Verzuz had New York City’s Madison Square Garden snatching bandanas and popping bottles on Tuesday (August 3) as Dipset and The LOX went head-to-head in a battle for the ages. While Jadakiss emerged as the night’s solo MVP, Hip Hop fans overwhelming gave the New York rap crown to The LOX.
Fat Joe, who was one of the famous faces in the audience, couldn’t contain his enthusiasm. On Thursday (August 5), Fat Joe took his thoughts to Instagram Live where he admitted he almost had a “Lil Mama” moment. For those who don’t remember, Lil Mama crashed the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards stage and interrupted JAY-Z and Alicia Keys who were speaking at the time, much like Kanye West did to Taylor Swift.
“Welcome to New York City!” Fat Joe says with a giant painting of Big Pun looking over him. “It’s over. I’m like … goosebumps. Goosebumps. ‘The home of 9-11.’ Oh my god. This is … yes, yes, Dipset. Fucking right. I’m sitting there adjusting my mask, just when I thought it couldn’t get better, Jadakiss comes on and goes, ‘Hey Harlem, I really outside, you know me, it’s Jada.’ Boom. Boom. Boom. [Starts rapping.]
“The place went nuts. I lose my mind. I’m going fucking apeshit crazy. I can’t control the passion. Now I was neutral. but when the shit come on that I’m on, I fucking lose it. I almost pulled a Lil Mama and rang up on the ring. I wanted the smoke at that point. I wanted the smoke! When they dropped the shit, half the audience looked at me.”
Jadakiss wasn’t the only trending Twitter topic that evening. Fat Joe’s name also started making the rounds on the social media platform due to his indecision over his mask. Basically, he couldn’t decide whether to keep it on or rip it off.
As the Delta variant of COVID-19 continues its ramage, Joe was trying his best to be safe but was evidently too hype to keep it on for a long period of time.
The LOX came ready to battle, kicking things off with their features on N.O.R.E.’s “Banned From TV” and DMX’s “N-ggaz Done Started Something.”
Although Jim Jones and Cam’ron were armed with “Byrd Gang Money” and “Get Em Girls,” Jadakiss and his crew continued the lyrical slaughter for the remainder of the event.

Jadakiss even called out Dipset for not knowing their rhymes before launching into his “Who Shot Ya Freestyle.”
“New York, they causing a distraction — this is Hip Hop,” he told the crowd. “We in the mecca of New York, it’s D-Block and Dipset. Why don’t they know the words?”
Apparently, the battle was so good, it had Fat Joe smashing White Castle burgers for the first time in eight years.

Fat Joe finds a way to lick his own balls, always.
I’ve never actually heard an entire fat joe album. Not cause I don’t like him I just never got around to it. I should give one a play soon
you’ll get to the end of don cartagena, but pun will be the reason you got there.
I had his first 12 inch and Vinyl LP. Looking back, nothing too special, but I loved going new record shopping every Thursday then.
Fat Joes discography is incredible. Jealous Ones Envy 1995 is actually better than illmatic. no lie take that one in, you wont be disappointed. Terror squad the album with the whole group is thunderous heat. classics, i put that on god.
Yeah. You shot yourself in the head repeatedly saying anything Fat Joe, Pun or TS came anywhere near to the weakest track on Illmatic. You must be a delusional Puerto Rican dude. Keep your fairy tales to yourself. Your comparing a top 200 album or track of all time to a top 5 album of all time. SMH. Weirdo.
Nobody ever mentioned those weak albums in classic album conversations. Just like fat Joe is in nobody’s top 50 rappers list! Listen to real hip hop and shut the fuck up, fucking piece of shit! I put that on god!
Jimmy, you are quite literally the only person I have ever seen to make that statement. Ever.
Why is that fat idiot nobody always comes with bs story’s!
Even Tony yayo killled this dude in freestyles! What would this fat morron gonna do on stage!
