Jeezy’s “Trap Star”įinally, an unstoppable Gucci Mane hit! After dancing around his bigger singles for most of the battle, dropping “Wasted” was likely going to wipe out whichever Jeezy track it was pitted against, and although “Trap Star” received a rousing intro speech, this was an easy victory for Guwop. “Photoshoot” and “Everything” were appropriate tracks to play for the respective points, but the latter, a killer cut from Jeezy’s The Recession, proved the stronger rebuttal. The round began with Gucci Mane bragging about having the superior outfit for the evening’s battle - a claim met with Jeezy boasting about the amount of Atlanta real estate he currently owns. Still, Guwop had the superior song here, which was enough to overcome Jeezy’s stage show. Jeezy finally ditched the fur and sounded ferocious while throwing it back to Thug Motivation 101, overcoming Gucci Mane’s post-prison anthem “First Day Out” with sheer willpower. Round 15: Gucci Mane’s “First Day Out” vs.
“Way Too Gone” isn’t the strongest track on the underrated 103, so Gucci eked out the win on this one. Gucci continued to throw it back with the early mixtape cut, while Jeezy continued moving forward with a Future-featuring track from TM103. Radric Davis cut “Heavy.” What could have been a decisive win in the round for Gucci slipped away and resulted in a tie. “I had to take my motherf–king coat off!” Gucci declared at the end of Round 13, as Jeezy’s “Lose My Mind” proved a formidable response to the still-awesome State vs. “Let’s Get It/Sky’s The Limit” is a stone-cold classic, and thoroughly overpowered Gucci’s “That’s My Hood” in the round. “The earth is my turf,” Jeezy sneered before standing up and letting another TM101 gem blare behind him. Round 8: Gucci Mane’s “That’s My Hood” vs. Jeezy countering with a cut from his 2005 album with his group Boyz N Da Hood was inventive, but not a potent-enough response. This was the “MAKE A NEW HIT!”/“GET SOME CLASSICS THEN!” round, which opened with Gucci taking a pretty hard shot at Jeezy, claiming that his opponent doesn’t have any current smashes before dropping his hit pop collaboration with Bruno Mars and Kodak Black. Bruno Mars & Kodak Black’s “Wake Up in the Sky” vs. “Vette Ride Past” was solid, but lacked the urgency that Gucci needed to win the round.
Here’s where Jeezy’s enthusiasm really picked itself up, with an extended intro speech prior to “Jeezy the Snowman” after another bit of buried treasure from his opponent. “Bottom of the Map” is solid TM101 fodder for Jeezy, but Gucci’s “I’m a Dog” matched it well enough. Jeezy’s “Bottom of the Map”ĭeep-cut territory for both artists here, with neither seeing an opportunity to pounce and score an easy victory in the fifth round. With Jeezy dropping yet another TM101 track, Gucci Mane had the more creative selection here with the Trap Back anthem “Plain Jane” - and with Jeezy staying seated for this round, Guwop took over the energy of the battle. “I came out the box like a motherf–king wrecking ball,” Jeezy declared before dropping another Thug Motivation 101 standout, “Standing Ovation,” which was yet another instance of the “classic s–t” Jeezy kept crowing about and enough to overpower Gucci’s “I Think I Love Her.” Gucci kept the energy high with the equally disrespectful “Benchwarmers,” but Jeezy wisely unfurled a track with a much higher pedigree: the Thug Motivation 101 bone-crusher “Trap or Die.” Great counterpunch from The Snowman.
Gucci Mane provoked a ton of “OMG’s,” “LMAO’s” and “NO WAY’s” in the Instagram comments by kicking off the battle with the infamous Jeezy diss track “Round 1,” rapping at his opponent and having Jeezy eventually admit, “I get it, I get it though.” While Jeezy’s Trap or Die intro was rightly hailed as “legendary,” it wasn’t gasp-inducing in the same way. While both rap vets brought their A-games, here’s how Billboard broke down the round-by-round battle - with our overall winner declared at the bottom.

Stacey Abrams appeared via TV screen at the event (held at legendary Atlanta strip club Magic City) to introduce “the battle to end all battles” - which prompted Gucci Mane to ask if the politician could wipe his criminal history clean. Originally scheduled to be a contest between Jeezy and T.I., the battle between The Snowman and La Flare was the first Verzuz match-up since Gladys Knight and Patti LaBelle concluded the first season in September.
