FABOLOUS MAKE ME BETTER INSTRUMENTAL HOW TO
Aside from minor technical difficulties during the tail-end of the battle, this edition of the Instagram Live event continued the seamlessness of previous battles, with Jada and Fab proving that R&B and gospel artists aren’t the only ones who know how to put on a show in an effective fashion. Today, both continue to churn out material and are regarded as OG’s in the game, with resumes that place them on the list of the greatest rappers of all-time.Īs two of the greatest rappers out of New York to ever pick up a mic, and with their willingness to perform and compete out of love for the culture, it was a given that Freddy and Jason face off in a Verzuz matchup to see whose lyrical sword cuts the deepest, once and for all.
Throughout the aughts, both artists matched their commercial success with standout showings alongside other rap and R&B artists and on the mixtape circuit, building reputations as elite wordsmiths. While Jadakiss spent the latter half of the ’90s as a key cog in the Bad Boy Records machine as a member of The LOX, Fabolous bided his time dominating the mixtape circuit under the guiding hand of DJ Clue, who helped him secure a record deal through his imprint, Desert Storm. With both having released their debut solo albums in 2001, Jadakiss and Fabolous’ trajectories within the rap game have been eerily similar. While the event between the two - who joined forces for the highly-anticipated and critically acclaimed joint-album, Friday on Elm Street, in 2017 - was undoubtedly friendly and laced with compliments throughout the battle, there was no question that each came with the intent to outlast the other and walk away the victor. After pairing two of the most acclaimed stars in contemporary R&B on Juneteenth, Verzuz returned to its rap roots, as Jadakiss and Fabolous went heads up to see whose catalog reigns supreme.
