Canibus - Mic-Nificent Lyrics
[Canibus]
Yo, sittin on chrome, sittin on low pro 20 inch firestones
Grippin the road with the wickedest flow, 'Bis is a pro
I zigzag throughout sly loam
Accelerate and decelerate in and out the cones
Into your dome Osteoperosis your bones,
Who's the nicest nigga you know in the year two triple-oh
Spit turn to icicles in the mid air and slit your throat
Drain your carcass dry rip out your heart bitch
I write rhymes using your blood for my ink cartridges
Paleoanthropologists, polish the bones
of rapper artist after I dip in my hydrochloric waters
Canibus, with the seams burstin, perfect
Everyday the earth spins I write verses
My soul purpose as a verbalist, is to make my words twist
[Chorus: x4]
I'll pray on them, spray on them
First nigga to violate I'll regulate without warning
[Canibus]
Yo, Yo, I'm faster than leopards running across the vast desert
In twenty-two yards per second to catch me to daily delicatessen
With thirty minutes to eat'em, forty minutes to digest 'em
And fifty minutes for it to pass through my intestines
So ask yourself a question - can the Canibus rhyme?
Is a fuckin porcupine half swine?
No time to make up your mind, you wanna run or die?
Clip you while you're running by, trip you up from behind
My rhymes, confuse niggas like somebody try to gang-bang
wearin a blue shirt and red pants,
throwin up signs with their left hand
Standin out on the corner of wetlands
with a confederate flag for a headband
God dam eggplants, niggas gettin me vexed man
Cause I'm surrounded by garbage like Fred Sav
and I can't seem to get away from it
I dreamed that I stabbed Leviathan through the stomach, and ate from it
In my past life I slayed hundreds, and in the life before that
I played trumpets, to warn you that I was comin
There's one billion ways to die, and I already tried
nine-hundred million nine hundred and ninety nine
When I aim and fire my rhymes, like a hundred cannon balls flying
Striking you one at a time, in a parallel line
Why the art of emceein is steady dyin
That nigga Canibus is still in his prime, bust a rhyme
[Chorus: x4]
I'll pray on them, spray on them
First nigga to violate I'll regulate without warning
[Canibus]
Club Dodge, I wrecked that
Limelight, cursed that
Envy, I murdered that
Club SoHo, never heard of that
Wetlands, dried it up
Cheaters, decided to club, fired up
looking for a chicken to tie up
Club New York, I heard it's hot there
beats be rocking there
Too many niggaz be getting stabbed and shot there
Speed, I slowed it down
The Tunnel, they hold it down
Home of the underground, why they always close it down
Century club, the hot shit
House of Blues, I rocked it
One twelve ATL, that's the Dirty South bomb shit
Synagogue, yeah I be there
Caribbean City, roll deep there
Lyricist Lounge, they be some real emcees there
there there [fades out]

Canibus Mic-Nificent Comments
He was a better lyricist than Eminem back in the days but not anymore. Kamikaze and Music to be murdered by
are the next level now
The organic supercomputer!!!!
2020! This shit is still crazy.
Dialect, Flow, and of course Lyrics!
This nigga is niceeee!
Better than j.cole and Kendrick shity songs
Canibus in 2020!
Canibus with these mic skills I doubt you'll even need to regulate
SPEEED? I slowed it down!!!
Some People ask to slow it down, some tired of waiting
but i played trumpets to warn u that i was coming...
Vitriol so potent even bullshit getting digested
And left standing tall like a pyramid under a star looked upon from a far
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼👌🏼👊🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💣🔥🇨🇱2019
Bis is and will always be to man to go to if you wanna learn how to rap..all wanna be rappers must start here! eventually your Slaughter House and other lyricist will come to you.
If you see this commet, that means you have an amazing music taste
People still don't understand canibus. Knowledge was always the new gangster and canibus is one of those artists who supposed to make you pull out a dictionary. Canibus supposed to act angry while pretending to be the hardest gangster<< While getting you to pull out a dictionary, that's how real emcees use to educate the cat in the hat negroes. 2pac also use that psychology on uneducated nigga, hit you with the negative and then spark your brain with the positive.
Thank you for the insight. Knowing the Why behind liking something makes me like it more.
Emirate Professor Canibus
2019 BUMPIN, CANIBUS THE ILLEST
Better than m&m
Hard to believe this guy got beat by a rookie like dizaster
Top 3 lyricists of all time
1. Pharoahe Monch
2. GZA
3. Canibus
ONE
my pick
UN
CHANGE
,.
I
CHANGE
,.THAT
Canibus has more bars than Fort Knox!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Goat beast monsta
Im 30 i was 12 when this came out i bumped this faithfully everyday!!!! I had the first album in 99 tho Bis been my favorite rapper at a early age!!
I was 15 at the time and I swear I went ape shit when I picked up 2000 bc..
Bis da gawd!!!!!!!!!
one of the most INSANE lyrical songs in history and CAnibus owns the top ten easily
Bis is cold!!!!!
i miss the "back in the day" rap videos, so much more quality, concepts and ideas involved
Cannibus is a gift behind the🎤🎤
Canibus number 3 in the
world for having the largest
vocabulary.
Facts!
aesop rock is number 1 and gza 2 i think
@Brolic Bro 😅
Canibus is number one now. That chart was based on the unique words used of the first 30,000 words used of the first two commercial albums of every artist. Aesop Rock was number one, but Mic Club: The Curriculum left everyone in the dust.
@Kreymore You sir, make the rest of us smarter. Well done
Aesop1 busdriver 2
1 Billion ways to die and I already tried 9999999
gecab1G od that line alone had me replaying this song
He actually said 900,000,999 bruh
This song should have been promoted more this is dope
1. NAS
2. CANIBUS
Wack & Forgettable
BioEX1 lmao how is he wack
Foh clown
That is your opinion
Typical LL cool j fan
Those that use blueprints to acknowledge truth are destined to misread them.
yea canibus should been a member of wutang
Yeah you right.
He wanted to go his own way tbh I feel like the world will know about him more if he did
Nah. No dis to wutang but nah.
he has done a lot of tracks with Killah Priest and also Rakim.....
No, it wouldn't have worked. The level of rhyme skill Bis would have brought would have split the Wu lyrically. How many tracks do you see him and U-God doing?
D greatest hiphop mc ever. Urrythang else = jus a fallacy
260k for this. Lmfao there’s food channels getting more views
Holy sh*t bis iz de king without a crown let dat nigga rule
60 people accelerate through the cyclotron at 9 microns.
I'll never understand how more people don't know about Bis the illest lyricist of all time
Agreed. BUT its cool to show to show this to yur friend and get goosebumps cause its almost like you invented him :)
@diph4nt 4life His beats are okay. Not trash at all
I love Can I Bus. My idol.
Canibus, Kool G Rap, GZA, Mos Def, & Nas always been the best lyricists for me.
@AJ SKyles Broflovski MF DOOM
So solid crew 21 seconds to go
Holy shit this is some old school shit, I forgot about this song.
Why the Fuck is this clean
Bro wtf how did niggas ignore him and go with LL back then ? I guess this industry is a popularity/ numbers game.
still bangin this in 2017
Michael Knorr 2018✌💪
No doubt
timeless shit
one of the best ever songs of 2000. #Canibus #2000B.C. #Classic #Album
Can Canibus rhyme?Does a fuckin porcupine have swines???FIIIIIIIIRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE
Real hip hop
ill shit
Now Canibus need an Unsung it's funny how people say Eminem is untouchable when you have emcee's like this out.
They both didn't impress on ther diss tracks nothing to talk about Bis is a better rapper infinite is Eminem's best project
To be honest "lyrically" there is nothing Eminem has ever done that can ever touch this track alone in terms of lyrics. I used to listen to this track before i went to college back then i didn't really listen to the lyrics. In my mid thirties now and damn the lyrics of this track.Can't think of the words to use to describe them.
Maybe they should all rekindle.
We rlly should think and be honest, Eminem and Canibus are on the same level.
@wu tang forever the beef was draw. Bis didn't murder eminem of Em didn't murder bis.
CANIBUS IS A DOPE MC!!
The best
I feel bless known who he is
FLAMES!!!!!!!😉😉😉😉
em not fucking with bis
MeanPenGame 29 Feminem ain't shit
hip hop machine
Da illest rap joint,I aint heard in a wild.
"I'm faster than leopards running across the vast desert
At 22 yards per second to catch me the daily delicatessen" 🔥🔥🔥😥
w 30 mins te eatem 40 mins to digest him AND 50 MINUTES FA IT TO PASS THU MY INTESTINES!!!! WTF
Look up his other shit, anything after 2003 is like this I feel
Too bad he's blacklisted and only a few of us understand who the GOAT is
@Livin' Dead Sure, they are.
AJ SKyles Broflovski there is a reason that this clown has hardly any views and the people he listed do have views
@Yoda It's not about views. It's the skill behind the pen.
@biggest pac fan alive and Biggie
@Livin' Dead Eminem is shit. Only white boys think he's great
Extra-ordinary..
Evryday the erth spin I write versus, my soul purpose as a verbalist is to make my words twist and connect'em like letters when they incursive
"In my last life I slated hundreds in the life before that I played trumpets just to warn you I was coming" Who the fuck is LL?
"Slayed and lol.
Lol yea I know auto correct ain't shit.
@Antonio Pennyman Jr Lol true
"Drain your carcass dry rip out your heart bitch,
I write rhymes using your blood for my ink cartridges"....damn son
my top three canibus albums 1. can I bus 2. melatonin magik 3. 2000 b.c
the censoring haha
DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM FIRE
Lol yeah!
Rap music today 2016 is garbage complete garbage. what every rapper needs to do now is look at this Canibus video and start emulating realness in lyrics every rapper has been talking about bitches, drugs and cars for too long enough!!!!
I don't remember ever giving Bis any undue praise, and most people I've berated were stans who couldn't understand 4+ syllable words. lol
I wasn't bashing whatever could be considered part of whatever canon "modern music" stands for, I simply noted that Hip-Hop as it is known today is garbage. Since you listen to poetry timed to a beat, I expect you to be more mindful of words. I forgot who you are
I do agree that the tradition values of the genre has been diluted for a mainstream artist for the purpose of appealing to a large audience, but I don't see that as something necessarily negative. Stuff evolves. I've listened to Canibus' older stuff and it sounds very mainstream to me. Once he unfortunately flopped, he turned into the more intellectual and anti-mainstream artist that we know today.
"Cash rules everything around me"
yo fuck outta here son, kendrick aint even built for washing Cani's clothes. Ab soul, Schoolboy, J roc all ill as fuck but kendrick has little man syndrome. granted he got some nice tracks but he never dropped the outer higher awareness that cani does on the regular! peace tho man, i respect your opinion but to write off canibus cause of his lack of mainstream success is sucker shit. Listen to his new one "time flys, phoenix rise" its straight knockin and he got pete rock on it too son!
Someone who interviewed Canibus back in 1998 said the two of them agreed they both (Bis and the interviewer) had Napoleon complex (same thing as little man syndrome) so if you're right about Kenny, he and Canibus have something in common. Anyway, why pit two great conscious rappers against one another?
You were discredited the moment you said kendrick lamar was great. He's decent at best
The only thing I don't like about this song is how it ends. The last line isn't strong and it just sort of ends with a thud. I can't think of any other Bis songs that end that way.
Anyway, in regards to your OP, there is the song "2000 B.C." that ends somewhat abruptly.
yeah i thought of that as well
But that's a strong ending. "There be some real MCs there" is not so strong. I think he ends that way because the second to last line is "Lyricist Lounge" so he's saying the real emcees are lyricists, but it's hard to hear that so you lose the impact. It's a great song otherwise tho.
this was the commercial
this was the commercial single off of Canibus second album 2000B.C
only mcs to outshine bis on a track are diabolic and chino xl
diabolic only outshined canibus because he spat at 10%
Fuck no, where? Only time Bis got schooled was by KGR on Allied Meta
Forces. Chino spits fast, but that don't mean he can outshine Bis, and
Diabolic has enough to worry about keeping up with his AOTP brethren and
affiliates.
Killah Priest, Ras Kass, and Kool G. Rap are the only ones who've outshined Bis. Chino had a phenomenal feature on Cypher of 5 Mics but Bis outclassed him. Diabolic is cold but in comparison he's mid-tier to Bis
@Big L Ay bitch I didn't hear that song you asswipe. Fuck off
the best rapper al;ive and his sick computer science mind
This beat is crazy
+Brooklyn Finest One of the best beats in Bis's career.
@Himaryous pretty much
One word. Dope!!!! Possible the greatest of all time.
av been looking for this jam my whole life now i got i thank you technology sick rymz my brother got
While the art of emceein' is steady dyin that nigga Can I Bus is still in his prime.
Rip out your heart bitch i write rhymes using your blood for my ink cartridges
1 of the best lyricists and always keeping it real , staying true to himself , much respect bruv
this was the lead single from the classic #2000BC #CANIBUS
No it was 2000bc actually
Cool, i didn't know he had music videos.
EXCELLENT
This is Real HipHop at its best!!!!
Bus could possibly be the g.o.a.t!
HE DEFINITELY IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Connor MUFC As a lyricist, he's most likely top 3.
Top 10 at most in my opinion
SICK!!! SUBSCRIBE FOR NEW CANIBUS VERSES PXR!!
@SerbianEaglecccc2 Nas is more of a gangsta rapper, his lyrics are not unique except for a few lines, but we all must remember he wrote the song "No Idea's Original" he is saying no MC is original...
even Rakim took his cards from someone...
"No idea's original, there's nothing new under the sun
It's never what you do, but how it's done
What you base your happiness around? Material, women, and large paper
That means you inferior, not major"
Canibus is very much slept on as well as, AZ, Tech N9ne, Cormega,Raekwon etc...
Eminem is a mainstream puppet now...
I couldn't wait to buy MMLP....
Now i can't say the same...
All it takes is ill lyrics done a way no one else does it
AZ, check
Canibus, check
Nas, check
Tech N9ne, check....
end of story...
@Daniel Arrington I don't know you either but I respect people who keep composure and don't argue at every little thing. If people could do that we'd all be able to agree and learn. But I'll keep my dream to myself. Hope you had a great Christmas season and have a great new year.
how is nigga and shit swears... nigga is technically not even a word so they are just censoring syllables
FUKIN AMAZING ASS TRACK THIS VID HAS TO MANY CENSORED PARTS THO FUCK VEVO! SO I PUT THE EXPLICIT VERSION WHILE WATCHING THE VID MUTED MATCHED THE VID WITH THE EXPLICIT TRACK AND BOO YAH PERFECT !~
@Hip-Hop Homework YOUR A FUCKING LAME .. TRY AGAIN LOSER
@Hip-Hop Homework LAME ASS NIGGA YOU A CORNBALL
@INternatiol Beethoven
go back to school, dumb dumb!
@Hip-Hop Homework NIGGA SHUT THE FUCKK UP LAME ASS BITCH
@INternatiol Beethoven
I bet you can't count to 10...
I bet you still can't get past the letter J when you recite the alphabet.
Nobody cares what you think about anything 'cause you're a moron.
And nobody ever will care.
2~fingers, idiot!
NO EMINEM FUKING SUCKS HE ALTERED THE SPEED OF HIS LYRICS ON HIS NEW ALBUM AND HE EVEN HAD THE FUKING NERVE TO CALL THE SONG RAP GOD PSSSH YEA RIGHT CANIBUS NEVER SPED UP HIS LYRICS TO TRY AND SOUND KOOL FUKIN EM IS WACK ... CANIBUS IS HIPHOP GOD
INTERNATIONALNEWYORKMEXICAN Yoy only say that because you can't do it
You must be talking about the candy. I prefer Canibus.
Eminems way better
Yeah right eminem is better sure Not!!!
Screw off stan
A better rapper but not a better lyricists
@Adedamola Odutayo And that's the point. Brittany Spears outsells the Beattles, but neither fanbase cares. Em understood the formula as Dre gave it to him and made a fortune. Now he stays in his backpack and guess what? Not the same numbers. People buy what scratches their itch and for those of us who want to study more than be entertained, we know where to go...
Canibus isn't past his prime. The man is coming out with 10000 bars! This is going to be the craziest thing hip hop has seen in a looooong time. After 10000 bars it'll be his last
failed is subjective. he grew as a man. he's beyond the mainstream and even was back then. that is what you're considering failure.
Even master bus Mainstream is too lyrical for most lol
Lyrically!!! Be real, you need to name better MC's to prove Canibus is untouchable, Canibus, not in 6 billion universes could ever think of stepping to Freestyle Fellowships, Myka 9, let alone Aceyalone or any other Freestyle Fellowship member, and even Hieroglyphics has more flavor and style then this fool Canibus's vocabulary could even begin to decribe or understand...let alone Gift of Gab, Psyche Origami, or Haiku d'tat...Just saying if you haven't heard of those 20 year plus veterans, pshh!
I haven't heard of those 20 year veterans. Could you name some of their best songs so i can stop being ignorant? In the age of mumblr rap i need as much good music as i can get.
THat's funny. An Eminem ad on a Canibus video.
Ayo I'm faster than leopards runnin across the vast desert at 23 yards per second
that beat is sickly
You can't just write Canibus off for losing one battle. Everyone has lost at some point, haven't they? Besides, Canibus had nothing to prove, really; Dizaster had EVERYTHING to prove, and he did, and props to him for that. However, to somehow write Canibus off as being one of the greatest lyricists of all-time, all because he lost a battle rap, is ridiculous. Talk to just about anyone and they'll tell you that Canibus is one of the best of all-time, without question.
What about Dizaster?
Dizaster lost to cassidy
because his career failed he "decided" to go underground
