The homosexual persona of
Ken Kaniff is the creation of underground Detroit rapper Aristotle. After lending his voice to a skit on The Slim Shady LP, a dispute between
Eminem and Aristotle led to the break-up of the working relationship. From the Marshall Mathers LP onwards, all skits using the
Ken Kaniff persona have been performed by
Eminem, not Aristotle - usually in an attempt to poke fun.
Aristotle struck back with a full-length album titled "The
Ken Kaniff Show", which was independently released online at www.kenkaniff.com
On the album Aristotle alternates between his
Ken Kaniff voice and his regular rapping style. The album features diss tracks against
Eminem and contains controversial songs about topics as diverse as paedophilia, masturbation, gangsterism and is at times sadistic and humourous.
The album's site is no longer in operation and little has been heard from Aristotle since.
