is canibus a nerd?
 

even tho ive got mad respect for the man, and i appreciate his lyrics as a work of wordly greatness, you gotta sumtimes wonder whether this guy is goin a bit over the top with all the scientific and mathematical terms....i understand what hes sayin, but i have problems sumtimes catchin on to what the fuck his point is in a song...i mean, im not stupid or anythin, but is it necessary to talk about telescopes and thermodynamics and astrophysics in RAP? post ur opinions... and plz none of the "ur stupid" type of stuff

hell yeah...intelllectual rap shits over gangster rap...

lol............. i guess its a matter of opinion, but id prefer the two mixed (lyk eminem, even tho he kinda has his own style of rap that doesnt fit into either category).....

mm but i hate snoop dogg type gangster shit..a good cross between tha two is crooked i

yeh snoop dogg isnt that great in my opinion... but 2pac and dre are great at it

you know he signing up for the militry
............................

ok now the way canibus raps is very skillfull in which most know but see it all has meanin jus cause he speaks bout mathmatical functions and algebraic equations doesnt make him a "nerd" in rap
he jus puts sruff that he knows into the raps that are spit into a mic inwhich peope here it and seem to understand wat he's talkin bout



LOL id say it is personally

DR DRE IS A LAME RAPPER
GREAT PRODUCER


CANIBUS IS CANADIAN
so that should explain it

and i think thats what makes canibus dope is when he makes you think

I agree with Eye.

someone lays tracks down that contain substance, and not about where they're from and who's gangsta, classifies as a nerd? then, i'm down with the 'nerd' movement.

Cannibus is sick, but he I personally don't think he's all that intelligent (nerdy). He spits cleverly. his song 'nigganometry' was funny but not exactly kicking knowledge.

Yes

NO!

shut up badmajik you dont have the power to post one word replys your banned!

ok, i see heaps of people here like canibus..... i listen to his stuff too, was just wondering what other ppl think....ty for the feedback

hes talened no doubt but I find him very annoying...
hes clever and can match his words up well
and is in his own world as far as lyrics...

but I think his world sucks

theres so many genres of hip hop that are listen worth..
maistream and underground....as for beats he gets
shitted on...if he does n acapella cd like lauryn hill...
:thumbs up:....if not dont wanna hear it

dont pull a what type of music do you listen to card either
cause I listen to just about everything...canibus sucks...
I dont care if he can rhyme words he woud never say
in real life....aesop rocks problem as well..
which makes them boring emcees..talent aside
but it would be gay if aesop completely copied el-p's style..
whos ten times better broke of from company flow...
who remembes seeing end to end burner on bet?

as for canadas emcees id rather hear
saukrates kardinal officals gay ass belly
dancer song wih pharell on the hook..
swollen members...kos....many more..
or just everyone from canada.....
many should blow soon....

canibus is from canada???? wtf i thought he was from illadelphia.

you want an example of over the top from canibus listen to the track liberal arts with jedi mind tricks. i thought ikon the hologram was too complicated but listen to canibus in that. it starts off easy. then he goes my empytheteyel (or somethin) genetic fiber was forged in the protoplasmic fires of the black geyser. it makes sense but damn i got a high vocabulary but what the fuck was that first word he said?? hes not a "nerd". and he prolly didnt learn that shit in school either.

iono if its like this in all big cities but when i went to school in norfolk, va (1,000,000 + ppl) i found out their curriculum was garbage when i moved out to this medium sized city. only like 300,000-400,000 ppl out here in f town.

he wouldnt be able to make radio shit. the streets arent ready for shit like that. so in that sense to less educated individuals hes a nerd. imagine how much more listeners rap would have if ppl like canibus did make it mainstream though.

sorry to say this but, anyone who is enthusiastic and loves mathematics and science and all of that intellectual stuff= a nerd....thats the whole meaning of nerd... i listen to him cos of his skill, not cos of his content, so its safe to say, yes hes a nerd.......... and anyway, read eminems "infinite" lyrics and you'll see he can easily challenge canibus for lyrical skill, but canibus hates him becoz eminem simplified his lyrics for commercial rap which means his not even using his full potential but is still 100x more successful and rich than canibus

^^^WORD

We Eminem used to have complex lyrics in his earlier days, but now, they are still a little simplified...but Eminem is rapping to make money...if Canibus wanted to make money and be rich, then he should simplify his lyrics too...

aight, he doesn't love mathematics, he loves knowledge, theres a difference, yet similarities. its not like he sits at home and figures out the algorhythms of his dishwasher cycle, he knows what he knows, i consider myself to be a knowledgable(ima get dissed for spellin that wrong) person, and i never got better then a d past 5th grade. he's just intelligent, which does not make him a nerd.

^ yes it does, because that is what a nerd is....and intelligent person who is enthusiastic about it.....i consider myself quite intelligent, but i dont go around describing my world thru rap by usin scientific terminonlogy etc...... eminem shits over canibus

NERD:

1. A foolish, inept, or unattractive person.

2. A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept.

Bis is not single minded. To all those who think that all he raps about is science, listen to his mixtapes and not his albums. Some tracks are definitely not science (especially "My Home Atlanta"). It's true he's mastered almost every flow. He's a genius, not a nerd.

---------------------------


P.S. Who cares about Em's Infinite days? I don't even think Canibus is completely at his potential right now despite his lyrical skill. Just wait til some tracks come out of his archives.

hes an ex navy seal and an incredible rapper, listen to the last track on rip the jacker and stand stunned. he could comfortably murder any mainstream artist out there in terms of lyrical ability. yeah he has strong vocab, but since is training your body and mind "nerdy"?

you lazy fucks need to evolve your styles, gangsta shit is played to death, 50 cent proves that.

^^word to both of you, and i don't think he was an ex navy seal, thats just a rumor, but he is currently in the army, and Poet Lauriat 2 or however that is spelled is the sickest song i have ever heard. the part about his style being enigmas rapped within themselves is sick

he can spit nice but his albums are garbage.

not a nerd, intelluctual rap is da shit

fucken dont look at the bluddy dictionary, im talkin about street language..... on the streets, a nerd is basically sumone whos smart, and is enthusiastic about bein smart and interested in all those intellectual stuff......... and eminem can compete with canibus, the reason he stands above him too is becoz he raps about life, hardship, friends, controversy, business etc. while canibus is explaining to me about the downfall of the human race by sum bluddy aliens...no thanks..em simplified his lyrics cos he needed to get rich, but at his full ability, he challenges bis.... maybe bis shuld take a leaf outta his book and maybe hed have sum money and fame for once instead of wasting his life rhymin about science and maths..... i rekn bis could be very successful if he just rapped about sumthin ppl could relate to for once

/\ holy shit he said bluddy, a true australian!

maybe bis doesn't want to be rich lol, would you ever drop your discontinue your elevation and move backwords with your rhymes just to make some money? i sure as hell wouldn't, i would enjoy the fans appreciation even more, because i would know they liked me cause of my skills, how many girls like eminem cause they think hes hot, how many guys like eminem because they dont have a cd player in thier car and hes the best thing that comes on the radio. and eminem has nothing on canibus man, nothing...

IM MY OPINION CANIBUS MUCH LIKE KILLAH PRIEST AND PHAROAH MONCH MUCH LIKE MANY UNDERGROUND HIP HOP ARTISTS ARE TRYING TO STIMULATE MINDS BY ATTACKING VARIOUS ANGLES OF THE GNERE.I KNOW YOU HAVE HERD PEOPLE COMPLAIN THAT ALL RAP SOUNDS THE SAME.THESE GUYS CAME WITH THEIR OWN STYLE AND DISPLAY LYRICAL TALENT THE EITHER YOU GET OR LOOK LIKE A FOOL.CANIBUS HAS USED TERMS I WAS LOST IN BUT IT ALSO INFLUENCED ME TO STUDY WHAT HE REFEREED TOO AND NOW IM WRAPPED IN THAT WORLD OF KNOWELEDGE WISHING CONSTANTLY TO ACQUIRE MORE.SO YES HE IS A NERD IN MY OPINION BUT HE IS A STREET GENIUS FOR WHAT HE HAS BEEN ABLE TO CONVAY.

Canibus aint a nerd he just got lyrics wog u cant even begin to think off........ This Thread should be closed hmm no way is canibus a nerd.

your a text mc online....whose the nerd now?

Who's a Text Emcee. You IDIOT YOU HAVE A BATTLE RECORD AD UR CALLING EM A TEXT EMCCEE? auctually im both

Such a Fool.................Sorry about losing myself............pc

ahah...sorry i forgot that rapbattles has no audio heads

His category would be Sell-Out

Canibus=Ill emcee...not the illest but ill

gangster rap is what rap is all about....u didnt grow up listening to grand master flash rappin about mathematics of the alignment of the planets and shit....my answer YES~canibus is a nerd

true, grand master flash didn't rap about stuff like conscience hip hop but... grand master flash didn't rap period(.) pioneers of rap weren't exactly spitting shit about mathematics, but they definately didn't rap about gangster shit.

"gangster rap is what rap is all about"... hmmm, don't know about that one.

how can the greatest battle mc ever be a nerd????????????? thick bastards

^ cos hes not the greatest battle mc, hes just a sad lonely man living sumwhere in the northern hemisphere who has nothin better to do than to write rhymes about shit that i wouldnt wanna hear if it was the last thing i COULD hear b4 i went permanently deaf....even if he is a great lyricist (and i acknowledge that, but nothin else about him...oh i alos acknowledge that eminem is better than him)...

i never said i cant understand him, im just sayin i cant relate to his shit
