That was a sucka move but it was one that LL has gone on record as saying he does regret doing. There is no debating what happened on that “4,3,2,1” track as LL laid his verse after Canibus did and went for the kill, damn near behind his back. The first two bars alone won Canibus the battle. Researched the footnotes ’bout how you used to sniff coke I studied your background, read the book that you wrote So when you say that you platinum, you only droppin’ clues That’s a bitch move, somethin’ that a homo rapper would do ![]() You studied my rhyme, then you laid your vocals after mine So I’m a let the world know the truth, you don’t want me to shine ![]() But who was this cat taking shots at LL? What made him think he actually had a chance to go against one of the heavyweights and leave a mark? But when he begin to spit, you knew that LL made a huge error. Before “Second Round KO”, Canibus was just beginning his buzz in the industry spotlight.

Hey, Mike Tyson here, speakin’ with the Canibus man over here But in terms of lyrics and pure energy, Canibus murdered LL Cool J with “Second Round KO.” Imagine having Mike Tyson open up your track. Many feel that the beef with the Hip-Hop icon was just too much for Canibus to overcome. The debate rages on decades later as to who won the battle and many will point to LL due to what happened to Canibus’ career. But Canibus was not your average star-struck kid in any sense of the word. ![]() LL was what Hip Hop was about at the time and his verse on that track should have ended any up-and-coming MCs career. Canibus answered back to LL Cool J’s verse on “4,3,2,1” with some of the sickest lines spit on a mic. In 1998, one of the greatest diss songs ever in Hip-Hop was released.
