LL Cool J - The Ripper Strikes Back (Lyrics) 

Regardless second round knock out went harder and had harder punch lines. Legit had Mike Tyson in it lol. However LL is touching so much paper he basically out a stop to Canibus career before it even was getting Started lol

@@mysixfo8805or he just lost

I hear you. LL was my favorite rapper that I said was the best until he mentioned Canibus. it's not even Close.

LL is going hard here, but still 2nd Round Knockout is still the better diss.

LL came up in a battle rap era. Tons of diss tracks out there by him however they were nowhere near as aggressive as this. Early on his career he learned the ladies loved him and his female songs were bigger hits well besides momma said knock you out. Where his name actually comes from. “Ladies Love Cool James “

Canibus did destroy him.

Canibus should’ve responded to this imo

99 of yr fans Wear heels 👠 damn 🤣🤣

@@abdelrahim2pac542 Which was response to Cannibus initial diss saying 99% of LL's fans are females...

99% of your fans are blonde...damn

😭😭🤣🤣⚰⚰🤦🏾‍♂️

@@abdelrahim2pac542 and even the fans that are NOT females are MORE THAN CANIBUS' ENTIRE FANBASE.. so LL has more guy fans (sounds wierd)_.. and more female fans.. seems like a win win for me..

Maybe not the best line flip but it was really good

@@KvngLxo yup

@@KvngLxo it can't be corny when he told the truth. They don't exist and they still don't

@@donnelladams8362 But its not true... Canibus even responded in Rip the Jacker

@@nessix6273 too late tho

but....... he didnt write this.... lol youre joking right?

@@alienfunbug yes he did

@@isiacfrost5922 welp...you can either google ...or you can listen to llcoolj's music and hear the huge difference between songs. ymmv either way. gl!

@@alienfunbug I've been listening to ll my whole life and I would know if he didn't write something

@@alienfunbug LL just goes beastmode when someone battles him from Kool Moe Dee to Canibus

He went at Em because he found out Eminem wrote this for LL

​@stevepuglia8964 Proof? Bis was making absurd claims and Em told him he's a grown man he didn't write it. LL Cool J never needed a ghost writer, talking about the legend who made I need love, held his own against Kool Moe Dee. He paved the way so bitches like Drake can exist.

@@stevepuglia8964 nope didnt write this for LL

@@lethalassassin1754I agree LL beat him but Eminem got clapped completely he has more fans but Cannibus obliterated him lyrically Eminem is hilariously overrated anyway 😂😂😂

​@@RyomenAyeni225Eminem took a massive L to Canibus

I'm bumpin this in my car summer 22

pretty gay...

Indeed

Yes this was the first Everlast vs Eminem battle!

Nope he lost that battle

also the pettiest

Of course he never lost a battle that he participated in

😂😂😂

I laughed wondering why canibus bothered beefing with this guy lol . 😆 😊 canibus ain't hurt ... another goodie similar is the everlast joint that destroys eminem

@@dtoksgraffworld4028 if you don't think bis was hurt then you haven't watched him speak at the barber shop. That man was broken LMNO!!!!!!

​@dtoksgraffworld4028 Everlast got smoked and went back to his mid ass Country rap and quitter made Everlast quiet

@@dtoksgraffworld4028 Everlast did nothing to em.

Psalms 150

He is the GOAT 🐐 He is Hip Hop he made Def Jam

They think he's a joke rapper... they don't know.

Facts LL is the real 🐐

But canibus destroyed him and Tupac and Biggie reinvented rap and Eminem changed rap as a whole and I don’t got a damn clue what jay z did except get rich

@@Ariwari5298 nah Canibus got killed with this!

Ahhh Canibus won this. Nice song but 2nd round KO was too raw

Yeah agree, LL made a good song but his punches didnt hit as hard as canibus 2nd ko. There felt like alot of filler in this one (trust there were some hits like taking about who he made songs with and the 99% of fans line, but that 99% line could be for anyone ya know? So it doesnt hit as hard) i personally think canibus won, i only listened to canibus 200 bc admittedly but i listened to alot of cool j and i stand by it

Canibus won this what you taking about

@@user-yy1mr5db8r you’re buggin! Canibus got ate

Rip the jacker ripped ll

he lost

​@@estebanmex1072 yes he did

LL is dope but he lost this one.

LL got smacked around, but I love his rebuttal

​@@twatstabber canibus slap boxes in his disses while pretending to be a boxer. Ripper strikes back was punching bus lights out💀

You need to get at me dog. I got allot of LL u never heard.

@@averyt6521 post that shit bro

This was on mixtapes in NY and on the Def Jam 'Survival Of The Illest' bonus disc with the DMX's first album in 98.

Huh? Where were you in '98-99 when him and Canibus went at it

He instigated with Canibus no lie, no need for him to keep his verse after Canibus rewrote his

@@sebastianyazdi3598 Agreed. But Bis wanted to prove he was the best in that initial feature verse. You can't honestly say he wrote those bars about borrowing a mic...then immediately following with "I'll snatch the crown with your head still attatched to it!" He wanted the fame and the spotlight, as LL said in the opening verse here. He wasn't paying homage he made another grimy angry verse and LL had every reason to believe Bis wanted to outdo everyone on that track.

@@sebastianyazdi3598 This is hip hop. Canibus for one one should have shown humility and not been talking "I'm the greatest alive ish..." "Snatching heads off with crowns it and definitely not asking the legend... who gracing you with a spot on his track...to borrow the mike on his arm. All of that can low key be seen someone trying to challenge you. In fact it's something that rappers admit to doing...even against their own group members. It's ok to feel like you are the best...and even compete on the track...but do it by having the craziest verse on the track and not mentioning taking mics off arms and "greatest of all time" claims when your in the presence of a legend because he is also competitive and giving a new artist shine by putting him on his track. I have no problem with L keeping his verse. Just a little discipline a d legends authority to change his mind to remind new blood to humble a bit next time. No one would've have known L was talking about Canibus. Canibus was feeling ambitious at the opportunity to take part in a rap battle with the legend... conversing with him on the phone telling him of his ambitions. It's homie's right but there are possible consequences. L from the battle erra...honestly don't think he can lose🤷‍♂️

@Erik Killmonger this is a rap battle.. what the hell are you talking about. by your logic i'm sure LL would ANNIHILATE Canibus face to face in a fight.. thats not the point.. shit i'll take LL over Canibus AND Wyclefe..

@@theripper1222 lol you serious? LL is also a boxer and grew up in the street. I'll put my $ on LL...

Yeah that’s butta boo

@@soramirez5473 imagine lmfao

@@shuckLedurkins I know smaller dudes have beat up bigger dudes, but in this case i'm putting ALL my money on LL's corner..

Look over your shoulder nigga that’s where your headed!!!😳😳😳

Word lol

You ain't the only one I'm on the hunt for the CD

I had that, came as a double CD on Its Dark & Hell is Hot.

I found one with the sampler CD. Bought it as soon as I seen it's the sampler version.

It was a weak response to 2nd Round K.O. Can-i-bus won that, no contest.

@@D33Lux canibus didnt win shit. Do you hear this song? This is an evisceration

@@idklol4197 2nd Round Knockout is the better diss. Canibus is just untouchable when he has a pencil and pad. His opening taking about LL telling him not to use lyrics in his song, then dissing him, the high heels, Farrakhan all that, LL comes with sound and fury here, but bar for bar, he loses entirely. Like Canibus said, ¨you might have more cash than me, but you ain´t got the the skills to eat a nigga´s ass like me. ¨ (And LL talks alot about how famous he is here)

@@olgierdolo5510 Nope. This whole track was a lyrical murder.

@@olgierdolo5510 no fuckin way it was weak the line means like you punch sombody's head and his head will turn left or right and see his shoulders depend your punches

@@GreifeLuft oh look, another dumbass who thought eminem ghost wrote this

mike must have never heard this song

Nah they both from NY and LL ran with heavyweights as a youth. Mike knew better cuz he knew the same people.

@@idklol4197LL ain’t no bitch lmao

Old School rappers had diss tracks and kept it on records and it was understood. The ¨new¨ rappers during Pac and Biggie´s era are the ones that started actually taking beef to the streets. Canibus was mad, LL was mad, but actually fighting wasn´t even a thought.

He did lose.

@@abyss104 He didn't

@@Goatchild90 you must be over 50. The ripper strikes back had too many corner lines. I make you chuckle like a name buckle?

@@abyss104 So? LL went HAM on Canibus and scortched him and you don't want to start nitpicking lines bro cause there is a certain line from 2nd round KO that's been memed to death

LL.lost! This shit is simplistic and wack!

2021 VISION WAKE UP MY SHEEPLE 💯 SALUTE L.L. COOL J THE G.O.A.T 4LIFE 😎

Mike would put LL in a bodybag

@@olgierdolo5510 this song is over 20 years old. Pretty sure they’ve moved on from that.

@Bald black guy from the shining you’ve got that right. I mean this track was hard but Canibus was lyrically superior to LL Cool J. And I’m a fan of both.

Canibus and LL squashed the feud a few years ago.

@@olgierdolo5510 are u dumb? This was 20 years ago, they don’t give af about that anymore, Mike Tyson cool with LL now

How about hit ‘em up

No

U know nothing if you really think so 😂

No not even top 15 both 2nd round ko and rip the jacker are better

Can I bus lol clap back

I’m glad I’m not the only one that realized that

Killshot was trash though? This is flames

@@dizzyb2309 Killshot's slightly better than this IMO.

@@justsomeguywholikesmangoes1363 Nah, it was trash. Choppy flow, corny punchlines etc.

@@dizzyb2309 Corny punchlines? How?

​@@justsomeguywholikesmangoes1363Killshot isn't better.

Lol

The only thing LL has on Canibus is popularity and mainstream appeal and that's what got him over. But as far as the bars go, lyrically he was no match for Canibus. Cut it out.

@@raisingthebar5766 thats true but the bars part, we have seperate opinions

Nah where I belong was better and I'm a canibus fan

Aulani Plumeria 🧢

@@olgierdolo5510 not at all!

@@olgierdolo5510 you don’t know hip hop then!

Me too.

Nope rip the jacker tore LL's ass up but this was pretty good

Nah canibus responded right after. And honestly second round ko is as just good as this

@@KvngLxo This was after 'Second Round Knockout'. Which is a dope record, but it didn't hit like this one. And LL disrespected Canibus on here.

@@luvaboy772 ik but he still responded wit rip the jacker , it wasn’t as hot as of record as this but he still definitely talked his shit

this song trash

@@Quincyuploads this diss record is hard af, top 5 of all time, if you don't agree then you another salty ass can i bitch fan.

And Wyclif

Unh uhn for real?

​@@theoriginal668straight up?

Lol meet too that's some cold shit

Yes, hasn't aged well
