Lol……this article is very one sided. Just saying ll murdered bis on 4 3 2 1 and calling the ripper strikes back vicious loses you all creditablity as a hip hop critic. Truthlly if anyone sold out it was ll. Dissing hammer because of him being mainstream was exactly the same shit ll did. And just because your albums dont sell dont mean you are not a dope mc. Suits have dictates the market since the corporate takeover of hip hop. Im sure your next article will be on how waka flocka is the greatesy mc ever

This article is bullshit by the way, extremely biased toward LL, and the last facts here are wrong, they make Canibus look like a bad rapper, u gotta be dumbass if u think canibus is a bad rapper. ESPECIALLY if u think LL is a better rapper than Canibus.
Let LL be remembered for the decades but Canibus´impact will last as long as human knowledge has appreciation for art.

Canibus kill ll all day everyday
its true his productions werent that good, but thats mostly producers fault not his lyrics, Canibus would openly critisize his producer, Wyclef was the first, but still he always wanted to keep himself real and underground, not really caring about some catchy tune.
And for the guy that said canibus wanted to appeal to mainstream but failed, thats bullshit, if u get ur sources right, he made that album as a satire to mainstream, he basically did it for fun, wether he had mainstream success or not didnt matter to him.

@Yadi Supreme – I agree with you 100% Canibus is an amazing lyricist, but after his multiple lackluster album releases, it’s hard to defend his ear for beats, and putting together tracks in general. At the same time, I think LL gained a lot more respect from the underground. He was already more successful at the time, and had more to lose than Canibus by battling publicly like that. Usually bigger artists don’t battle smaller fish, because there’s not as much to gain. In this case, it really ended up helping both artists. The only thing that really killed Canibus’ potential for success were the beats he picked out on all the albums which mattered.

The Canibus LL Battle was an innocent clash between two people.
Canibus was a young emcee acting like a young cat, LL was a grown up
with lots of industry experience on his back.
The battle made Canibus hot. Problem was, Canibus didn’t like the studio
and would rather write rhymes than pick beats.
His freestyles sound amazing over industry beats at the time, because those beats are official. His album production is not as good.
I love both emcees styles and look up to them as artists, but I still
feel LL didn’t have to do him bogus like that.
