I can't say canibus. He did what he was supposed to do. He Dropped classic verses and features ...but he was never gonna be anything more than what he was at his peak in 98.

Just simple shyt like the battle with Disaster.

Come in. Say some verses no one has heard before. Win or lose, it will just be a regular battle rap day.

What does Bis do? Says shyt we already know. Brings a notebook. Looking like he got jumped 60 min beforehand.

Diz won, but no one even remembers what he said. He could have read the back of a shampoo bottle and still won.

Bis has no hits. Second Round KO is kind of a hit, but not a hit hit.

He's just so abnormal he couldn't do basic shyt. Such as find a production team or work with the hottest producers for his debut.

The battle was embarrassing for many reasons. Canibus being 14 years past his prime. Dude was washed before he got there.

He was top tier MC for 2 years and that was the end of his story. He was like an athlete who had 2, 3 dope years then maybe played 7 more seasons no one cared.

He still left his mark tho and no one can take that from him.

I have sat and listened to Poet Laurette II back to back to back.

I will still run it to this day from time to time.

He shoulda been able to put his bars on a legendary track or two even after his first phase.

As a pure critic, he's near the top of my list.
