Chart-topping greats Nelly_Mo and Ludacris went head-to-head in arguably the most high-profile battle in the 'Verzuz' series to date. Who do you think came out on top?
were two of the defining hip-hop artists of the early 2000s, expanding the genre’s sound while representing St. Louis and Atlanta, respectively. Their personalities were undeniable; they each collected more hits than most mainstream pop heroes of the time.
After Nelly initially signed on, Luda also mentioned that this year marks the 20th anniversary for both of their debut albums --for Nelly, both of which sold millions of copies while setting up prolonged runs of success. As Nelly put it to his compatriot and Verzuz competitor in between bites of chicken, “Your longevity is impeccable!”
“What’s a pimp without a ho?” Ludacris posited when following up Nelly’s “Pimp Juice” with one of his early staples... and then Nelly dropped out again, which allowed Luda to play Chingy's “Holidae In” while waiting for his challenger to sign back on. “Flap Your Wings” remains an eternal jam and the superior single in this matchup, but it was increasingly difficult to drop down and get your eagle on amidst such WiFi frustration. Call it a draw.
Battle of the features! Before pressing play on Ciara’s “Oh,” Ludacris described his guest spot on the track as one of his favorite verses ever -- and then he proceeded to act out some of the lyrics while listening, including miming a camera on “take a flick-flick-flick-flick!,” which was incredible. Then Nelly flexed while playing “Nasty Girl,” from the 2005 Notorious B.I.G. posthumous releaseound 10: Nas feat. Ludacris and Jadakiss' “Made You Look” vs. Beanie Sigel and Freeway feat.
