In the latest VERZUZ, two word warriors entered the fray. It seemed friendly as French Montana and Rick Ro$$ are friends and have never had tension.

But the fact that the “club anthem night” went in favor of Montana, he edged over Ricky Rozay. Ro$$ has more ride around in the whip music.

Even when a woman yelled out “it’s over” after Montana’s set, it seemed like he didn’t have to worry about being in second place.

Some interesting moments came with the crowd singing Drake’s muted vocals.

The night seemed to be a distraction, though, as the songs included the other vocals which the two rap phenoms rapped over their own words. Aside from that, it appeared to be a friendly exchange of “Hahns!” and “Huunghs!” regardless of the different records.

They found a pocket in “girl” records that catered to women who listen to hip hop. The power and influence of both rappers shone through on this VERZUZ as they kept sliding through their biggest hits from their catalogs.

Without a doubt, Ro$$ put in work but Frenchy had an advantage as most of Rozay’s songs describe the perils of the drug game.

Montana’s club anthem emphasis made him more focused on showing he is more interested in creating sonic landscapes to move bodies under low lights in sweaty dance floors.

Ro$$ did hold his own, however. He still had enough stamina to put up a great defense despite being outnumbered by the barrage of songs that created absolute domination by French. With his power to be a formidable player on the field of hip hop, Ro$$ still didn’t give up. He exuded confidence and egoism.

Once he stepped on to the stage, however, French knew he had more bangers than Ro$$ in the club.

The reality is that French Montana knew how to formulate songs designated for the night spots where women get in free until one in the morning. French is a part of Coke Boyz so he inserts drug culture in his music as well. But Ro$$ is just the better lyricist when it comes to hustling that ‘caine.

What Montana does is talk about drugs but he knew there was a way to make music for party people while Ro$$ carries more weight (no pun intended) in serious songs for cleaning the house or making a sweet serenade with your woman.

That’s the kind of music that came to life only partially. When French got to “I Ain’t Worry about Nothin’” it looked like Ro$$ planted his back against the ropes.

This entire event drew upon the music being the court and the field and pitch and ice. The competitiveness seemed to be super friendly without being cloying. They tossed back and forth the music tennis ball and showed that men of color can be amicable without rancor.

With the amount of time they had to ensure each man could bring their rhymes to the forefront, they saw to it that they had a better grasp at the moment of their time relating to the streets, the women, the life.

French brought his powers to the VERZUZ with prowess and impressive fire. He makes for a case that Coke Boyz was a worthy contender.

It just took a bit of time for the rappers to bring together their lyrics, they had the ability to register on the screen as two titans of the microphone. Ro$$ let off his best songs for the banger crew but still fell short of his own standing even though he was voted as the fiftieth best rapper in history according to Billboard magazine.

In all, French won the VERZUZ but Ro$$ won the culture.
