Posted by As Verzuz continues to evolve as a staggering platform for artists to educate fans to their catalogs, Swizz Beatz is already looking towards his “holy grail” matchup.
During an interview with ESPN’s Jalen And Jacoby on Friday (January 22), the Ruff Ryder producer revealed he wanted to pit two of Hip Hop’s biggest late legends against one another.
“My dream one, I want to figure out how to do Pac and Biggie in a way that the people is gonna really love it,” Swizz said, much to Jalen Rose’s excitement.
Timbaland countered, “I got a couple ideas. I’ma text you! I’ma call you later! Oh, but not even that, we gotta go Prince and Michael Jackson!”
