Canibus choking against Dizaster

[mdemaz]

Dude, I'm in tears, haha, that's fucking great.

[KillahBee]

'Bis is pure fucking entertainment, I hope he never changes!

"You motherfuckin' scumbag, trashbag full of scum"

[Manly Moose]

If you havent watched the battle you really should, Diz goes in on the personal attacks; Bis seemed good until Diz started rapping then you realized he had no idea what to say. Diz was really nice though for not mentioning the notebook in his last attack and for giving Bis a shit load of props at the end.

Entertaining, sad, and hard to defend. It's funny though, everyone jumping on the bandwagon and pointing out how wack this guy is...

There is a general reluctance to stick one’ s neck out for artists these days.... For that reason, I'll do it:

I would def say... that in the period 1998-2003... this guy did put out some quality tracks.

This IS some funny shit.

[dead prez]

Canibus hasn't been relevant since he made that album collabing with Stoupe, all subsequent albums and "beefs" after that are just pathetic and sad.

[CrashBand]

I'm a fan of Canibus, but that was embarrassing.

care to elaborate on why you're a fan I'm genuinely interested.

[Mathers]

''A faggot ***** trying to make a living off of dissing''. That's funny cause that's what he does.

[DƎRDYPK]

Canibus won, everyone else lost.

[Trimss]

Canibus won, everyone else lost.

Thank you.

[cheeseburger]

Thank you.

That was hystericely funny and intertaining to watch!

We spoke with organizer Organik, from the event's promoter King of the Dot, to try to understand how it all went down.

How did plans for the battle come about in the first place?

Canibus did a show in Toronto in January 2010 where we inquired if he had any interest. He made it seem like a possibility, and we tried to work it out. He thought it would be a six-figure payday, but that changed quickly. It was a manner of my lawyers breaking them down into a number that was possible if everything worked out right. The idea came from battlers growing up and hearing all about Canibus and Eminem battling. While we have footage of Eminem, nobody got footage of Canibus. Whether it was a good battle or not, we could play "Mythbusters" and make hip-hop history.

The day of the battle was there any hint of what Canibus was going to do?

No. He actually, last minute, asked for the time for each round to be switched from four-to-six minutes, to unlimited. Dizaster wasn't really having it, but then we realized we should just let him do unlimited because how many rhymes could he have?

Was he on time at the event?

Yeah, he was on point. I had no problem with his conduct. He was punctual and a super nice guy to all the staff members. He seemed to be in a genuinely good mood and excited to be part of the event.

Once the notebook was pulled out, did the atmosphere change?

Completely. He started the round going on a talking rant. Normally I'd say "this isn't allowed," but he had sort of a mediocre first two rounds and this was going to be what we paid for. You may have not seen an amazing battle, but you saw something you never expected and it was 20 times more interesting. Everybody wanted to start talking. No one really knew what to say because it wasn't like he lost a battle, [it was like] he lost his pride, respect and career. I'm sure in his mind he wanted to be generous and give his fans something, but it just doesn't work that way.

Did you think Canibus' performance was going to become such an internet meme?

I knew the second it happened that I wasn't going to check the internet for days. Even as it was happening, I got 40 text messages throughout that third round from people asking me to cut him off.

Looking forward, are you going to put clauses in future battles to avoid a similar incident?

There were clauses in that contract, but why kick a dog when he's down?

Even with the Canibus incident, do you consider it a successful event?

For sure. It brought us huge exposure and for our first major event in L.A., it couldn't have gone any better.
