Is Second Round K.O the most self-inflicted diss track ever?

[Tommy Gibbs]

Breh, that notion just about killed BDK’s career. Even coming into the 2000’s it was a major hinderance in Ja Rule’s beef with 50. The game did eventually change but it was always that nikkas had to rock with what you were doing first, then women and white folks

Big Daddy Kane didn't have CBS and later Universal behind him. He had Warner Brothers, but he didn't have a goddamn clue to run a record label. Look at what they did with Prince after Purple Rain? He still made great music, but never sniffed anything near that success again in an album. Polygram bought Def Jam and Universal was over that. It's crazy because Canibus was signed to Universal so instead of supporting both, they decided to bury his career and support LL in their battle. Both Cube and NWA were under priority during their beef. They were smart enough to know that they can make money by promoting BOTH artists instead of burying one for the other. NWA disbanded because Eazy let that euro joo break up the crew.

youre naming established juggernauts with NWA & Cube.

Cannibus was getting major press & big hype that spring when the battle was on. but by the summertime, when the battle settled down, his buzz fizzled. his 2nd single fell flat and the album got bad reviews.

Having a sitcom and female fans was considered a bad thing at the time. Plus 99% of your fans wear high heels was brilliant.

Do you know what the word brilliant means?

not true at all. Canibus only had 1 single from the album and that was 2nd round ko. He had no other singles. "nikkanometry" was a video release that Universal sent out as a promo(i contacted the label and got a copy) but it was never released as a single or in rotation on tv from what I saw. I honor u was on Rap City, but never really released as a single. Around that time, he had the single "how come" from the Bullworth soundtrack and also had a video from that too. Plus his album dropped in September of 98 and he had all of the buzz still going while selling over 100k the first week.

2nd Round KO still gets played tho.

Bis' problem was that he had no hits. I'd say he's never had a hit of his own.

Except for 2nd Round KO.

A lot of rap disses are like that. Especially when someone is beefing a bigger star. For example, look at Jadakiss ''Checkmate'':



You made history! 1.1 million in a short week! (laughs)
I ain't mad, I don't wanna sound mad, I feel marvelous
Translation:



I might never sell that much
Translation:




Yeah, you got a felony, but you ain't a predicate
Translation: I know you're thorough..but you aint been back in the bing (lmao). SN: Has Jada even done a bid


Never the King of New York, you live in Connecticut
You don't be in the hood, you be in the woods
Translation: You live in a mansion with lots of space. You're not cooped up in an NYC project apartment like the rest of us.




You should just sell clothes and sneakers
Translation: Goddamn that G unit clothing is making you mad money



You had to get shot 9 times to be rich
Translation: How the fukk did you make so much money

You guys weren't watching In the House back then?

No wonder the last season was only five episodes and aired in the dead of summer at two in the afternoon over the course of a week.

Mike Tyson > canibus on this joint also ...

"You don't want no bytch-ass nikkas hanging out with me."

Why would Canibus care about that?

 

[mobbinfms]

Do you know what the word brilliant means?

Yes. Do you think I misused it?

 

[get these nets]

TThis is funny, but nah.
What made it so harsh is because he spoke the truth. LL was rich, and a superstar.

Was Canibus supposed to make "you're broke" "nobody knows who you are" bars towards LL ?

It seems you forgot what a hardcore artist is.

 

[Mike the Executioner]

It seems you forgot what a hardcore artist is.

I probably thought that because it's been a minute since you posted that, you'd forget it.

 

[maxamusa]

yea track was hard but LL just had 2 much clout....

Dollaz n Sense by QUIK is 1 of my favorite hip-hop records period. But the gay disses are ridiculous. Dre and snoop were on that 2 with Dre Day. It really takes away from the records like y

Mike Tyson in the intro: “Bust that nikka hole, man”

I didn’t know this was the only single

Not sure what else coulda been a single off there but Buckingham Palace was my favorite song on there and woulda been a decent single especially for that time frame
