The internet was not kind when this latest Verzuz battle was announced. Rick Ross vs 2 Chainz doesn’t seem like a great battle on paper and letting social media tell it, it wasn’t a great battle live either.
Rick Ross is something like a Hip-Hop legend, with 10 solo albums, 3 albums under the Maybach Music Group umbrella and several mixtapes that could have been albums themselves. 2 Chainz has 1 quality solo album out of 4 solo album releases. He released 2 albums as a member of Playaz Circle, but that really only left fans with one hit single. He has a number of collaboration projects including a joint album with Lil Wayne, in addition to a number of mixtapes and EPs. But its no denying that 2 Chainz seems like an underwhelming challenger to someone of the caliber or Rick Ross. So the battle really came down to how many features could 2 Chainz surprise fans with and would they be enough to stun Rick Ross.
