Today saw the release of a new Diss track by Canibus and DZK, the track titled “air strike, (pop killer)” was released today on Warlab records, and sees Canibus calling out Eminem on a number of issues.
The pair (Eminem and Canibus), have had a long standing feud reportedly since 1998, despite Canibus attempting to squash it on a number of occasions, Eminem has made it perfectly clear, both on track and in interview that he has no desire to add him to his friends list.
Many have asked the question as to why Canibus is attempting to go after Eminem again now, as the rap pair’s beef has been laying dormant for a matter of years now. The most common and probable answer is that with Eminem re-emerging again and enjoying success again with his 6th Studio Album ’Relapse’ , Canibus has seen an opportunity to put his name in the limelight again. Canibus has never hit the heights of fame that Eminem has, and has never really managed to infiltrate the mainstream, so some have seen this as a final push to ‘get in the spotlight’ before it’s too late .
With Eminem due to release another album in the near future this may prove to be a dangerous move for Canibus as Eminem has one of the best CV’s in the business when it comes to handling beef, as Ja Rule and Ray Benzino will both testify to after feeling the full force of the Slim Shady backlash, resulting in a very highly publicised dispute with most agreeing that in both instances Eminem came out on top by a substantial margin.
This is definitely going to be one to keep an eye on, and should Eminem respond this has the potential to overshadow any of the current disputes within the Hip Hop world, but that is is of course if Eminem responds !
Is Canibus looking to ride on Eminem’s Success ? Does Eminem still have the fight in him to handle another situation like this ? If they lock horns, who will come out on top ?
We think Eminem will still prove too strong for Canibus, but we would love to hear what you think, let us know how you think this situation will play out.
