13384290, I think they gotta retool #Verzuz. Y’all agree? Posted by lightworks, Sun May-17-20 10:00 AM
After watching Luda and Nelly last night I’ve come to the conclusion that:
1) 20 songs is too many.
Most artists have 10 amazing surefire hits or great songs people know about.
But 20 means we get filler in the middle, like we got from Nelly and Jill Scott, while they wait to play the last 5 straight fire tracks.
There are very few artists that pound for pound have 20 straight amazing songs in a battle situation.
Erykah did. Luda did.
I’m sure Jay and Beyoncé and Whitney would.
Of course Stevie would.
But I think 20 songs is too much for this format because more artists don’t have that.
2) Also, Verzuz goes on a little too long with all the talking and starting 30 minutes late to let the people come in as Swizz says.
I suggest he and Timbaland cut it down to best no filler and most fire 10 songs with a bonus 5 for fun, kinda like Luda and Nelly did.
Maybe take the last 5 fun songs and explain more about them, whether it is a funny or interesting story or something cool about the arrangement.
Leave the actual battle songs alone re long talks in between because I feel like that throws the vibe off.
