"C True Hollywood Stories" is the third studio album by the rapper Canibus, released through Archives Music on November 6 2001. The album is Canibus' first release on an independent record label (his first two albums, "Can-I-Bus" and "2000 B.C.", were released on Universal Records). The album was named after the television show "E! True Hollywood Story".

Beef with Eminem

The album has various skits referring to "Stan", which at this time in Canibus' career, was beefing with Eminem. The track "Stan Lives!" is a skit that begins seconds before "Stan" drives off the bridge in Eminem's "Stan". "U Didn't Care" is a song from "Stan's" point of view.

Eminem's responses were somewhat subliminal on his next release, The Eminem Show. Near the end of "Square Dance", Eminem says

"Can-I-Bitch don't want no parts of me."

Eminem also uses an altered "'Round the Outside" rhyme on the "Without Me" :

"Two trailer park girls go 'round the outside, 'round the outside, 'round the outside."

Canibus used a similar line on "Box Cutta' Blade Runna" :

"Canibus is coming for ya’ll 'round the outside, 'round the outside, 'round the outside."

Eminem made a song and released via mixtape called "Can-I-Bitch"

In 2003, an unrelated internet mixtape entitled "The 'E' True Hollywood Mixtape" by Eminem, was released.
