Second Round K.O.

Second Round K.O.

Canibus (Ft. Mike Tyson)

Canibus performed this verse originally on the Lengendary Cypher with the late Big Pun, as well as Mos Def, and DMX.

Using a boxing metaphor, LL Cool J’s attack of Canibus was the ‘first round’ and this song/reply is the ‘second round’. The title suggests Canibus is confident this battle track, under the tutelage of Mike Tyson, will provide the knock-out blow (K.O.). Of course, anyone familiar with Canibus' oeuvre knows that the contest was far, far from over after this song. (This is LL’s response, and Canibus himself had another hundred or so responses.)
