By PAGE Editor in partnership with Kulture Hub

As exciting as they have been, with more Verzuz battles to come, we got bored and thought we would create a list of match-ups that may be fun to see play out. Founded by super producers Timbaland and Swizz Beatz, who started the battle wave, have fostered friendly hit-for-hit between music icons.

Their battle has been followed by acts like songwriters, The Dream versus Sean Garrett, recording talents Ryan Teddy versus Benny Blanco, hip hop legends Rza versus DJ Premier, and famously the glitch-filled episodes between Teddy Riley and Babyface.

We thought we would create a list that expanded on the idea of the illustrious Verzuz battles. We would love to hear your angle on some of these battles listed, and who you think should go head to head while we are still in quarantine.

Tyler, The Creator vs Asap Rocky

Apart from the pranks, their friendship hasn’t really been tested.

 

Lil Uzi Vert vs Playboi Carti

Let the dreads fly with these two, as they go back and forth on dropping music – or not.

 

Travis Scott vs Kanye West

The ‘gawd’ Yé has made gospel off the back of Travis Scott’s original sound. And let’s not forget their sneaker collabs.

 

Chalrie Wilson vs Ronald Isley

These two have timeless vocal cords.

 

Beanie Sigel vs Meek Mill

I think these two need to just call Smack for a URL rap battle.

 

Keyshia Cole vs Lil Mo

These Superwomen can really tug on the emotional chords and still rock with your favorite rappers.

 

Usher vs Chris Brown

Both started making music in their teens and have the dance moves to tear up any rug.

 

Ghostface vs Raekwon

Learning these two had real beef before rap, it’s only right they put their tracklists up against each other.

 

Funk Flex vs DJ Clue

These two have always been on opposite ends about their crafts.

 

J. Cole vs Kendrick Lamar

I’d love to hear and compare vocals and lyrics as these two can really help you tell someone “I like you” and hopefully spark romance.

 

Eve vs Remy Ma

These veteran Rap Mistresses are nothing to play with and they have records to prove it.
