It was the knockout heard around the Hip Hop world. Jim Jones, Cam’ron, Juelz Santana and Freeky Zeeky of the Harlem rap group The Diplomats fell at the hands of the Yonkers natives Jadakiss, Styles P and Sheek Louch of The LOX in an epic 2021 Verzuz Showdown.
In the battle, Jadakiss put on an MVP performance that had many crown him the King of Verzuz. Even though Dipset was hit with blow after blow, Jim Jones held it down when it looked like they were out for the count with records such as “Certified Gangstas,” “We Fly High” and “Salute” glaring through the Hulu Theater speakers.
Coming from Harlem, New York, and watching Dipset lose to The LOX live was a hard pill to swallow and heartbreaking. I asked Jim if there was any chance he’d want a rematch with The LOX, and he admitted Jada, Styles and Louch came ready to fight, but there’s another match he’s looking for.
“People took it like a rap championship, and to hear you say that moment hurt your heart I’m like damn people really took this shit for real and to the heart like, man that shit is crazy,” Jim said in between tokes of his blunt.
The buzz in the air that night was electrifying as people from Harlem and Yonkers came to Madison Square Garden with energy only a New Yorker could understand. It was a once-in-a-lifetime moment that people are still talking about five months later.
“We got on stage with n-ggas we respect and have known for 20 years,” Jim added. “It was a dope event overall and it’s something I don’t think the city will ever get to witness unless we happen to do a rematch or something like that. Jada got the best of the situation, and I owe him one. Don’t worry, I got him.”
Capo has been on a serious run as of late with all the quality projects he’s been dropping since 2018’s Wasted Talent. He has a Gangsta Grillz project with DJ Drama titled We Set Trends that’s extending this incredible second half to his career, coming out on Friday (January 14). With a respectable catalog like his, I asked Jim who else he would battle solo on the Verzuz stage if it wasn’t Jadakiss.
Jadakiss Gets All The Love Following Dipset + The LOX Verzuz
“I would want to have a Verzuz with Jada. Solo,” he said with a smile. “He has to deal with me on my terms. He better be prepared. When it comes to a top three, I don’t really have a list. I just got real smoke with Jada.”
He added, “I don’t like how he did that [laughs]. I want total smoke with him. Anybody else is welcome, and if the setting is New York, I feel like I can hang with whoever. I got some New York shit, the city. I got that.”
Stay tuned for more of HipHopDX’s conversation with Jim Jones coming soon.
No offence to jimmy but jadakiss is ruthless with it, this wouldn’t be a contest lol. Jada is a top 15 emcee
Top 15?? Little underrated ya think lol. The boy is cold on the mic
Jim Jones is not even on the same page as Jada. Not yesterday, Today or 2morrow period….
Jim Jones sounding like a masochist
Give it up Jim, its over!
What is Jim going to do sing we fly high all night?
Jim Jones is garbage. Jadakiss is a top 5 all time rapper. Jim Jones don’t even crack top 50. Maybe Jim should try with Tekashi 69 first and see if he can get by that… LoL.
Killa the only one with hits
Killa got the hits but capo got the better albums
Stop it ,,, this ain’t real!!!!’ JIMMY knows better than that!!!!
Take a damn shower, Jones. Smelly bastard…
Been waiting for this comment lmao
Lmaooo Jimmy u couldn’t shine this mans shoes
Even if Jada was only allowed to play songs he hasn’t played in the first two verzuz, he’s still whooping Jimmy’s ass.
Jones doesn’t have 20 songs , let alone the lyrical skill set to face Kiss. You’d think that one ass whupping was enough…
After that Verzus I’m pretty sure Jadakiss could give ANYBODY in the game a run for their money. He might not win against Nas, Jay or Em but it would definetly be a draw or a close call. As for Jim Jones, not really interested in seeing him in a solo verzus. I feel like Verzuz is a one time gig.
Jimmy can shout over his backing tracks/raps, basically karaoke, with a few decent hits. Jada will rap over backing tracks and know all the words and kill it, will an amazing catalogue. TKO already.
Jim Jones sounds like one of Mike Tyson’s old opponents like “No really, I wasn’t ready; I thought it was just sparring session… Now I want him for real!” Meanwhile, you got cauliflower ear, there’s a knot over one eye, cracked ribs…”
Just face it, Capo. You got slept by a superior artist. Jadakiss brought lyrics, crowd control, audience participation and superior overall artistry. And he kept the Verzuz fun—he moved at a pace that kept people engaged and focused on songs older heads knew and loved.
It was a textbook beatdown.
And nobody got hurt–just a bruised ego.
And there’s no one that wants a Jim Jones solo verzuz. We’d rather see Cam’ron verzuz Ma$e before we sit thru 5 versions of We Fly High.
Clearly you guys didn’t read what he said he said on his terms, also up until the versus Jim been way more relevant than anyone that was on that stage and has 5 albums with bangers since 2018 what jada gonna do all the songs the already did ? Jim got damn near 100 songs that he can do that wasn’t even done on versus, y’all funny though,but clearly don’t really know what you’re talking about as far as Jim not being able to hold his own, I don’t wanna hear 20 jada freestyles, as far as the Dips Vs Lox, y’all got blinded by all the jumping and yelling and Cap bullshit til you forgot versus is about hit for hit song for song it’s not a rap battle or who out on the best show I’ll go to a concert for that
Fuck that Jim Jim Jim poor as Jim he just a weak ass n**** and he don’t have no honey wraps and he going to stay with ain’t nobody f****** with Jada and everybody know that
Never understood the fandom for Dipset. They’ve never had lyrics that you can put up against The Lox and don’t have enough hit songs to be considered a top tier group.
Dipset was for the class clowns who graduated high school and thought swag would carry them through as an adult. When everyone else is working, going to school or starting businesses in their 20s, these dudes who like Dipset are still trying to be popular because the have the Jordans or some other gear.
You a clown for that statement
“Ooey gooey, Chip Ahoy chewy, don’t like me then sue me, I heard ya girl wanna do me.” -Cam’ron
Dipset took an hour to get out on stage while the fools got white girl wasted in the green room and Juelz was trying to find his teeth. Next Dipset stepped out looking like some sloppy drunks and got washed by LOX throughout the performance. Why does this website report on this old dusty rapper so much? Nobody GAF about El Crapo except for some f*ckboys from his little block. He would even lose to 69 and that would be hilarious.
69 can not rock in NYC on any Verzuz so cut it out
U ain’t never lie real shit 69 that is the bottom of the burrel
Jim is going to put his vamp outfit on. Then thinks a different outcome will happen. He thinks dicset was wutang
To lose twice?? Rolling solo you getting washed more. Let it go
Jim Jones must be smoking some of that good good lol. Jadakiss would murk him in his sleep, it ain’t no contest. One ass whoopin’ was enough.
Jim Whack you will get your ass destroyed, sit the fck down.
Jones has a bunch of albums with unremarkable songs. His one hit would hype the crowd for about three minutes, but that’s it. Jim know he ain’t got nothin’ for Jada…
A verz wit Jada c’mon this like a Todd Germaine wen smith killed and end his rap career Swizz and tim make that shit happen asap the ? wants to ? this shit Jim gonna need a bed on stage ???? real facts it’s yo boy v.c.im out salute
Jim Jones couldn’t take that stage against J-Kwon
Lmfaoooo!!!!
Jim couldn’t win against Sheek…. lmao
Capo you good…but please we beg you let it go, you really don’t want the smoke with any members of the L.O.X…
Jimmy: “Don’t worry, I got him”.
Literally everyone else: No. You don’t.
Jim Jones SHUT UP!!!!
Jim, smgdh stop it stop it I think that you just love to hear your self talk, but yeah it wasn’t even close.
No need to run it back. Move on.
Wth Jim Definitely Need To Stop It Lmaoooooo???♂?
What he trying to do? Giving Jada his 3rd win on verzuz?
