I think they came to terms, but The Lox didnt get the monetary value they expected in return. Puffy released them from their deal on good terms. That's basically the silver lining of the situation.
Verzuz NYC Get Ready The Lox Vs Dipset August 3rd
- Thread starter dik cashmere
- Start date
Well it didn't help that The LOX really laid into the battle concept, probably more than everybody else except Gucci. Those were the only two battles that felt like they could've got violent.
But that's the flaw in Verzuz as a concept.
It's really just a concert, but they market it as a battle. So naturally, people are going to spectate like "well, who won?" because they put it in the viewers' mind that someone has to "win."
They don't announce a winner or keep scores (which they shouldn't), they leave it up to fan interpretation.
And it seems like that will always overshadow the underlying message of "it's a celebration, the fans win the battle because they got to witness a joint concert."
That's why I always tried to tell niggas to stop keeping scores and shit, and just focus on the moments.
I feel the same way about Jordan/Lebron debates. Sports media got us thinking we need to put one over the other, when really we should just appreciate both of them the same. Music is the same way.
I'm just thankful I lived in an era where I saw Jordan play and Lebron play. I wish I could've seen full color HD Bill Russell or Oscar Robertson games just like I wish I could've been there when Eric B. and Rakim first dropped.
I'm thankful I lived in the LOX era and the Dipset era, because whether you like their music personally or not, as long as you were there, you can at least understand the magnitude of these two groups being on stage at the same time.
No. It is a Battle. Scared ass niggas turned it into a concert. If they battling their good friends, or if they pussies they love it up.
Jada vs Fab was all love because they have the same management and know each other pretty well.
Jada was on some original green Hulk Shit with Dipset.

Jones and Santana present themselves like children. I think that’s their appeal. Cam is OK on the Mic but his appeal is mic and bravado mixed.
Lox were just prepared for a show.

Styles P JUST talked about it. You can find the vid on YouTube. I wont be finding it for ya. Styles was saying he loved Puff, and Puff did the best he could by them, but he still felt shorted. Look it up.
Outkast would line them all up....
The resolved shit as far as getting off the label....I highly doubt them dudes making money off of Honey.
I ain't never heard Jim and L's complain about their bread with Cam. So I don't know what they got.
I'm talking about them points for them specific records......all I heard was Puff stopped making bread off their future releases....
Don’t shoot the messenger.. I just answer the question that was stated. Did anyone think Dipset won?
Sometimes die hard fans think their team is going to the Super Bowl every year. Regardless if they never made it to the playoffs. It was his opinion and everyone has one.
Now for the rest of 10million plus that said Lox won. I agree with them! Jada went Kobe on them and that’s how you honor Kobe death with the picture. Not that Meek Mills shit!
I agree...we live in this world of always wanting to see a loser. More people talking bad about Dipset then boosting up the Lox....Jada getting his love though.
V"erzuz" is the gimmick to get us to watch and get social media talking because soon as we hear about a Versus we start talking about who gonna body who lol.
You 100% right.
Yeah born n raised. Lived over by 233rd St but remember always passing by that Castle Hill White Castle anytime I was on the Cross Bronx. My spot was usually the one on Boston Rd between Baychester Ave and 222nd st. Moved to NC back in 2014 but still go back to visit every so often
Jadakiss kept score he said it’s 25-2 right now!
Dipset should have mentioned this on stage! Ask them "how much did Puff rape y'all for" or something like that to get under their skin.
Ummmmm thats how juelz n cam beef started. He sold juelz out to def jam for 2 mil. You think jimmy and juelz had they whole family on love n hip hop cause they wanted to be??? They needed them checks bruh.The resolved shit as far as getting off the label....I highly doubt them dudes making money off of Honey.
I ain't never heard Jim and L's complain about their bread with Cam. So I don't know what they got.
it was evident all night, the lox are a group & friends. Dipset is niggaz that was once cool,but get together every once in a while now
ok..real hip hop fans will relate to this..
hip hop is alot of elements..
yes the lox are great emcees.. but that alone doesnt cause a sweep like this..
their dj was wayyyyy above the one the dipshits had. he came with the right songs at the right time..and has been preforming with these guys a long time..he did the same thing when jada had his versuz with fab..
but the biggest thing cats are missing is work ethic..you can see the lox honed they craft and practiced..the dipshits drop a album an go on stage b.s'ing and talking the crowd to death..
also remember im sure puffy taught these dudes professionalism...how to control the crowd..the things todays emcees cant do..cause they post a video on youtube for a million hitsdoesnt mean it will translate to a good stage show..
and then dont forget they toured with X..and dmx had a very energitic stage show..so they had to match his energy or get wiped..
the dipshits showed the differennce in these areas..yes they had songs..but brought nothing else to the table..
when the LOX BROUGHT EVERYTHING TO THE TABLE..!! NOW THATS REAL HIP HOP

Red and pun yeah
/Thread.....
Now if they had Hell Rell and JR Writer it would not have been so bad
But good to know that they will be on tour this fall
Dipset better start working out and remembering their lyrics.
they looked a bit amateurish and not on the same page.
yeah I don;t think that gonna happened and real talk?
after hearing the LOX speak on it?
they don't think he obligated to that either
and neither do I (even thought for a LONG time I did)

It seems most people miss a key moment that I knew jada got in them nigs head.. was when Jim Jones started rapping to max b collab tracks and jada was like oh snap max b out they got max b out of jail they need max b… pay attention to jimmy face that nig was irritated and tried to shrug it off but you could tell that shit stung
I don't fuck with dipset so I didn't get what was going on with that max b shit. They do him dirty or something?
Long story between him and Jim Jones… but yeah lot of funny style shit
Worth doing my Googles or just some petty nigga shit?
It will probably show various diff situations so I guess google it to get a summary of it
Crazy how Styles P said he was with him every day for 3 weeks before he turned his self in … Jones addressed Mel Matrix and the blood shit but didn’t say anything about Max and he always get pissed off when he’s brought up in interviews instead of speaking on the issue …
