LL Cool J VS. Canibus | 2nd Round KO The Ripper Strikes Back
Uploaded by: classicrapbattles
Video Description:
LL Cool J released the album 'Phenomenon' in 1997. The second single on the album is "4,3,2,1", which features DMX, Method Man, Redman, and Canibus. LL and Canibus clashed during the production of "4,3,2,1" over a reference Canibus made in the song about LL's microphone tattoo. Canibus: "Yo L is that a mic on your arm? Let me borrow that". LL felt the line was disrespectful and responded on the track: "The symbol on my arm is off limits to challengers, you hold the rusty swords I swing the excalibur" and: "Now let's get back to this mic on my arm - if it ever left my side it'd transform into a time bomb. You don't wanna borrow that, you wanna idolize.
And you don't wanna make me mad ***** you wanna socialize". Canibus ultimately agreed to remove his tattoo reference, but a rivalry had been born.
A short time later Canibus released 'Can-I-Bus?' which included the scorching LL Cool J diss "Second Round K.O." LL Cool J responded with an equally charged diss track called "The Ripper Strikes Back".

That Farrakhon line was crazy
LL did his thang...not enough though, not 4 a person who's thought to be wayyyyyyy better.
"99 percent of your fans don't exist!" Oh SHIT! Somebody caught a bad one!
"You ain't got the skills to eat a nigga's ass like me." Oh SHIT! please change that eat to kick.
I got alot of respect for these dudes but LL got him.
Please forward these ryhmes skills to Soulja Boy's lazy, non writing ass. Damn Ring Tone Clone!
WTF?
- "Yes, you can!"
haha..
Exactly.
This shit was the 90's version of Ether
Canibus shoulda won but because LL is such a Bitch and had to have his female stans and russell simmons back him he overwhelmed all the bis fans...
LL cool J is the biggest bitch in hip-hop in my opinion.

How we Roll Lyrics:
We savages, snatchin microphones from amateurs
Cause like women who get abortions, I ain't havin it
I rip you, my metaphor content, will split you
into little, powderlike crystals, so I can sniff you.
