[quote=bigted,Jun 27 2004, 12:49 PM]That was classic!![/quote] Canibus ripped LL? Where's Canibus now then if he did rip LL? I don't hear anyone say Canibus is a legend, they still say LL is a legend. If Canibus ripped LL so bad he would be getting more cred than what he has and he doesn't know how to make rap music 'cause what hot album did Canibus make? LL didn't have anything to prove to Canibus just like we say Will Smith doesn't have anything to prove to Eminem 'cause when you're a new rapper you can't just overtake a veteran that has been in the game for 15 years. That'd be like sayin' that Lebron James would beat Michael Jordan in one-on-one, it ain't happenin'. [/quote] Canibus is still around making records andripping up the mic wherever he goes. Just recently he was at 'The Jump Off' MC battle competition here in London. Plenty of people [b]are[/b] saying Canibus is a legend, and he is. How many people do you think can put words, smilies and metaphors together like he can? And just because Canibus beat LL in a battle doesn't mean he automatically becomes a bigger star than him and starts being successful, it doesn't work like that. The one advantage LL has over Canibus is that he knows how to make songs which the record buying public will accept and buy in their numbers. This is something that Canibus has always lacked. But saying this Canibus [b]DOES[/b] make hot music. Which albums have you listened to of his?? Anybody who's listened to any of his albums (barring C-True Hollywood Stories) would not say that Canibus does not make hot music. But the fact of the matter is that Canibus is and always will remain an underground MC, which is why his records don't sell in the millions. If u check out his forum, you'll see the enormous fan base in which he has. And for someone who doesn't have anything to prove, why did LL start the whole battle between them?

For me Canibus easily beat LL!! 2nd round knockout was soooo good! Canibus was coming up wid loads of personals and attacks and i think generally was a better diss track. Ripper strikes back was just ALL responses to canibus' disses!! no original stuff, no personals, no nothing!! the only line which i think was credible and well flipped was: [b]"Ask Canibus, he ain't understanding this/ Coz 99% of his fans-don't exist!/"[/b] That was classic!!

welcome back!! :thumb:

4 all guys!!! Next vote wins!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAN!!! Enjoy iT!!

Oh ok!! i was counting a battle as 'Who's da better MC' and them proving themselves on track!!

Happy Birthday Man!!!!!! Have a great day!!!!

I think your getting confused! Will was executive producer on those soundtracks which means he oversaw what made it onto the album and what didn't. He didn't actually make the beats for the album. That is what i mean by the term 'producer'. A person who physically makes the beats themselves. Eminem is well known now for making beats. He has done so for artists such as Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Obie Trice and D12. I think people are missing the point of this post! When i say producer/rapper i mean somebody who is well known for doing both. And to at least have an album out to showcase their rapping abilities!! Not somebody that has rapped on a couple of tracks. I've made a couple of beats myself but i would no way considermyself a producer!

Thats EXCELLENT man!!! :thumb: I definately prefer the 2nd one!!! Its got that teary effect!! :tear: How did u do them??

[quote=bigted,Jun 25 2004, 03:06 PM]You forgot to mention Teddy Riley. He'd have to be in the top 5.[/quote] Teddy Riley isn't a rapper as well!! I was interested as to what you guys thought out of the list of guys i said!!

[quote=JumpinJack AJ,Jun 25 2004, 02:15 PM]1. DJ Premier 2. DJ Jazzy Jeff + A Touch of Jazz 3. Jermaine Dupri + So So Def 4. Timbaland 5. Easy Mo Bee 6. Eric B. 7. Ummah (A Tribe Called Quest, Slum Village) 8. Dr. Dre 9. DJ Scratch 10. Kanye West 11. Rodney Jerkins + Darkchild There is somebody i'm 4getting!![/quote] Strictly speaking Jeff isn't a rapper! He may have rapped ona few trax but he is not classed as a rapper!!

Thats excellent man! Hope ur doin well Prince!

For me, it has to be: [b]LL Cool J ~Vs~ Canibus[/b] That was a classic!!!

Since this is a new board and all with new members, I thought we could put up the 'faces behind the posts' again!!! Here's mine: [b][url="http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/PersonDetail/personid-163155/"]Da Brakes[/url][/b]

Out of these guys, who do you think is the best producer/rapper?! Take anything into prospective!! [b]Rza, Timberland, Jermaine Dupri, Dre, Kanye West, P.Diddy, Eminem[/b] My order goes: 1. Kanye West 2. Dre 3. Eminem 4. Timberland 5. Jermaine Dupri 6. P.Diddy 7. Rza

Thanx man!! That was beautiful!!! :tear:

Mr Ice Ice Baby takes this round 5 votes to 2!! Next 'rappers' are: [u][b]P.Diddy[/b][/u] [img]http://www.celebfashions.com/images/p-diddy-1.jpg[/img] [b]~Vs~[/b] [u][b]Bizarre[/b][/u] [img]http://www.shadyworld.dk/billeder/D12/Bizzare/bizarre-1.jpg[/img]

Thats awesome!!

Here are the cats that made it through to round II!! Round II (Ding Ding!!!) [b]Vanilla Ice[/b] [img]http://www.thestinkers.com/images1/vanillaiceb.jpg[/img] ~Vs~ [b]Ja Rule[/b] [img]http://www.power1069.com/timages/page/ja_rule.jpg[/img]

Like I said in the original post, the list is shortlisted by me as everyone has vastly different opinions as to their taste in rappers!! You happened to mention that you think Ludacris should be one this list, I happen to think he is one of the more credible MC's out there. I don't think 50 Cent is! Neither of us are right, Its all a matter of opinion!!

Great interview!!! Thanx alot for that Tim!!! Its interesting to read stuff like this and figure out where Will gets some of the lyrics for his songs!!! [quote]No plan B. It distracts from plan A[/quote] I personally don't think Will would have ruined Matrix!! Yea it would have been very different with him starring in it but I believe he would have been extremely dedicated to portraying the role in the right way!! I mean look at 'Ali'! He spent so long researching and really getting into the role!

Thats the guy alright!!! For all those who don't know who Benzino is!! In my opinion he is a washed up Boston rapper who used to have a group called 'RSO' way back in the day!! You'll probably all know him from his well publicized battle with Eminem!!

Good luck man!! Hope everything goes well for you!!

Wow! £2.99!! Albums that have been out for [b]years[/b] are still going for more than that!!
