Two of Hip-Hop's greatest are set to face off in the latest installment of the popular battle series VERZUZ. On Oct. 17, the Swizz Beatz and Timbaland-founded series will feature none other than KRS-One and Big Daddy Kane; two rap legends who helped solidify The Bronx and Brooklyn, respectively; and who represent innovation and creativity in the art of lyricism.
Of course, as with every VERZUZ, there's widespread commentary and speculation about how this particular battle will unfold. VERZUZ, for all of its popularity, hasn't showcased very many "Golden Age" Hip-Hop artists before this matchup, so a lot is riding on Kris and Kane to represent for Hip-Hop's pre-bling generation. Individually, it's an opportunity to remind people just how potent these two emcees' body of work is. But don't let the Twitter hot takes and online speculation sway you. There's only one take that matters, and it's this one.
Of course, we may be a little biased.
But most of the takes you're going to see online are just not very good. There are those who feel that Kane is going to take this "easily" because he's such a dynamic showman and there are those who have said that KRS has it because he has a longer run of popularity. Those are understandable arguments but they both sell the other guy short: KRS may not dance like Kane, but he's one of the most kinetic performers in Hip-Hop. Kane may not have the longevity of KRS, but his first two albums alone pack a serious song-for-song punch.
So let's dive into KRS-One Verzuz Big Daddy Kane. Jay Quan and Stereo Williams offer their takes.
