once again...
the man in silver face paint...
delivers!!!!!!!!!!!!!
weve all heard it...
"bis was the shit but i cant fuck with that nigga after he dropped can-i-bus"
those that stuck around know he continually drops next level schematics over anythin resembling a beat!!!!!!!!!!!!!
following melatonin magik earlier this year, bis mighta fucked around and dropped his 2nd best album ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
c of tranquility...
i still spin albums with the crew, pass blunts, youd think it was 95 the way we spin records and break shit down... we all came away sayin... THIS IS CANIBUS!!!!!!!!!!
balls to the wall lyricism, high octane delivery, incredible vocabulary, visual bars, relentless cadence!!!!!!!!!!!!
one of the livest niggas ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
when an album starts with a joint called "captain cold crush"... hold on to your dick!!!!!!!!!!!
"how many emcees do i have to bust?!?!!?
im an emcee without airplay, but how come!?!?!?!?!"
call the riot squad, nigga assaults the track, one of the rawest intros in recent memory!!!!!!!!!!!
"salute" reminds me of something bis woulda delivered IN 98... got a bounce, big hook, and lyrics like....
"a earthquake machine
beam powered by a crystal"
vicious... mic swingin back in forth in a dark bassment, hangin from the ceiling shit!!!!!!!!!!!
"c scrolls"... another ode to the true... actually speaking on the culture, the attempts of destroying it... are FEEBLE!!!!!!!!!!
"merchant of metaphors" is some 2030 blast off shit... end of the earth, jet pack to safety battle rap!!!!!!!! line after line, this is the scientific kill bis detractors live to insult... have fun... youll come back to it years from now and feel stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!
we got CAN I BUST detonating nuclear weapons on a premier banger... not no bottom of the barrel preem shit, top shelf heat... and BIS swings on it!!!!!!!!!! dope hook, dope beat, dope lyrics, DOPE TRACK!!!!!!!!!!
"title 17" got bis catching a groove on a bangin beat... "i am exhausted and stressed but i continue to press"... this nigga is relentless, the average emcee scared of gettin panned, this nigga is fearless of the reception, he been knowing he was over niggas heads... instead of goin home, he decided to stick around to see if people catch up!!!!!!!!!!!
dope to hear bis on a j-zone track... if yall dont know... J ZONE is one of the most underrated artists ever... that nigga did everything himself, beats, lyrics, concepts, album art, and no one cared... shit fucked him up, cuz the nigga pretty much all but retired!!!!!!!!! but he gives bis a banger and makes mention of tyson classic intro... funny stab!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"cingularity point"..
"rhyme mechanics
like that of a blind pianist
the keys are metallic
my fingers are magnets
the music is magic..."
COT DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nuff said!!!!!!!!! hot beat too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"pine comb poem" is one of the illest canibus tracks ever... no need to elaborate, listen, love, push yourself to higher limits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"good equals evil" the bitter bis returns... this is the bis that felt the industry bite... misunderstood, incredible hook... nice little beat... dope track, non typical... nice!!!!!!!!
like 2 skips TOTAL... incredible album... following up a dope album he just dropped...
a homie once said "i listened to bis new shit, he lost his quick wit...."
i thought about it for a second...
and canibus doesnt care about wowing the dumbies with punches anymore... if thats what you listened to bis for, yeah... it might not be for you!!!!!
the comedy/tounge in cheek nature of his music has been SAPPED by the industry... hes topical, he spits with a purpose now.. he speaking on larger issues, more reflective than he was... hes now in KRS ONE mode post rolling stone smear campaign... he may have lost an audience, but he forgives them, cuz they arent capable of GETTING IT... he spits for the culture, and pens madness for himself and the fans that are still copping his records!!!!!!!!!
canibus keeps building the catalog...
20 years from now, niggas gonna look at his body of work... and be in awe... albums like this will be rediscovered, and niggas will then revise history and say he was one of the illest, even though they bypassed the chance of saying he was one of the illest while he was still actively shortin mics out!!!!!!!!!!!!
EASY 4 mics... another dope album in the disco, i need to listen way more.. let it sink in...
but he did it again!!!!!!!! dope production + dope lyrics = dope album!!!!!!!!!!!
if yall wanna hear some breath defying spit by one of the smartest emcees ever, do yourself a favor and cop c of tranquility!!!!!!!!!!!
respect to the ripper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
