Comments on: Canibus’ 10 Most Epic Fails

This article is generally on the mark but some of the specific points are totally absurd.

Consider this statement: “While it could’ve been a great marketing ploy, the Cool J diss/first single by Canibus, ’2nd Round K.O.,’ was a weak commercial record.” How was it a weak commercial record? It was at least as hard as Nas’ “Ether,” Jay-Z’s “Takeover,” and other notable diss tracks. Pure nonsense…

And this made me laugh as well: “…both Joe Budden and Royce Da 5’9” bigged up Canibus for his past accolades but denounced Canibus’ current dwindling tenure. Maybe, instead of getting mad at younger heads for speaking their opinions, Bis can take an advice or two to better his career.” Sure, Royce, for example, is three years younger than Canibus so he’s a “younger head,” which implies some sort of generational gap. Duh…

Eminem murdered his lame ass on can i bitch, he never recovered after that. He tried like a year or so ago after relapse came out and went kind of hard on Em I must admit, but it looked like Em just brushed it off and took the high road. I dont think Em will battle someone again unless its worth his time.

seriously? the LL feud wasn’t a ‘fail’ on Bis’ part at all. His debut album was mixed, but by no means a ‘fail.’ The Blinky Blink thing isn’t either, it’s just a guy who decided to be a complete dick. If it was a respected emcee in the mainstream, the way XXL would report it would be totally different. The Slaughterhouse beef? REALLY? You mean the one where a fake Canibus twitter account dissed Royce and Budden, then even AFTER it was revealed to be fake, the 2 SH members STILL talked shit? Bis also released a track HRSU Attack, which was dope, but I guess you guys missed that too? Why don’t you criticize Ras Kass for leaving the group instead of backing his dude up? Crooked I worked with Canibus in the past, and HE was quick to throw Bis under the bus too.
The other incidents, yeah those were bad moves. The Em feud was no doubt confilcted, but it’s ridiculous how Canibus is ignored for his praised releases like Rip the Jacker, Melatonin Magik, and For Whom the Beat Tolls.
Canibus made the Infinite Rhyme Scheme. Look THAT up and tell us about all the fails Canibus did, as if his career hasn’t proven himself as a hip hop innovator and lyricist. The battle he fucked up hard, and he SHOULD be criticized for it, but that doesn’t mean shit when you look at his actual career and discography.

Canibus needs a hug. It’s funnt because the production on his 1st album says co-produced by Canibus on several tracks. They left off the album he did with Keith Murray the underGODS. He flipped out at a radio chick for her wanting him to kick something on the air LOL what the fuck did he forget what the fans listening to the radio would expect from him ? that would have helped a little bit with some of them maybe buying the album. All his mad rapper shit is getting old.

and the beef between him and Slaughterhouse started when he said something like “You pushed D-12 to the side to sign Voltron 5″ on the same diss…he tried to divide and conquer…well that didnt work cuz Royce aimed back at him with “No coming back from that”…get it right if u are a jurnalist

what about that fuckery with D12…?? he added D12 lines on a Eminem and Slaughterhouse diss so that Em could fight with D12…he made a diss to Eminem after 7 years saying D12 wasnt eating and he was helping them …i think that should be added 2 instead of that Blinky whateva

he chose the beats on that first album . becuase 2nd round ko was his idea and it was received in the underground as a success he thought he could quarterback the rest of his career even before he started

I’ve always felt Canibus is probably, at best bi-polar, he’s definitely an enigma
