The story behind a classic
LL Cool J feat Canibus, DMX Redman,Method Man Master P "4,3,2,1"
The year is 1998 the man,the legend the, guava oil on the chest spokesman LL Cool J is working on a new song that will include Def Jam label mates DMX.Redman, Method Man and an MC who is slowly building a name for himself as an up and coming M.C Canibus (also on the song for some reason was Master P which is a mystery in itself) . That is where all the agreements ends. Both Canibus have both given different stories on the beef that was tenderized then cooked. Apparently Canibus recorded a verse that made a reference to borrowing the microphone tattooed on LL's arm. After hearing the verse LL advised that Canibus change it as it may be perceived to be a dis. Canibus relented and changed his verse. However, LL who had written a response to the verse (at which Canibus states that LL said that he would change) used the verse which belittled the up and coming MC. It has always been LL's contention that he never stated that he would change his verse BUT if Canibus changed his no one would know that verse was written about Canibus. Of course it did leak out to whom LL verse was for and one of the most lopsided battles since Krs One vs Nelly was begun. You have to give Canibus props for even attempting to battle LL but after a track with Mike Tyson co-signing (2nd Round Knockout) he was destroyed with "Guava Oil Man" exclaiming "99% of your fans don't exist" It was pretty much over for Canibus after that Tough break homie there is always joining the army or working security for Kevin Hart.
KEEP IT OLDSKOOL
