Thats like the ultimate contradiction.......because......when the same thing said about.......lets say

Em or Lupe......Niggas come out the woodwork to defend lyricism......
Waka and Gucci....niggas come out the woodwork to say much we need lyrical artist....

but i said that to say this.......i never heard no-one lyrically on Canibus level......
from a lyrical stand point.......homey have smashed just about everyone in everyone top 5 lyric wise.....

to the T/S........... i said this several months back.......niggas want to say who is the best lyrically.....but niggas run when u brang up Can-I-bus

niggas gonna come out and say wahtrever tho.....this an opinion board......

No one is saying bis is the goat, far from it. He has flaws in song content consistency and album catolugues(the only albums k like from him really are 2000 B.C and mic club(that's a lyrical masterpiece) but even those are 3-4 mics at best. I'm just trying to say from

a lyrical standpoint(complexity,flow, wordplay, multis, ryhmes scheme) at his best he has no equal. IMO

trust I understand what u are sayin..........We aint talkin about as an EMCEE .....we talkin about lyricist......but nobody has yet to show Canibus's catalouge demonstatring those skills...... sure he might write a verse and in that verse, he might show a line or two that demonstrates those type of skills......but not like Lupe or Em.......

He doesn't have the greatest flow far from it

It won't happen.
Canibus has NO cohesion.
Just rhymes.

The words he chooses to incorporate represent deep concepts, but he uses them incorrectly and establishes no connection between them.

Canibus is deep as far as content......a very different emcee as far as norms go......but lyrically.....aint too much there.........

MVPbrodie, we have the same standard of lyricism......but even in your standard, canibus cant fuck with em or lupe

Actually, the Black Eminem is AZ. Please listen to his verse on Executive Decision, and tell me that Eminem didn't bite his style. This song was released years before Eminem came out.



Don't get me wrong, I luv Eminem, but I'm just giving credit where credit is due. As for Canibus, he's the only rapper that could fuck with Eminem. I can't figure out which one of them are better, after Canibus dropped the C of tranquility I thought he was the best, now that I'm hearing recovery, I think Eminem is better. When it comes down to it, Eminem has a better flow, and Canibus has better rhymes.
