Who's hyped? I'm a oldhead so this is one I'm definitely tuning in for. Two elite performers and extremely important hip hop pioneers who are about to put on one hell of a show. Honestly I'm not really putting too much stock into who will win, but more into the celebratory aspect.

 

[Rollie Forbes]

The dope thing about this Verzuz is that Kane & KRS have both said that it will be an actual battle.
Both Kane and KRS are still great on stage, so this matchup should be legendary!

Spoiler

I hate that we're not getting Kane vs Rakim, though.

 

[Tati 304]

I will definitely tune into this one.

 

[Rollie Forbes]

I'm ready.

 

[Blackgravity]

This is going to be good! both are top tier legends, I'm Generation X so this is special for me, I've been listening to KRS 1 and BDK since the beginning of their careers.
although I think KRS 1 may have a bigger catalog.

I like this a lot! I'm thinking of a lot of KRS One solo songs and features as well. Platinum Plus for Land is gonna ring off because of Big L.

 

[Rollie Forbes]

By the way, KRS-ONE's new single "Krazy" drops tomorrow (Oct. 15).
The Blastmaster's pen is still deadly!

I like this playlist, let's see if it goes down.

Aaaaah, for Big L. and BDK's "Platinum Plus," I paired it up w/ "RZA" ft. Redman.

Thanks. That's my interpretation. Versuz for me is the artists matched up has to make sense, and the title of songs has to gel, imo, to make for a blazin' playlist. I always picture the crowds going wild, or be like, yoooooooo..lol I remember friends at one time asking me, imo, who would be a hot Versuz battle to Queen of Hip Hop Soul, MJB...and I quickly and simply said Faith...The First Lady of Bad Boy. They were like naaaaaah, maaaaan, Faith ain't gotta enough hits...blah blah blah...but when I broke my playlist down, they were like woooooooow...yooooo...aight..aight...sold! 😆

Yeah people think that about a lot of artists that go on Versus. I remember when The Lox was going up against Dipset, people said the Lox didn't have enough hits to compete but people quickly remembered when hit after hit dropped. Niggas was like "ohhhhh snap I forgot about wild out" and all the other hits they had.

Once you break it down like you did with Faith you start pulling out cuts people banished to the back of their minds.

I would have preferred krs vs chuck d and kane vs rakim

That said i got kane winning this

That's actually really solid, but Rakim ain't the personality for Verzuz. He's a nonchalant low key type of dude like Nas, and I don't think he wants to do one.

They need Crunchy Black vs Flava Flav.

[Mastamind]

[Rollie Forbes]

I wonder why Kane isn't using Mister Cee.

 

[Mastamind]

I wonder why Kane isn't using Mister Cee.

I'm not sure tbh

Gonna suggest that everyone use the FITE app to watch this Verzuz by the way. I use it because I hate the blue check comments.
