Fans were here for what Black Twitter deemed the ultimate Verzuz match-up, Battle of the Dogs: DMX vs. Snoop.
There were too many highlights to name here, including DMX kicking off the session with a prayer (and making Snoop put down his blunt), Snoop’s epic and meme-worthy dance moves, the rappers’ freestyles and the love and camaraderie displayed by both men.
Who said rap was a young man’s game? X and Snoop took old-school hip-hop heads down memory lane with their extensive playlist and if folks weren’t working from home or furloughed, they’d probably be fake coughing on the phone because they need a sick day to recover from the virtual party. Good vibes only was the mood and if your bad knee forced you to play the loveseat, that was OK.
The general consensus was that Snoop didn’t win, nor did DMX, but rather last night was a win for the culture. Two million people watched via Instagram Live, including the folks at NASA.
In case you weren’t watching your Twitter feed on your secret cell, we rounded up a few of Black Twitter’s reactions to the Battle of the Dogs.
