this is smoking hot!!!! gr8 work
I wish I could take credit for this, but I stole it from a poster on the wutangcorp.com message board.
one of my fav. lyracists of all time is canibus... very underrated imo (though he had a very weak stretch when he tried to fued with eminem, and eminem ignored him) I love hip hop that makes you think and really listen to the words, and GZA fits that bill as do many others
i like canibus as well. i think the thing that did him in, as far as mainstream is concerned, is his extrememly weak first album. he was coming off crazy mixtapes and appearances, and humiliating ll fool j. if his first album was hot, as it should have been, he would be more mainstream i believe. i really like him and his lyrics are insane.
Really? I thought Canibus's first album was very good, way better than any of his other efforts (I'm refering to actual album's, not mixtapes). It's not start to finish great, but several very good tracks on it. If you think that album was weak, what do you think of his other efforts, because I think all his other albums seem to be several levels below his first album. Get Retarted, Niggometry, Second Round K.O., What's Going On, I Honor U (radio appeal but with cool Canibus style lyrics), How We Roll, all good tracks I think. I still play this album every now and then.
