New York wasn’t trying to hear that, and large portions of the crowd let Technique know by booing until he switched to another track. But, with respect to Uzi, we were in a different lane last night. In the digital-only format of Verzuz, Technician t he DJ would have never felt backlash for playing Lil Uzi Vert’s crooning in a mix of gritty New York rap. While Dipset at times seemed too stuck on what Verzuz has been in the past, feeling as unorganized as last year’s shaky wi-fi moments, The Lox put on a show worthy of Madison Square Garden. The Lox, gritty Yonkers vets (and apparent underdogs for many), brought it to Dipset with a level of showmanship that showed what all live Verzuz events should be going forward. Little did I know that the knockout had set the tone for the rest of the night. Hunter then bowed to the crowd, which, if they were anything like me, was half enthusiastic about his display, and half excited that the preliminaries were over and it was time for Dipset and The Lox to go at it. “Stone Cold about to go down,” an onlooker repeatedly yelled behind me, joking about Wilson’s resemblance to the wrestling icon. Boxer Michael Hunter had Mike Wilson reeling, hitting him flush with blows he was too dazed to do much about.
DIPSET VS THE LOX VERZUZ FULL
Madison Square Garden’s Hulu Theater was already astir when I walked in, though it was probably only 50% full at first. Triller, who bought into Verzuz in March of this year, augmented the main event with a pair of boxing matches on Tuesday, August 3.
The contentious atmosphere for The Lox and Dipset Verzuz battle was set by a literal heavyweight fight.
