Juicy J Wants to Do a 'Verzuz' Battle With Nas

After tweet quoting Timbaland asking who the next 'Verzuz' battle will be, Juicy J volunteered himself (oh, and Nas) by writing "Juicy j vs Nas."

Juicy J just wants to battle somebody.

At the end of last month he wanted a Verzuz toe-to-toe with Dr. Dre. That has not materialized and probably never will:

I wanna do a Verzus battle wit Dr Dre no cappuccino 🧢

Now he's trying to speak type a showdown with Nas into existence. That was his response when Timbaland wondered aloud who was next to accept a virtual face-off. That signal searching for interest was answered succinctly:

Since it's still relevant (on account of celebrity workloads being drastically reduced by COVID) here's what we wrote when Juicy J asked for Dre:

Before you dismiss Juicy J as fighting outside of his weight class, let's consider his legacy. Juicy J and DJ Paul created the iconic group, Three 6 Mafia, in the early '90s, and together, they ran a self-contained operation that consisted of Juicy and Paul co-writing and producing the majority of the group's hits, including the Academy Award-winning song, "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp." He also produced Outkast and UGK's "Int'l Players Anthem.

As for a quick look at how fans feel about this most recent challenge, well, Twitter makes finding out real easy:

Juicy J gonna play “Bandz a Make Her Dance” then Nas gonna follow up with “I Can”, and I’ma cut the live off. https://t.co/Cr5dIX1ViV

People thinking that Juicy J is a better rapper than Nas is even more proof that people have lost their minds in 2020 pic.twitter.com/pS2QKiPj8b
