let me tell you somethin...i dont suck ra's dick like alot of other cats do, i dont call him god, and i dont even think hes the best thats ever done it, but i will tell you, canibus isnt even in the same league. hes never even put out a classic album, and he probably never will. noreagas wack ass exposed him as a dictionary rhymer, and i havent taken him seriously since then. his voice is annoying, and its very rare that he ever constructs an actual song. in fact, the only cats who listen to him anymore are nerds. if you want to hear about scientific formulas and planets be my guest, cause i dont give a fuck what anyone else likes, but to compare him to rakim, is a slap in the face.

If I recall correctly, Noreaga said he wouldn't rhyme with Canibus anymore because when they where in the studio Canibus brought a dictionary and thesaurus so he could write his verse.

Yep, better check your doubts in the dictionary than come up with more illiterate and ignorant shit.

BTW, "You buss em I'll punish em" was classic. Canibus sucks, tho.

I do, net-MC's who Google their material holds as much weight as bringing a dictionary to the studio.
Using a thesaurus confirms this, why would you need a book to make your verses rhyme.. ??
No wonder he spits so many non-sensical "multis"..

this post is sad, rakim one of the cats who set shit in stone.......one of the cats who layed the foundations, ask nas.......to compare canibus to him is weak..........and that aint no hate to canibus cuz he got some made line no doubt.....but to compare canibus to a legend is crazy

Let me see.

Canibuas
- Always sucked lyrically
- Is one of those "too complex for you" kind of rappers
- Has a shitty voice
- Has a shitty flow
- Couldn't write a meaningful verse if his life would depend on it
- Is fucking overrated

Rakim
- Hasn't progressed since "Don't Sweat The Technique"
- Has a very dated and generic style
- Is boring as a pile of shit now
- Has nothing to really rap about (same can be said about Canibus)
- Is almost as overrated as Canibus

Rakim takes it for being an influencial and interesting figure in the development of rap music. But he didn't progress since he disbanded Eric B. So there are plenty of better rappers around today.

Rakim is a million times better than Canibus.
Title: Re: rakim or canibus
Post by: Twentytwofifty on March 09, 2005, 05:22:40 PM
I guess people didn't read the first post.  He didn't ask who is the better MC or who should have a high spot on the "best ever" list, he asked who more lyrical.  Voice, influence, etc. have nothing to do with that.


With that said Rakim is more lyrical.  Rakim has a huge vocabulary and uses it right, Canibus throws around those big words alot and doesn't even use them right or just uses them for the sake of it.  Here's an example of bullshit:

It's legibly unimaginable, mathematically incalculable
Inextricably infalible
Let's not forget utterly impossible or
Morally unsermountable to assume that I could lose if I battled you


Canibus IS a heavyweight lyrically but he's just not cutting it as a complete MC.  It's not really a stupid question to compare these two lyrically

You do know what a thesaurus is don't you?

Yes, but here lies the question: DO YOU KNOW ?

It's a book of synonyms, and synonyms is words rappers use when they want to use another word that means the same, either to make it sound like he's educated/smart, or TO MAKE ANOTHER WORD/LINE RHYME WITH THE WORD YOU WANT TO USE.
That way, you can make almost anything rhyme, as long as there's a couple of synonyms for the word, it's just a shame that synonyms doesn't always fit the point/sentence you want to express, and must be used with caution, as any English teacher will tell you.

Ok, point taken, I though you were thinking it was simply a book of rhyming words, rather than being, as you quite rightly pointed out, a book of synonyms.
