotta be a casual or a CAC if you don't agree with the masses round here

Funny how Versuz has changed so much in a short time. Started off as a beat battle, then went to emcees emceeing, and now it’s in this “hyper mosh pit/who can be the loudest” mode.

In the latter category Hov would get smoked, but in the emcees emceeing mode ... idk.

I can only see Nas approaching that realm.
