The relationship between Fabolous and Jadakiss may be the closest of any Verzuz participants yet. As preternaturally talented New York MCs who first made their names in the post-Notorious B.I.G. era, the two have managed—near miraculously—to avoid the kind of professional squabbles that put so many fanbases at odds throughout the aughts. After they guested on each other’s mixtape cuts for years, 2017 saw them release their long-rumoured, much-anticipated joint project Friday on Elm Street (both should feel entitled, if not encouraged, to play the project’s “F vs. J Intro”). But their Verzuz face-off is hardly the first time they’ve squared off. A great many unofficial mixtapes and playlists have featured their cuts stacked up against each other in service of an even greater number of barbershop arguments about who had the biggest impact on New York—and no less importantly, hip-hop at large. With still-flourishing careers that already span four decades, there’s almost too much to choose from for a 20-song event. But you can reacquaint yourself with the highlights on the official Fabolous and Jadakiss Cheat Sheet playlist, as curated by Apple Music host Lowkey.
