CanIbus is one of these emcees you love or hate... I almost always enjoy his rhymes. Is he perfect? No. But I love his aggressive, overloaded lines. If this youTube sampler for C of Tranquility
is any indication, I need to cop this one. If I do, I will let you know what I thought!holla.

Yeah, I agree with you on Canibus. He's not perfect but he' really, really, really good.
ReplyDeleteI love what he does with his rhymes and overall wordplay. I could care less if there are many people who think he's corny or his beats are wack, he's very interesting.
I've learned you can't win an argument about Canibus. The criticisms about him are true, but ultimately he's an example of the pros outweighing the cons for me. I mean, who else is gonna rhyme "galaxy of Andromeda" with "unexplained phenomena"..?
ReplyDeleteI'm still a huge Canibus fan. I think the reason some people don't get him is that his rhymes are too busy; especially on those 100 bar joints he drops now and then. He says so much hard stuff, that each line is lost in a sea of hard lines.

I think that's a good example.
