Verzuz Presents: Fat Joe vs Ja Rule 9/14 @ 9PM ET

[filial_piety]

This whole battle was wack imo…I paid some attention while I was working. I think Rule got it…but Joe had enough in his arsenal to take it…I felt like he left out too much of Jealous Ones Envy, Don Cartagena, JOSE and TS…he tried to go toe to toe with Ja on that bubble gum shyt with a verse where he wasn’t the main attraction…and it back fired. He can’t win a pop contest against that guy

 

[Playaz Eyez]

the culture needed that Ja vs 50 though. Imagine Ja crushes 50 what it would've done to shift the goal post on Ja's career

But even then with this Dub that Ja got, it lets you know that Live performances are everything, not that corny rap over your lyrics sh*t. Ja is a hell of a performer live, as well as he should with a voice like that. Joe man, smh disappointed me rapping over his vocals, like breh, you ain't confident enough to rock a crowd raw

This is why at the end of the day, practicing and sharpening your skills so you can sound as good live as you do in the studio go a long way. These studio rappers are getting a reality check on how perception works 20 years down the line

I don't wanna hear today's "rappers" do a verzuz 10 years down the road just to see be a debacle the way their sh*t aged like milk and sound even sh*ttier live

I dig a lot of Future’s music, but his live performances are awful, as are Migos’. Imagine fans of 42 Dugg, Playboi Carti, and Roddy Ricch running back songs 15 years from now. Aint nobody trying to hear that shyt and trolling weirdos like Lil Tecca

nikka didn't perform one of his biggest
Early 2000's hits, because he was trying to keep it street..

Nikkas in the hood was coppin' that Jealous Ones Still Envy album bc of this record...this single was a smash

Uh what the hell were you smoking back then. Jadakiss got smacked by 50 on this one, it was over after this.



Props to Jada but old 50 brought the heat

You the one smoking. That was a decent verse for a song but as a diss was garbage. Yayo tried to go at LOX but It wasn't enough

You must be one of the G Unit stans they talk about on here... no way 50 or g unit won. shyt was a landslide. 50 couldn't even rap wit J Hood.... Sheek Louch was cooking that nikka worse than anybody. Jadakiss didn't even have to drop checkmate shyt was already sealed. And MS. JACKSON was the nail in the coffin

Kells fukked that up

 

[Ripp]

I could've played a better Fat Joe set than that but he still would've got flamed looking at the records Ja brought out... Murdergram and Holla in the early rounds sheeesh

Ja had joints he didn't even do too. It was a landslide

 

[Ripp]

Loved the DMX tribute out the gate. RIP to the GOAT. With the energy Ja brought last night he showed why He was little X... no disrespect intended

Watching Remy and Joe do the Twinz shyt was fire and may be the ultimate homage. I got chills... that being said Ja still smoked Joey. Joe is not much of a live performer. He was acting corny... and why was he acting like he was scooping a shovel when lean back came on?

Ja Rule VS Busta Rhymes would've been a better VS.... and Ja might have cleared Busta too just for the fact that he's more coherent while performing.

Bus got 20 over the course of 20yrs. Ja got 20 over the course of about 5

 

[DaHNIC82]

Why Joe didnt play Take a look at my Life?

 

[I'm Blackman]

nikka you think I’m a gossip master
























They both admitted that nelly couldn’t be faithful and he still wanted to do his thing and not commit. Which is weird cause a few years later was with Mayweathers ex

 

[Raw Lyrics]

Cuban couldn't wait to troll Joe on this one!



Cuban was like this after he clicked post:

 

[Alvin]

How did Ja not play this on a live verzuz?

now that I think about it, that beat was tailor made for X

 

[Alvin]

dude is funny, I will give him that.

 

[Doin2Much Williams]

Ja Rule is the greatest human being ever created.

Hot 97 was unbearable to listen to the recap. A bunch of biased mfrs and had the nerve to call it even.

How sad that they were for Fat Joe
