Canibus

Canibus, also known as Germaine Williams, is an american hip-hop artist Born in Kingston, Jamaica, on December 9, 1974. Him, along with his family, including his father, Basil Williams, whom was a former jamaican cricketer, and his mother, Elaine Williams, moved quite frequently, due to his mother's career, with location's including The Bronx, Washingon D.C., Atlanta, Miami, Buffalo, and even London. After graduating high school in 1992, over the course of two year's, he worked for the U.S. Department of Justice as a data analyst, and for AT&T. Somewhere along the way, he attended DeKalb College in Atlanta, Georgia, studying computer science. He currently live's in Atlanta, Georgia.

In the late nineties, Canibus was an up and coming emcee, with a reputation for lyricism, and a few note-worthy records. Clearly among a handful of promising talent, he was asked to collaborate with Method Man, Redman, DMX, and Master P, for LL Cool J's song '4,3,2,1'. As a long time listener, and fan, Canibus knew that LL Cool J had a Microphone tatoo on his right arm. While recording '4,3,2,1', Canibus wrote a verse suggesting he would like to barrow the microphone from LL Cool J's arm. Thinking he would take it as flattering, Canibus submitted the finished verse to LL Cool J. About a week later, LL Cool J contacted Canibus, telling him that if he wanted to be on the song, he was to re-write the first 3 line's of the verse. Canibus agree'd, thinking LL Cool J would re-write his already finished response to his verse, he didn't. To this day, at the end of '4,3,2,1', LL Cool J's entire verse is a response to Canibus's line 'L is that a mic on your arm?, let me barrow that'. In 1997, after acknowledging LL Cool J's verse, Canibus wrote a response to it, which is known as 'Rip The Jacker'. To this day, people argue back and forth that one of them won. When it come's down to it, it's a personal opinion, but Canibus destroyed LL Cool J. So much that listener's of the song 'Rip The Jacker' stated that Canibus should apoligies for burning him so hard.

There isn't much to say about this particular beef, except the two made a few record's dissing one another.
