Nelly and Ludacris’ #VERZUZ battle was fire from start to finish, with jam after jam taking us back to the early 2000s. But one moment had the entire audience of over 400,000 absolutely lit: when Luda played his verse on Ciara’s 2004 hit “Oh.”
The song reminded many people of CiCi’s influence on hip hop, and Twitter rushed to give her her flowers. While VERZUZ battles tend not to declare winners, this time, it was clearly Ciara who walked away with the crown.
Ciara killed her whole era. I wanted to be her so bad.

I think Ciara’s “Oh” had every little black girl in front of their tv watching 106&Park or BET Jams making up routines with their cousins lmao

I really do hope one day we all thank Ciara for what she brought to the 2000s. She had me wanting to be from ATL soooo bad & she still continues to mind her business

The early 2000s was a special time. Jagged Edge. Nelly. Luda. Ciara. Ashanti. The list goes on. In the words of our mamas and aunties:
“These kids don’t know NOTHING ’bout this!”
