I get it. He is supposed to be a real emcee and rapper. No real emcee would pull out a note pad during a battle it's supposed to be all in your head already or you freestyle on the spot.
Dude, I suggest you read m-eighty's book - there's 30 pages of rhymes in this motherfukker. There was a lot of behind the scenes fukkery going on on kotd's behalf. There were months when Bis gave up on the battle evening happening. While diz was prepping for months, Bis was touring and doing other shyt. Not to mention all the bullshyt he went through getting back into the country days before the battle. You never wondered why he showed with stitches in his head and a separated shoulder high on pain meds? You expect him to put in a stellar show? Give the man a break.

The Federal Communications Commission listens
To politicians in the position to make certain decisions
Like putting minorities in prison
To decimating the population of women
It’s called socialism.

:whoo:

Bus was the Marcus Dupree of Hip Hop

Who's fault is that, he should have told them to postpone it if all that shyt was going down. Plus you saying he hurt his hand and all kinda excuses LOL. Breh he just failed it it what it is. If he felt they wasn't doing shyt the right way and he didn't know about the battle he should have let them know they should postpone it because that was unfair to him but it's his fault for not speaking up and still trying to battle.

Yo how has it been damn near a decade and I only seen this once (when it came out). I'm dying right now. Why is there no annual thread on this?

I was right now years old when I found out about this

Bis is just different.

He already said himself he lyrics are too advanced for the average block hustler on that melatonin magick album. Good album btw too

sorta off-topic, but has he or anyone else explained he's been invisible for the whole HRSMN rollout?

I was always impressed with Canibus as a writer. He was never just forcing syllables & words together to make a rhyme, and if you look at the lyric sheet & take the time to break it down it’s clear he has at least has a cursory understanding of the concepts he conveys in his songs. I don’t think there’s some grand, “deep” meaning there - just a guy trying to push the boundaries of language in a rap & flex his well rounded knowledge. But there’s definitely nuggets that will make you pause & rewind. The “lyrical miracle spiritual” shyt is kind of a joke, but to do what Canibus did is a lot fukking harder than it looks. It’s not overlaying research paper text over a beat.

First of all, Bis is a legend. He may not be a huge name overall, but there is a story to be told about his time as one of those head turning, song stealing MC's, he created moments that everybody that was connected to the culture felt in real time. He couldn't ride the fence and that's okay. As long as that nikka ain't assed out on the streets, he should feel proud of himself and his craft. fukk the rap "game".

Canibus still one of my favourite rappers, not many that had a pen like his
Homie was always a bit eccentric though, not sure if the military background played into it at all

Whatchu mean. He killed that shyt. I couldn't repeat that shyt if I tried.

Like a lot of Canibus shyt, it's a combo of dope shyt spit with a good delivery and some cringy try hard gibberish that didn't age well IMO. "Automated overbite" for instance, shyt just sounds goofy lol.

Dizaster didnt gain anything OUTSIDE of battle rap by battling Bis. No endorsements,

Well Canibus isn't/wasn't exactly Jay-z or somebody, lol. He did get the respect of slaughtering someone who a lot of people revered and looked at as the quintessential, perfect "battle" rapper, in terms of how he rapped.
