Complex Presents Verzuz: Carl Thomas vs. Case | Apple Music
Two of the smoothest voices in 2000s R&B came to the VERZUZ stage. Carl Thomas and Case went hit for hit at Apple Music Studios in LA on October 23rd. Aurora, Illinois’s Carl Thomas, Bad Boy’s heartbreak specialist, had a generation in their feelings with “I Wish,” “Emotional,” and “Summer Rain.” Meanwhile, New York’s Case, the romantic behind some of the era’s biggest wedding-playlist staples, brought the love songs with “Happily Ever After” and “Missing You.” 0:00 Intro 1:05 Carl Thomas & Case Take the Stage 1:37 Coin Flip 2:10 The Battle Begins 10:58 Written by Nate from Boyz II Men 14:27 The Dru Hill “Beauty” Story 23:08 Faded Pictures (Shout Out to Joe) 27:40 Summer Rain 35:02 Lovely 36:37 The Biggie Detention Story 39:20 A Song for His Daughter Sky 50:10 Happily Ever After 55:03 For Mike City 59:30 The Project Kid Story 1:03:25 The Sisqó “Unleash the Dragon” Story 1:07:16 Emotional 1:15:06 I Wish 1:19:25 Missing You 1:24:10 Too Short & Closing Subscribe to Complex on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Complex?sub_confirmation=1 #complex Check out more of Complex here: http://www.complex.com http://instagram.com/complex https://www.tiktok.com/@complex https://twitter.com/Complex https://www.facebook.com/complex COMPLEX is a community of creators and curators, armed with the Internet, committed to surfacing and sharing the voices and conversations that define our new America.
