      Brother, with all love to Canibus the whole reason he never really caught on is because he specifically lacked purpose. There is never any point to a Canibus track. I love what the man does, but the reason it never took off isn't a whole mystery or anything. His work is all form no content.

No song from Canibus is lyrically better than Mural, and I say this as a fan of both. Actually, I got into Bis when Lupe praised him and said that he almost lost his will to do rap when he heard Bis when he was young. I'm a listener of both, but, I have yet to see a valid point as why Poet Laureate II is better than Mural.

    His 1997 - 2003 era is almost untouched by anyone. Especially this album.

    • @FenceDaGreat
      @FenceDaGreat 10 ปีที่แล้ว +52

      People gotta realize that people make mistakes. So Bis took a credibility hit when he battled Dizaster, but Jay took a hit when Em killed him on his own track and Em took a hit for doing songs in weird accents and Nas took a hit for letting people down with It Was Written and Ice-T took a hit for playing a cop on TV and Dre took a hit for being against weed and then being a huge stoner (I'll stop here, clearly I could go on)
      .I bet if guys like Pac and Pun and Biggie lived long enough they'd have made a mistake or two. Going through an entire career lasting decades without making a single mistake is reserved for the best of the best. Rakim and G Rap come to mind, even KRS-1 regrets using violent imagery on his first album. The gods of rap are human!!!

    Yo, why is the Ripper so ill?
    That would be an unpardonable breach of confidence for me to reveal
    He said, "One of these days, all eyes would be on me
    When they look up in the sky and see the neon C"
    Rhymes inscribed on a nickel disk encased
    In glass with an ion beam for longevity
    For more than ten centuries, impressions and memories
    The first time-machine inventor will mention me
    Canibus was a visionary indeed
    He believed light could travel in multiples of C
    The organic supercomputer that solved the mysteries of
    Klein Kaluza with two blue metric rulers
    Liked Cool J, but thought Stephen Jay Gould was cooler
    And he never liked to propagate rumors
    Smoked Canary Island cigars
    Liked American luxury cars and beautiful Asian broads
    He had a strong mind, he used to philosophize
    About rhymes while he was pruning his bonsai
    He claimed that he had written the greatest rhyme of all time
    But he would never take it out his archives
    He wrote two songs per day
    And was constantly experimenting with his wordplay
    In his youth he did a report on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
    He got an F but he deserved an A
    I followed his career from the first day
    It seemed a lack of support contributed to his inert ways
    I seen him pull in twenty-four hour workdays
    With deferred pay, undeterred by the word "shame"
    Public humiliation was the worst pain
    He was spinning out of control like a Class 5 hurricane
    He said he wouldn't want another MC to suffer the same
    Especially when there's nothing to gain
    He was the illest alive but nobody would face it
    He spit till his tongue was too torched to taste it
    Properly funded corporations carbon dated his latest creations
    To extract the information
    They found it utterly amazing
    They claimed the body of his work was the same thing as a priceless painting
    Never mattered to him that art galleries hated him
    'Cause Thomas Kinkade called and said he would take ten
    Complete enigmas wrapped in puzzles encrypted in language
    With sound but without shape or signature
    Kept files in his garage on MS-DOS
    In a fire-proof pod, we thought it was odd
    Outside there was a shed with an Oppenheimer lock
    He apparently kept more wax than Madame Tussaud's
    We were in total awe 'cause it blew our minds
    So many rhymes that were intricately designed
    He was Poet Laureate of his time
    And if you don't mind, I'd like to share some of his rhymes
    Alone in my room looking through the 32X telescope zoom
    Adjusting the focus of the moon
    One should not assume the philosophy of David Hume
    Is nothing more then a subjective conclusion
    What is the maximum field rate application?
    The runaway glaciation surrounding the ocean basin
    Affects the population fluctuation
    On a continuous basis but that's just the basics
    The juxtaposition of Canibus' position
    The precision of something no other has written
    Way above and beyond what was intended
    The unparalleled malleable enunciation of a sentence
    You didn't go to college obviously
    I can tell by your ungodly unintelligible terminology
    A remarkable odyssey, the rhymes of modern speeds
    When the brain orders the body not to breathe
    Your competency is not up to speed, you're not in my league
    You couldn't possibly be hotter then me
    Or oppositely your minus twenty-five degrees
    You'd squeeze but the condensation makes rifle barrels freeze
    Allow me to speak figuratively, nigga please
    My intellectual properties are about the size of Greece
    Your counselor advised you not to speak
    My counselor advised me to keep rhyming until they stopped the beat
    In the words of Joseph Heller, "I learned how to write better"
    Even though it sort of irked me
    He said he didn't understand the process of the imagination
    But he felt he was at its mercy
    Which explains my point perfectly and certainly reinforces
    The reason why nobody's probably ever heard of me
    Couldn't understand what I mean by ill
    Unless you try to translate what I print to film
    This is the line of reel, the circle of time
    The cycle of eternity, the emergence of one line
    Academic phonetics render critics tongue-tied
    I've personified dry humor of cum laude alumni
    A wise man sees failure as progress
    A fool divorces his knowledge and misses the logic
    And loses his soul in the process
    Obsessed with nonsense with a caricature that has no content
    My style is masterful, multilateral
    I could battle a fool and be naturally cruel
    Words of scorn are a disastrous tool
    From an existentialist's view I'm a better rapper than you
    Grab the mic and rip your physical fabric in two
    My attitude is fucked up but admirable
    Different methods interpreted into different forms
    From entirely different perceptions and seen from different norms
    Not just spitting a poem, there’s much more involved
    There's much more pieces of the puzzle for you to solve
    Forty-eight orders of mechanical laws
    And rays of creational cause enhance the cadence of my bars
    Maybe I am self-absorbed
    But that's the effect, to find the cause you should ask my A&R
    Today is what it is, but only because yesterday was what it was
    Permitting you heard of Beelzebub
    A tale of demons and drugs, pissy drunk in the club
    With the DJ doing the needle rub
    Chances are you'll never see me son
    Yeah I know my name's Canibus but I can't help you if you need a dub
    I came to holla at some big booty bitches and listen to the speakers thump
    Where you get conceited from?
    I'm so nice on the mic they wanna beat me up
    It's deep as fuck, I ain't seen it all but I've seen enough
    Really unbelievable stuff
    There's a lot of times when I want to speak but I'm stuck
    I should leave this rap shit alone
    And kick my incredible rhymes in the privacy of my own home
    My imagination is my own
    The liberty to speak to freely lyrically on the microphone
    With a pen in my hand, I bring motion to the Enneagram
    And become "Can-I Millenium Man"
    Engrave my back with the emperor's stamp
    Been spitting scientific rap since the 17th century began
    Trying to escape the wicked empire of Def Jam
    And the land where lyrics are bland and heretics hang
    Every warrior has an axe to bury
    But he has to learn to discern between enemy and adversary
    I said to myself, "Germaine, this is insane
    It's suicide, it's controlled flight into terrain"
    I fought to regain control of the plane, but went up in a ball of flames
    And got banned from the Hip-Hop hall of fame
    For two bars I kept hearing in my head
    Over and over again, it cost me everything
    I'm convinced now that more than the truth is at stake
    Where people create language that pretends to communicate
    Euphemisms are misunderstood as mistakes
    But its a byproduct of the ghetto music we make
    From an extroverted point of view I think its too late
    Hip Hop has never been the same since '88
    Since it became a lucrative profession
    There's a misconception that a movement in any direction is progression
    Even though the potency of it lessens
    Big money industries writing checks to suppress the question
    And nobody gives a fuck no more, no one goes to the book store
    Ever since the confluence of Moore's Law
    But I stay in the lab like Niels Bohr and his son Aage
    Edward Lorenz and Leo Szilard
    Lyrically I took rap music and turned the knob
    To the right full throttle and added panache
    Why would I argue with my own conscience over the truth?
    That's like me telling myself, "Don't tell me what to do"
    Dialyses and analyses of battle MCs
    Sometimes I say things I myself can't believe
    My lyrical is so skillfully elliptical
    I can understand how it makes you miserable
    You wonder why I never let you play your beats for me
    Or why I keep my studio enshrouded in secrecy
    You wonder what's my infatuation with Alicia Keys
    "Canibus why don't you speak to me?"
    Yo, I meant it when I said no one can shine on a song that features me
    That's why I said it so vehemently
    You need to replace the hate with respect
    I'm probably the best yet, Poet Laureate

Canibus being blackballed and his inconsistency over the years is what hurt him, however, his legendary quotables and battle lines are just that, legendary and whether people admit it or not, he inspired a lot of battle mc's that we see today because of the way he came out because no mc was spitting verses like he did back in the late 90s!! This song right here shows his complete lyricism and song writing that people had never heard before and this is definitely in the top 5 for greatest story telling poetic songs of all time. He gets a medal for this one. Put some respect on Canibus name, because he's never got the respect he deserved!!

    "The organic supercomputer that solved the mysteries of Klein and Kaluza with two blue metric rulers."
    ^^One of the greatest single lines in the history of hip-hop. Klein and Kaluza are credited with the earliest serious research into hyperdimensional theory, which formed the backbone of modern superstring theory.

      @@Ocelotl1491 Superstring theory is notorious complex and has spawned the creation of numerous mathematical concepts necessary to advance it (membranes, D-brains, etc.). Bis is suggesting his mind is so advanced that he solved its foundational mysteries (i.e. those of Kaluza-Klein theory) using only a pair of rulers.

      +Don Demarco LOL. You wanna see how Canibus raps? It's not that impressive. Just put in a bunch of big words using 5 dollar words in an unnecessary way and brag.
      I'll write one right now:
      My rhyme schemes encapsule Darwinian terminology
      Reaching complexities of unprecedented molecular biology
      Microscopes cannot capture the observations of Ptolemy
      His genius escapes most minds, but my flow shines as its calling me
      Matching the radiance of an intergalactic quasar
      And like a titanium condensed asteroid from another dimension- I came far
      From where I originated, but the black hole that is my mind is where I place bars
      My polarity mimics the orientation of the magnetic energy of play darts.
      This shit took me like 5 minutes. If you think this shit is actually deep then smh LOL

      to be nothing more than subjective conclusions
      do you even get that shit? david hume's entire philosophy was that both everything and nothing exist within an infinite realm of possibilities. ie, his whole philosophy is a contradiction, and biz manages to rhyme that into a double negative, the ultimate contradiction of the english language.
      you couldnt write one rhyme like that if i gave you your whole life to do it. smh you probably think james joyce was just a useless drunk

      +Don Demarco Yeah, yeah I rap geniused this song & it has a few gems, but
      1. he is not consistently contextualize all his references
      and
      2. He raps in a very straightforward manner. There is no density in a lot of his lines
      Second, if by "greatest", you mean most lyrical song of all time, then I have to say that it's not even close. That title belongs to "Failure" by Lupe Fiasco.
      Btw, I'm a rapper myself. These 2 bars that I wrote now are more clever than that pseudo-intellectual bs.

      Jor Zap the fact you think you're better than biz is the evidence that you're trash. there was a time when every single MC alive was scared of biz. a wise man knows that he never knows enough. its the greatest track because it was the first to combine incredibly deep lyricism with various literary devices such as splitting into 2 personalities. its the first ever track where somebody pondered how he could change the narrative tone of hip hop. its the innovation you have to appreciate. you would never have been rapping like that if not for dudes like biz and rass kass
