DMX is still gunning for a Verzuz battle with JAY-Z despite talks of a showdown with Eminem. Although N.O.R.E. claims Verzuz mastermind Swizz Beatz is eyeing a matchup between X and Slim Shady, the Ruff Ryders MC made it clear he wants Hov in a clip from a Drink Champs podcast taping.
“Em don’t want it,” DMX told Swizz via phone. “OK, we’ll do it with Em. I’d rather go with my archnemesis [JAY-Z]. He don’t gotta come outside, nigga, it’s in the house! Damn, he’s scared to go into the basement and play some records?”
Swizz insisted Verzuz was more a celebration than a battle, which only made DMX more determined to get Hov involved.
“That’s what I’m saying, that’s why it should be done,” the veteran rapper said. “It’s a celebration. We celebrating music. He got some hits too! He can play ‘Money, Cash, Hoes’ then I’m gon’ play ‘Money, Cash, Hoes!'”
Swizz ultimately put the ball in DMX’s court.
“I think you would need to call him for that,” the Grammy Award-winning producer told his longtime collaborator.
“OK, well make it happen,” X fired back. “Because that would be dope.”
N.O.R.E. Claims Eminem Will Take On DMX In Next 'Verzuz' Battle
N.O.R.E. captioned the clip of the conversation by noting he shared the footage with Jay, who stressed he’s not DMX’s archnemesis.
“Sent this to hov and he said dmx will never be his nemesis he’s his brother and I respect that salute them both I LOVE HIPHOP!!!” N.O.R.E wrote.
Whether DMX faces off with Hov, Eminem or someone else completely remains to be seen, but he’s not the only one interested in battling Jigga. Snoop Dogg has also thrown his hat into the ring for a potential Instagram Live clash with the Roc Nation boss.
Even with some potential challengers, Swizz and his Verzuz co-founder Timbaland are stuck with the difficult task of convincing Jay to step into the arena. Despite their relationships with him, such conversations would likely be an uphill battle.

I won’t advise Eminem to battle DMX even though it’s a friendly battle. Since DMX wants Jay-Z, let him have him. And I want to say that Jay-Z won’t get into all these battles these guys are putting up. That’s where his big man mentality comes from – something Eminem should learn from.
DMX Verzuz Crackpipe is a more realistic battle lol…. Crackpipe always wins
Yep cuz X gon give it to ya
Jay and Em are both too sheltered to do one of these, especially against DMX lol. X could get wild and go off script and neither of those 2 robots would know how to act naturally
DMX hasn’t put out anything worth listening to in over 15 years and has barely been active. If he did try to go off script both Em and Jay would humiliate him. Comments like these make me laugh… DMXs lungs full of crack smoke and you want to pretend that he’d still be out there killing it. Utterly delusional.
Hmmm maybe ja rule versus DMX lol
Damn man this dude is obviously still on something. He TWEAKIN. Still a legend regardless. But its hard to see your idols like this.
Damn…X back on that sht smdh
Marshall is now and always has been leagues better than Jay. Kanye saved dude with Blueprint
Jay Z thinks he’s too good to battle. Don’t surprise me. Thinks he’s superior, above everyone else. N selfish won’t do nun for free. “He won’t go in the basement and play some records” cuz he shook. Too off script. Not pre planned, marketed, the acting not scripted to make him look watever fake sh1t he tryna pretend to b today.
It’s a image thing. Jays a billionaire now and making corporate moves.
He would gain Nothin from stranding in a basement and battling DMX.
You youngsters of today are chumps.
You wouldn’t know the difference between an MC and a Rapper if it hit ya in the wig lol
Jay z will say you racist if you don’t vote for him, even though if he battle another black dude. Dr Dre should battle Jay Z. Jay sucks! Except first 2 albums
DMX Verzuz The I.R.S…..He keeps Losing….DMX Verzuz Child Support….He Keeps Losing
Yeah we get it, he’s fucked up in the head. But good music none the less.
Damn you beat me to the joke lol
His biggest loss.. DMX versus Crack Pipe
DMX vs Hairline… LOSS
I can count the hits of dmx with a palm of my hand … how the hell could he fight with Jay??? he is lucky that Eminem agrees
Lol. I can tell you’re one of the them young punks. Hey little boy, do you know the difference between an MC and a rapper?
Tell me 1 rapper that you know did what dmx did In is 5 years of career active
Rakim, Jay, Nas, Em, Kanye, and I could go on… Eric B. + Rakim’s whole discography that changed the game was 87-92, Jay had Vol 2 in 98 to the Black Album in 03, Nas had Stillmatic through HHID 01-06, Em had SSLP through Encore from 99-04, Ye had the College Dropout through MBDTF from 04-09. Obviously didn’t count Hov’s slew of guest spots, Em with D12, 50, and the masterpiece of The Chronic 2, Kanye producing some of the best hits in the same era as him. Cmon bro, I love the X-Man but don’t sleep
Dmx 5 debut album go to platinum right away #1 in USA the 2 first album drop same year in less then 8month
He have around 20 hits I mean big hits by himself in 5 years he play like in 5-6 movie he’s in 3 ruff Ryder album he have song with nas method man ll cool j the lox jay z jarule ludacris onyx he also beat jay z in rap battle on is own your hard knock life in front of all his friend I mean he did too much in 5years what em did in 10 years I think dmx would beat em
You can’t beat a man who’s got nothing to loose.
Yes you can… hand him a crack pipe
Stop using DMX pass to discredit him when his name is call to come to the stage everybody on their feet shouting he rumble stage like a earthquake. Stop hating
His name might be called, but he’s certainly won’t be showing up. Specially if his named is being called while he’s hitting the crack pipe.
DMX’s Archnemesis is a nickel rock
He’s has money you don’t all rappers got high on something then just weed stop hating
If he has money then why can’t he pay his taxes or his child support then.
Cuz he spend it all on crack rocks.
Do you work for the tax department and over look his record do you ??.. yea nah I thought not. Chump*
Are you his drug dealers or one of his crack hoes sucking his dick….no…then shut the fuck up…bitch
Nobody wants to DMX vs Eminem. We wanna see DMX vs Jay Z.
Now that I look back….All DMX’s songs and lyrics all seem like he was talking to either his drug dealers or his fiend homies now that that I think about it…All that screaming and yelling lol
I don’t blame DMX. I’d be scared of Eminem too.
DMX didn’t said he was scary of Eminem him and Eminem did a couple hits together so why would he battle and being rich like Jay-Z doesn’t make difference when you are a rapper you alway has to battle no matter in rapping albums selling it doesn’t make a difference
Wackk eminem makes school shooter music
X needs a better opponent. Jay z being a punk.
Can we get a Bone Thugs vs three six mafia
And dogg pound vs mobb deep
DJ Quik vs Dr Dre would be fire too.
Congratulations….you officially have the dumbest motherfucking comment on this page. Your first sentence is stupid AF… second… Jay-Z just too rich for this shit…. Three….Hate to break it to you but Three Six Mafia ain’t rocking together no more really…forth…not commenting on mobb deep…RIP Prodigy….and Dr Dre vs DJ Quik would be lame as fuck honestly… You be better off doing Dr Dre vs Daz (Death Row Era)
Bone Thugs vs Three Six Mafia would be dope af. You dont need the whole group. It could be DJ Paul and Bizzy Bone repping for the whole group
Dr Dre is richer than jay z lol. You don’t make sense
No actually, Jay-Z is richer than Dr Dre….Dr Dre is still only worth 820 million…. he’s not a billionaire yet while Jay-Z is worth 1 billion.
Where you get that information Wikipedia? Both are moguls who have billion dollars businesses. Are you taking about net worth, assets vs liabilities. Or are you taking about liquidity?

Forbes..you DumbAss
Eminem, Babyface and Swizz are all worth hundreds of millions of $. They don’t have to do it either but they do it for the love of it.
Let us hope he won’t overdose before the battle.. we all know how much he loves suckin on that glass d!ck! ps. Omg love reading all the crack comments keep ’em coming folks xD
Dmx vs Jay Z would be legendary
This will be interesting, DMX got hits and classics, Em got hits and classics.. 2 of my favourite rappers, so I won’t be mad either way.
Tho’!
X got them club bangers, and I’m not sure if can consider Shake That by Em and Nate a club banger
DMX sitting down like a pregnant lady, whats with that posture, this guy will never learn, mans twitching and shit like he on some next level shit….here we go again. RUFF!
Tha only nigga spittin’ Flames these days is Donald Trump**
No, that’s diarrhea
Sorry, what colour did ya dye your hair?
Off Nut White
You mean ‘nutt off white lol
I like both, yummm
For fuck’s sake stop enabling this dmx crack head fella. Any publicity you give him will just make money for him to use on crack cocaine. It’s not even funny anymore it’s just sad. All these Swizz Beatz etc people are exploiting a old washed up crack head like this they ought to be ashamed of themselves.
How many washed up drugged out rock and pop stars are you assholes still to this day support, now all you dickheads wanna spit on this man for contributing to something positive
I’d like to see you say that to his face.
You wouldn’t have the balls lol
You gun get your nose bitten off you homo
The man’s a fuckin crackhead alrite
And?
Has he been hittin the pipe again? He’s delusional..
The crack pipe has been scientifically proven to sharpen focus and provide humans with superhuman strength. You kids ever seen dragon ballZ?
These battles are real corny ! I watched the RZA AND PREMO and I thought that was weak. Reason being why do I want to hear cats playing songs that I’ve heard 1000 times over and over. New dope beats, freestyles or remixes would be cool. Real music fans can careless.
This isn’t a good battle. X and Em’s music isn’t compatible. X should battle Mobb Deep or something.
I think Em and jayz or nad and jayz would fit better.. put dmx against someone who can represent tupac
Where do I watch these versus battles?
On VHS.
