20 Years ago, Canibus dropped 2nd Round KO on LL

[DaHNIC82]

Salute to these two for keeping it on wax. One of the best battles of all time

Canibus still won in my eyes

Canibus was the ultimate Cinderella story

#11 seed against a #1 and he delivered that raw uncut upset. But that's why we play the game brehs

 

[DrunkerThanAMotherfucker]

Also, Canibus is probably the most wasted talent in hip-hop history. Please go back and listen to how this dude floated on that beat. Before he went all lyrical miracle spiritual, Canibus was one of the most effortless mc's ever.

this was such a great era.....

what gets lost in all this was that it was fresh off the 4 3 2 1 video which was the introduction to dmx for a lot of folks which was ill....then canibus was just a freak of nature....

I also still have the dvd where canibus big pun john forte and some other rappers are at a restaurant table and at the end they all kick a freestyle and canibus was the last to go and he dropped the diss

overall in school there wasn't much debate canibus demolished LL


EDIT: Also his line "the greatest rapper of all time died on march 9th" gets recited by everyone every year on the anniversary of his death.....

Canibus never fell off, cats just stop listening. I enjoy the last 4 projects of his still to this day. He is still dropping shyt ahead of its time. The battle shyt shirt was more goofy exploitation by fans really. Alot of deflection and railroading that further messed up music. He lost and they paid him, so he said at least let me read you what I wrote...and they should have. If you played me 10k to lose I'm doing it everyday...at least let me give you some kind of show for the 10k... still baffled by the hip-hop clowns that didnt understand that concept. LL never recovered from 2nd round but canibus was just too ahead of his time....too isolated and on his own. I'm still finding unreleased songs of his that are some of the most incredible lyrical descriptions recorded. It's a shame what jealousy can do.

Still the goat diss imo

 

[Danie84]

99 percent of your fans wear high heels

Canibus still won in my eyes

Absolutely.

20 years ago

What viscous diss record...

 

[Ken Piffey Jr.]

Bought this single when it came out and had it on repeat. He played himself with that wack album and LL did drop that dope “99% of your fans don’t exist” response. It’s too bad he never had a proper mainstream follow-up.

 

[Ghost Utmost]

Bis is light years ahead of almost anybody lyrically

Hes the only rapper I have respect for on a scientific level.. KRS has said some shyt that made me think think but Bis has said 732 things that made me go hmmmm..

He dosent have many dope *songs* unfortunately. I like the rhymes but most viewers can't even understand what is being said. His beats are always a lil iffy

 

[UpAndComing]

Canibus won the battle, but lost the war

 

[SirBiatch]

And still lost.

Right. I'm not sure why people are still pretending like this makes for good hip hop. It never has. Bis always had trouble with beats but his beats got even shyttier when he got miracle and made music only white nerds check for.
