First things first: Tuesday night’s Verzuz battle belonged to Jadakiss.
Yes, he was assisted by fellow Lox rappers Styles and Sheek. Yes, The Diplomats showed up and performed some of their biggest hits. But little of that mattered – because Kiss owned the crowd that gathered at New York’s iconic Madison Square Garden – in addition to the hundreds of thousands viewing the highly anticipated match at home.

Things got bad for Dipset pretty early on. Song selection and what appeared to be a lack of group preparation crippled their performances when compared to the showmanship and energy of their opponents.
In addition to being world-class MCs, The Lox remain close in real life, not just when there’s an opportunity to grab a quick bag. That chemistry was evident and they repeatedly beat the Harlemites with track after track of gritty, hardcore Hip-Hop.
