The LOX vs. Dipset – 黒人音楽の研究室（とりわけHip-Hop，なかでもカニエ・ウェストとジェイＺ周辺について）

2021年最高のHIP-HOPモーメントとして，BEST10を第10位からカウントダウンして参りましたが，いよいよ第2位の発表となりました。

2021年最高のHIP-HOPモーメントはマチガイ無く，“The LOX vs. DipSet”のVerzuz対決でした。

いずれも甲乙をつけ難い対決なのですが，ＮＹラップを好むあなた（かどうかは私は知りませんが）ＮＹラップを好きな人であれば，The LOX（＝Jadakiss, Styles P, Sheek Louch）もDipset（＝Cam’ron, Juelz Santana, Jim Jones, Freekey Zekey）もいずれも聴き込んだことでしょう。

その２つのグループ対決なのですから，おもしろくならないわけがない。
