Raekwon and Ghostface Killah clashed in a Wu-Tang family showdown on Saturday night (March 20) in VERZUZ. See the detailed breakdown below.
During their stay together, the two remembered a trip they made together to Barbados. RZA stopped to greet at one point, as Young Dirty Bastard, the son of Wu-Tang’s late partner, Ol ‘Dirty Bastard. RZA returned later to bring a toast near the end of the show. Cappadonna appeared to perform her verse as a guest on Raekwon’s “Ice Cream,” and Masta Killa stepped up the role for “Glaciers of Ice.” Ghostface Killah joined a round with Raekwon, performing “Criminology” since his 1995 solo debut Only 4 Cuban Lynx are built …
After the “break”, Raekwon declared that he was drunk and that he was restarting the proceedings without waiting for Ghostface Killah to return from his break. Inspectah Deck then joined him for “CREAM” of the Wu-Tang clan, and Ghostface returned to the set with an ankle-length white mink coat. In the 19th round, Raekwon started with “Freek’n You (Mr. Dalvin’s Freek Mix)” by Jodeci, which Ghostface finished in turn.
VERZUZ returned for its second season late last year, with a “Legends of the Bay” showdown between Too $ hort and E-40 in December and a twice-rescheduled battle between Ashanti and Keyshia Cole. D’Angelo rocked the format in February with a solo appearance at the Apollo Theater, with Redman, Method man and HER accompanying him as guests. Earlier this month, founders Timbaland and Swizz Beats announced that they had sold VERZUZ to the Triller short video app, and previous VERZUZ performers became interested in the new setup.
