Man I can tell you from personal experience...I actually met and had a good long 15 minute conversation with Canibus after a show he did in Vernon NJ (Mountain creek). I wasn't even supposed to be back stage and his bouncers nearly kicked me out until I started talking to him and he told them to back off. I was very "awe stricken", but still could gather myself up enough to talk to him about everything I've ever dreamed of, from the lyricism and music, to his ideas on metaphysics and concepts he depicts in his songs...then basically just thanking him and telling him to keep doing what he's doing no matter what the haters or anyone else says, before giving my peace and getting out of there *he* thanked me, for being a supporter of his music, and gave me his personal email. So from what I can tell you, I never saw him in the light you depict, as an asshole or arrogant or self entitled. The only thing I can say in regards to that, maybe his ego is big, because at that show there wasn't a big crowd, but he did all his most popular songs until the crowd wanted him to do 100 bars, to which he simply said, " Oh no, ya'll ain't ready for me to break that out here, this isn't big enough" but so what? I still support him even after the unfortunate king of the dot battle where he basically shot himself...but I digress
Canibus sat at a table with Big Pun, Mic Geronimo, um DMX in his prime, others... legends... and he had the nerve to think he should spit last amongst literal giants at that time... He never humbled himself and let producers produce etc... he could have been special but he made almost every career error... from thinking wyclef and him was a good match, to turning down DJ Premier beats, to beefing with everyone, to getting destroy by Diz, to everything he's ever done...
Canibus is the most underrated rapper tbh, he needs more attention for his art. He wasn't a sellout like some of these rappers, even though it's not bad, he will always be a pure person as well as a rapper
I've always loved "Helen's Song" from Candyman, deep song that Pierce's your heart. Been a huge fan of Jedi Mind Tricks since '98 and Canibus for as long as I can remember. This is one of the best songs I'll ever hear in my life as everything I love and admire about what I truly love is all Incorporated right into this song. damn this is good!!
Stoupe is blessed with choosing excellent classics and turn em into rap beats. This is what sold me on JMT and anything Stoupe produces. Man is a genius!!
The best Canibus song of all time is Buckingham Palace, not on this LP. The fact that Canibus had nothing outside of rapping to do with this album is pretty damning on his shooting himself in the foot over and over. He needs to rap and then shut the fuck up. He turned down DJ Premier's beat for what turned into D'angelo - Devil's Pie... He is an absolute moron
For whom the beat tolls? Lyrical law isnt as easy on the ears but, C of Tranquility? He released 2 EPs last month, I like how someone put it in one comment "canibus levelled up"

Can you imagine the level of dopeness a "Soul on Ice" style Ras Kass and a "Rip The Jacker" style Canibus collaboration album would have? I can only dream.
" I was exhausted, I guessed my work will never pay off But if it happened it to Him, it could happen to me And if it happened to me, it was destined to be" Yo bis, you never got the respect you deserve from this community. But a few people, me included, understood your genius and are here for you because we know there's never gonnna be another canibus. (and this is coming from one of the biggest eminem fans, just to let you know we know how to be objective)
Both lyrical genius. Different style and direction but both amazing in their own way. Tbh I couldn't objectively pick one over the other. Tempted to say Canibus but I'd be lying. I'm simply biased... hope this sparks no debate not the goal here Edit: Rereading this comment and still can't pick one over the other.
"The Rosetta Stone of sentences for rap music's tentative entered apprentices, this is Genabis" When I heard this I questioned my existence in the universe 😳
Cause this was my joint for so long and I just found out after watching canyman again. It was funny because as the movie played I kept hearing canibus' voice in my head and I'm like wait canibus sampled this beat. I listened to the song and there it was. I just thought it was brilliant afterward. Then posted my reaction.
You know what I meant. Its obvious that Canibus don't produce. But Stoupe did a great job and had good vision to make this track. Probably one of the best tracks in history. But Canibus is one of those Emcees that wont be fully appreciated until he's gone. But the song is straight fire.
Tbh stoupe and bis should've formed a duo after this album, or better yet canibus could've joined JMT, honestly they go so well together I'm surprised they didn't make another project after this one again, what a masterpiece
Estoy seguro que la gente que habla español en todas partes de Hispanoamérica conocen al gran letrista Canibus. De todas formas pongo el primer verso traducido para que vean en que ambiente se encuentra este MC: En el principio descubrí el "juego de palabras" Experimenté con algunas silabas en el segundo y el tercer día En el cuarto día busqué que palabras decir, cómo comprimir la verbosidad compleja en la menor cantidad de espacio Era perfecto en ello y dominé las tácticas En el quinto día decidí que lo combinaría con matemáticas En el sexto día me volví un fanático y no podía deshacerme del hábito Me miraba en el espejo y practicaba En el séptimo ciclo tuve que tomarme el día libre Estaba agotado Supuse que mi trabajo nunca daría frutos, pero si le pasó a él, podría pasarme a mí y si me pasase a mí, estaba destinado a ser así
Stoupe took that candy man theme and crafted this masterpiece, Bus will be heralded as the goat many years from now they’ll dissect his lyrics and find all the knowledge woven in the rhymes no doubt in my mind who the best ever is my homeboy Canibus!!
I'm glad to say I'm old and grew up listening to dude!! HighSchool was amazing because of him and his lyrics!! Rap fell of around this time!! FUGGN FACTS BITCHES
Yo when I was young listening to this joint, I always wondered what beat this was. This the candyman joint, I remember first hearing this shit like canibus was that nigga
@fonkymaster that guy on the other post was right. You are always hating on bis. Yet you keep listening to his flows. I think your subconscience disagrees with your conscience. Your subconscience knows bis is the best MC while your foolish conscience hates on bis.
+Djamal Eleam LOL nah that clown (fonkymaster) is a just a moron period. He actually gets a kick out of pissing off canibus fans. He's gone to just about every bis video he can find just to post "notepad" on the video referring to his battle with dizaster.
MCBehemoth LOL fans don't troll on videos typing "notepad" on every canibus vid he can find. & he's a fan of canibus' older music. Anything past RTJ he considers trash.
funny how mad ppl with a limited vocabulary get mad when you play this for them...."i dont like his voice!" nah player you dont know the definititions of the words lol
In the year 2087 someone is going to dust an old album they found in an abandoned warehouse off and have their life changed forever.

This song should be in the hip hop hall of fame.
This song is the hip hop hall of fame
Rip the jacker is the best album
Listened to this stoned somewhere between 500 and 10 million times.

Agreed
MegaTreeBark Stoupe put together a fucking masterpiece. Wish Bis and Stoupe would collaborate again
Haha yes
This album gave me a lonely tear after listening to it..
Mic club was on par with this album, though i still consider RIp the Jacker to be Canibus best album.

Genabis
This is Genabis, Remember this
In the beginning I discovered wordplay
I experimented with some syllables from the first to the third day
On the fourth I searched for the words to say
How to compress complex verbiage in the least amount of space
I was perfect at it and mastered the tactic's
On the fifth day I decided I would combine it with mathematics
On the sixth day I became a fanatic and I couldnt kick the habit
I would just look in the mirror and practice
On the seventh cycle, I had to take the day off
I was exhausted I guessed my work will never pay off
But if it happened it to him, it could happen to me
And if it happened to me, it was destined to be
Yo, Genabis, Exobus, Levitibus
There aint a mic on this planet I'm restricted to touch
I read the cosmo's but God wrote predicted as much
The inhabitants lack faith but resistance is tough
They backslide back to church and call a minister's bluff
They rather remain unenlightened then listen to Bus
I blew the fuck up, even though it was short and abrupt
I was the first rapper to ever to close orbit the sun
One small step for man, one huge step for mankind
... I am the red giant of rhymes
Solar deflectors, incinerate you whole in a second
Flow is untested those that I've threatened fold under pressure
At 120 Beta cycles, high volts ignite your eyeballs
Until you see the fire in front of you
Optic cone rods, melt one at a time till you realize you in hell
Rip the Jacker's not done with you
I terrorize the rap community with impunity
Blow you to pieces and move elusively thru the debris
What my enemies want to do to me is old news to me
Those that pursue to me will never get thru to me
First rapper to speak over beats dogmatically
Mixed with Elizabethian drama and tragedy
My motto is to dress casually and live lavishly
Look at the Victorian tapestry in back of me
Notice the post renaissance pictures I drew
Hand sketched drawings of the deserts in Nazca Peru
The followable audio propogates the possible truth
For proof I'm the illest so the choice is not unto you
See the standard ideological definition of a rap model
Its Canibus scholarly periodicals
The article is substantially impressive, more then a message
A working thesis from several different perspectives
The Rosetta stone of sentences
For rap music's tentative
Enter apprentices
This is Genabis

this was his dopest album.
This album was special
DRAWIN' HIS OWN WORDS IS TRULY A GIFT FROM GOD!
Still one of the best to spit a hundred bars
The glorious kick off to the greatest hip hop album that will ever grace this earth, too bad so few get to enjoy it's delicious nectar

They both have a lot of collaborations tho
I think this is the best hip hop track of all time... i don't give a fuck if you don't agree!
Pure genius!
Yeah man!
The first verse just gave me the hardest goosebumps.
The Ripper (Bis) finished the Jacker (LL) with a best-amazing written, great produced and executed Album. No disputes.
I was the first rapper to ever close-orbit the Sun...one small step for man, one huge step for mankind, I AM THE RED🔴GIANT OF RHYME ❗❗❗
