Ashanti vs Keyshia battle is about to begin. For those who don't know Verzuz is a series that started on Instagram during lockdown to bring some positivity to people and artist with large back catalogues.
Thoughts? Anyone watching?
Here's the link

Clicked on the link without knowing anything. First thought: "Where is Ja???" I haven't heard someone playing Ja Rule in many years.

OP, can you explain more in your post? What kind of battle? Rap battle, I'm guessing?
edit: OP explained. I didn't know either of them before this thread.

Yep. Already in there. And yes, two opposite R&B artist are going to Rap Battle because who doesn't rap battle because we can pretend we don't know what this is.

?
I wasn't familiar with them, and that was the only battle I could think of besides a battle of the bands given what I had to go on: two chairs with two mics and hip-hop playing with nobody in the stream, which didn't look like the setup for a battle of the bands to me. OP didn't have much info in their post, so I didn't know what I was clicking on. I thought it was gonna be wrestling until I clicked the link haha

I heard them both so much during my childhood but honestly Keyshia has more hits by her self compared to the more ensemble hits that Ashanti has.

It's literally been an hour and it hasn't even started yet. People gotta go to work. 😂

As for me, I'm on team Keyshia. Ashanti's repertoire is way too wrapped up in Ja Rule's for this to be fair.

I have no idea. But personally I'm more of an Ashanti person myself.

A better description of Verzuz for those who asked:
Verzuz, also known as Verzuz TV, is an American webcast series created by producers Timbaland and Swizz Beatz. ... The series invites two music icons, predominantly R&B and hip-hop, to highlight their discographies in two 10-song rounds during a three-hour session.

These things usually start an hour late, but this feels like it's been 3.

I REALLY need this DJ to just let the music play. When he came in scratching over the bridge of "Shoulda Let You Go" I almost lost it.

Also "Ooh Baby" is the perfect response song. This is a legitimately hard battle.

"Sad and Lonely" is the highlight. I stake my claim on that.
