the dude actually has a science degree... and is deep into computers so he has an intelligence not normally found in the average street rapper. if we all just did shyt that ended up in clubs then hip-hop would not be at the point it is today... suppose we all still rapped like kool moe dee or sugar hill gang... rap woulda died when they predicted it like 20 years ago...

case and point... dude is a lyricist... not a rapper... lyricists actually think about what they are saying and have some type of meaning behind why and how they say shyt... a rapper is a conformist who does things mainly because they wanna be accepted....

and for the record.... canibus can do commercial tracks if he really wanted to go that route... that track he did called "Into You" is a prime example... if you don't like him then fine... but don't try and say everyone else who likes him is wrong for doing so... hell, i don't like polka music or folklore but you don't hear me going around knocking other folks who do...

just sumn to think about... and i ain't one of them fat dudes you described or a comp geek... i just love hip-hop
