This weekâs Verzuz battle is a gift that keeps on giving.
Days after Dipset and The LOX went head-to-head at Madison Square Garden, Fat Joe treated fans to an extensive recap of everything that went down. And fans absolutely loved it.
Joe, who said he was âat the scene of the crime,â said he had to attend Tuesday nightâs battle because he didnât want to miss another historical event. The Bronx rapper then explained his outfit choice for the affair, saying it called for luxury clothing and tons of âblindingâ ice.
âYou can never run away from history. You have to attend these places âŚ,â he said. âI had to go with the Hermès. I couldâve worn a black tee. I couldâve worn this, but I had to go with Hermès. I had to go with so much diamonds that would blind the average person. Why? Because I knew this was history.â
Joey Crack went on to speak about the star-studded guest list, feeling a sense of âdangerâ in the air, and how he took COVID-19 precautions while in the audienceâspecifically his decision to wear a mask, which he couldnât decide to keep on or off as the battle became increasingly hype.
Fat Joe recalled the excitement he felt when The LOXâs Jadakiss played âNew York,â featuring Fat Joe and Ja Rule.
âIâm sitting there adjusting my mask, [and] just when I thought it couldnât get better, Jadakiss comes on and goes, âHey Harlem, Iâm really outside, you know me, itâs Jada.â Boom. Boom. Boom,â he said. âThe place went nuts. I lose my mind. Iâm going fucking apeshit crazy. I canât control the passion. Now I was neutral, but when the shit come on that Iâm on, I fucking lose it. I almost pulled a Lil Mama and rang up on the ring. I wanted the smoke at that point. I wanted the smoke! When they dropped the shit, half the audience looked at me.â
Another amusing moment during the stream was when Fat Joe spoke about the events after the battle.
âThe shit was so real yesterday, so thugged out, so New Nork, do you know where I went to eat dinner after the battle?â he said. âTake a guess? I went to White Castles [sic]. If you from New York, you know where I went âŚÂ Couple double cheese, couple onion rings, clam strips. I havenât been to fuckinâ White Castle in eight years. I just wanted to live this shit all the way the fuck out.â
