Round 20: New York vs. New York (Tie)

Fixed.

Fat Joe 10-9. Even despite the crowd influence it's close, if somebody picked Ja it's all good.

My man, with all due respect to you and your taste (pause), you said "Between me and you" and "Twins" are tied. This is why I know it was a crowd thing, nobody in hip hop is even mentioning them 2 songs in the same breath.

Idk what Fat Joe was thinking that second half, it's like he was trying to lose or sumn, lol

My man, with all due respect to you and your taste (pause), you picked "Between me and you" over "Twins". This is why I know it was a crowd thing, nobody in hip hop is picking that shyt over Twins realistically.

Ok and as great a record as my lifestyle was no one should really be picking that song over can I get a

you throw them two songs on in any public setting which song do you think is getting the bigger reaction?

I mean if you’re gonna take away performance quality and crowd reaction then what are we basing this on? What you rather listen to in the car by yourself?

If so then scoring it is pointless

Ja has the bigger records man come on

even if this was just two djs playing their joints ja’s songs are gonna get the bigger reaction in just about any setting unless it’s a setting with absolutely no females in it lol

All the way up was a great record for what it was and still sounds pretty good but picking that over living it up is blasphemous to me as well lol

throw them two songs on at a party and compare

 

[Frida Giezman]

John blaze is a classic record but it has like ten features on it lol

it’s not even fair to compare those songs

like some would say it ain’t fair to compare can i get a to my lifestyle

but y’all still giving joe that round lol

no way jose

All the way up was HUGE, that shyt was everywhere. And it's more current...which actually works against it in a Verzuz setting where its all about nostalgia and shyt like that. I think most people wouldn't even react in a club to most of that Ja shyt in 2021 bro, be for real...maybe like a 40+ female club or sumn

I'm basing it on what's the better hip hop song, that's it. As a hip hop head, you really checking for "Mesmorized" and "Between me and you" and "Holla Holla" and "Thug Loving" and "I Cry" and that terrible 2pac joint and all that shyt over the shyt that Fat Joe was playing during the first half? How????? Lol

Hug me, love me, judge me the only man that hovers above me

I hated ja’s version of pain then and now lol

but I love mesmerize that’s a feel good record I love that song

Against what’s luv I woulda scored that a tie but I ain’t mad at people giving that round to joe

thug loving is like my favorite ja rule record lol that and living it up are probably the two ja rule songs I’ve played the most in my life

I never liked holla holla but I think I’m in the minority on that

between me and you is ehhh but that song was out at the time I started going to clubs so you know how that goes lol

I was never the biggest ja rule fan but I love most of his singles

I wasn’t one of them dudes that let 50 trick me into thinking ja was corny because (1) I was already in my 20s and (2) I already thought ja was kinda corny lol

but the man knew how to make some feel good music u need that in hip hop

I woulda scored this round for rule too

Between me and you and Twins were different types of songs - so I listened with different ears. I said tied because they were both good for what they were. When I broke the tie I gave it to Twins.

[u mad son?]

Looking back at this clash

I find it crazy that everyone was out here calling Vita a crackhead looking smoked out or whatever

Imagine being in that shape at her age, thats dope.

Big Big shouts to Vita.

Watching the Hot 97 recap and Ebro is on point. When he had them play Twinz twice

Diddy spazzing on Jermaine Dupri


“Ain’t nobody trying to rock with no Kriss Kross shyt! Or no Bow Wow shyt! I WANT DRE! WHERE IS DREEEEEEEE!!!!!”




Man Swizz and Timbaland really unlocked something with Versuz. The genius of black men knows no bounds
