:ufdup: I don't know what you're talking about b. I guess you forgot that Canibus and his record label promoted the HELL out of 2KO. They did a video and they were PAYING radio stations to play it. Ripper Strikes Back, on the other hand, was released on a bonus Survival of the Illest cd.

YES.

for some reason, people don't seem to understand this.

2KO wasn't just a diss track. it was also the lead single. big difference.

ll murdered canibus,...

canibus set himself up to lose, when he continually disrespected legends.
plus, he put out 2nd round ko as a accapella before hand.
that ll also,..says in the song that pine boxed't canibus.
plus, canibus wa humanized when redman killed him with the lo mein freestyle.
which showed he was not invincible as many had thought.
canibus was not focused enough, bar to bar to beat ll, and also...
his clarity and convinceability which were nonexistent also failed him as well.

I changed my mind about this plenty of times, but I gotta go with Canibus
a lot of LL's disses were corny, the hook was cornier, only thing better than Canibus was the beat, and LL's song was way too long
thats why he had lots of filler

his best line wasn't even about canibus it was about wyclef
"I'm a rapper slash icon tell wyclef don't even the fukking mic on"

the 99 percent of his fan don't exists was aight to me, sounds like some play ground shyt, when Canibus brought something that always
plagued LL's career

that whole sequence with the farrakahn line was like some never before heard type rapping, shyt was pretty harsh

Canibus killed his own career by making shytty albums, his first album was called disappointment, but looking back its the best shyt he made

after his second album I don't know what happened to this guy, never before has somebody turned into hot garbage in such a drastic way

real talk....

it is one of his wackest actually.
as nikkaz we roll with, is his best song that predated it on white label.
canibus lost because he did not really bring it, in the venue where he should have.
which was battling, and 2nd round knockout already had reviews split in the middle when he unveiled it prematurely, before the singles release.

ll did go in surprisingly but most his shots his relevant shots were just twisting what canibus had said already instead of coming up with his own shyt.

and 2nd round ko was just raw as fukk lyrics wise, beat-wise, the video with mike tyson. that shyt was hard as fukk.

but overall longterm both these nikkas is corny to me. ll stayed being a lip licking cornball and canibus turned into some weirdo that fukked up his own career. ll obviously faired better but still a cornball.
