It would have been handled years ago, if he was originally clear about the issue. It was a problem created by LL that he let linger.

in hindsight, it kind of ruined Canibus's career, LL was well connected and anyone that was on LL's side kind of shunned Canibus from any opportunities as a new artist. At the same time, Canibus kind of did it to himself by going the battle rapping route on most of his music, not developing as an artist and dropping the hits required in order to stay relevant. LL is right though, EGO at an all time high in hip hop will block a GREAT AMOUNT OF YOUR BLESSINGS. Those that let their ego go a bit and actually played the game by doing a few commercial joints, basked in their fruits of their labor. The difference between Pun and Bis is that Pun LISTENED and got himself a "Still not a player". All those "Nah i ain't selling out" type rappers never lasted. Looking back, it ain't sh*t to have 1 or 2 commercial joints on your album, you stilll had 85% full control of the rest of your project to spit whatever hard sh you thought would get you your respect. Biggie showed you the blueprint.

I mean didn't he try to go that route with that garbage I Honor You song and hopping on the Gone Til November song? I just think some artists ain't meant to go the commercial route. Rappers like Canibus and Joe Budden don't have the right voices or flows for those types of songs where you throw an R&B hook on and let them rock.

Canibus should’ve just dropped subliminals on random records at LL in the late 90’s while he was still hot instead of an outright diss record before he was established.

 

[BlackMajik]

Canibus was gonna fail no matter what. His fans are some of the most delusional fans in music

Like they really thought he could actually have been some kind of star

 

[Plankton]

Then he would have been a no hit wonder.

He was doing that.

Dude used that "mic on the arm" line in mad freestyles on those old Clue tapes. And on other tracks, like "Get Retarded". That's why LL felt dude was weird. He just kept saying the same sh*t over and over again. He was obsessed with LL. So Cool J had to shut him down.
