DESCRIPTION:
The beef between EMINEM and Canibus.

Canibus's beef with EMINEM started in 1998 before EMINEM was signed. EMINEM spoke on how the beef with Canibus started on Tim Westwood's hip-hop show. Em stated how Wyclef and Canibus approached him in 1998 (before EM bl*w up) and asked if he ghost-wrote the lyrics to LL Cool J's "The Ripper Strikes Back" which was a diss to Canibus. After EMINEM denied writing the song, he explains that Canibus was rude to him.

Canibus came to see him on the Warped Tour the following year and apologised for his reactions and asked if EMINEM was still up for doing collaboration. Canibus presented EMINEM with the track "Phuck U" from the "2000 B.C." album, EMINEM wasn't feeling the track and turned it down. His reason was he thought that it sounded like it was directed toward him and LL, but he couldn't really tell.

EMINEM made numerous name drops on the "Slim Shady LP", which could have been taken either way. Lines like "I'm c*ncerous, so when I diss you wouldn't wanna answer this If you responded back with a battle rap you wrote for Canibus" could have been taken as a diss or a compliment. EMINEM also mentioned Bis' in a track called "Get You Mad".

Shortly after EMINEM's sophomore LP "Marshall Mathers LP" dropped, Canibus decided to continue the story of Stan. "Stan" was the third single to be released from the "Marshall Mathers LP" and told a story about a crazed fan who eventually drove himself off a bridge because EMINEM didnt write a letter back to him. The first skit on Canibus's third release entitled "C True Hollywood Stories" was "Stan Lives" where Canibus witnesses Stan driving off the bridge and he pulls over and helps him. This leads into the first track of the album called "U Didn't Care". In the track Canibus takes the role of Stan and writes to EMINEM.

Canibus also had another skit on the album involving Stan where they are sitting in a limousine chatting, "Stan" offers Bis an M&M and Bis replies with "I don't eat M&M's (EMINEM)". Stan is also included in the Rock influenced track 'Draft Me' where Canibus raps about defending his country.

After hearing this album EMINEM fired a few more sh*ts at Bis on various tracks, First there was "Squaredance" Track 5 from his Third album "The Eminem Show". Apart from that, there were a few subliminal disses scattered throughout the album on tracks such as "When the music stops" and "Say what you say" and the intro to the first single 'Without Me' where he uses the "Round the outside" part of Bis' boxcutter track.

With no reply from Bis' EMINEM continued to diss him, A track from Xzibit's 4th release "Man Vs Machine" called "My Name".

On November 19th 2002, Canibus dropped his 4th release "MicClub: The Curriculum" almost out of the blue. Two of the tracks on the album had EMINEM references. "Dr C PhD" was aimed mainly at Eminem. Then came the banger of the album: "Curriculum 101", where Canibus showed once and for all that he is ready to take on EMINEM, even though he has less fans and less supporters than him.

EMINEM also released the song Can-I-B*tch but it was ignored by Canibus. Canibus vs Dizaster / Dizaster vs Canibus. #hiphopuniverse #hiphopbeefanalysis
