i think this guy has only 1 weak album (c true hollywood stories) but everything he's released is very good. can-i-bus, 2000 b.c, mic club, rip the jacker, hip hop for sale.

what do you think about canibus?

He tried to get too intellectual, but yeah, he's nice.

i personally think he's wack as ****
it's just im a megasaurical burbatortional rhyming clamidia spittin draconion rhymes killin billions or some other forced ****

He's not an Mc, 'mc' is not the same as 'plain rapper' and lyricist is not the same either you can be each and or the other but they are not the same thing.

I like his fued with LL other than that as Godz said he trys to hard.

Flavor Flav was more of a true MC than Canibus is.

Agreed, very lyrical, very underrated mc.

Amazing MC but what ruins him is his beats
rip the jacker was prolly his best album
he needs to hook up with stoupe again

i can't really deal with his voice.
it's difficult to get past.

2000 B.C. is one of the best lyrical albums ever.

His freestyles were crazy back in the day... DOnt know when this one was made though.

Super lyrical ,too nice,but bad production and management by Wyclef!!!!

Tries too hard, some of his act seems contrived...like Doom. He has his nice moments though. His verse on "Beasts......" is still one of the 5 most incredible verses I have ever heard.

Canibus is one of my favorite lyricists, he's had some show stealing guest verses and I even enjoyed his first l.p that was produced by Wyclef....

this is my favorie Bis freestyle

although the reason I like this freestyle more is because of DMX's antics in the video than Bis' lyrics

@ about the 1:40 mark the joyful exuberance DMX displays when Canibus raps about his skills of eating *****s asses is priceless

Canibus is in my top 3 for sure. I can't wait for his next album, hopefully it gets some dope production like Rip The Jacker did.

Cannibus is the ****. The thing is, you dont make it big on freestyles alone. You have to know how to make a hook, make a real song. Not just flow every single track.

Why do you think papoose fell off? And Immortal Technique hasn't blow up? Not because they aren't great, its because they don't make dope hooks, don't make a real track. They just flow.


Example. Lupe Fiasco. Lyrical out the ass, no homo. He is successful because he can make a real track. Another example is Wayne. He is only great because he fools dumb *****s with his hooks. Otherwise he goes on and on about nonesense, just dumb **** that rhymes and doesn't make sense. Add some synthsizers and all the idiots are on his jock.

That's pretty much it. Although, Lupe isn't really on the same level as 50 or Wayne in terms of mainstream appeal, mainly because of his lyrics - they go over peoples' heads and they generally aren't club bangers.

As for Bis, he's at the point where he knows he's not going to blow up in the mainstream so he's getting into some real creative ****.

LL vs Canibus doc
