As the Verzuz platform continues to level up, more and more Hip Hop and R&B artists are trying to throw their hats into the proverbial ring. Following DMX and Snoop Dogg’s face-off on July 22, Twitter starting clamoring for a Chris Brown versus Usher showdown — even though Brown definitively stated he wanted nothing to do with it.
Now, Juicy J is attempting, once again, to get in on the action. On Monday (July 27), the Three 6 Mafia OG set his sights on the one and only Nas. After Timbaland tweeted, “What’s the next @verzuzonline?!,” J replied, “Juicy j vs Nas.”
This isn’t the first time J has set the bar high for a potential battle. Earlier this month, the Stay Trippy mastermind challenged Dr. Dre to a showdown, tweeting, “I wanna do a Verzus battle wit Dr Dre no cappuccino.”
In 2006, Three 6 Mafia became the first Hip Hop group to win an Academy Award when they won a gilded trophy in the Best Original Song category for the track “It’s Hard Out Here For A Pimp” from the Hustle & Flow soundtrack. The group’s extensive catalog paired with J’s solo work would provide plenty of songs to pull from to meet the 20-song requirement.
Juicy J Challenges Dr. Dre To A 'Verzuz' Battle: 'No Cappuccino'
But like they did with Dre, many people doubt J’s discography could hold a candle to Nas’ whose 1994 debut Illmatic alone yielded several classics, including “N.Y. State Of Mind,” “The World Is Yours” and “One Love.”
The reactions to J’s suggestion are all over the place, but a lot of people are upset anyone is even toying with the notion J could beat Nasty Nas.
Check some of the reactions out below.
Chris brown is a million times better than usher
Lay off the laced blunts
Chris brown is like a super star drug dealer … been selling dope for years… has cars, girls, etc – but never made it to kingpin status. Usher is kingpin status… diamond albums, diamond hits. Breezy is dope… but usher kingpin iconic. Sometimes we have to allow reality to sway are personal opinions. Usher can play one album – the confession joint and that will end breezy. But yes breez has more radio songs/ but he don’t have monumental moments like usher…
People are so stupid!!!! Rappers with ghost writers have hits(Drake), so what does that mean? The young generation listens to dumb shit!!!!!
Nas cares about being an ill MC!!!!!
These dummies dont even realize that hits are not the point here…I would explain but itll be a waste of time for idiots…Juicy vs Lil John would be a nice VS. Nas Vs Meth would be a nice VS
Nas and Juicy J aren’t even in the same genre IDGAF what anybody says. The classics Nas has under his belt are nearly unrivaled. Imagine being so dope that your first album is arguably the greatest hip hop album ever made, yet people argue his second album was better.
He had a classic fist album and everything else has been trash. We just gonna act like It Was Written wasn’t the worst follow up album of all time? You could say sophomore slump but he followed that up with I Am… and proved the first album was a fluke. He hasn’t had anything near Illmatic since.
The Message, Street Dreams, I Gave You Power, Take It In Blood, Affirmative Action, Black Girl Lost, If I Ruled The World. Bro shut the fuck up.
I didn’t ask for a track list. In one album he went from a raw gritty underground sound to mainstream. Everybody knows that album trash
If you wanna run with that as your personal opinion feel free. But this whole “facts” and “everybody knows” angle you trying to take shows your ignorance because the actual documented facts tell a different story. And I really don’t care about what you didn’t ask for. Nobody asked for your headass take, but here we have it.
Yo Disregard My Reply It Was Intended For Justme With That Dumbass Comment He Or She Or Bot Made…. You Dropped The Science On Whomever It Is….
Disregard That Comment It Was Intended For Justme…. Respect
It Was Written is classic BECAUSE he changed sound ya big dummy. If he re-made Illmatic on the second album it would have been stale.
I didn’t ask for a track list. He completely changed sounds in one album. He went from raw gritty underground sound to mainstream and that facts.
Bro to call It Was Written a Sophomore Slump GTFOH you clown
Ok Lmao Whose Hired You To Ride The “Takeover Bandwagon” Man To State Nas Hasn’t Followed Anything In Comparison To Illmatic Is Retarded Yes Retarded……..
He’s back on crack.. pure, uncut, Peruvian
If Juicy J is allowed to use 3-6 Mafia records…then this isn’t even a conversation to have. Nas may be a better lyricist but he doesn’t have as many hit records. Their cultural relevance is about equal as well truth be told.
Doesn’t have as many hit records? Are you on crack?
Juicy J vs nas battle don’t even sound right.. They are polar opposites, lyrically and sonically speaking… Nas is a complex abstract street poet on sparse East Coast production and juicy J is a club crunk rapper on dark bass heavy down south beats… Their respective music serves two different purposes.. Three 6 mafia music ain’t nothing but hype violent dark drugged out speaker knocking music and nas music is thinking man’s music with a message.. Of course juicy J will win with this generation.. This generation don’t give a fuck about bars and thinks that East Coast production sounds dated and doesn’t knock hard enuff
Shit Put On LL Cool J “Jack The Ripper” Or Eric Sermon “Stay Real” Or Nas “You Know My Style” Even Nas “On The Real” Knocks Hard As Hell!
3-6 Mafia vs 8Ball and MJG would be a better experience…
I gotta disagree. Eight ball and mjg vs ugk. Southern legends vs southern legends
Both would be dope. Three 6 vs Ball & G is Memphis vs Memphis
Nas would go 20 n 0 in this. Only guys who can stack up to him are Jay-Z, Eminem, and Rakim. That’s it.
Rakim doesn’t have the catalog to compete, no matter how influential his early material is. Black Thought maybe could with all The Roots albums. It’s only really Nas, Jay, Em and Thought who have had the longevity, and Em is debatable.
The battle is about your catalog . Which means songs you have written for yourself or others . You can play anyone’s song you wrote for them. For example Neo can play all of beyonce’s music in a battle cause he wrote or produced the music. Now do u follow me?? So therefore, he would beat NAS hands down ! Dmx is the best rapper out of New York, and Andrea 3000 from the south and Tupac from west coast ! BOB MARLEY IS LEGEND
they arent even in the same lane….maybe juicy j vs ludacris
That’s Ludicrous, Ludacris will turn juicy j to urin8 j lol juicy j vs project pat
I feel the only people that banged 3 6 back then were math addicts and fat, nasty, trailer park girls. Nas could “Ether” Juicy J with a Isley collab… foh
Lol…but no…just no…
“Project Windows” lol Understood….
I want to see the Migos and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.
I listen to three six more than anybody else, but even I know this isn’t a good match….Nas is a lyricist, Juicy J is a rapper.
Bro that’s not up for discussion bro not even coming close to NAS
The only person Nas can go into a verzuz is Jay z.
Nas has arguably the most classic hip hop album of all time. He was in his late teens when he wrote those verses. Imagine what the hell you were doing in your late teens. Nas has arguably the best diss track of all time in Ether. The man he ethered….the #1 rapper of the time, Jay-Z. He’s had metaphorical songs where he takes the perspective of a gun and a jail cell. He’s made a song where he tells the whole story backwards and it’s ill. His tracks are inspirational, go over history and religion, tells stories of the mafiosa lifestyle and drops countless gems on his records. He listed his daughter as an executive producer on one of his albums so she can receive royalties. Dude was wise beyond his years. If you don’t know, do yourself a favor and listen to his first albums up until Stillmatic.
The battle is about your catalog . Which means songs you have written for yourself or others . You can play anyone’s song you wrote for them. For example Neo can play all of beyonce’s music in a battle cause he wrote or produced the music. Now do u follow me?? So therefore, he would beat NAS hands down ! Dmx is the best rapper out of New York, and Andrea 3000 from the south and Tupac from west coast ! BOB MARLEY IS LEGEND
Yo That Was A Respectable Comment But Why Stop At Stillmatic? Nas Has Delivered Even More In Dept Insightful Content Beyond Those Albums…. C’Mon Dawg Don’t Limit The Man’s Ability Beyond The Expected Normalcy…..
That nigga said he wanted with dr b4 fuck him
my money is on nas to win if this ever materializes…..Nas vs Jay would be something to behold on the real
The best battle would be Nas vs.Mr.Scarface so many of you forget about face who is without a doubt in my top ten greatest rappers of all time and don’t any of you out there forget it.
You bumped your head… Nas! Nas! Nas! Hahahahahaha Nas is the Goat!!!

The best battle would be Nas vs.Mr Scarface which is also would be in my top ten greatest rappers of all time.And for you so called rap historians out there this would be one to see end of discussion.
Hey i wanna see a big black dick go in my wifes pussy and asshole!! 4126288664
Me and homie was just discussing this. Versus battles go off of KNOWN HITS! Not YOUR favorite album cut not bars or none of that. They play their catalouge of KNOWN SONGS from there discography. Juicy J shits on Nas in that category facts and your sipping too much New York tea if you think otherwise. Juicy and Three 6 gets play in the club, oochie wally does not
Big Earl are you dumb. What does a club record have to do with Verzuz. Please tell us all!

Yeah, DMX Is Nice I Grew Up Listening To DMX But Stating He’s The Best Out Of New York? Cut It Out? And Andre 3000 The Best Out Of The South? Please Do Your Research…. K-Rino Isn’t As Well Known But He Would Make Andre 3000 Seem Like Child’s Play…. Yo Listen To Rap Beyond Mainstream Recognition And More So For Artistry….. Respect……
You right
Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha AGAINST NAS. Realty————someone go get 2 PAC And Biggie out the grave. No one is F with Nas!
Nas ——- 1 verse Verbal Intercourse…. Stop the Verzuz. It is over in 1 minute and 2 seconds. Not even fair nor close!
Yo That Reply Wasn’t Interference To What You Stated That Was An Error… It Was Towards Whoisyouboi…. The System Fucked It Up Much Props….
It’s just not a good match-up. He needs to be going up against 8-ball and MJG, or e-40, ugk, etc. it’s just more in the style-class of music
First of all to challenge Nas it will have to be a lyrical battle. & I wouldn’t care how many commercialized club hits Juicy J has. It’s a lost cause. Nas has nothing to gain battling Juicy J & J has a lot he can gain just from the challenge itself. Mfkas talkin bout club hits fk a club hit. He ain’t talkin bout ?. That’s why hip hop needs different categories now. Mumble rap, hip pop, club hop etc. Juicy calling out BIG NAMES trying to earn stripes. Nas do like Dre & tell em fk off.
Juicy j sit ur ass down u should have said Lol Jon
Why won’t jay z battle Nas
Juicy j vs tela is more acceptable not nas
