September 15, (THEWILL) – The Fat Joe and Ja Rule VERZUZ battle took place last night at Madison Square Garden in New York. Here is how things went down.
The battle had several guests, an intermission, and lots of smack talking between the two rappers, even though they had no real beef between them.
The evening kicked off in party mode with dance hits from the ‘80s including “Candy Girl” by New Edition, “You Called me and Told Me” by Jeff Redd, “Don’t be Cruel” by Bobby Brown, and “Remember the Time” by Michael Jackson set the tone for the crowd.
Technician the DJ changed the vibe by kicking off his set with jams from Biggie Smalls, JAY-Z, Style P, Fabulous, Nas, Wu-Tang and other New York legends. He even played some 50 Cent tracks, a move many suggested was targeted at Ja Rule as the rapper is his arch-enemy.
Terror Squad’s Fat Joe took the stage first before Murder Inc.’s Ja Rule brought the energy in return.
While Joe taunted Ja over his current relevance, asking “Where you been the last ten years?”, Ja maintained that his short run in the spotlight still eclipsed Joe’s multi-decade track record of hit-making.
Both rappers took fans back to their breakout hits. Fat Joe dusted off “Flow Joe” from his 1993 debut, and Ja Rule reached back for his 2000 Grammy-nominated “It’s Murda” featuring DMX and JAY-Z. After he played “Can I Get a What What,” Joe called him out for all the features with Hov.
The first special guest was the first lady of Terror Squad: Remy Ma who performed her verse on “Ante Up (Remix)”. She rocked the stage in a yellow leopard print cropped bubble jacket and matching hot pants. While Ja Rule was rapping along, Remy took a shot at him right in his face.
As the battle went on, it became clear that the terror squad star’s strength was in his high profile collaborations and he also bragged about the artists he put on (DJ Khaled, Big Pun) and how rich they are.
