SWIZZ IS A BEAST but TIMBALAND is on another level.

[@reseecupz1643]

Hot97 giving this battle to Swizz is like a detective investigating his son for murder. 😂 He’s gonna get off. Bias Bias Bias...Timberland won no landslide but Timb won.

[@datdudetankd]

Timbo won this and it wasn't close

[@codingstudent357]

Yall crazy bro. You did not give Pony a point????? Timbaland won this verzuz battle he too great and too versatile.

[@TalentedKamarty]

I think Swizz woulda got it either way. There's some Swizz ones that shoulda won that didn't so it would've been worse for Tim had it went my way lol unless we going off of "what was the bigger hit" then Tim got it

How Pony didn’t win the round ? Man throw the whole battle review away. Pony still gets the party jumping

[@JayRockLA]

Nuts, I used to keep ultralight beam on repeat but Pony is an 90s r&b classic. They just needed swizz to get some extra points

[@tommyknight4212]

This just show you it's not about the music it's clear by the crowd Pony won. Ultralight beam didn't move NOBODY in the crowd lol Swizz got his ass tore up with all that name dropping

@@Veon_Ray i heard all that, i understood the context. My statement was made with the context in mind... Ebro had to remind Rosenberg that WHITE people started saying it after the song, and Rosenberg agreed. HOWEVER when Rosenberg originally made the comment he said it as if people in general started saying it after the song. Rosenberg centered white people in his statement.

@@Veon_Ray NO, Ebro had to remind him that the use of the term "mainstream" was centering whiteness. Rosenberg didnt use the term mainstream with even the slightest bit of sarcasm, he actually centered whiteness as the standard and didnt realize it...
