The New York-centric Verzuz battle between the Lox and Dipset was about more than just bragging rights.

The Harlem rap group the Diplomats, a.k.a Dipset, have had a whirlwind of a career. Led by Cam’ron, Juelz Santana, and Jim Jones, they were a part of Puffy and Mase’s Harlem World scene in the late Nineties and joined Roc-a-Fella Records in the early 2000s. Dipset was equal parts weird, rebellious, and musical. Cam’ron knew how to make lines like “drinking sake on a Suzuki in Osaka Bay” roll off the tongue with a cool ease that nobody can replicate.

The Lox consist of Jadakiss, Styles P, and Sheek Louch. The group started when they were all high school students in Yonkers, and they managed to bring the small city north of the Bronx respect in the rap game. They came onto the scene with something meaner and unique to their neighborhood. Even in the poorest parts of NYC, there’s still a big city mentality. In Yonkers, you are on your own to rot.

Inside MSG’s Hulu Ampitheater, as Michael Buffer announced the two groups to the crowd, Jadakiss looked like he was ready for a heavyweight fight. There was a growl on his face that made him look like Mike Tyson — he wasn’t saying a word, just menacingly staring. While Styles and Sheek were pumping up the crowd, Jada looked like he was a part of their security detail, scanning the surroundings for threats.the Lox took a commanding lead early with the crowd.

Meanwhile, the shit-talking was otherworldly. “I don’t live in Colorado, I don’t live in Miami,” Jada said with ferocity, before going into his classic verse on the Ja Rule cut “New York.” If there was any doubt about who were the better rappers, the Lox put that all to rest last night. Of course, Dipset had their moments. Jimmy doing “We Fly High” was great, but without Max B, it pales in comparison to when the Lox did songs like “Mighty D-Block” and “Dope Money.
