Canibus choking against Dizaster

[ShadysDisciple]

Look, I'm not even much of a fan, I'm just being real when I say that battling is shit these days, nobody even gives a fuck.

Dude battling is bigger and better than ever these days. Take a look at Scribble Jam, and the Rap Olympics in '97, and then look at KOTD, Smack URL, etc. in 2012 and tell me which one is better.

I agree with both of you, to be honest. I miss the battling with a mic in hand and it just being 60 second verses. Having weeks to prepare for an upcoming opponent gives so much time for that particular rapper to think of stuff. For me, the authenticity of it is disappearing - it's dope as fuck, but it's authenticity isn't as evident for me.

That applies to everything in life though, not just rap battles. Things now compared to 15-20 years ago seem tame in comparison to me. Probably because I'm a nostalgic twat muffin.

Alot of this is true. Theres 2 sides though, because pre writing can make your verses alot doper, because like you said, you have more time to think of shit and to structure your verse, but off the top is more authentic, because it's in that moment, right there, and it takes alot more skill to spit a 60 second freestyle than a 60 second written.

Just watched the full performance. Diz killed it, and Canibus, well, he choked. Some of his shit wasn't terrible either, but then he choked. It would be like, he'd say something cool and wait for 40 seconds smiling. The fact that he said the guy had honey eyes was crazy haha, and I don't think I've heard someone diss themselve like the "eat shit and die" line. However, if he joined battle rap, it'd get a lot more views. He's hilarious to watch.

um bro just cause your not into the battle scene doesnt mean it shit "these days"
battling is bigger than its ever been and this event was supposed to show that.
having bis involved was supposed to take it to ungodly heights but he blew it.
but it did get some attention like they wanted lol...

but their not saying this is gonna make him retire and all that, their saying he should be so embarrassed
and anyone he beefs with with ether him with this because he looked like such a dumbass, and he always calls
people out. he brought his slaughterhouse beef into... and then looked like a failure

yeah battlers go back to the studio, cause thats where the masses of fans are, and the money.
but if your like saurus/illmac theyve made like a mil off battling. they still do it just cause they love it.

as said before, just cause your not up to par with the info, doesnt mean its dead

Iight, good response, I admit, I was wrong, I respect musicians man, I don't even give a shit, I like how they are trying to bring back the Hip-Hop Shop days.

I hope the dude bounces back with a new album.

He's actually got like 3-4 projects going on right now. Just wanted to point that out lol.

Yeah man, I really enjoy his solo work, especially Rip the Jacker.

The way everyone is reacting is pathetic, they all think that performance gives them a great opportunity to talk shit about Canibus and blow him up, yeah, that really helps killing a career.

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

It kinda does, though his career has been dead for over 8 years. But seriously, theres no way people laughing at him could help his career at all, the publicity is not very big and its entirely negative. Kinda feel bad for the guy but he really is a horrible person and has shown that at every turn.

Yeah, it's been "dead" as in he gets little attention, but he still gets attention.
I'd kill to even have his exposure.

Yeah, good point, Menzo.

Jesus, Canibus fell the fuck off!

This Dizaster dude is shit, it's like watching Mike Tyson being K.O'd by Kevin McBride

[mdemaz]

Frank Stacks & L Money did a parody haha.

[lifeadeath]

Haha, i've heard so much about this Canibus choking thing. I haven't even seen the battle and probably won't even watch it

The day of the battle my memory and mental state wasn’t 100% due to these circumstances. I knew this so I brought my copybook to practice the 30 plus pages of infinite rhymes that I had structured for Dizaster. The stitches in the back of my head were hurting me and my shoulder was killing me but The Ripper doesn’t need medication, he controls pain with his mind. At the event I was very confident with the likes of Supernatural behind me and the guy who’s strong stomach was showing- But to protect him from any abduction I won’t reveal his name- Lets just call him Subject 10. The crowd showed me energy as well and as I delivered my first round I could see in Dizaster’s eyes he was intimidated by the mind with the infinite rhyme. Eventually the traumatic effect I suffered days before caught up to me and I could no longer be as sharp as I needed to be. The fans paid money, as did the KOTD staff, so even though there was nothing left in my mental tank, I reached for what is now the infamous notepad and decided to read my infinite rhymes. Needless to say, the results were underwhelming and it didn’t look right, but now, realizing the actions that preceded the event I’m sure you all understand.

Firstly, I want to apologize first to ‘Subject 10’ whose vehicle I abandoned when the agents were approaching me. Secondly, I’d like to apologize to Supernat because I made him come support me and stand behind me for that embarrassment. Thirdly, I’d like to apologize to all The Rippers in attendance who I let down. Finally, I’d like to apologize to Dizaster and the entire KOTD staff. I tried my best and stood there like the solider I am but there was nothing I can do. As I said in the event, I could only do what I can do. For everyone who seems to be making a mockery out of my just- Remember this; dinosaurs once ruled the planet, Rome was once a powerhouse, The Blazers drafted Greg Oden, and every dog has its day. Doubt me and you will be defeated.

What the fuck did I just read? Is he on LSD or something? Abram, a little help here?

[MikeNUFC]

mdemaz is totally clueless.

Funny watching this back, but nothing on watching live, which was one of the funniest, most bewildering things I'd ever seen, purely for the build up.

And how hilarious is this: http://canibuscentral.ihiphop.com/forum ... opic=81411

[mdemaz]

Oi...
You were probably just waiting for me to say something stupid, right?

I could school you in other genres of music, though.
Thanks for the love.

[mdemaz]

Ok, now THAT is sad.

[cheeseburger]

So basicly canibus's brother says this whole thing was for publicity for a new album I guess.
