LL's reasons for starting this beef have always been dumb to me. All the man said was " let me borrow the Mic on your arm". He was just painting a picture. That shit wasn't a diss. I was glad Canibus went at LL for this dumb shit.
THAT WASN'T THE ONLY REASON LL AND CANIBUS HAD A TALK, AND HE WANTED TO GET THE SAME MIC LL ON HIS ARM AS LL, NOW REALLY, WHO WANTS SOMEONE ROCKING A TATTOO THE SAME OR EITHER SIMULAR TO ONE YOU JUST GOT, NOT ONLY THAT CANIBUS SAID A FEW SUBLIMINAL LINES IN HIS VERSE "I'LL SNATCH THE CROWN OFF WITH YOUR HEAD ATTACTHED TO IT, HE WAS REFERRING TO THE MIC TATTOO ON LL ARM, AND THE FACT LL SAID HE IS THE GOAT, SO THE CROWN.....IF YOU WATCH NORE DRINK CHAMPS WITH REDMAN THEY TALK ABOUT IT
@@VeegovonDOOM no reason, I actually do it because I want people to see my comment, most people type normal, so if mine is all caps 1most times it'll be read first so I know it was seen, I love to debate, until you run into the computer gangsta because you don't agree with them they wanna name call and swear they'll come 500 miles and beat my ass lol
I was a huge Canibus fan when he was doing his thing. And I'm here to tell you he has one of the best verses of all time. It's on The Firm album (Nas, Foxy Brown, AZ). The song is called Desperadoes. That's definitely worth a reaction.
Whenever the head is severed from the human body with a sharp enough weapon the brain remains conscious for 10 seconds, long enough for me to give you 1 last message and when you get to hell you can tell lucifer I said it 🔥
You on it man! LL did respond though. “The Ripper Strikes Back” was his response to this. The Common/Cube reference was because Cube (Westside Connection) dissed Common (the song is called westside slaughterhouse) for the “I Used to Love HER” joint and Common responded to Cube with “The B**ch in Yoo” So, that’s where Canibus got that from. But yeah, LL responded with Ripper Strikes Back. Then he responded again with “Back Where I Belong” and Canibus responded with “Rip The Jacker” and then they squashed it.
Can i bus out of entire albums dedicated to LL Cool J, too. I didn't know they ever squashed the beef, but I know it wasn't until mid-late 2000s. Almost a decade after it started, and it definitely destroyed Can-i-bus career
Canibus thought that Eminem wrote that song for LL. He and Wyclef kinda confronted Em about who wrote it thinking that it had Em's print on it, or that LL couldn't spit like that. Em says he didn't write it though.
Back in 97-98 on the radio waves here in NYC. Everyone on the radio said LL won but on the streets everybody knows Canibus bodied Mr. Smith. Only problem for Canibus is that LL is a Veteran of the game. So he will always have more commercial level loyalist.
streets? na son, in reality they BOTH went it.. and whats funny is that Canibus had the more commercial song (wyclefe on the beat, Tyson in the background?)..
I was a heavy LL kid in this era, but this was my sh*t. Everything about it was perfect including the video with mike tyson...took a page out the kool moe dee playbook iykyk...
L lost the “battle” but won the war, Money Mayweather style lol. Countered everything Canibus said and got the decision. The most memorable track from the whole situation is this, so Canibus definitely won the battle itself...
Ice CUbe took offense to Commons I Use to Love Her on the line about the boyz in the hood which sparked a back n forth between Cube and Common... Common killed Cube with a song called Th Bitch in You
When this track came out back in 97 I think it was, LL was universally considered the goat of hip hop. He was the one dude you didn’t fuck with on the mic. I remember rushing over to my cousin house to hear about this track everybody was talking about.
There's a video of Pun, Nore, DMX, and Canibus freestyling. Canibus starts rapping verses from this song. When he gets to the ass eating bar DMX busts out laughing at him 😂 😂 😂. Engrossing else tried to keep a straight face, but they were struggling after X started laughing
Honestly, it seems more like X just thought it was a hard line. Dudes didn't really think of the line like that back then, even with X, he's said plenty of things that's seen as "pause" worthy now, but in the day, we didn't even think of it that way.
@@RebelWithoutABoss this is absolutely false. New York dudes have been playing pause since the early 90s. They definitely were thinking like that. My immature teenage self was thinking like that back when 2nd Round KO came out, too lol
That one line is why I’ve never been able to bump that song loud in my car. I know how new yorkers mean it, but I can’t have nobody hearing me banging nothing like that, especially nowadays when dudes is really out here doing it and promoting it. Common and Ice Cube had a lil rap beef with each other at one time and Common mad a song called “The Bitch in you” directed at cube. That’s what he meant by that other line you asked about.
Yes!!! New Canibus fan. He's one of the best lyricists to ever be in the game. U should def check out Poet Laureate 2, Dr. C PhD, and Beast from the East.
Canibus is an amazing lyricist, from his technique, to the knowledgehe drops. You know how you talk about MC's studying the dictionary, in one of his earliest interviews, Canibus speaks on having to read to dictionary, as a punishment, when he was a kid. PLEASE consider these tracks. The C-quel Nigganometry Channel Zero And The Lost Boyz - Beasts From The East
The ice cube and common line was referring too ice cube and common beef West side connection dissed common on a track called "king of the hill" And common released a diss track too ice cube called " the bitch in you" "Like common and cube, I can see the bitch in you" - Canibus
LL has a history of subbing people on his own tracks with them on it. You should do a video on “I Shot Ya” there is a couple of different people on that song that take shots at other people on the same song.
Lmfaooooo at the "pause moment". I get why you had that response. Back then the common slang was "get in they/her/his ass"(cuss them out), Canibus took it a bit further with the word "eat". (Back then I found it a poor word choice as well, cause I never heard someone say it till this song, lmao.) But yo, Canibus didnt shoot a sub at LL in 4,3,2,1...his verse was more of a shout out to his admiration for LLs work. He said the verse was inspired by getting invited to do the verse, then seeing LL's (brand new at the time), mic tattoo when they were writing their bars in the studio. LL then heard the verse , overreacted to it (as said by meth and red) and rewrote it as a diss to Canibus and so began the end of Canibus's career. Ish was crazy to live through as it happened, cause Canibus was supposed to be the next top emcee...
"I'll eat his ass" is meant as "I'll eat him on the mic". No different than "I'd beat his ass". It was common slang in 90s NY, the difference is porn...now that its at everyone's finger tips, booty eating is on everyone's mind. Back then, no one even blinked an eye, LL didn't even flip that bar in his response
@@lyricsanonymous9036 idk fam, I listened to mad NYC hip hop from that era and canibus was the only I can recall using it. I know what it means, just never the way he flipped it, as I said above.
Cool J's response was hard and even though I was a Canibus fan LL went hard in his response... But he always did in his diss tracks. The "bitch in you" reference was Commons dis track which was a response to Cubes dis track with westside connection ....which was in response to commons "I used to love her" track where Cube felt Common dissed west coast hip hop.
I feel you , in your feeling about L’s comeback , but da big difference for me , canibus wrote his own lyrics and LL had a team of writers so L don’t get credit in my book !!
Yes, Common and Ice Cube had beef at one point. Cube's group, Westside Connection dropped the diss song "Westside Slaughter House" because they didn't like Common's "I used to Love her." Common responded to Cube with the song "The Bitch in Yoo". Very dope diss track!
Yeah youngin since you’re doing this you gotta do LL response to this The Ripper Strikes Back matter fact checkout the whole battle and make your decision on who won and checkout LL other major battle with Kool Moe Dee 💪🏾
And oh yeah, I think you missed the line where he said “Like Common and Cube, I see the bitch in you”. He’s referring to the diss track Common did on Cube that we were talking about when you reacted to ‘I Used to Love H.E.R.’. I’m sure you’ll react to that diss soon.
LL won this battle after “The Ripper Strikes Back” (Tunnel Banger 2). But Wycliffe had a response to that Record where he dissed LL called “What’s Cliffe Got to do With This” that was dope.
saying "i'll eat yo ass on the mic" was a thing in the 90's. We didn't bat an eyelid cos times were less fruity back then. Btw check out Canibus - Master Thesis, shit will blow ya mind.
🙏🏾. Keep reacting to this album. It was good to start with 2nd round k.o. after 4321 but this album has bangers. Ya that was a PAUSE moment bout eating aZz.
One of the best diss records ever. LL is an all time top tier rapper but idk how people say LL beat Canibus. Canibus lyrically destroyed him from start to finish.
Canibus won hands down...one song one kill....I love LL but he did bus dirty then tried to smooth it over and bus wasn't having it. All LL did in response was resay what canibus said already....this was one he should have ignored
You should react to Desperados on the firm album featuring canibus or beast from the east by Lost Boyz ft Redman and Canibus. Those Canibus features are 2 of the dopest features in hip hop history.
FAAAAACTS!!! And don't forget that freestyle he spit on the Ice Cream beat, and the freestyle he dropped on the Wake Up show I think, where he said, "One of a kind, I got divine chromosomes in me...my sperm will scramble the eggs in a woman's ovaries!" That line will forever be on the extremely short list of the best verses ever spit in all of Hip-Hop history. Even typing it, I got chills and flashbacks! 😂🔥🔥🔥
I still say LL won. This song shocked us all and blew us away but all LL had to do in response was show us he still got it. Canibus's career was never the same after his response and the dropping of his solo albums.
I have the opposite opinion, as does anyone who wants to be completely honest. NOTHING LL ever did lyrically compares to one verse on this diss, the alliterative skill he showed with the Farrakhan line. And I was a HUUUUUUGE LL fan at the time, as was my best friend. We were EXTREMELY disappointed in LL's response. All you ever see people quote from LL's response is the "99% of your fans don't exist" line, because that's literally the only memorable line from the song! ALL of 2ND Round Knockout is a quotable! "...the greatest rapper of all time died on March 9th!" C'mon bro! You don't EVER come back from a line like that after calling yourself the GOAT! This man belittled his own skills to make that point to LL. When would LL ever make such a sacrifice to prove a point? Never, too much ego. He should've humbled himself the same way Jay did after Nas hit him with that Ether. When Jay said he didn't expect Nas to come back like THAT, that's the moment he grew up to me. LL never did. Pride is a funny thing for some. 🙏🏽
Oh, this is a classic battle... But all this shit is long past now, squashed in 2014. Even LL gave a shout out to Canibus in his speech when he was inducted into the hall of fame.
LL did respond. Check all the diss tracks and judge for yourself. This was hard. The hardest anyone ever came at LL, up to this point. Also check out LL's diss track to Ice T and cool moe dee and MC Hammer. LL did at least 4-5 tracks in response.
THE BITCH IN YOU is a reference to a beef Common had with Ice Cube The main songs that were made in this beef are: Common "I used to love HER" WSC "Westside Slaughterhouse" Common "Tha Bitch In Yoo"
he didnt throw sublimonals, he was askin LL to borrow the mic cuz he looked up to LL...but LL wrote his whole verse goin at cammibus. methodan and redman speak on it on the beef dvd
I was having this conversation with Famly b4. There was a time in Hip Hop when "eat dat azz" meant I'll destroy you/eat you up ( ergo consume). THERE WERE NO LGBGZLQG....PARALLEL REFERENCES. Ijs
This song is top tier. His debut song & went straight for the 🐐. Nobody else in rap has bigger balls than Canibus. Dude is the man. Check out Buckingham Palace. That track is dope AF.💎🤙
The "Like Common and Cube I see the bitch in you" was a reference to Common and Ice Cube's beef at the time. Common and Ice Cube had a beef but they have since squashed it and are cool with each other.
Diss tracks to check(if you haven't already): "the bitch in you" - Common, "linda trip" - El-P of run the jewels, "no vaseline" - Ice Cube, "Shut the eff up hoe" - MC Lyte, "hit em up" - 2pac, "paper plate" - GZA, "ether" - Nas

"Borrow" means to steal in NY
He was ahead of his time lyrically
His freestyles...lord!!!
No. The time was ahead of his lyricism.
Next Canibus song you should react to is “100 Bars”.
I'm known geographically and intergalactically
That's why I got extraterrestrials that wanna battle me🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Desperados slapped something vicious
Few know about this. Respect
Probably my favorite verse from him
Highly recommend one of my favorite canibus tracks by far: Buckingham Palace. That last verse in particular is amazing
Original Unreleased Version with the female voice on the hook is incredible!!

@Pooz30 it was squashed kinda,they went on stage together but bis was uncomfortable for sure,and he didn't even use his original line which sucked ass

LL and Canibus have actually done shows together years later...
He mentioned Common and Cube because they had beef and " The Bitch In You" was the name of the diss track Common made against Cube,Mack 10 and Dub C
LL Cool J's response to this is called "Ripper Strikes Back".
Also, Common had a diss to Ice Cube called "Bitch in You"
This one of the best diss tracks ever & I'm grew up on L🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
4:44 is where some insane lyrical ability is shown it's nuts
I was having this conversation with Famly b4. There was a time in Hip Hop when "eat dat azz" meant I'll destroy you/eat you up ( ergo consume). THERE WERE NO LGBGZLQG....PARALLEL REFERENCES. Ijs
So glad you reacted to this
This song is top tier. His debut song & went straight for the 🐐. Nobody else in rap has bigger balls than Canibus. Dude is the man. Check out Buckingham Palace. That track is dope AF.💎🤙

Wyclef killed it when he made this beat! Listen to that choir, it's still one of my top beats!
You gotta listen to "The Ripper Strikes Back" next. That's LL Cool J's response to this
Also listen to RASTA IMPOSTA
Jack the Ripper was a cold response. "Ask Canibus he ain't understanding this, cause 99% of his fans don't exist"
Wasn't good enough
wack
"The Bitch in You" was a reply diss track from Common to Ice Cube
Illest Canibus verse is his on Beasts from the East. Imo.
Canibus murdered this track ~ DJ Clue 97 freestyle
CANIBUS HAS ALWAYS BEEN LYRICALLY NICE!!!! NOT TOO EMCEES CAN TOUCH HIM LYRICALLY. HE’S IN MY TOP TEN LIST NO MATTER WHAT..
I also thought that, until I heard Krino.
I'm telling you, Poet Laureate 2 if you're going to more Canibus. You won't regret.
Facts
Yes do the Ripper strikes back
The "Like Common and Cube I see the bitch in you" was a reference to Common and Ice Cube's beef at the time. Common and Ice Cube had a beef but they have since squashed it and are cool with each other.
Canibus- Dead by design
Canibus- Only slaves dream
Mike Tyson is in the intro and was actually in the music video as well for this
me in 2000's "YEAH HE'D EAT YOU ALIVE!" me now: wait... that dont sound right 😂
Diss tracks to check(if you haven't already): "the bitch in you" - Common, "linda trip" - El-P of run the jewels, "no vaseline" - Ice Cube, "Shut the eff up hoe" - MC Lyte, "hit em up" - 2pac, "paper plate" - GZA, "ether" - Nas
I remember when I first heard this, had me spazin🔥🔥🔥
Beasts From the East - Lost Boyz featuring Canibus, A+ and Redman.
Canibus poet laureate is maybe his greatest song
FINALLY !!...🐐
4:06 what did i just hear 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Wyclef on the production!
Commons song against Cube was I see the Bitch in you. He was basically using the same diss against LL
The LL Canibus beef was also what started the GREATEST OF ALL TIME debate, and what drove LL to call his next album GOAT
Canibus is the lyrical version of German engineering.....check out his 97 mentality free style
The response from LL was ~ Ripper Strikes Back
LL came back with “The Ripper Strikes Back”….
Ended Canibus’ career in the spotlight.
BS
When mike Tyson calls you the champ, you know the height you stand at.
More Canibus Freestyles Please 🙏🏽(Earlier Days)
