It's like I don't want these Canibus interview clips to end. You can literally just listen to him speak all day. By far, one of the best interviews Hoffa has done.
Not when he joined the u.s. military who has an obvious history of constant war crimes since after WW2. Every war after was an imperialist war, killing millions in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and still deformities from babies born from bombs dropped decades ago. That's not even including dozens of other wars, war crimes and covert operations for government overthrows as the u.s. has overthrown more than 50 foreign governments to exploit resources and slave-labor for u.s. corporations. Could go on and on.
Canibus was ahead of his time. I remember being a kid and listening to "Channel Zero" and being terrified and fascinated by the stuff he was saying. Shame he isn't more well known but he's cemented his place in hip-hop history.
@@TheRealist2024 definitely. His debut album was poorly received but I think part of that was also the blowback from beefing with LL who held a lot of sway in the industry. Playing it back today, it's a damn good album. The beats could have been better,but they aren't horrible. I wonder if he hadn't beefed with LL, how his career would have ended. The industry really never was receptive to rappers like Canibus.
@@gamemods855I think that other albums 0layed part in his debut album because it was released in 1999 and thats the year a lot of big dogs in the game released their albums like dr.dre, eminem, nas, dmx, biggie and 2pac posthomous albums if im not wrong so the competition was strong and those albums had better production and if you compare it to canibus debut album people were probably thinking that the production was behind its time
This is probably the best interview from Math and Mecca. This interview is 5 mics. The best in 2023. Canibus is soooo articulate no wonder he is such a great lyricist!!! Love you guys! PAUSE….
I met Canibus a couple months ago, he did a show here and I got the Meet and Greet tickets, we chopped it up for a good hour and he told me all sorts of stories like these. I'm glad he's out there sharing them cuz I could have talked to him for hours. Heard some crazy shit. And he never said 'Eminem' he always referred to him as 'Elvis'
Elvis took songs and made it his. Eminem wrote songs and made it his totally different. Don't care about white or black. Most people from all races have to deal with poverty and being in a fucked up situation. Reason some white boys are crips, bloods and southsiders out here
The only interview that I've clapped my eyes on and been locked in.... Tremendous amount of respect for filling in the blanks of the redacted version of events.... Great interview from The Canibus Man, Good to hear cognitive rappers saying their piece
At his pinnacle, Canibus was as NICE as anyone’s ever been NICE!!! Dude was a phenomenal lyricist. Spit on a level I personally feel I’ve never heard again. Glad they did this interview. Can’t wait to watch in full.
Yeah, that's a fact he was one of the greatest lyricist in his prime one of the best ones I've seen ever he didn't have a long run, but when he was on top, it was the best lyricist out there at least one of them cannabis was crazy
He did too he was scared is all lol just say you didn’t want that smoke with Em lol 😂 booy yes or no question not the history lesson but yes or no why didn’t you clapped back at em ?
In his prime I assumed Canibus was gonna become a huge rapper because of his writing/rapping skills. Always energy in his bars, It's great to see him in an indepth interview.
You know what makes that slightly Ironic ?? I Promise you that his verse on beast from the east HAD to make a few people STOP rhyming , LMAO !! ….. shit was TOO Hard !! I literally know exactly where it was who I was with and what I was doing first time I heard that
I think Em didn't call the shots to blackball him, but the people around did. Like he was trying to explain. It's the whole of it. The people around. He pays a lot of checks.

I wish CC was still archived somewhere, I make music everyday now and that’s where I first started writing rhymes and getting into it. sharing stuff with other people, learning about other dope shit, arguing about movies games, even had the “titty bar” as a 14 yr old boy what else could I need. We should find as many of us as we can and shoot the shit would love to hear what a lot of those people are up to. My avatar was Sadist what about you guys?
This was true. LL and DefJam were against the wall. They tried to get dj's for beats and no one was submitting them. The industry were on CaniBus side.
The black balling of Canibus and the Wu-Tang radio ban altered Rap music for the worse. Wu-Tang, a band of strong men, and Canibus, a super rare iq and intellect.
Real Canibus fans know that Canibus went at Eminem on Curriculum 101 "Anybody better than Bis must be a hoax Black man? Nope What about the great white hope? What? You must be sniffing great white coke Don't you know that's like Gary Coleman fighting the Hulk IYKYK
"Matter of fact not even quite that close, a great white, biting tour runner dingy 60 miles out from the coast. What the fuk is the MATHERS with you? I'll best you blaxk & blue, then put a tattoo of me on you. A ten by ten C logo, neon blue"
@@theplanet7187 RTJ is one of his best albums and it came out in 2003...wouldn't call that late. I think some of his more recent albums were better then his early work (Lyrical Law, Melatonin Magik for example)
@@kevinkeiser_ It is late, the Canibus that everyone loves is not "Mic Club" or any of his wack albums, it's the 96' "Uni_form" freestyle, "Beast from the east", Dj Clue freestyle, the funkflex freestyle with Nore and Dmx, "Desperados" (the firm)...2000 was the beginning of the end and that's when he went "intergalactic" and started talking about gravity, stars, the space, UFO's and secret government ish...he got a whole new herd of geeky fans! Bis is good as a feat, not for an entire album, he doesn't have the stamina, he always "battle rapping", it is very rare to hear him telling us stories, ironically his best album was his first...the Clef one!
@@bigwig5395 when he said it duznt really matter, it was way before his current podcast & I think Common was there too talking about how Canibus bodied him on that joint they did. Ur question has an air of skepticism and somewhat patronizing. Im a ripper mu'fcka, I don't lie about Canibus. Look for the interview yourself, it's on the Internet somewhere.
Canibus did respond multiple times. However, he isn't lying about the industry. Compare it to now, where MGK arguably had a standing against Eminem. If you're saying MGK > Canibus... That's your opinion. But I don't think many will agree. (Including me)
@@tellmesomething2412 They both sent little shots here and there to each other but nothing substantial. "You Didn't Care" was hardly a diss to Em. "Airstrike" was a full diss but it was too late and I'm not saying MGK is better than Bis, but do you really think Airstrike was harder than MGK's diss to Em? Also, Em never really released anything substantial either.. It looked like both of them were waiting for the other to release the bomb so they could respond.
The person whose name he doesn't want to say is Loui Lombard, I think. Bis has spoken about him a few times, and even briefly mentioned how Lou screwed over Killah Priest.
I wasn't even thinking about Louie. He was all over C True and I believe Mic Club. I forgot all about that name. To be honest I thought he was talking about Harry Fox mainly because I was listening to Harry Fox Hates Hip Hop like a few weeks ago so that name was fresh in my mind so as soon as he got on the topic of not wanting to mention, Harry came to mind, shit I forgot about the falling out with Louie. That's crazy... Canibus has too many stories. He needs a podcast... I got to send him one of the Sammy The Bull podcast episodes. Bis needs to take a story at a time and upload em like Sammy does on his TH-cam... That would be so fire! He replied to a few of my comments on IG... I wonder if I could convey this idea to him. Sammy is killing it on TH-cam. Every episode he's got a 100k views or so at least... People gonna wanna hear more stories about Pun and Freaky Tah and Halle Berry and Biz and G Rap and John Forte and Mona Lisa and Mya and Yvette Michelle and DMX... Canibus has those stories... He could tell them on his own podcast. No effort on himself and get checks out of it. Why aren't we funding this?

@@uwot5308 he only burned bridges cause he was young and naïve. He thought he could go at the legends and didn’t realize there would be repercussions from the industry. The tracks he released towards LL were absolutely savage, but the Em disses were tame af. It’s not a coincidence

The thing is wouldn't have been fair. Like with LL you'll have one artist who's diss will get play 24/7 around the clock. And the other artist you'll have to do research to find his record.
Yep it was a couple rappers that said Canibus was the first one on that internet shit....but I remember when he beefed wit LL n that tape leaked of them talking but he was like yeah I was on the internet earlier they talking bout this shit (they beef) Everywhere dawg " Because if I'm not mistaken LL was tryna get Canibus to not respond to his diss.
@@ChiefKickaHo i’m pretty sure they do but we don’t let one moment overlook the greatness of his catalogue, every artist has their downs…including the popular ones
Canibus was (and still is) so talented that he raised the bar up so high for everyone else and made it impossible to be as good. He had so many lines and insane verses that he raised the bar up high for any expectations about Canibus as a rapper as well. So he was a threat to the industry and no one knew how to control this beast who only wanted to rap and showed mad respect to everyone. So they blackballed him and locked him so he won't break out free and outshine everyone. Just read his lyrics, from battle rap freestyle bars and metaphors, to "Channel Zero" to "I Honor You" to "Master Thesis" to "Owl X A Cost A" to "Poet Laureatte II"... His multidimensional talent that has real meaning and a real message is way ahead of its time. Only bad thing is that half of his beats are wack, the other half are dope as hell though.
Canibus is so interesting and human. Sees through the matrix and has been rapping about it for like 20+ years but so underappreciated and he seems to live in a slightly limited version of himself because of all the criticism over the years and even today the best interviews he does really don't touch on his true wisdom and talent and it's a shame he keeps having to lower himself and vibe with people that still don't seem to really appreciate the artist they are talking to. Like this man is capable of really breaking some shit down and he's capable of making some pretty mind boggling music if he throws off all the creative and personal limitations he puts on himself. Love ya Bus, namaste 🍄👽✝️
The man dropped the phone when they asked if that was true or not that was the energy in the room - know that what that man said was true the energy made that man dropped his phone at the same time that question was asked believe that!
"The Canibus is an animal".. One of The best to do it. Much respect to this brother. I always felt like he was a victim of poor timing-- Not his fault. When his album came out in the late 90s, quality hip hop was being pushed out the mainstream. Think abour it, B.IG had passed in 97, radio rap was becoming flashy and basic. Canibus was a golden era caliber mc! He belonged in that category with Nas and Wu, like 93-94. Its unfortunate that his debut album didnt come out in the early 90s instead of late 90s.
@@Dontdoit_ every artist u named was mainstream friendly. So u literally proved my point... Eminems marketability was whiteness; 50 was gangsterisms; dmx was initially marketed as " the second coming of 2pac;" and cassidy was co-signed by swizz beats which helped elevate cassidy... Canibus was Different from every artist u named! He had an early 90s vibe AND his lyricism was too complex for ordinary/106&park type listeners. If canibus came out in 93, he wouldve had 3 whole years,(93 to 96), to cement his name and he ***wouldve*** had widespread acclaim like nas and the wu. Instead, only rap purists give Canibus the credit he deserves. He doesnt get mass cultural recognition like Nas et al, but he Should tho
If you say Canibus can’t rap, I can’t respect you. Dude is a literal unsung goat, just wasn’t industry ready. That’s all he lacked was industry groomin
Math Hoffa wants to be apart of the institution- Canibus just said what it was and what he believes he experienced and Hoffa just straight up said he didn't believe it??!! Bad journalism
I tell everyone that dont think Canibus is the Best to read the comment on how people view him. This dude may not be human! This is the next best thing to Jesus when it comes to rap. This man poetry would have made hood dudes turn to science and computers.
“It’s Canibus! On some Stan lives shit” I always thought that line was just em mocking him and exaggerating that he was a fan or something. Now I know it’s because Canibus actually brought Stan back to life
Listening to Canibus in this interview. I was heavy into rapping but I started learning how the business worked and I just had no interest in it after that and pursued another career. It just wasn't worth the hassle.
Hoffa is milking these Canibus clips LMAO. I peeped. The Freeway clips started dropping after the Canibus clips but the whole Free episode dropped already and we still giving bite sized portions of the Bis interview. I'm not mad but I'm mad. I see the numbers, 250 thousand in 4 days for one Bis clip, 160k for another Bis clip in 6. There's Lil Cease and French Montana clips from a month ago, Troy Ave and Styles P clips from months ago that just now getting to the numbers Canibus did in a few days just niwt. I see what's happening here. I'm not mad, I just want the whole episode so I'm mad... But I'm not mad, I know it's on the way, I'm just ready to hit play and let this human archive talk for 2 hours straight. I'm ready for the whole Bis EP cause it's hard to ignore these clips. I guess I'll watch this one too hoping the next drop is the whole thing 🙏🏾
Let the brother cannabis know that paperwork never Fades away there's ways where you can scan it and bring it back so the print can be seen just get the paperwork right away and preserve the paperwork put it in plastic if it isn't already in plastic all he's got to do is scan it ASAP!
Math Hoffa spinning in his chair saying “ehhh I don’t knowwww” Inside he saying I hope the white bit don’t see this after that Styles P headache.. Respectfully math tell the truth 😂
Canibus is right. There’s probably a few guys that battled mm and won easy. But ask those guys to battle mm again and see if they win. Sometimes people believe the hype.
Was just listening to Buckingham Palace... Sheeesh. And his Clue freestyles came only second to the LOX freestyles. "I speak in frequencies dogs will have trouble hearing, Canibus is the lyrical version of German engineering..." 🔥🔥🔥 #HighSchoolDays #WordForWord
This man, Canibus, blew my fucking mind for several years when I was young. I can't really think of another rapper that was so far ahead of his time in terms of what he was talking about. I mean people are BARELY catching up to him now.
It's like I don't want these Canibus interview clips to end. You can literally just listen to him speak all day. By far, one of the best interviews Hoffa has done.
100 feel the same
hell yeah dude. this is a gret look into the Canibus story.
Yeah...He's super thorough, animated, and descriptive. To some he may seem long winded, but his details put you right there in the mix. 💪🏿💪🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
You can totally see why he was such a prolific lyricist
Absolutely
Hard to overstate how crazy it was to listen to Canibus at peak Canibus times in the mid/late 90’s. The stuff this man was saying was next level
He was a beast that was underrated in the industry.
I'm not sure he was underrated. He had a lot of hype and push behind him, but his albums didn't follow through.

@@damclev I agree

I was on that Canibus site back then... I remember listening to an audio stream he did where he explained the LL beef. This was like in '98.

We should find as many of us as we can and shoot the shit would love to hear what a lot of those people are up to. My avatar was Sadist what about you guys?
I went back to listen to 2000BC and man Canibus was way way way ahead lyrically. Mad respect
Great album! The 2000 BC song was 🔥
@@jeffreyrice4242The fuck are you talking about? We all can tell it was a hit piece on JFK, and the government covered it up.
I had "C True Hollywood Stories" the day it came out.....hella shots at Em and LL...had a few bangers, he was spittn
Word I was bumpin that shit. Dope album
I was looking into this a few weeks ago, out of curiosity. Glad to I get to hear it after so many years, from one of the people involved themselves.
This was true. LL and DefJam were against the wall. They tried to get dj's for beats and no one was submitting them. The industry were on CaniBus side.
Man I would love a Eminem and Canibus track.
eminem doesn't deserve to be on a track with bis.
They have one , but it's an NFT.
The black balling of Canibus and the Wu-Tang radio ban altered Rap music for the worse. Wu-Tang, a band of strong men, and Canibus, a super rare iq and intellect.
Real Canibus fans know that Canibus went at Eminem on Curriculum 101
"Anybody better than Bis must be a hoax
Black man? Nope
What about the great white hope?
What? You must be sniffing great white coke
Don't you know that's like Gary Coleman fighting the Hulk
IYKYK
True indeed, I bought that album on CD and knew as soon as I heard that line what bis was talking about
@@R.G.777.he literally said "what the f*** is the Mathers with you" on the song
Yes Sir.
Facts
"Matter of fact not even quite that close, a great white, biting tour runner dingy 60 miles out from the coast.
What the fuk is the MATHERS with you? I'll best you blaxk & blue, then put a tattoo of me on you.
A ten by ten C logo, neon blue"
"Rip The Jacker" is my favorite Canibus album. 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
U must've started listening to him late
@@theplanet7187 RTJ is one of his best albums and it came out in 2003...wouldn't call that late. I think some of his more recent albums were better then his early work (Lyrical Law, Melatonin Magik for example)
@@kevinkeiser_ It is late, the Canibus that everyone loves is not "Mic Club" or any of his wack albums,
it's the 96' "Uni_form" freestyle, "Beast from the east", Dj Clue freestyle, the funkflex freestyle with Nore and Dmx, "Desperados" (the firm)...2000 was the beginning of the end and that's when he went "intergalactic" and started talking about gravity, stars, the space, UFO's and secret government ish...he got a whole new herd of geeky fans!
Bis is good as a feat, not for an entire album, he doesn't have the stamina, he always "battle rapping", it is very rare to hear him telling us stories, ironically his best album was his first...the Clef one!
The 4 horsemen project was Slaughterhouse before Slaughter
Joe Rogan already told y'all that Canibus was "the 1st Internet rapper". Way ahead of his time!
When was this
He was the fjrst j knew of bjt i ddnt knw rogan cld it damn
NORE says he the first rapper typing in the stu while the others had note to pad
@@bigwig5395 when he said it duznt really matter, it was way before his current podcast & I think Common was there too talking about how Canibus bodied him on that joint they did. Ur question has an air of skepticism and somewhat patronizing. Im a ripper mu'fcka, I don't lie about Canibus. Look for the interview yourself, it's on the Internet somewhere.
@@samsneadd it's true, look for it! Come back to me when you find it.
This guy is one of the best writers of all time, listen to that first album he put out, he’s a lyrical genius.
I cannot find it anywhere. I was so saddened when him and Wyclef fell off
best writers but he needed his notebook for a battle?! FOH 😂
@@rikkidgermano9640 you are missing out. feel sorry for you.
I'll say it again, in their prime this would have been absolutely epic
YES!!! Smh We missed out man.
What prime?! He still had a momentum but killed it when bringing his notebook to a battle 😂
@@rikkidgermano9640 Canibus's prime lyrically was from about '97-'03...
Canibus did respond multiple times. However, he isn't lying about the industry. Compare it to now, where MGK arguably had a standing against Eminem. If you're saying MGK > Canibus... That's your opinion. But I don't think many will agree. (Including me)
@@tellmesomething2412 They both sent little shots here and there to each other but nothing substantial. "You Didn't Care" was hardly a diss to Em. "Airstrike" was a full diss but it was too late and I'm not saying MGK is better than Bis, but do you really think Airstrike was harder than MGK's diss to Em? Also, Em never really released anything substantial either.. It looked like both of them were waiting for the other to release the bomb so they could respond.
Thank god for streaming apps. Been bumping his first two albums all week.
nice
Amazing interview. Canibus really that dude. His energy is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Canibus is a legend in hip hop.
I hope this interview gets Canibus on many more podcasts! 🙏🏻
@@ftbmusicgroup agreed, but I believe he can handle himself when necessary
Canibus is one clever dude, Hes clued up and some!
The person whose name he doesn't want to say is Loui Lombard, I think. Bis has spoken about him a few times, and even briefly mentioned how Lou screwed over Killah Priest.
I believe your right. LOUIE LOMBARD THE 3RD IR SOMETHING LIKE THAT
He mentioned Lou Lombard Hella times on c! True hollywood
I wasn't even thinking about Louie. He was all over C True and I believe Mic Club. I forgot all about that name. To be honest I thought he was talking about Harry Fox mainly because I was listening to Harry Fox Hates Hip Hop like a few weeks ago so that name was fresh in my mind so as soon as he got on the topic of not wanting to mention, Harry came to mind, shit I forgot about the falling out with Louie. That's crazy... Canibus has too many stories. He needs a podcast... I got to send him one of the Sammy The Bull podcast episodes. Bis needs to take a story at a time and upload em like Sammy does on his TH-cam... That would be so fire! He replied to a few of my comments on IG... I wonder if I could convey this idea to him. Sammy is killing it on TH-cam. Every episode he's got a 100k views or so at least... People gonna wanna hear more stories about Pun and Freaky Tah and Halle Berry and Biz and G Rap and John Forte and Mona Lisa and Mya and Yvette Michelle and DMX... Canibus has those stories... He could tell them on his own podcast. No effort on himself and get checks out of it. Why aren't we funding this?
Facts, I also think Lou also screwed Ras Kass over too. His label screwed over Jedi Mind Tricks as well if I'm not mistaken.
@@chrisvigo4880 haha brings me to times when my laptop years ago was all kinda messed up and had broken fan, so I had a house fan next to it in the middle of winter typing fingers cold 😂 On top of that some alphabet like k didn't work so my friends knew that it's k when I put * or something akin.
Canibus giving in-depth explanations and speaking his truth just so Math can blow him off. What a great interviewer.
Because his truth is full of shit and always has been. He burned every bridge attached to him consistently.
@@uwot5308 nop
that's what brainwashing does
@@uwot5308 he only burned bridges cause he was young and naïve. He thought he could go at the legends and didn’t realize there would be repercussions from the industry. The tracks he released towards LL were absolutely savage, but the Em disses were tame af. It’s not a coincidence
Good interview it's alot behind the scenes people don't know about and understand
That's why this guy don't get him 7:49
LEGEND! One of the greatest EVER!
Good they letting him talk and not interrupting him
There’s no doubt if the battle happened in like the year 2000 Canibus vs Eminem woulda been epic
Probably the best that hip hop could've ever witness...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂HOW???? CANIBUS WOULDA DESTROYED FAM…..FAM IS DA BAD VERSION OF RAS KASS N REDMAN NOBODY CARES ABOUT A TRAILER PARK TRASH TO GLORY….THANX FOR 50 tho….YALL GIVE BUDDY AND DEM WEAK ASSSSS ALBUMS FULL CREDIT PAY ATTN MAN ITS THE DRE JUICE WEN HE THRU ITS OVA KENDRICK 1st album FUCKING CLASSIC CLASSIC ERRTHING ELSE 😮💨🫣…..GAME…etc ….WHITE BOY IS TRULY A HORRIBLE RAPPER…I HAVE THIS ARGUMENT ALL THE TIME FUCKING SILK THE SHOCKER OVER EMINEM ANYYYDAY…CANIBUS (2000 bc. CANIBUS) TRUMPLED OVA MARSHALL LYRICALLY…I WAS OUTSIDE IK
Maybe. I still prefer Supernat vs Juice.
The thing is wouldn't have been fair. Like with LL you'll have one artist who's diss will get play 24/7 around the clock. And the other artist you'll have to do research to find his record.
@@moxmann not really. In 2000, both Canibus & Em were both popular artists, both top tier, feared lyricists. That battle would’ve been ridiculous.
Him saying Em consigned the show should tell you everything yiu need to know
This 👆🏿
Yep it was a couple rappers that said Canibus was the first one on that internet shit....but I remember when he beefed wit LL n that tape leaked of them talking but he was like yeah I was on the internet earlier they talking bout this shit (they beef) Everywhere dawg " Because if I'm not mistaken LL was tryna get Canibus to not respond to his diss.
Dude is super articulate and barely stutters or stops and just keeps the conversation flowing. Canibus' rapping even when he's not rapping.
true dat
All respect to Bis, legend, killer on a mic. Im waiting for the note pad question🤨
This dude has nothing to prove... Absolute legend to ever pick a mic🔥
Remember when he brought a notebook to a battle?! He has everything to prove!!!
@@rikkidgermano9640 Facts! It seems like nobody in the comments knows about that shit
@@ChiefKickaHo i’m pretty sure they do but we don’t let one moment overlook the greatness of his catalogue, every artist has their downs…including the popular ones
C True Hollywood Stories had some of the best Canibus songs. I loved that album.
Canibus was (and still is) so talented that he raised the bar up so high for everyone else and made it impossible to be as good. He had so many lines and insane verses that he raised the bar up high for any expectations about Canibus as a rapper as well. So he was a threat to the industry and no one knew how to control this beast who only wanted to rap and showed mad respect to everyone. So they blackballed him and locked him so he won't break out free and outshine everyone. Just read his lyrics, from battle rap freestyle bars and metaphors, to "Channel Zero" to "I Honor You" to "Master Thesis" to "Owl X A Cost A" to "Poet Laureatte II"... His multidimensional talent that has real meaning and a real message is way ahead of its time. Only bad thing is that half of his beats are wack, the other half are dope as hell though.
Poet laureate 2 was crazy
Poet laureate is top 5 songs in Hip Hop history
Real talk. When you battle Eminem you battle the institution
@@sa-mp5iw Canibus was and is a joke compared to Pun lyrically.
@@octagonseventynine1253
I must have spit out 18 ounces of cherry coca cola in laughter after I heard this comment 😂
I had that CD, true hollywood stories, it was good. I still have it in my collection
Let the cd 💿 play brother 😎💯💎
Canibus is so interesting and human. Sees through the matrix and has been rapping about it for like 20+ years but so underappreciated and he seems to live in a slightly limited version of himself because of all the criticism over the years and even today the best interviews he does really don't touch on his true wisdom and talent and it's a shame he keeps having to lower himself and vibe with people that still don't seem to really appreciate the artist they are talking to. Like this man is capable of really breaking some shit down and he's capable of making some pretty mind boggling music if he throws off all the creative and personal limitations he puts on himself. Love ya Bus, namaste 🍄👽✝️
This is what people don't get - Bis is one of the greatest and it's a damn shame people don't get it. You are in the minority.
If you add up all the views Canibus has gotten on the show so far, he's 2x platinum
💯💯💯💎
troll
Canibus was ahead of his time on the internet with his own site in 98. He used to interact with fans on the message boards.
Woow!
The man dropped the phone when they asked if that was true or not that was the energy in the room - know that what that man said was true the energy made that man dropped his phone at the same time that question was asked believe that!
Great observation God.

"The Canibus is an animal".. One of The best to do it. Much respect to this brother. I always felt like he was a victim of poor timing-- Not his fault. When his album came out in the late 90s, quality hip hop was being pushed out the mainstream. Think abour it, B.IG had passed in 97, radio rap was becoming flashy and basic. Canibus was a golden era caliber mc! He belonged in that category with Nas and Wu, like 93-94. Its unfortunate that his debut album didnt come out in the early 90s instead of late 90s.
“An Animal with the mechanical mandible.”- Canibus
Idk. Out that lates 90’s early 2000’s brought DMX,Em, 50, Cassidy, etc.
@@Dontdoit_ every artist u named was mainstream friendly. So u literally proved my point... Eminems marketability was whiteness; 50 was gangsterisms; dmx was initially marketed as " the second coming of 2pac;" and cassidy was co-signed by swizz beats which helped elevate cassidy... Canibus was Different from every artist u named! He had an early 90s vibe AND his lyricism was too complex for ordinary/106&park type listeners. If canibus came out in 93, he wouldve had 3 whole years,(93 to 96), to cement his name and he ***wouldve*** had widespread acclaim like nas and the wu. Instead, only rap purists give Canibus the credit he deserves. He doesnt get mass cultural recognition like Nas et al, but he Should tho
@@exclusivefootage6704 comin to damage you, spittin understandable slang at you
no tf he not
I actually copped “C True Hollywood Stories”…High School memories!!!
Labels taking Canibus' plates to eat off by cutting his show money is crazy foul!!!
It's illegal AF and unethical but I bet Hov did it to to his competition
.i remember that whole Stan thing canibus did & it had me scratchin my head lol
Canibus doesn’t need to prove the 18 million hits on his site from 97-98, I believe it, he was on 🔥 at that time
First rapper with his own website 97'
I remember C-True Hollywood stories. As soon as I saw Canibus album, I bought it. It was an ok album. I can say I'm a fan of Canibus til this day.
Bis is a mega beast 👑 and I rock with D12 🔥🔥🔥 rip Big Proof 🙏🏾 🕊
Detroit alllll dayyy 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💯
Salutes to the HRSMN
They trying to milk CANIBUS for every clip ❗️Canibus the GOAT the interview like 2 weeks old.🤣🤣
If you say Canibus can’t rap, I can’t respect you. Dude is a literal unsung goat, just wasn’t industry ready. That’s all he lacked was industry groomin
That and his beats were trash. Dude could rap for a year and then completely fell off
I wouldn’t say unsung goat but he was dope
Canibus is the only man who i've seen pull out a notebook during a rap battle. Most embarrassing thing ever
Can i bus... A blessing to this hip hop shit🙏🏿 respect forever king C ❤️
Canibus will always be a legend to me. He was way ahead of his time.
I was all set to edit video, but you got Canibus on here!
He literally talking to the kind of dudes that don't wanna believe the ultimate hip hop conspiracy.
Math Hoffa wants to be apart of the institution- Canibus just said what it was and what he believes he experienced and Hoffa just straight up said he didn't believe it??!! Bad journalism
Math not here to boost him. Just give him a quick look
I tell everyone that dont think Canibus is the Best to read the comment on how people view him. This dude may not be human! This is the next best thing to Jesus when it comes to rap. This man poetry would have made hood dudes turn to science and computers.
MMMMMAAAAN I JUST LISTENED TO "BEAST FROM THE EAST" for the first time......
bro i heard it when i was 7 changed my life
he just dropped a new album im listening to it now

Yo I had Canibus' C Tru Hollywood story album. It was dope.
You might be the only one lol.

Nah it was horrible
One question turned into 5 different stories 😂😂..
love Canibus though, definitely one of the most slept on lyricist ever 🙌🏽
I believe canibus is telling the truth
“It’s Canibus! On some Stan lives shit” I always thought that line was just em mocking him and exaggerating that he was a fan or something. Now I know it’s because Canibus actually brought Stan back to life
LOL. You're so late.
Yes I remember the record. I actually bought that album from the store
One of the dopest emcee to do it.
Listening to Canibus in this interview. I was heavy into rapping but I started learning how the business worked and I just had no interest in it after that and pursued another career. It just wasn't worth the hassle.
Best guest to this point
Hoffa is milking these Canibus clips LMAO. I peeped. The Freeway clips started dropping after the Canibus clips but the whole Free episode dropped already and we still giving bite sized portions of the Bis interview. I'm not mad but I'm mad. I see the numbers, 250 thousand in 4 days for one Bis clip, 160k for another Bis clip in 6. There's Lil Cease and French Montana clips from a month ago, Troy Ave and Styles P clips from months ago that just now getting to the numbers Canibus did in a few days just niwt. I see what's happening here. I'm not mad, I just want the whole episode so I'm mad... But I'm not mad, I know it's on the way, I'm just ready to hit play and let this human archive talk for 2 hours straight. I'm ready for the whole Bis EP cause it's hard to ignore these clips. I guess I'll watch this one too hoping the next drop is the whole thing 🙏🏾
I hear you King! I see exactly what you seeing 👀 🤔
lol word i didn't even notice that
Drop that science God
Let the brother cannabis know that paperwork never Fades away there's ways where you can scan it and bring it back so the print can be seen just get the paperwork right away and preserve the paperwork put it in plastic if it isn't already in plastic all he's got to do is scan it ASAP!
Canibus was way ahead of his time!
Math Hoffa spinning in his chair saying “ehhh I don’t knowwww”
Inside he saying I hope the white bit don’t see this after that Styles P headache..
Respectfully math tell the truth 😂
Canibus is right. There’s probably a few guys that battled mm and won easy. But ask those guys to battle mm again and see if they win. Sometimes people believe the hype.
I loved c true Hollywood stories 😸
Canibus one of the best that ever did it, period, point blank! 🎤👑
Let’s goooooooooo 💯💎
Was just listening to Buckingham Palace... Sheeesh. And his Clue freestyles came only second to the LOX freestyles. "I speak in frequencies dogs will have trouble hearing, Canibus is the lyrical version of German engineering..." 🔥🔥🔥 #HighSchoolDays #WordForWord
Canibus is too intelligent. He can't do wrong in my eyes.
Why?
It's crazy how life is played out in fragments of the Corinthians page 202 the subject matter of the conversation kind of reminded me of that💯☝️......
This man, Canibus, blew my fucking mind for several years when I was young. I can't really think of another rapper that was so far ahead of his time in terms of what he was talking about. I mean people are BARELY catching up to him now.
