Who Is Ken Kaniff?

Postby yung rom » Sep 7th, '14, 03:18

Thought I'd make a thread just summing up what we know about this guy (the original dude, not Eminem's impersonation). He started as a Detroit rapper under the name "Aristotle," although I'm pretty sure his name is "Aristotle Bendoit."

So what, he does the skit on SSLP, gets in a fight with Eminem, leaves, disappears for a couple years, releases "The Ken Kaniff Show," and disappears again. Lord knows where he is now or what the hell he's doing. You used to be able to look at his and Clint Dogg'swebsites on wayback a year or two ago, but they seem to have blocked them. Still, I thought I'd try to listen some other songs/stuff he's done in the meantime.

1998 - He can be found on two Wake Up Show Freestyles w/ Eminem: "Wake Up Show Freestyle 3 (feat. Aristotle & Royce Da 5'9)" and "Wake Up Show Freestyle 2 (feat. Aristotle & Dilated Peoples Aris)." These can be found in Himshadow's pack.
Apparently, while on the Wake Up Show, Aristotle randomly dissed Defari, which was the "feud" that caused Eminem and Aristotle to part ways. Defari responded with "Bass Murder." https://myspace.com/cotterrecords/music ... 6-53476282 . Aristotle allegedly responded with a diss track "Takin' You To School," but it was either never released or can't be found. The Defari vs. Aristotle beef was apparently a semi-big deal.


1999. The obvious "Ken Kaniff (Skit)" from SSLP

2002 - He releases full album "The Ken Kaniff Show." The tracklist on Amazon is different than mine, so I'll just list the one in my iTunes.
01. Call Em (Skit)
02. Buy U A Beer
03. Ken Is Crazy
04. Super Ken
05. Dotcom
06. Wanna Be (same thing as "Gyno")
07. Kreep Wit Me (same thing as Creep Wit Me)
08. Palmela Handerson
09. Babysitter
10. Karolyn
11. Perfect Mix
12. Boy Is Mine
13. Vato
14. Without Me
There's apparently another track called "Kleys" but I can't find it.

2003: He's on a song with Clint Dogg from an album called "Who Shit" called "In Tha Place (Miss B Diss 2) (feat. Ken Kaniff & Clint Dogg)." He was also on another random Clint Dogg song called "Shit On You (feat. Ken Kaniff & DJ Jimmah).

2005: Has 6 tracks on "Who Shit Mixed TAPE / Bootleg" by Clint Dogg.
01. Intro (feat. Ken Kaniff)
03. No Resolution (feat. Clint Dogg, Ken Kanniff & Kokane)
05. What's Goin' On (feat. Ken Kaniff, Clint Dogg & Kwarta)
07. Ken Kaniff Is Crazy (feat. Ken Kaniff & Clint Dogg)
19. Cumming Out Tha Closet (feat. Ken Kaniff & Clint Dogg)
20. Visiting Australia Skit (C-Style Diss) (feat. Ken Kaniff)
Pretty sure his site said something about him releasing another album by 2005 that had "Cummin Out Tha Closet," but it clearly never happened, and you can't even find that page on wayback anymore. UPDATE: It was going to be called "Heavenly Father"

Unknown Year: This is interesting: https://archive.org/details/iuma-ali_g . Creepy. But also interesting, I guess. He's featured on the first track: "Da Arrival." Ali G's full name is Alister Graham and he looks like this
Image (but srly, who tf is this guy and why's he so much cooler than us)
UPDATE: Guys... it's Sacha Baron Cohen. Ali G is Sacha Baron Cohen and he was signed to Cock&Ass Records. Whew. ken kaniff made it fam :worship:

So those are all the songs I could find of him. Interesting how much shittier he gets from 2002-2005. The more I listen to the newer songs, the more it seems like it's not even him. damn.

UNACCESSIBLE SONGS:
Don't Tell Daddy EP (Ken Kaniff & Menace):
01. Don't Tell Daddy (Intro)
02. Dont Tell Daddy
03. First 2 Cum
04. Just Another Fantasy
05. 187Cum
06. Let's Get Sluts, Let's Fuck
07. I'm Cummin
08. Hoes Or Whores (Outro)
Image (lel at the erotic tracklist pic)
If You Play Your Cards Right Featuring Tupac Shakur (ORIGINAL) (supposed bonus track on the Ken Kaniff Show)
Description: In this song,Ken receives a call from a would-be father in search of a baby-sitter for his youthful daughter little does this dad know that Ken Kaniff is a little too unstable to be a deemed fit to babysit anyone's children. What follows is a bizarre and crazy look at the dangers of babysitting, in general.
Gonna Be Ghetto (feat. Uneek)
Phone Interview - Ken Kaniff
The Kidnap (feat. Michael Jackson)
Is It Cool 2 Fuck (FOUND https://archive.org/download/iuma-dj_ji ... 2_Fuck.mp3)
Thuggin & Bitches
Street Fame
Cause I Had 2 (FOUND https://archive.org/download/iuma-dj_ji ... _Had_2.mp3)
First 2 CumPromo

On his iuma website, in addition to putting up his songs and Eminem stuff (Crackers and Cheese, Soul Intent, Infinite, SSEP, Quitter), he also put up his whole album for free, but the tracklist was altered.
01. Curtains Open (Skit)
02. Without Me
03. Ken Is Krazy
04. Palmela Handerson
05. Buy U A Beer
06. Wanna Be (Skit)
07. Dotcom
08. The Boy Is Mine
09. Insane Clown Pussies (Skit)
10. Baby-Sitter
11. Super Ken
12. Call Em (Skit)
13. Karolyn
14. Perfect Mix
15. Visiting Australia (Skit)
16. Kreep Wit Me
17. Vato
18. Coming Outta The Closet
19. Curtains Close (Skit)
20. If You Play Your Cards Right (feat. 2Pac, K-ci & Jojo) (HIDDEN TRACK)
If anyone else has more info/songs/etc. post here. His email is luvsthikkwomen@gmail.com soooooo... that's cool ig. Not sure why I took so much time and effort to compile all this info on some random guy, or, more importantly, why anyone would care. Guess this is just what 14 year olds do in their spare time. excitaz get in here homie.

Singin' "Bagpipes from Baghdad" again
In my dad's drag draggin' a faggot in a Glad bag
Won't be the last time I make a dramatic entrance like that again
You thought I was lyin' when I said I think that I'm crossin' the line again
I've lost my mind, caution oh God I think I've just thought of another fucking line
Forgive me father, for I have sinned
But hip hop has left me brainwashed with a violent streak

The dude has sick production, but his rapping is something to be desired.
