Versuz is here to stay. How can it be “played out”?
Rory stay repeating this like many of the other plum dumb points he makes and he couldnt be anymore wrong imo.
If you really break down Versuz as a platform its literally built to be a mainstay in music, but esp hip hop.
For instance, We always had rap battle platforms and always will but Versuz expounded on that concept by adding producers, songwriters, SINGERS to compete on stage in a rap battle esque way. Thats dope. And it never had been done before. Its possible that they even have a trademark on that concept. If not , it dont even matter cuz if another platform rises and tries to do it, they’ll be seen as a copycat
Next, even when it comes to actual rappers, one would think if this is about competition and seeing who’s best, why won’t they just rap battle. But the thing is not all rappers are lyricist of that caliber. Not all rappers predicate their music on punchlines and gun bars, etc. And thats exactly what makes Versuz stand out. It created a level play between competitors and in the whole field as a whole. Its not just about lyrics. But about the music quality. Its impact. More importantly its about how u leverage all that together in the performance and combine it with stage presence. Which brings me to my next point, Versuz became a sport within itself. Like its a thing. Theres no formula to winning a versuz but there is obviously strategy and technique that goes into it which is dope.
Ultimately the best rapper or artist always wins because usually the thing that make them win on 9 out if 10 ten times turns out to be the slider that made them who they were during their primes. And they usually maximize that to win.
I personally dont think its going anywhere. I think theres just been wack versuz recently same way sometimes you go through seasons of bad rap battles, or football games. But all this Versuz needs to retire stuff is so whack.
