Canibus have put himself in a nogain-situation. After that album with Wyclef flopped, he should be moving on to new producers or atleast reinvent himself. Instead he starts dissing in every direction, making him sound like a little crying bitch. LL knocked him out after that diss, he continues dissing LL, Wyclef, now Beanie & Eminem, so no-one really wants to work with him anymore, and he lost much of his image through this process. He's left with relatively unknown producers & unknown cameos on his album. He burnt a lot of bridges, and had to start from scratch again, almost like a new rapper with 100 demos inside his trenchcoat.

I see your point, now what would happen if Canibus, as he says in "I Gotta Story To Tell" signs with Suge?  

I just think that Canibus needs direction, kinda what Dre was to Snoop.

In one song he says he should hook up with Suge, and in another he says Jigga should put him Roc-a-fella. Yer right, he needs direction.

It seems that he can be capable of so much more but its just not happening.  Man has a sick flow and has a crazy vocabulary.  Who can honestly beat him in a battle?

God I hope Suge signs him :)

he can't put out a decent album, that's why everyone hates on him. Sure, he can kill anyone in a battle, but when it comes to layin' down tracks for an album he just plain sucks. He needs new producers, a whole new line of direction, and that father figure  :'(

Canibus was going a good rout when he used to hang with LL. He'd be tight on Def Jam, but since then he has been fucked. I think he'd be perfect for Rawkus, imagion with their roster, adding Canibus to their producers, it'd be a match made in hip-hop heaven. He needs the underground sound. 2000 B.C. was not bad, but his rhymes were missed directed. Just get someone to point him in the right direction, and I think Rawkus would be a natural fit.

I wouldnt say that Canibus's albums completely suck! I thought 2000 B.C. kicked ass. Yeah his last album was lacking. I think you are mostly right though about him needing to hook up with the right producers. LL did not win that battle though.....

2000BC was amazing imo...Can-I-Bus was pretty tight and his new album was garbage with an exception of 3 or 4 tracks...lookout for 2 new canibus cd's this year though, one will be released with some unreleased shit from an ex-lable and he is currently working on another so, we'll see alot more of him this year, peace.
