Well here's Canibus Central's version of how Canibus got to where he is now. Half of y'all won't read this shit coz you already know it, but for you beginners, read this. It's the most accurate and extensive Canibus Bio on the www that I know of. Every site has a Canibus bio, so I thought Canibus Central should have one too, so here it is. Canibus. Where do you start? He is, in my opinion, the most gifted emcee in the field of battling that I have ever heard. His very large vocabulary and sharp wit coupled with his raw voice and incredible talent to rhyme words together make him a pure battling machine. Any emcee I know of would fear battling Canibus. Just ask LL Cool J. hahaha! But that's not to say Canibus begins and ends with battling. Canibus is innovative, More... (Submit New Canibus Lyrics) (Submit New Canibus Lyrics) Better Late Then Never To Educate All Of You! | Reviewer: HIP HOP JUNKIE ------ About the song Poet Laureate II performed by Canibus Alot of you sound like you dont know real hip hop. Yes I enjoy Canibus like some of you, but you all seem to comercial for me. You need to did deep into underground hip hop and you will find a true MCEE. For me to give examples would be foolish. Its people like most of you that ruin hip hop. So i will keep underground shit the way they like,on the underground. Canibus is cool I like the bars, but educate yourself, PLEASE canibus will ever run out of things to say | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About artist/band Canibus canibus is the illest mc that u niggaz ever set I's on his metaphorical lyrics places him above all these little bitch wanna b rappers to day they all sound the same yo let me here somthin else 4 real Naysayers are wrong | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Poet Laureate II performed by Canibus Canibus isn't like Nas at all. His diction actually has deeper meaning and 'bus says it right here in this song: "Not just spittin a poem there's much more involved there's much more pieces of the puzzle for you to solve" One of the greatest never given the respect he deserves... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Poet Laureate II performed by Canibus I have been a fan since his Clue freestyle over the Brickhouse beat. I have Bought all of his albums (some twice and three times). He truly is the greatest in my eyes as a lyricist, maybe not an mc working the crowd. He no longer fits in to hip hop on a commercial level, but that is what makes him great. They need to teach a class on his lyrics in college. One thing you must say, he never sold out like Em did with some corny I'mn the real shady crap, he always brings it raw, always! If you don't appreciate the master-bus, I thank you a thousand times over, because he wouldn't be the Canibus we all know and love and what hip-hop needs him to be, the dark savior. He helped me through many a hard time with his music and heart, just plain inspiring some of the verses he has laid out, just plain raw. " took an oath to rip everything I get on..." Summary: The sickest lyricist of time Dope. | Reviewer: Benji ------ About the song Poet Laureate II performed by Canibus Some of the stuff he drops in this song is hollow rhetoric, and sure, a lot of the references are just showing off how well read 'Bus is, but don't we all do that? Whenever we say "Oh, I read this book by Derrida" or whatever, we are consciously or subconsciously hoping people heap accolades on us for being so worldly and informed. I like this song, there are a few bits that suck and he should have just kept the intelligentsia approach and not mentioned luxury cars and so forth. The beats are fucking ridiculously good, but the samples at the start and end are unnecessary. All in all, this song is well above your average hip-hop jam and a lot of the references will be straight over listeners' heads, but Canibus knows his shit. David Hume is fresh. dont be a HAAAATTTTEEEEEEERRRRRR | Reviewer: anony ------ About the song Poet Laureate II performed by Canibus I cant uderstand how some of you can listen to this song and not hear genius in lyrics and rythym. Canibus is college educated and military trained. his intelligence and worldliness shouldnt even be questioned. And as far as him not being deep... he never claimed to be a philosopher. he is just what the song, poet laureate, claims...a poet. he never compared himself to david hume or thomas kinkade, he just set himself apart from every other rapper in the world and displayed his thirst for knowledge. and as far as him just being another 'cocky rapper': "maybe i am self-absorbed, but thats the effect, to find the cause you should ask my A&R." dont be a HAAAAATTTTEEEERRRRRRRR lyrical content of PL 2 | Reviewer: Cure for the Cancer ------ About the song Poet Laureate II performed by Canibus People on here comparing this lyrical masterpiece to Lil' Wayne are seriously confused. Yes, there is a lot of braggadoccio in this song, but come on people, that is Hip Hop...the song is not just him "rapping about how great he is"...but also talks about the hardships of trying to be an MC and how hard he worked, particularly once the beat switches he gets into a more reflective tone and then proceeds to chastise the current state of Hip Hop, a form of backpacking not braggadoccio. The title of the song implies that he is rapping about how great he is, but the song is just as much about reflecting on the lack of intellectualism in Hip Hop culture "No one gives a fuck anymore, no one goes to the bookstore" and a general call to elevate. i was nice b4 ice b4... | Reviewer: musa ------ About artist/band Canibus yo canibus is da bomb.m;fucken LL can;t spit shit.yall niggaz agree wit me dat when it comes to the mic canibus rocks yall.canibus is samson b4 a thousand soldiers armed w donkey jaw & wreck all yall.the undisputed,undefeated,micro4ne sanctifier,jaw breaker,reap the jacker,king of e mic....... flip shit wit the ballistic characteristic | Reviewer: robert tom ------ About artist/band Canibus u cant stop the beast from the east. all y all bitch niggaz can eat a dic.wy u frontin wyt boy candy ass name.ladiz l cool wat suck a canibus dic & sale y freak body 4 vanity.u knuclehead brain washed brizzles,cant jump agroove off ma bake u burn,rubber face rappers.the saga continues.canibus keep it real dawg poet laureate infinity | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Poet Laureate II performed by Canibus Jo people, does anybody has the lyrics of poet laureate Infinity???? that song is truelly the most mindblowing rhyme ever heard. 1000 bars. I've got the lyrics but not in good order. very confusing. props Oldstyler Adds nothing? | Reviewer: Immanuel Kadafi ------ About the song Poet Laureate II performed by Canibus I call bullshit on the detractors. You're both (if not the same person) probably arrogant pseudo-intellectuals whose inadequate intelligence doesn't provide you the resources to extract depth from the song - or anything else for that matter. You're the kind of nitwits who would look at this line: "To touch is to be touched" [1], spaz out because you can't grasp the Philosophic OVERTONES, and deride others for marveling in others' comprehension [2], as well as debasing the content of the work, ignorantly. Canibus skillfully plays the role of an Apologist. Every verse builds up to very poignant propositions that are poetically explicated in a thorough manner and ultimately draw to an obvious, but nevertheless well defended and definite conclusion. In short: shut the fuck up; you honestly have no clue what you're talking about. [1] From Sartre: "The Look". Alterity. [2] From Machiavelli: "The Prince". Politics. Lyrical Master | Reviewer: Shane "C" ------ About the song Lost @ "C" performed by Canibus This track is written by a pure genius, the lyrics are so sick it's untrue! Canibus has blown any one in the industry away wit this one, no one come close! Rappers aren't geniuses | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Poet Laureate II performed by Canibus It annoys me that people can't respect a rapper without blowing it out of proportions. The metaphors don't actually add anything, they're just a chance to show off his ability to string together esoteric references. They don't clarify anything or add anything. Canibus is a lot like Nas. It's never as deep as it sounds. Unlike seemingly everyone that posted, I actually know what he's talking about, and I can tell you it doesn't mean that much. And BTW, Canibus recorded the lyrics before the beat existed. You can thank Stoupe (the producer) for how well they go together. It's not that complicated | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Poet Laureate II performed by Canibus For all you people out there mesmerized by the intelligence that went into this...don't be. His lyrical ability is great, that doesn't mean he's a genius. The whole song is basically about himself being the greatest rapper ever. The metaphors aren't any more meaningful than the usual things you here, he just goes into highly technical, esoteric information (which doesn't actually add anything to the song other than sounding cool), or glorifies himself by painting his actions as religious or philosophical when he's just rapping about how great he is. And you can go through his entire catalogue, you'll find that the philosophy never goes any further than a sound bite that fits neatly into a cool-sounding punchline. I wouldn't be surprised if he surfed wikipedia when he wrote his songs. To put it simply: Canibus' ability to put complicated words together is what makes this song great. The actual messages and meaning in this song are no deeper than something you'd get from lil Wayne (and that's not a compliment). Nas is the same way. It's never as deep as it sounds. Pure genius | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Poet Laureate II performed by Canibus This song is definetly one if the illest songs I have ever heard lyrically. But the main reason I wanted to comment this is in response to Raw Meats comment about Eminem. While I won't deny that Canibus is the better lyricist you aren't giving Eminem enough credit. Yes his Encore and The Re-Up were garbage but Eminem is still one of the best rappers of all time. His first two well known LP's really show his genius. His first album Infinite was also sick. Check out the lyrics for the song Infinite. His rhyme schemes were some of the sickest ever back then. HOT | Reviewer: ISAIAH ------ About the song Reebok Commercial Part 1 performed by Canibus DAT IS 2 RAW I DIDNT KNO HE DID DAT 4 REEBOK BIS IS RAW its blesphemy to try2match him | Reviewer: Bonie sakwa,Nairobi kenya ------ About the song Poet Laureate II performed by Canibus wow!what was all that!the first time i read the song i thought i was in a science fiction cum philosophy,i dont know if it was poetry or what,probably a metamophosis of some alien laureatsm.without reasonable doubt the illest mcee of all tym,fffffffff*********cccccccckkkkkkk Eminem is the best. | Reviewer: Husky ------ About the song Poet Laureate II performed by Canibus What are you talking about Raw Meat? Eminem is the best because he doesn't need to use confusing metaphors to be the center of the focus. This guy writes five pages of lyrics for a song and still can't beat Eminem.He killed Eminem?? Eminem made everyone to laugh at canibus. He won the beef. It wasn't even a beef, Eminem destroyed him with one song. poet laureate II | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Poet Laureate II performed by Canibus poet laureate,poet laureate,poet laureate..haha wow i like all the comments i read but like it or not like he said"He was the illest alive but nobody would face it,he spit till his toungue was too torched to taste it"so you all know whats the kid is all about a sick lyrical genius and even i dont understand how a writer could ever get writer's block, so called My problem is having too much.. and being unable to get it down... What did u expect?? | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Poet Laureate II performed by Canibus He's 100% Jamaican so you should be expecting something like that. Jamaican's are responsible for hip hop and music remixing. google it. the founders are Cool Herc(hip hop) and Lee Scratch Perry(remixing) check it out! i'm next on that list. no bragging.
