The beef between KRS-One and Canibus - Hip-Hop Universe

The LL Cool J Vs. Canibus battle laid the foundation for the beef between KRS-One and Canibus. The original version of the song featured Method Man, Redman, Canibus, and DMX. Each rapper recorded their verses, alone, and they were sent to LL Cool J.

For the most part, everything was great until he heard Canibus’ verse. The verse mentioned Canibus borrowing the microphone tattooed on LL’s right arm. While Canibus insists that he meant it as a compliment, LL Cool J took it as a diss and he recorded a verse that was dedicated to ripping Canibus apart.

Canibus wanted LL to change his verse, but LL told Canibus to change his, to which he agreed. He said that once the song hits radio, no one will know who he is talking about. From there, LL pulled the song from radio and Canibus re-recorded his verse.

Still, the original version leaked and the feud was on. In 2004, their now-legendary feud was featured on the DVD, Beef II. Canibus spoke on the feud, along with KRS-One. He offered a unique opinion that Canibus should have simply rapped about something aside from LL. KRS stated that there should have been no mention of any type of mic, he should have been thankful to be on the track.

Canibus responded in 2010 with the songs "The Dragon Of Judah" and "Kriminal Kindness". He was angry at him for disrespecting newer artists no matter how good they are. Canibus challenged KRS-One to a battle, who challenged Canibus to a battle in 1998.

“How many emcees must get dissed, before somebody whispers don’t f**k with Bis / My Survival Skills surpass Kris, watch this / You got a rap for every emcee? GO GET IT THEN /Why you d*ck ride Def Jam, they not your friend / Make your mind up, I thought you was not with them / F***ing comedy, speaking on flawed philosophy / You’ll never give props to Keith Or Canibus for Undergods release / Go right ahead, dismiss it / We ain’t submissive, we spit lyrical lyrics / I got the right to live off it, I live it And I’mma voice my opinion, can’t nobody make me think different

When asked about up and coming rap star Canibus, KRS noted that while he respects him and feels that Canibus is talented. He would indeed end his career in a battle. KRS went on to praise Canibus for being an artist who respects the rules of the emcee battling game. He then went on to add that he realizes that Canibus is a young man who is trying to establish a career in the music industry and that as a OG in this rap game he should sit back and allow Canibus to take time out to build himself up so he can be around for a while.

Again KRS came back to his original point which was that if Canibus feels that battling KRS-One would somehow help his career he would do so. After all, the subsequent publicity would be great..However, he would after understand that KRS-One would bring it to him and most likely end his career. Kris in his banter pointed out that he was like a martial arts master and that he is always prepared. He noted that when he released the 'Return Of The Boom Bap' album in '94 that he put all rappers on notice. He said that anyone who came out after '94 were subject to having their careers end at any given moment. KRS claimed that when he hears a new artists come on the scene.. that he immediately writes a rhyme that will totally dismantle him and his career. He keeps those rhymes in the back of his head just in case he has to take some kid out.

KRS noted that any battle between him and Canibus would be because Canibus called him out. He suggested that it would be a bad move. He suggested that they would start off battling on records and then set up a match. He said that KRS would be on one radio station while Canibus would hang on the rival station. Kids would have to get two radios to listen and the station with the highest ratings would win. He warned Canibus or any other rapper not to battle him in a club. #hiphopuniverse #hiphopbeefanalysis
