  "The Greatest Rapper Alive Died On March 9th - Canibus on his very memorial hip hop quote

  
  The greatest rapper of all time died on March 9. Canibus immortalized Biggies death date on his infamous dis record of LL Cool J. Its not the first time historical trivia has crossed paths with hip-hop. The Notorious B.I.G. died on March 9, 1997  thats 26 years ago on Thursday. Many lifelong rap fans know this date by heart, if for no other reason than because Canibus immortalized it on 2nd Round K.O., his classic dis record aimed at LL Cool J. Dis records are one of hip-hops great and unique traditions, and most classic dis records include at least one critical hit that keeps ringing long after the song cuts out. The most scathing insult on 2nd Round K.O. is a response to LL Cool Js claim on 4, 3, 2, 1 to be the greatest of all time. Defending the late Notorious B.I.G.s honor, Canibus rapped, The greatest rapper of all time died on March 9! Its hip-hops version of Lloyd Bentsen telling Dan Quayle, Youre no Jack Kennedy. For nearly a couple of decades now, the lyric has impressed itself upon my basic, instant-recall level of knowledge of human events, achieving a strange prominence alongside Pearl Harbor and 9/11. Canibus stopped b the MAth Hoffa podcast t provide the story behind that historical quote. ...
