There were a host of celebrities at the Barclays Center over the weekend as Big Daddy Kane and KRS-One Verzuz battle, including Rock Steady Crew legend Crazy Legs, who detailed a conversation with Busta Rhymes.
Crazy Legs revealed that he told Busta that no rapper was worthy of going against him in a Verzuz battle. He then added, "[Busta] told me that 5 people already turned it down. Some things are just what they are. He has the unfortunate pleasure of being a god in the rap game."
While speaking to Complex last year, Busta addressed the criteria for him to do a Verzuz, stating, ""I would love to spar against anybody ... as long as their catalog is a powerful catalog, because I don’t want to do a corny Verzuz. I don’t wanna do no Verzuz with anybody whose catalog isn’t crazy. And I would love to do a Verzuz with somebody that I’m a fan of, because I’m only trying to compete with people that brings the best out of me."
While he told Complex that Jay-Z, Eminem, and Lil Wayne are 3 potential artists that he'd go against, he recalled losing a battle to Jay-Z in high school during a sit-down with the 85 South Show.
"Ultimately, Hov got the best of the battle in that moment. I was just starting to figure out how to master my fascination with the speed rap. He was already on it. He was doing it at an incredible level of skillset. ... Me, at that point, with my competitive a**, I always wanted to have my rematch. It didn’t happen which was fine because I ended up getting my skillset developed to the point where I don’t think nobody want to f*** with a n***a now."
