(4)put luda in almost any beat and he'll destroy it. put canibus in any beat and he'll destroy it but chances are luda will sell more records couse of how he does his shit for the media heads to actually enjoy wit out having to tell every one in the room to be quiet so u can analyze every word he says. it all weird like that.
much props to I.G. for not coming at me wit some childish shit. its a forum...not a battle...

aiight # 1
glad to hear THAT shyt...lol... my nephew loves them bastards...lol
#2... i'm all about giving a lil variety in my shyt.... you can do that with flow, topics, beat choices, concepts... but i still refuse to dumb down just because the majority says i should... omma still do me when it's all said and done... love it or leave it... i stands by that... my thing is... if you feel in ya heart that what you putting out is speaking for YOU then drop that shyt... too many kats get caught up in writing for "the fans"... the "fans" ain't doing this shyt professionally or on a regular basis so they don't know how taxing that can be... especially when it's only
one of you and
millions of them... how you gon cater to THAT?!!!!
#3... agreed... but every song don't have to be complex to be lyrical... there's a difference and i think that's where a lot of kats get it twisted... take nas and jay-z for instance... them dudes go hard on a regular basis and are lyrical as all get out without dropping a canibus styled Poet Lauriette, nah mean?
no need for astronomical wordplay and shyt we don't use in everyday language... it's all in HOW you say it...
#4... agreed... Canibus is a true LYRICIST... by this, i mean, his main focus is lyrics and doing shyt out of the norm... noone spits like 'Bus... He has his following... Luda has his... Luda appeals to more people cuz he understands the mainstream and that's who he wants to cater to... remember, he was also a DJ before he started rapping so he knows the system and how to work it.... Canibus is straight underground... but with that said... Canibus does have the ability to drop mainstream shyt.....
IF HE CHOOSES!!! ... Check one of his newest joints called I'm So Into You... shyt is derrty, has a commercial feel .. but yet it's still canibus... Canibus appeals more to kats who are into lyrics... Luda appeals more to kats who are into partying... there's two different audiences, two different styles altogether, and two dudes with two diferent focuses... ya can't compare them in the same category just because they they both rap
at the end of the day, Canibus still gets his dough, and Luda gets his... just comes from different sources... and remember this... Canibus went indie... so he keeps da majority of his dough while all these mainstream kats are shelling out duckets to everyone and they mommas... break all that shyt down and they prolly make the same amount of due if ya go by record sales alone6
