Swizz Beatz and Timbaland’s Verzuz series on Instagram Live have provided some relief for music lovers unable to attend live concerts during the coronavirus pandemic. From RZA versus DJ Premier to Erykah Badu versus Jill Scott, there’s been a little something for everyone.
Now, Juicy J wants part of the action. On Tuesday (June 30), the Three 6 Mafia OG fired off a tweet attempting to reel Dr. Dre into a potential head-to-head showdown — and he’s serious.
“I wanna do a Verzus battle wit Dr Dre no cappuccino,” he tweeted.
While some may have doubts about Juicy J’s ability to go up against a powerhouse like Dre, his extensive catalog speaks for itself.
In 2006, Three 6 Mafia became the first Hip Hop group to win an Academy Award when they walked way with an Oscar in the Best Original Song category for the track “It’s Hard Out Here For A Pimp” from the Hustle & Flow soundtrack.
By this time, the Memphis-bred group already had eight studio albums under their belt, including their 1995 debut Mystic Stylez and 2005’s Most Unknown Known. They also released four collaborative projects with various members of The Posse.
Juicy J Apologizes For Making Music That May Have Influenced Drug Use
As a solo artist, Juicy J has released four studio albums, culminating with Rubba Band Business in 2017. He also has numerous mixtapes in his catalog such as 2017’s Highly Intoxicated and 2018’s Shutdafukup.
Production wise, he lent his skills to Outkast and UGK’s “Int’l Players Anthem” and is responsible for more current hits like Katy Perry’s “Dark Horse” and Megan Thee Stallion’s “Hot Girl Summer.”
Meanwhile, Dre’s career is full of unbelievable highlights. From the 1992 classic album The Chronic — which helped introduced Snoop Dogg — to his numerous hits with his protégé Eminem, Dre has earned his top at the proverbial top and then some.
Twitter wasn’t entirely convinced Juicy J would get stomped out by Dre either.
Check out some of the reactions below.
buahahahaha!
Who is gassin this guy? You’re a glorified hype man bro. Have a battle with Flavor Flav or Spigg Nice, or one of the St. Lunatics or something. BTW, these ‘battles’ are wack. They’re just an ego stroke-a-thon, there’s nothing adversarial about it, so it’s not a battle.
I thought it was ridiculous at first, but the more I think about it, Juicy has produced and/or rapped on hella jams. Numbers wise though, no comparison, Dr. Dre has too many credits.
The things social media will cause! Juicy J ain’t even on Jermaine Drupi’s level. And Dr. Dre already put that dude in his place many years ago
nah…juicy j(with dj paul) basically invented crunk…which paved the way for trap, chopped/screwed, drill, snap, etc dre just has HIS sound…which is over rated
It should be Juicy J AND DJ Paul cause they did alot of their beats together…. Dre has more hits but i thought Dre didn’t produce alot of his hits, he just paid to put his name on it??… Either way, Paul and Juice the GOATS with the beats!
All you young niggas better read up on Juicy and Dj Paul. EVERYTHING yall lil niggas like nowawdays from a production standpoint was birth by J and Paul .
Doesn’t sound like a good fit to me, I’d rather see Dre versuz Daz, or maybe Kanye West
Dj Quik vs Dr. Dre
Dre? only if he taking Daz and Warren G ideas and got Scott Storch on keys hahahahaha
