the thing about canibus is you don't caught most of what he saying the first listen like most underground heads.... when I listen to albums I tend to basically preview all the tracks and just listen to flow and beats. But after that first taste I go back and listen to wtf they're saying. It's proven canibus is a dope lyricist and he's one of the only cats I know tha can rip a consistent flow and say on beat. His explosiveness on a track is almost unmatched. Fucking tracks like C-quel are prime examples of this.. Rip the jacker is a fucking ill album if you take time to listen to what he says. I hated canibus at first until I sat down and really listened to what he was saying then I was liek damn. No he doesn't rip a commerical flow he can though listen to a track like "c-Secetion" (no pun intended) on mic club album he rips a commerical flow on there. i can easily see how someone could not like canibus because if you have no clue wtf he's talking about he just spitting nonesense to you even though he's not.
BTW you can get off eminem's nuts though I like some of eminem tracks and if you been listening to him for a while you'll see flow and delivery wise he's improving a damn lot. That track he did with 2 pac on the movie soundtrack was fire. (although I rather it just been eminem and 2pac and not those other cats 2) It kinda burns me up when someone talks about how much better eminem use to be. in my opinion he was overall worst before. Yeah he had a load of punchlined filled track but lyrics AINT SHIT if you can't deliver them right. Period. That what's seperates real emcees from textcee's the abilty to flow the shit. I aint saying give up lyrics for flow but I'm saying balance is needed. A real emcee rock a dope flow and still rip lyrics. Pick up a old Kool G rap album that man fucking spits multis punches or even real shit and never misses a damn beat. He basically orginated the flow nas rocked on illmatic which we all know is a classic.
But shit everyone has different taste but to say canibus is unskilled is just crazy. I know eminem maybe your favorite artist but saying something like that is just retarded.
