CANIBUS ON LL COOL J: “2ND ROUND KNOCKOUT WAS DAVID VS GOLIATH!!!”

In this past clip from My Expert Opinion Ep. #163, legendary lyricist Canibus sits down with Math Hoffa to revisit one of the most talked-about beefs in hip-hop history — Canibus vs LL Cool J.

Canibus details the first awkward meeting with LL Cool J, how his verse on “4,3,2,1” led to tension, and what really happened behind the scenes of the “Second Round Knockout” video — the moment that became a lyrical showdown between two rap icons.

He also reveals how he felt alone in the studio, the truth about being left out of the original video, and how it all evolved into a battle that shaped the golden era of hip hop.
