Juicy J still wants his opportunity to doa "Verzuz" and says his career speaks for itself.

Three 6 Mafia's Juicy J remains one of the hottest rap producers in the game, but every time he mentions that he wants to do a Verzuz, it becomes a social media debate. Juicy J closed out the month of June by stating that he was ready to do a Verzuz and he wanted to go up against Aftermath legend Dr. Dre. The West Coast icon didn't answer the call, but the challenge itself caused a heated conversation where fans compared catalogs.

Juicy J returned today (July 27) to reignite the discourse about his career as he tweeted that he'd like to go up against Nas. Since that tweet was sent, Juicy J has remained a trending topic on Twitter. HipHopDX shared the tweet and an Instagram user commented that J isn't "even on that level lyrically." The Memphis rapper took a moment to respond.

"I got plenty hits tho & my production game is sick & still relevant as of today & I won a Oscar all facts I got what it takes my guy I will battle anybody & win." Verzuz was launched with a spirit of competition, but it's shifted to being more of a celebration of two artists rather than a battle of who has better hits. Still, Juicy J is up for the challenge.
