Canibus went to a rap party with LL Cool J years ago and then disappeared. In a new interview, he explained why he quit rapping and joined the army.
“That was right after 9/11. That experience, at the time I created a record, C! True Hollywood Stories, that’s the album. The album is satirical, it’s true. It’s just done. Now to sort of create an album that… you know, to get the attention of people who are saying, “Hey man, I want harder records! I want you to make it harder. Beats, lyrics, I want more! ‘ And then I gave them less. Right? By creating such a record,” he said.
“And the record is just something to… it’s not serious but it’s something that still tastes good. It’s something tangible. You can go out and get the artwork, look at it, open the cover [and be like], ‘Who’s that guy in the shirt? Why did he write like that? ‘ We paid 25 bands to advertise The Source and The Source was scared to run ads because of relationships they said could have been ruined, and they did it for the money. And then, after that, they turned around and threw me further. And take the money to blacken me. My feeling at the time was, “You know, rap right, I’m still young enough to go out and make a difference.”
