Diss Of The Day: Canibus - 2nd Round Knockout


Battling and diss tunes are very much part of the competitive nature of HipHop. Nowadays this gets mixed up with the term 'beef', but the reality is this is a way for MC's to compete with each other. Hip-Hop Junkie has decided to take you through some of the best diss tunes and we start of with then rookie Canibus goin at LL Cool J. 


This Battle originated when LL took offence to Canibus original verse on his track 4,3,2,1. He raps ' is that a Mic on your arm, let me borrow that'. LL caught feelings, and insisted he change his verse. However even after changing it, Canibus was taken of the official version which also included a few jabs at him from LL. Canibus retaliated with this ferocious joint which pokes fun at LL for only appealing to the ladies, being a inferior MC and lying about being a Drug free role model.
