It's no secret that Canibus is J Cole's favourite rapper alongside Tupac. Well the strange thing is Canibus has decided to start firing shots at his biggest fan with the most ridiculous reason for doing so might i add. Take a listen after the jump to the track and you can read Canibus' reasons why he has taken up such a dislike for one of the hottest rappers out right now Cole!
#TellEmWhyYouMadSon!! Well he does via his
Facebook page here:
Some
people pose the argument that Canibus is always dissing somebody and to
that I reply that I have always been one to speak up if ever my values,
beliefs, or what I stand for as a man in this thing called Hip Hop have
ever been challenged. Throughout my 17 year music career I have never
taken the easy route and I will continue to fight for what I believe in.
However, on the other side of that coin, very rarely do any of these
artists use the proper channels available to reach out and communicate
with me. Royce uses twitter and argues with fake accounts and considers
it a valid way to embolden his self. Anybody can pose as anyone else on
the internet. As a matter of fact, I've been trying unsuccessfully to
get the blue checkmark on twitter for almost two years until I just gave
up. Something bigger than the captain is awry over there, believe me.
As always, I'm left to use the only outlet and resource I know to state
the facts and to give credence to my perspective which is all to often
overlooked, and I would be lying if I said I did not resent this
wholeheartedly. I use pure uncorrupted Hip Hop to respond and I will
continue to do this as long as I possibly can.
Check the
resume’ people. I have always taken on the hard targets in that regard,
yet in the *spirit of true respect, I have always reached out to the
legends, and elder statesmen in Hip Hop I came up listening to from
Rakim, to Kool G Rap, K-Solo, Professor Griff, and numerous others, and
showed my appreciation for their talents by asking if they’d honor me
with their presence on wax through song collaborations.
*( and out of respect for hip -hop in general)
Even though no monetary figure could ever compensate them for their
contributions to the art of hip-hop, I paid them out of a budget when I
had a label and out of my own pocket when I didn't have financial
backing for their participation on my projects, all the while exhibiting
unrivaled love, admiration, humility and humbleness as a man. As a fan,
I hold an immeasurable amount respect for their forever timeless and
inspirational catalogues. These are legendary artists, who sometimes may
not have been occupying the public spotlight but I did what I felt to
be the honorable thing and I've proactively offered up gestures such as
compensating them for their talents as well as their contributions to my
life, as a fan first, a student of hip hop 2nd, and ultimately a man of
music with similar aspirations of becoming a world renown lyricist
myself. Every real rappers dream. I knew they were able to feed their
families and be proud of their impact on the beast from the east with
the bread we broke.
Currently, new artists such as J Cole
have continuously mentioned me as their favorite artist, shouted me out
in articles, magazine/online interviews, and even gone as far as
starting off show sets by playing some of my earlier material to warm up
the audience and give off the impression that he is real hip hop and
loves real lyricism. Cole might say he does this to pay homage, but in
reality, by him playing my older material owned by my former label
dating back to 1998, subsequently overlooking my current works and
contributions which directly benefit me now, he is treating me less like
an artist that has, and continues to contribute, influence, and inspire
an even younger generation of MC’s coming up, and more like an artist
that has physically passed on already(i.e. Tupac, B.I.G., Big L, Heavy
D, Eyeda): you get the point I'm trying to make. I can't help but to
think that he is not nearly as sincere or genuine as he would like real
hip hop heads to think he is because he speaks about me like I am dead.
What he is doing is underhanded and disingenuous and whether it is his
idea or not, I don't agree with his tactic and I have something to say
about it.
Was I so ahead of my time back in 1996 that people
are currently unable to comprehend the jewels I continue to offer
hip-hop NOW in 2012?
Do some real research folk. I am currently
12 albums deep, and I challenge anyone with a high school education or
better to dispute the validity of the cutting edge Hip Hop music I still
contribute to the art form on a yearly basis. Whether you ever wanted
to collaborate on a track with me or not is your prerogative, I only ask
that in your efforts to “pay homage” you don’t overlook my current
offerings to this genre I still love very much and defend to the
fullest.
Some might look to label me as an older head picking
on a younger head who claims to have been influenced by me, but I refuse
to let anyone including him stand on what we built, and pompously
extract only the parts that suit them and their undermining intentions
under the guise of "paying homage". I'm sick of it. That’s fake,
fraudulent, and misrepresents mine and others contributions, and
significance to hip-hop music. After watching many many interviews of
Clone, I mean Cole "pay homage", I decided to pay some homage to him
myself because I am still alive and well and ready to throw down for Hip
Hop.
Respectfully yours,
Captain Cold Crush

This is some straight B/S man, Canibus is looking real stupid right now taking shots at his biggest fan for 1 and one of the hottest rappers out for 2. This beef is uncalled for and is only going to make him look like a hater because this is how he is coming across.
So according to him he's mad because J. Cole is only playing his old music as apposed to his new stuff? Does that mean that J has a problem with him? This is too desperate on his part to stay relevant in the game in 2012 because no one is checking for him right now but we all talking about him now I see. This beef is worst than Nicki and Kim because Nicki was busing shots way before she was famous so Kim had a valid reason, Same can be said for Ludcris/Drake and Big Sean What they said in interviews could give reason to respond, which Luda did. But from what i can see here J Cole's hands are clean and Canibus is looking real biter right now
