So 10 years later, who do you think won that battle? Purely based off of the songs.

Canibus absolutley destroyed him

2nd Round KO...murdered him

[Lord Mecca]

Canibus ate his plate... truth be told this beef shows the true strength of stannery and its impact on rappers careers

[Tetris v2.0]

I dont know how someone can listen to Ripper Strikes Back and not think L murked him. He basically predicted his whole future.

Yeah but then he had eminem write "back where i belong" which makes L lose by default. LL hasn't been relevant since this battle anyway.

[DipSet_No Homo]

wow@ it being 10 yrs

I feel old

[Aje]

[Street Novelist]

Canibus obsessive nature prevents him from winning battles. He comes from a stan perspective when battling. Which is why he lost to LL and was dismissed by Eminem. He dissed Beanie Sigel too and I doubt Beans even heard the record.

I'll peep when I get home.

Speculations

and Bis hasnt been relevant since...ever

[Gentility]

where'd the rumor come from that Back Where I Belong was ghost written by Eminem?

who cares its a garbage verse anyway

LL lost

I think it was actually Ripper Strikes Back that he was accused of writing. Clef and Bis approached him on the set of some videoshoot and he denied it. And then he had the "I'll respond back with a battle rap I wrote for Canibus" line in Role Model.

[Ron O'Neil]

i was huge LL fan back in the day but if you say he won this battle you are either deaf or a huge LL stan. 2nd round KO hurt LL and that garbage that he came back with couldnt touch it. and for all you saying that LL ruined bis's career your wrong. wyclef ruined his career by putting out that awful album. even after LL released that terrible dis, bis still had buzz. it wasnt till everyone heard his album that people started to give up on him.

[Bones08]

Canibus....

[Krasnyi Armyi]

Canibus won the battle, but it resurrected LL's career.
Canibus crushed him on 2nd round KO, but LL pproved he wasn't washed up when he put out the ripper strikes back
Forty-nine pounds, and tryin to be a mobster
Run around town with the Bob Marley imposter
Ask Canibus, he ain't understandin this
Cause 99 percent of his fans don't exist
I'm goin underground and blowin your rep down
Next time save that **** for the Lyricist Lounge
Or a house party, where you can battle some clown
On top of all that, I'll beat your homeless ass down
Heard that convicted rapist on the record too
Fresh out of jail, ass cheeks still black and blue
Tell me bout the things Ear Biter taught you
How to bust a nut or two
(Yeah, that's butta boo)

:ohmy:

LL was a beast on that

[Iceberg-Slim]

lol @ Canibus winning the poll. I swear only on SOHH is Canibus seen as the winner. LL MERKED that nicca. Point blank. Every real hip hop head knows that.

I ain't gonna lie 2nd Round Knockout was dope, but LL absolutely DEADED HIM with Ripper Strikes Back and Where I Belong just closed the casket.

"Don't ever open your mouth and mention my seed
Talking about my book YOU bought to read"

"49 pounds and tryin' to be a monster
Runnin' around town wit that Bob Marley imposter
Ask Canibus, he ain't understandin' this
'Cause 99% of his fans don't exist"

"Career be over next year, yeah I said it
Look over your shoulder nicca, that's where ya headed"

"Diss my moms, who's the real Rap Don ?
Who ruled for fifteen years and drops bombs?
Who's got solid gold Grammy's that say Todd
While you dropped verses at niccas proms"

"Devour they titles cuz I'm an idol slash icon
And tell Wyclef, don't even turn his fuccin mic on" :laugh:

"I could've told the world the way ya label hates ya guts
And how me and Wyclef got together to set you up
And how he gave me half your budget, don't believe me look it up
Ya A&R promotion niccas, they helped me hook it up
I hate to be responsible, for destroying your career
A one-hit wonder, huh, no wonder you disappeared
I coulda told the world you get your lyrics from the internet
Then spit 'em word for word like you really a rap vet
How you take metaphors from books and put 'em in your rhyme
And how you really from Canada and you been frontin' all this time
I heard your second album, that shiit is garbage too
LL Cool J and I did this to you"

:ohmy:

Aside from 2nd Round KO, what great lines did Canibus spit at LL?

"You turned a fan into Stan" :weirdo:
"You ain't got the skills to eat a niccas ass like me" :gag:
"I smeared his career like doo-doo in a diaper" :huh:
"You're being watched, even when you take a dump" (WTF??)
"You should change your name to G.L.O.A.T. - the greatest liar of all-time" :blink:

^^Y'all really think this dude won the battle with them weak-ass lines? How you gonna call yourself a stan? Pathetic. Only on SOHH, smh.

[5 Grand]

Yeah, Canibus didn't really have anything to diss LL about. I mean, dude had been in the game for 15 years and was still going strong. If you listen to Rip the Jacker, its all lies and fluff.

Rip the Jacker was stupid.

The stuff that LL said was real.

[TDUBB]

wasnt there a recorded phone conversation in which Canibus CALLED LL and apologized saying he admired dudes career??

CANIBUS LOST.

[Swagger]

ll lost

I thought the same thing when this battle went down . But when I listen now, LL won. He destroyed Bis in his song. I jus enjoy his song better than Bis NOW. Back then I def though Bis won.

he buried canibus in that last verse from "where i belong"...

Didn't really like that track. Once the two major diss records were released I was done with that battle. 4321 LL killed Canibus. Ripper strikes back was nail in the coffin.

2nd rd KO should never be overlooked as a dope diss record. The track fitt canibus style to a T. Dope rhymes. Wish he would've came @ Em with that same intensity.
