IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Xscape & SWV Showed Up & Show Out for Their Verzuz Battle & It is Pleasing Me & My Aunties

I don’t know about y’all, but I was more than happy to kick off my shoes, relax my feet, and party on down to the Verzuz beats last night.

SWV and Xscape’s highly anticipated Verzuz matchup went down Saturday night for the series’ Mother’s Day Weekend episode. This marked the second in the series since VERZUZ’s new partnership with Triller, following the Method Man vs. Redman showdown.

Just like some of the previous competitions, this one was too more about celebration of their discographies rather than a battle. To set the mood right from the start, Xscape performed Clark Sisters’ ‘Is My Living In Vain’ to show gratitude for their careers so far. SWV followed with ‘Endow Me’, another Clark Sisters classic that they have covered in the past.

The ladies of Xscape, Kandi Burruss, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, LaTocha Scott, and Tamika Scott understood the assignment from the very beginning coming strong as they performed songs like ‘Feels So Good’, ‘The Arms of the One Who Loves You’, ‘Keep On Keepin On’ (with MC Lyte), Just Kickin It’, ‘My Little Secret’, ‘Love On My Mind’, ‘Understanding’ and more. (Including a big old flex performing classics Kandi and Tiny have penned for other girl groups like Destiny’s Child’s “Bills, Bills, Bills” and TLC’s “No Scrubs)

SWV’s Coko, Taj and Lelee had a slow start but eventually joined the party as they countered it with their R&B group and solo hits like ‘Downtown, ‘When You Cry’, ‘Can We’ (with Missy Elliott), ‘All Night Long’, ‘Someone’ (with Puff Daddy), ‘You’re The One’, ‘Rain’, ‘Weak’ and others.

Jermaine Dupri, who discovered Xscape and signed the ladies as the first act to his record label So So Def, made a special cameo. The Atlanta legend joined the ladies to help perform their debut single ‘Just Kickin’ It‘. “We appreciate JD for looking past what we looked like at the time and believing in us,” Tamika said.

In case you missed the live stream, you can watch the full SWV vs. Xscape VERZUZ below along with some of our fav highlights. How did you feel about last night’s battle?
