Crunchy Black Slams Swizz Beatz & Timbaland For Shelving Three 6 Mafia Verzuz Bone Thugs

    Now that Lord Jamar has sworn off VladTV interviews, Crunchy Black seems to have taken his place. During another sit-down, the Three 6 Mafia affiliate vented about the Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and Three 6 Mafia Verzuz battle that never came to be.

    Last November, DJ Paul confirmed Bone Thugs had agreed to participate in an independent version of Verzuz but just 30 minutes before the event was set to go live, Verzuz co-founder Swizz Beatz called Krayzie Bone and told him to wait until they could do a proper Verzuz. To Crunchy Black’s dismay, the event never happened.

    “When it come to Paul and Juicy J, I don’t like to talk about the shit that they talk to me about,” he said in the recent interview. “But I’mma speak on this just because Timbaland and Swizz Beatz told Paul that they gon’ set up a time or a date for them to go against ‘Verzuz’ against Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and they didn’t show us no love.

    “Bone Thugs-n-Harmony sold platinum and double-platinum albums. Three 6 Mafia sold platinum and double-platinum albums. Y’all said that y’all only dealing with people that have that accolade of double-platinum albums, you know what I’m saying? But just because Paul tried to set it up with his friends, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, y’all tell them to hold up for a minute, y’all gon’ set it up, and they never set it up.”

    Crunchy Black then questioned how Timbaland and Swizz Beatz can preach about “spreading love” if they “didn’t do what the people want.”

    He added, “Everybody want it. Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and Three Mafia to do the ‘Verzuz’… C’mon man. Swizz Beatz, Timbaland, I fuck with y’all for real. Keep doing the good shit.”

    But Black also told them, “Don’t be on that bullshit ’cause we from the South. I hate for folks to play with Juicy and I definitely hate for folks to play with Paul.”

    Krayzie Bone announced in April 2020 he’d be squaring up against Three 6 Mafia‘s DJ Paul for an Instagram battle but seven months later, Paul explained, “Literally 30-35 minutes, literally 35 minutes before we went live, Swizz’s people called Krayzie Bone and they was like, ‘We gon’ do it on Verzuz, so don’t do it.’ And I was like, ‘Look dude, we still need to do it, man.’ I was like, ‘I don’t know — when is the Verzuz gon’ happen? Like, we still need to do it.’”

    He continued, “I guess Krayzie didn’t wanna do — he’d rather do the Verzuz than ours. He just kinda backed off and stopped picking up his phone. And I was like ‘OK.’ And I just left it alone.

    “And then next thing I know, he tweeted and said he didn’t wanna do it at all because of the temperature of what was going on in the world. Verzuz kept moving on and everything else kept going. I was like, ‘Alright, I kind saw this coming and I tried to tell you, but whatever.”

    Verzuz hosted R&B queens SWV and Xscape on May 8, which was preceded by the Method Man and Redman “How High” battle on April 20.

    1. I did want to see this verzuz at first but not verzuz is kinda lame to me it reminds me of myspace after myspace played out. I would just rather see Bone and 3-6 make music together instead of a verzuz

    2. They never had no intentions of doing that vs they were upset that Krayzie and Paul were about to do something similar that had nothing to do with them, they probably felt salty about it. Sometimes people want the rights to you doing something just to block you from doing it. Hater move by swizz.

    3. No surprise there, Swizz was never going to do the Verzuz, they just didn’t want the shit to happen on another platform.

    4. If they wanna do it, why not just do it and fuck swizz beatz ? Just call it something else instead of verzuz. Call it a battle. I dont think swizz can copyright a live stream of two people playing music back and forth. Im tired of verzuz anyways the pandemic is pretty much over with the vaccine out and now masks off. Everbody get back to making new music now. Even the OGs.

    5. It’s weird that they didn’t have this verzuz go down. Majority of the the people they have had on there Bone Thugs N Harmony have sold four or five times more records than and Three six Mafia got a Oscar and were the club hit kings from the late 90’s and early 2000’s. Bone has 11 straight platinum albums including solo’s and compilations.

    6. It may end up working out for them because now there seems to be some $$ involved, when they first started doing this it look bootlegged and was always technical difficulties

    7. Krayzie is recording a album produced by DJ Paul. I would rather them spend time collabing than doing a verzuz

    8. So Krayzie Bone and Swizz beats people talking and stopping the show? So really if you concentrate you clearly see Krayzie Bone is one agreeing to the stoppage? Why bro? Money? Swizz people can set the show up in a minute Bone and 36 would show up instantly. Swizz dragging his shit? Wheres fatboy Timbaland? Verzuz IS lame but I’d watch this one … so make it happen bitch before one of these dudes dies or something …

      1. Naw Krayzie didn’t agree to the stoppage. Him and Paul had their own thing set up at first and it had nothing to do with verzuz. But before theirs went down verzuz people got in contact with Krayzie people and ask if they would be willing to hold off and be apart of Verzuz instead they agreed. Then Verzuz starting promoting Bone Thugs and Three 6 verzuz for like a few weeks and then they said it would be rescheduled but never gave a date. I honestly don’t think it’s anybody fault sometime stuff like this just happens

    9. Leave it to detective Vlad to try to instigate black brothers against each other. Typical small hat behavior. A brotha like me would smack the kippah off his head if he try to pull some shit like that on me and my black brothas.

    10. How come Vlad didn’t tell him to look at the camera? Its stupid as fuck having him talk sideways like that? wtf

    11. Cruchy seem like he was extremely intoxicated during that interview. But the battle may
      still happen swizz is super cool with Bone Thugs they used to be on Full Surface/Interscope. Even if it doesn’t happen hopefully we get some more Bone and Swizz or Bone and three six collabs
