Since Yall Love To Quote Lets Pick An Artist Who Is Worth Quoting: Canibus
- Thread starter one mc on dj
- Start date
This verse is too sick to just post a quote from it:
Prepare for the worst, this next verse is the face of death
Me without lyrics is like a porn flick without sex
Illmatic, my lyrical skills are jurassic
With more flavor that Skittles when I digitally mast(er) it
I go off like a canon and blow up the planet
With No Fear like them clothes white boys be wearin'
I'm tougher than denim, lethal like venomous snake bites
The marijuana make my eyes bright red like brake lights
There ain't a party I couldn't rock, believe that
There ain't a microphone brave enough to give me feedback
I'm strong, my word is bond like James
Niggas be tryna test but they weak like 7 days
MC's run away when I kick it
They act so chicken they should come with a large drink and a biscuit
My style's radioactive, massive atomic
I plan to push the Earth in front of Halley's comet
Breakin' the Facts Of Life down like Tutti, I'm raw like sushi
With more vocab than 3 fuckin' Fugees
So recognize or be hospitalized
Cuz lyrically on a scale of 1 to 10, I'm 25

All I really want is you niggas to stop bitin'
All I really want is you niggas to start writin
All I really want is you niggas to be original
And start spittin' some lyrical shit that I can listen to - Get Retarded
Niggas wanna know, Is Canibus gold?/That's a stupid ass question mothafucka, is Canada cold?...The rap terrorist, professor emeritus/Fuck forbidden fruit, I was eatin' pusy in Genesis...Mothafuckas start agin' to the point where they faces/Shrivel up like raisins and they become cancer patients - Doomsday News
I cut thru ya epidermal layers with verbal lasers/Sharper than razors on the feet of olympic ice skaters/Carvin figure 8's in the pavement, judges smile with amazement/Till they facial muscles start achin...I Kick a rhyme that'll melt the earth/Then ask you in the afterlife if you felt the verse...Nobody can copy me, I got a doctor's degree in botany/That's why I can grow my marijuana properly...Can-I-Bus will bust ya ass/Strike a match against ya moustache, light my spliff and laugh...Extremely low frequencies that frequently flow/Type my rhymes out in morse code with pinky toes...So Any given Sunday, Monday thru Friday/We can battle in 5 o'clock traffic on Westside Highway/If they can see it live why pay, I slay you in broad day/So stop bein' cocky and try me - Hot 97 freestyle

Here's the first Canibus verse I ever heard, and it's still one of his best
The combination of Mista Cheeks, Canibus and Kurupt
Is enough to make the reels on cassette tapes bust
Cuz none of you fools is capable
My lyrical will knock you on the floor like a mechanical bull
Rhymes ricochet off the inner walls of my lungs
And go past the tongue faster than bullets come outta guns
Who wants to be the one to get struck first
I bury they body on any other planet excepth the Earth
I rip up, swell ya lip up, it's a stick up
Make you put ya hands on ya head like you was doin' sit-ups
Lost Boyz and DPG causin' trouble
We outta control like an involuntary muscle
Can't nobody else smoke more than my team
20 pounds of weed and a gallon of Visine
Naw'mean? I fly the friendly skies
Whenever Music Makes Me High - Music Makes Me High Remix

Canibus amaze, undisputed but never rooted
I'm strong enough to throw a bullet faster than a gun can shoot it
So if ya try to battle me face to face
I'll bring ya career to a stop quicker than anti-lock brakes
Look inside the mind of an animal
That'll beat you to death with a bar of soap wrapped in a towel
While you niggas are babblin, my lyrics are travellin'
Like a javellin to stab you in the abdomen - Uni-4-Orm

Damn, are we like the only 2 Bus fans around here or what? (Besides aritsticgurl)
I'm the meanest mothafucka on this whole Navy Seal team
And I can kill anything if it breathes or bleeds
Callin' all bitch ass niggas and bitch ass bitches
I got a howitzer bigger than any 45th is
Rhymin' is a raw business
But as an individual I'm as different as anybody's fingerprint is
If boring is the norm, I'm the antonym
Put me in the same category you would put Marilyn Manson in
Buggin' like a Satanic evangelist
Joggin' buck naked down Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles
Every MC in ya crew will get ruined or wounded
Talk the bullshit and be too scared to do shit
I'm the type of nigga that'll prove it, produce shit
Spent so much time in the studio, I had to move in
A soldier who practices West Indian opium (I have no idea what he says here, best guess)
I can drink the poison from a king cobra
Cuz long after y'all are dead and gone, I'll survive
The nuclear holocaust like a roach, hard to pardon

i like this verse 
lol
Yo, why is the ripper so ill?
That would be a unpardonable breach of confidence for me to reveal!
He said one day all eyes would be on me
when they look up in the sky and see the neon C
Rhymes inscribed on a nickel disk encased
in glass with an ion beam for longevity
For more then 10 centuries, impressions and memories
the first time the machine inventor will mention me
Canibus was a visionary indeed
he believed light could travel in multiples of C
The organic supercomputer that solved the mysteries
of Clan Calusa with 2 blue metric rulers
Liked Cool J, but thought Stephen J. Gould was cooler
and he never liked to propagate rumors
Smoked Canary Island cigars
liked America, luxury cars and beautiful Asian broads
He had a strong mind, he used to philosophize
about rhymes while he was pruning his Banzai
He claimed that he had written the greatest rhyme of all time
but he would never take it out his archives
He wrote 2 songs per day
and was constantly was experimenting with his wordplay
In his youth he did a report on the Sloan Digital Sky survey
he got an F but he deserved an A
I followed his career from the first day
it seemed the lack of support contributed to his inert ways
I seen him pull in 24 hour workdays
with deferred pay, undeterred by the word "shame"
Public humiliation was the worst pain
he was spinnin out of control like a class 5 hurricane
He said he wouldnt want another emcee to suffer the same
especially when theres nothing to gain
He was the illest alive but nobody would face it
he spit till his toungue was too torched to taste, it
properly funded corporations carbon dated his latest creations
to extract the information
They found it utterly amazing
they claimed the body of his work was the same thing as a priceless painting
Never mattered to him, the art galleries hated him
cause Thomas K.K. called, said he would take 10
Complete enigmas wrapped in puzzles encrypted in language
with sound but without shape or signature
Kept files in his garage, on MS-DOS
in a fire-proof pod, he thought it was odd
Outside there was a shed with an Oppenheimer lock
he apparently kept more wax then Madame Tussaud's
We were in total awe, cause it blew our minds
so many rhymes that were intricately designed
He WAS Poet Laureate of his time
and if you dont mind, Id like to share some of his rhymes
Alone in my room, looking thru the 32X telescope zoom
adjusting the focus of the moon
One should not assume the philosophy of David Hume
is nothing more then a subjective conclusion
What is the maximum field rate application?
the run away glaciation surrounding the ocean basin
affects the population, fluctuation
on a continuous basis but thats just the basics
The juxtaposition of Canibus's position
the precision something no other has written
Way above and beyond what was intended
the unparallel Malleable annunciation of a sentence
You didnt go to college obviously
I can tell by your ungodly unintelligible terminology
A remarkable odyssey, the rhymes of modern speeds
when the brain orders the body not to breathe
Incompetency is not up to speed, you not in my league
you couldnt possibly be hotter then me
Or oppositely your minus 25 degrees, you'd squeeze
but the condensation makes rifle barrels freeze
Allow me to speak figuratively, nigga please
my intellectual properties are about the size of Greece
Your counselor advised you not to speak
my counselor advised me to keep rhymin until they stopped the beat
In the words of Joseph Heller, "I learned how to write better"
even though it sort of urked me
He said he didnt understand the process of the imagination
but he felt he was at its mercy
Which exploits my point perfectly and certainly reinforces
the reason why nobody's probably ever heard of me
Couldnt understand what I mean by ill
unless you try to translate what I print to film
This is the line of will, the circle of time
the cycle of eternity, the emergence of 1 line
Academic phonetics render critics tounge-tied
Ive personified dry humor of cum-laude alumni
A wise man sees failure as progress
a fool divorces his knowledge and misses the logic
And loses his soul in the process
obsessed with nonsense with a caricature that has no content
My style is masterful, multi-lateral
I could battle a fool and be naturally cruel
Words of scourn are a disasterous tool
from an existentialist's view, I'm a better rapper then you
Grab the mic and rip your physical fabric in 2
my attitude is fucked up but abrogable
Different methods interpreted into different forms
from entirely different perceptions and seen from different norms
Not to spit in the palm theres much more involved
theres much more pieces of the puzzle for you to solve
48 orders of mechanical laws
and rays of creational cause, enhance the cadence of my bars
Maybe I am self-obsorbed
but thats the effect, to find the cause you should ask my A&R
Today is what it is, but only because yesterday was what it was
permitting you heard of Beezlebub
A tale of demons and drugs, pissy drunk in the club
with the DJ doing the needle rub
Chances are you'll never see me son
yeah I know my names Canibus but I cant help you if you need a dub
I came to holla at some big booty bitches
and listen to the speakers thump, where you get concieded from?
Im so nice on the mic, they wanna beat me up
its deep as fuck, I aint seen it all but ive seen enough
Really unbelievable stuff
theres a lot of times where I wanna speak but I'm stuck
I should leave this rap shit alone
and kick my incredible in rhymes in the privacy of my own home
My imagination is my own
delibity to speak to freely lyrically on the microphone
Wit a pen in my hand, I bring motion to the enyogram
and become "Cani-millenia man"
Grave my back with the emperor's stamp
been spittin scientific rap since the 17th century began
Tryna' escape the wicked empire of Def Jam
and the land where lyrics are bland and heretics hang
Every lawyer has an axe to bury
but he has to learn to disearn between enemy and adversary
I said to myself, "Germaine this is insane
its suicide its controlled flight into terrain"
I fought to regain, control of the plain, but went up in a ball of flames
and got banned from the hip hop hall of fame
For 2 bars I kept hearin in my head
over and over again, it cost me everything
Im convinced now that more then truth is at stake
Where people create language that pretends to communicate
Euphamisms are misundertood as mistakes
but its a bi-product of the ghetto music we make
From an extroverted point of view I think its to late
Hip Hop has never been the same since '88
Since it became a lucrative profession as a misconception
in the movement in any direction as progression
Even though of the potency of it lessens
big money industries writing checks to suppress the question
And nobody gives a fuck no more, no one goes to the book store
ever since the influence of Moore's Law
But I stay in the lab, like Neosporin
The Son of God, Edward Lawrence and Leo Salade
Lyrically I take rap music and turn the knob
to the right full throttle and added panache
Why would I argue with my own conscience over the truth?
thats like me telling myself dont tell me what to do
Dialysies and analysies of battle emcees
sometimes I say things I myself cant believe
My lyrical is so skillfully eliptical
I can understand how it makes you miserable
You wonder why I never let you play your beats for me
or why I keep my studio shrouded in secrecy
You wonder whats my infatuation with Alicia Keyes
"Canibus why dont you speak to me?"
Yo, I meant it when I said no one can shine on a song that features me
thats why I said it so vehemently
You need to place the hate with respect
I'm probably the best yet, Poet Laureate!!!
