lirik lagu eminem and canibus: discography of a beef – msgothicm

the feud between eminem and canibus spans 17 years (1998 to 2015) and might not be over yet. the following is a chronology/discography of their beef, starting with canibus, rebuffing eminem’s suggestion that they collaborate in 1998, and ending with canibus challenging eminem to battle dizaster in 2015

i hope rap fans reading this will be inspired to reach out to anyone they have a long-standing feud with and bury the hatchet. stop arguing and make music together. stop the h8!

[please note this is a work in progress. i welcome any additional information my readers might have.]

• eminem and proof diss canibus in a freestyle on tim westwood’s radio show at 7:00 here. canibus would respond to this diss a year later on “ph-k u” – “it’s aight if you don’t trust me, cause i don’t trust you.”
