Bu..bu..but I do know about Keith Murray and the LOD and ONYX. Does that mean I know my history too?
Canibus did not need to be in a rap battle in 2012 A.D. and he proved it by choking horribly like 1 minute into his round and starting his round off with those look like tom cruise moms shoes soaked in wanton soup.
Battle rap is constantly evolving, we're talking a dude whose prime was in the late 90's getting a huge payday while being washed up for something he used to do 15-16 years ago. We passed that era of just needing to have more raps then the other person. He looked lost out there halfway through round one.
See... a big disconnect nowadays is that because older people can say they did everything before it could be caught on tape so you assume if its not on tape its could have happened, all we really have is co-signs from that era. I mean we've heard people co-sign canibus battling people before the deal, hell the wu-tang said he battled almost all of them in one sitting.
Where's cassidys co-signs?

Funny how he was battling like 20 nikkas a day but couldn't fit any of the known philly spitters who called him out or mook into that busy schedule
Like... you are big upping dudes that we've never seen battle tested, but you imply that a dude thats supposedly battling everyday, supposedly several times a day, gets credit. Why? Cause we should just take his word for it cause there were no cameras in 2000?.....wait a minute there were cameras when cassidy was supposedly "doing it"
Shieeeeeeeeeeet. Washed up rappers out here "rainmaking" like clay davis
Now I'ma leave you with a Canibus quote, cause I think its only fitting. He might of been talking to you when he wrote it...
"My only grievance is I'll never be the same again, NEVER BE ABLE TO RHYME LIKE IT WAS '98 AGAIN, I'm so ashamed I'm depressed I don't know what I should say to them..." - Bis
I own every canibus album and have met him more than once soooo yeah.
