If you've been living under a rock, legendary hip-hop music producers Swizz Beatz and Timbaland have been scouting the greatest artists of all time to come together for live battles on their Verzuz Instagram series every weekend.
On Saturday, it was Ludacris and Nelly's turn to play 20 of their biggest hits back-to-back, and to say that people were excited for the early-2000s nostalgia would be an understatement:
People brought out their jerseys and headbands like it was 2002 all over again:
Laying out my outfit for the Nelly vs Ludacris Verzuz battle. I used to have soooooo many throwback jerseys and Air Force 1s. This is all that’s left. Lol
Jersey dresses were popular once again:
