Lost Boyz - Beasts from the East is definitive proof that Canibus was wayyyyy better than Eminem

[Billy Ocean]

I swear, in the late 90's I thought Canibus really was some super intelligent alien that crash landed on Earth and decided to rap. The combination of lyricism, intelligence and ferociousness was :





Canibus brings the sickest drama
Fierce enough to pierce the thickest armor
I smack bytches who try to suck dikk through a condom
Playing with the mic is something I won't do
My only concern when I approach you, is to roast you
I smoke you and whoever you standing close to
And make every man in your crew deny that he knows you
Defeating, nikkas like Segal, Steven
Putting Emcees in, positions to prevent 'em from breathing
I'll make you question any and everything you've ever believed in
By peeping your deepest secrets like psychic readers
What's the matter with ya'll, I splatter ya'll
Against the mutha fvckin wall, with these raw lyrics I catapult
None of ya'll got the balls big enough to battle
I go On & On like Erika Badu
A hundred times nicer than the best is
Twice as arrogant as KRS is , who wanna test this
fukk yall you dont impress me and no one can test me
An Emcee so ill, I got AIDS scared to catch me
All that shyt you poppin will stop, when I put you in a headlock
And apply pressure until I crush your mutha fukkin noggin
I grab mics and push nikkas to the left
So fast their hearts end up on the right side of their chests
My hypothesis, is that nobody can see this
Lyrical genius, I got it sewn like a seamstress
But if you want to battle, I'm down
If you got nine lives, I'll take eight of them off your hands right now
Step up and get your neck cut from ear to ear
If you survive, then you can cover your scar with a beard
I'm the illest from Queens to the new Jerusalem briddikks
Anyone who ain't feeling my shidikk can suck my didikk
You need to quit it, if you ain't spittin
More than 50 bars per minute cause you ain't in lyrical fitness
Kickin' boring raps with metaphors that's wack
All of ya'll mutha fukkas need NordicTrack
To get ya weight up, fukkin with Canibus you get ate up
Get beat down and sprayed up, just for bringing my name up
Been rockin longer than nikkas twice my age
Back in the days before Bob
Marley was rockin a fade
Before Honest Abe signed the paper that freed slaves
Before Neanderthals was drawing on walls in caves
I existed, in the garden of Eden gettin lifted
Stickin dikk to Eve before she was Adams mistress
Before Christ created Christmas, I been in lyrical fitness
The Canibus is spitten till' he's spitless
50 bars of total sickness, you won't forget this
I'm puttin' every wack Emcee alive on my shyt list
Verbally vicious, telekinetically gifted
Took you a minute, to exhibit that I'm sick wit it
Now you tell me who you think is damaging shyt
Going once, going twice
Sold to that nikka name Canibus
Me and Mr.Cheeks, A-Plus, andFunk Doctor
Hopping out the Hue helicopter to suey chop ya





Germaine Williams just totally embarassed one of the greatest MC's that ever lived (one of Marshall's biggest influences also), Redman. Did Red even hear Bis' rhyme before this track was put out?

Post the Eminem track where he gets even close to the level of unconsciousness as Bis did on here. Mr. overrated never was the best MC and he woulda got crushed by Bis if they ever REALLY battled in the late 90's.

I heard the notebook he pulled out at the ppv battle was the original notebook he wrote those lines in

Meh...that verse was so dope he probably still woulda won that battle, even with the notebook and arm sling, if he spit it.

[Billy Ocean]

so i guess its ok he brought a notebook to a freestyle battle

With that otherworldly verse, sure

 

[smokeurobinson]

emphasis on "was."

 

[Change]

he was dope before he got too raspy. He was a lot calmer/smoother leading up to his first album and for most of the songs on it.

 

[DaRealness]

Verse blew my mind the first time I heard it.

 

[Billy Ocean]

emphasis on "was."

I consciously put "WAS" there because both Canibus and whiteboy fell WAYYYYYYYY off. In their primes, though, Canibus was much sicker.

Lyrically whiteboy has become IMO the best lyricist over 40...Outdoing Nas. I say that based on the lyrical depth of MMLP2 compare to Life Is Good. Nas cant execute lyrically like Em did on Rap God, its not happening.

MMLP2 is garbage and all that rippity rap sh!t Marshall was spittin on Rap God may be entertaining and sounds good but it doesn't make him a better MC than Nas. Nas can run an MC clinic on Eminem, now and at any time of either one of their careers.

Opinions are subjective......But If Rap God isn't a display of Em having a lyrical edge over Nas in 2013 then what song on Life Is Good backs your statement?? What song on LIG lyrically comes close to Rap God??

 

[Billy Ocean]

Several MC's, over 40 years of age, is better than Eminem.

Damn near the whole Life Is Good Album. Wordplay and rapping fast does not solely make a great lyricist. Nas embarrasses Eminem as an MC AND lyricist.

 

[I.AM.PIFF]

Arguably one of the GOAT verses.

Motherfukkin Wyclef spoiled it...

When you say the whole LIG album, I need examples......U just cant say it and leave it at that. I fux wit Nas because his music is filled with conscious substance which Em lacks....Em could never make a song like "Queens Story", It's impossible because Em lacks the personal background to make such a song with the same passion. But lyrically, I dont see Nas touching Em. I'll ask the question again, which Nas song on LIG lyrically fux with Rap God??....Just give me 1 song.
