In a recent discussion with Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson, renowned Hip Hop DJ Funk Flex shared his perspective on Verzuz battles and boldly claimed that Busta Rhymes is unparalleled when it comes to a song-for-song showdown.
When asked about the possibility of a Verzuz between JAY-Z and Nas, or who could potentially challenge JAY-Z, Flex confidently stated, “Busta Rhymes would spank anybody in a Verzuz.” He continued by emphasizing that no current artist in the game could rival Busta Rhymes in a Verzuz battle, although he did acknowledge that Missy Elliott might offer some competition.
Regarding Memphis Bleek’s assertion that Nas lacks sufficient hits to go up against Jay in a Verzuz, Flex weighed in, saying, “Nas has enough songs, but Jay’s swagger is strong.” He went on to explain that JAY-Z’s stage presence and swagger could give him an edge in such a matchup. Flex added that Nas and JAY-Z possess different styles, with Nas excelling in lyrics and Jay excelling in swagger.
When the conversation turned to LL COOL J, Flex described him as another unique G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time) artist with a history of battling rivals.
In conclusion, Flex couldn’t definitively predict the outcome of a Verzuz battle between Nas, LL COOL J, and JAY-Z, considering their multi-platinum statuses and distinct styles. This discussion follows Funk Flex’s previous challenge to Busta Rhymes, urging him to release new music, which resulted in Busta dropping two new tracks shortly after the challenge.
