    It warms my heart seeing Canibus get love, man. This guy spent the bulk of his career taking shots and he still has love for Hip-Hop. The man deserves every flower he gets. Yeah he made some mistakes along the way but he was trying to navigate the murky waters - and a lot of the time, he was trying to do it alone. Or at least with people who maybe didn't have the best intentions in mind.
    Salute to Canibus, man. I'll always be grateful for his contribution and I just hope he knows he has an army of supporters who love him for who he is and what he has brought to the table. I picked up every CD I could get my hands on. His first album was expensive for me to buy back in my teenage years, because it was an import. Back then, you used to get 3 CD's for £10 and I spent £15 on his. It was a choice between his album or 3 others. I never regretted that purchase and I still have it today.

    • @ThirteenAmp
      @ThirteenAmp Рік тому +16

      He's a phenomenal lyricist but he isn't close to the greatest, he's more or less 1 track minded, his rhymes from any album would fit with rhymes from other albums, he doesn't do story telling much for example, doesn't have dense esoteric verses that you have to break down with a dictionary like Aesop Rock or MF DOOM
      His songs are 98% "I'll bash ya, lyrically smash ya, with a shotgun like a front seat passenger" he's a punchline emcee with the likes from Chino XL, Royce 59, Crooked I (King Crook), Ortiz, Big L, Copywrite (mainly old) etc etc, he's punchlines and battle rhymes with a small bit of weird scientific (somewhat conspiracy) concepts. All his albums are the same topics and lyrical exercises (he spent 4 albums talking about lyrical fitness before he switched to lyrical law)

Just go back and listen to those of you who may not have been paying attention to this dude in the late 90s. You either weren't old enough yet, not born yet or you were living under a rock. Thanks to the internet, you can still hear it all. And remember, he was just a kid back then. He had to always rhyme last on a track because you would be crazy to try to spit after him in those days when he was young and hungry. I'd argue that nobody really had anything for this guy when he was in his prime.

      I think they didn't want him in the limelight because they had other plans for hip-hop to go in a different direction. And the super-enlightened, intellectually superior, well-rounded, masculine confident style of a rapper like Canibus didn't fit into their plans.
      The year 2000 all the major labels joined and formed a super conglomerate. Soon after began the shift towards digitization of music, improvement of technology but degradation of the art. They did not want an intelligent, straight Black man with advanced thought and impeccable speech to be popular. They had to do everything possible to discredit and "blackball" him.

    Learned ALOT about Canibus with just the clips. I'm excited to check into the full episode. Sidenote: Ya'll need more southern rap legends on the show. 8 Ball & MJG, Ghetto Mafia, Young Bloodz, Outkast Members, Goodie Mob Members, Get stories from both Northen and Southern rap artists, would be great to simultaneously getting stories and information from both, hopefully MEP can bridge the gap between southern artists and northern. How often do we hear the south and the north collaborate?? RARE!!!!! You all have the established platform, make it happen by getting them on and sharing their stories. I believe people will eventually, serendipitously gel the two cultures, southern and northern and realize ITS ALL HIP-HOP/RAP, come from the same struggle but maybe just with some different flavors in the mix.
    Folk stop hating on Bigga finding peace, the streets of NY clearly adopted him and he adapted to his adoption, bravo to the homie for consistently attempting to walk a different path.
    Dont get caught in the hype wave math hoffa, you/you all are doing the damn thing. Lets beware of allowing our egos as men to turn strong shows like this into gossip forums, and petty podcaster beef, dont want strong shows like this to turn into the male version of Ricky Lake or Wendy Williams, focued on the drama and "tea" of others. Lets keep getting the good stories of triumph, success with this hip hop game in whatever form or fashion hip hop served you/you life to elevate you to higher existences of this living world.
    Later on M.E.O

    Canibus deserves so much respect. And I hate how so many people try to revise history, saying that he was overrated. Rappers from Jay Z to Nas, Eminem to Rakim, Big Pun to DMX, the entire Wu Tang Clan, and more were all either praising him or too scared to rhyme with him. He was obviously an influence for modern day battle rap. His skills need to be known by the broader hip hop audience.

      @@user-sd2km1js1w I revisited Mic Club before responding to your comment and yes it is very much worthy to be in my top 3 Canibus albums. I found myself replaying multiple tracks over and over again. The tracks that stood out the most to me were "Poet Laureate" and "Curriculum 101". I would place Mic Club at #3 on my list. No tracks are "skipable" (I made that up). However, Can-I-Bus has tracks that I skipped past so when I compare it to Mic Club it's not as compelling. I prefer the Stoupe production on Rip the Jacker over the Mic Club production though. I also prefer 2000 B.C. production over Mic Club production.
      So yea, Mic Club is a very good mention. I just had to be reminded of that.

Truly the most incredible man ice ever come across and seen him in the interview made me emotional coz I wish sometimes guys like him knew the truth that we admire gladiators like him, it's like knowing Jesus and Jesus didn't know he's Jesus...pure bravery and power but humble and true. I touched her feet when he come to South Africa and blessed us with the greatest most legendary concert in Johannesburg I was front row and he looked at me lol honestly it made me beleieve I could do anything coz I saw a God and he's real I saw him and he's human like me I acknowledge after honoring him with naming my son after him. If ever someone tells what I saying lol I know most people are laughing at my long crazy comment but it's all true and I wish one day to meet just to thank him personally for saving my life with just the blessing of knowing and living in a time where he lived too and we all know it's rare to see some who played the ultimate price for teaching us unknowingly that life can be a beautiful story if u give it your everything and been content with himself even though no one ever had the balls to show him that everyone know he's the God of rap and truely the king of hip hop and hip hop is sound that brings life to guys like me who never had or known the best of the best. Thank Bus! My God bless u and give u many more years and wealth , peace and contentment for giving us the same unknowingly. Long live I'll never forget u 👩‍👧‍👦👊

    I can't remember which one I discovered first come to think of it..em or bus but man... as a hip hop fan I was torn and excited qt the same time to hear what was coming next with these 2!! I love the real old school era for the good time memories but my favorite era in hip hop was the mid to late 90s albums and how they were put together like a book. A beginning and end and I love the battles and the dvd/mixtape era maybe the most for content always coming out everyday!! Wish the mixtapes were still as good as the early 2000s! That said this interview is what made me relive all those feelings because canibus was a underground rapper whole could also enter the mainstream too and hearing him and ems underground stuff helped put me on to other rappers who weren't that well known at the time. I really love the hip hop culture. Everybody stay safe! Thanks for the memories!

    His new material is just as complex and passionate, hard beats too - Kaiju etc.
    Bis is a legend, a myth and essentially an author in lyric form. You can't overstate how vast his output is and how dense and epic some of his tracks are. Leave out the talk of LL, Em and beat choice.. fun to hear about but all that is distraction from his monkish lifetime dedication to hip-hop and the potential of rapping. He is a result of the 1997-1998 pinnacle of lyric culture. I'm not a superfan, but I grew up in that period, I remember how he came out of nowhere and seemed to always have the spotlight, imagine the pressure, but he re-earned it everytime. Just went through 6 or 7 albums of his, as well as that spectacular freestyle compilation from his first 2 years in the game. All the stories alongside golden age greats, from LL to Em to Nas... He was like an alien but mixed in slang and relateable yet original one-liners (some of the most visceral and memorable ever), a great sense of humor with seriousness and ambition. Definitely made a huge impression on Eminem, I can hear him in Lupe's ambitious tracks too. And the voice - truthfully nothing he says would be quite as ill without that polarizing voice he has. As with many geniuses he has made many choices that have confused people and seemed like they were designed to alienate casual fans. I can't sympathize with Dizaster's thesis that the game has moved on/"evolved" from him... I think it's more they involved around him, because his highest achievements haven't been touched, though maybe paralleled. But this hopefully sparks a re-evaluation of his catalog, esp. in light of Billboard's list that left off G-Rap, Prodigy, MF DOOM, Pharoahe Monch, Lupe, Raekwon, GZA, etc. etc. Seems like a good dude too. S/o the legend Canibus 👑
