It's one I can watch repeatedly and never get bored of. Haunting stuff I had this debate the other night with a mate regarding an old feud; Canibus and LL Cool J. Just wondering what the opinions of you fine mob are on the subject? I'm purely in the LL won camp but my mate maintains Canibus slaughtered LL. Canibus chopped his own bollocks on 2nd Round KO with the Freudian slip pertaining to eating bum, in my opinion. No coming back from that. The greatest diss song of all time is 2nd Round KO. Canibus destroyed him...Branquey, have a word with yourself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted June 10, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted June 10, 2018 I really think 2nd Round KO is overrated. Its on me gym playlist an it pops on quite frequently these days. He trips himself up a lot, is phonetically all over the place, with stumbling over words while getting overexcited, Gammons. Have another listen and tell me he doesn't goose himself with the "Eat an ass like me, line". I do be in the middle of something and that line does have me going "Ah Jaysus, no..." I think Ripper Strikes Back is better, purely for the "99% of your fans don't exist" line and it's a bit smarter and more aggressive. But in saying that, my favourite diss tracks of all time are Can-I-Bitch by Eminem and Supa Ugly by Jay Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am an unashamed Canibus stan,and for me it was more the fact that he could've left it after LL's absolute "bitch move", but he was confident enough to take on one of the greatest, and took it back to the battle/diss days which a lot of guys weren't doing. Ripper Strikes Back is good, but I love 2nd Round KO...And anyway, as a fan of the old analingus,you should love the "eat an ass" line :) Agreed on Supa Ugly. Brutal, to the point where Jay's mum asked him to apologise right? Nas is my favourite MC of all time, but Jay Z won that battle. Ether is incredibly overrated, very basic and not clever at all and The Takeover is the best song out of that series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted June 11, 2018 Author Moderators Share Posted June 11, 2018 Either of you been following the back and forth with Pusha T and Drake? Pretty entertaining stuff. From Push, at least, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although a dose of gastroenteritis over Christmas 2015 put the brakes on my fascination with that particular act for a good year or so... 100% agree on Ether. It's remedial, childish and just 4 minutes of gay jokes, nonsense and homophobic puns. Awful stuff. Takeover was a cracker and Supa Ugly went down to Nas' level, did it ten times better and ruined him. I've never understood how people say Nas won that war. 51 minutes ago, Chest Rockwell said: Either of you been following the back and forth with Pusha T and Drake? Pretty entertaining stuff. From Push, at least, anyway. I have, and it's been quite interesting and - as you said - entertaining, given that these days beefs aren't what they used to be. Apparently Drake has been asked to hold off releasing a track that will absolutely rinse Pusha T and Kanye. I'd fucking love to hear that as he hasn't contributed much by way of smarts thus far, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted June 11, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) Has Drake got it in him to fire back with anything hard enough, especially after that Adidon track Pusha put out the other week? That was pretty savage. I bet Pusha's got more stuff up his sleeve as well. He's been around too long, he's not going to have played his full hand yet. And yeah, I'm a huge fan of Nas, much more a Nas man than Jay Z, but I've always thought Ether was overrated. A lot of the lyrics aren't the best, the hook is boring and I don't like the beat. It's just never done it for me. Nas' new Kanye produced album drops this Friday by the way. It's only 7 tracks long like the Kanye and Pusha T ones that just came out.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted June 15, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) Anyone listened to the new Nas album 'Nasir' yet? Had a quick look about this morning before work and couldn't find it. And seen loads of people on twitter complaining it's not on iTunes, Spotify or anything yet. Anyone know what the crack is? Edit - forget this, it's a day late but it's finally up on iTunes! Edited June 16, 2018 by wandshogun09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted June 16, 2018 Author Moderators Share Posted June 16, 2018 (edited) Wow. That was terrible. Really enjoying this series of Kanye-affiliate short albums. Daytona is excellent. New Apollo Brown album just dropped that's real solid. Edited June 16, 2018 by Chest Rockwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted June 16, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2018 Yeah I was going to mention that Apollo & Locksmith album. Really liked that. Still haven't got around to the Nas album yet. I want to wait until I can properly sit back and give it a proper listen. I've heard very mixed reviews so far. Oh and this is a bit left field. I'm not usually a fan of Rick Ross but I'm digging this track he's done with Smif N Wessun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted June 17, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted June 17, 2018 Finally listened to Nas. I liked it. Standouts for me were 'Everything', 'Adam and Eve' and 'Not For Radio'. Nothing blew me away but I really enjoyed it on the whole. A lot of the criticism seems to be from people who were expecting him to top the Illmatic and It Was Written albums, which were both absolute classics. He's kind of always going to be a victim of his own success with that back catalogue. Like Wu-Tang with 36 Chambers, they've never been close to bettering that since.
