    If you're not ? or homophobic, the spin on that line doesn't even come to mind. All he meant was LL doesn't have rap skills, which he clearly explained in the lines before.

    Chill with all that ? ? .

    I remember when Bis 1st came out b4 his album dropped mid-90ish. DJ Self put together a mixtape called "Canibus vs DMX", Canibus freestyles on side A, DMX verses on side B (b4 their albums had dropped).

    To this day, Canibus's side A of that mixtape, is better and more listenable than alot of Rappers actual album (true story).

    I still got it on cassette, even though its a lil chewed.

    If i find that ? on the Internet,best believe im downloading it quick-fast!.

    I have that tape. I think my tape is part 2 but I'm not sure. Anyway, my tape has the N.O.R.E., DMX, Canibus Hot 97 freestyle. Unfortunately the DJ started the session midway through side A so it gets cut off when side A ends and you have to flip the tape over to side B.

    Has canibus ever been out-shined on a track? That aint no easy feat considering he's rhymed on tracks with Common, The Firm, Kurupt red & ? etc.

    As good as Canibus was, i wonder why a bunch of dope producers didnt flock to work with him.

    "I guess you can't write an infinite rhyme with a finite mind/ that's why rhymes like mine mystify man kind"

    Honestly that whole freestyle might have been the best radio freestyle I've ever heard. Regarding Canibus, he really started to loose steam after Rip the Jacker which is easily his best work. I think Rip the Jacker is the perfect use of his scientific style. Not too over the top. Not to mention the amazing production from Stoupe. Canibus got too involved in that NWO conspiracy theory non-sense and let it take over his music

    Poet Laureate 2 is a criminally underrated song btw.

    Here are some of his:

    Canibus at moments is easily the greatest lyricist that ever lived.

    Ayo, can you feel it?
    I know that everybody's heard of that (The Vapors)
    But this is the ninety-eight version of that

    Discovered evidence, of the disease, and documented it

    Hype-nitis

    Have it on my laptop but can't find it on YouTube, if someone else can go ahead and post it. Thanks in advance.

    Depending on whom you ask, yes or no.

    To me, Pun had the better verse on "Enemy of the State" from 1999.

    Look at a sample of who he's collaborated with:

    AZ
    Big Pun
    Busta Rhymes
    Buckshot
    Cam'ron
    Charlie Baltimore
    Chino XL
    Common
    Crooked I
    DMX
    Foxy Brown
    8-Ball
    Elzhi
    Journalist
    LL Cool J
    Lost Boyz
    Keith Murray
    Killah Priest
    Kool G Rap
    K-Rino
    KRS-One
    Kurupt
    Method Man
    Mos Def
    Nas
    Nature
    Noreaga
    Pharoahe Monch
    Planet Asia
    Rakim
    Ras Kass
    Redman
    Royce da 5'9"
    Sadat X
    Sean Price
    Slick Rick
    Styles P
    Tech N9ne
    Vinnie Paz

    and many more.

    He's arguably the greatest lyricist in hip-hop history.

    I lost all interest after Rip The Jacker. Actually it was his greatest album. but there is something tireing and annoying when you're overloaded with his material.

    Clearly Canibus has no idea how density is measured.

    Divide the mass of the object in grams by the volume in milliliters to determine the density of the object

    I'll respect his longevity tho but if there is 1 rapper i would never listen to it is him it might sound like an old clishe but this something i hear most people say he too boring
