  • Diz gon kill him

  • This Guys An Educated Poet!!

  • I chuckled when KRS talked about Canibus not being common... then Common shows up lmao

  • is this on a movie, tv show or something?

  • @07111769 yeah its called "the MC"

  • @07111769 its a documentary,THE ART OF 16 bars

  • i really think common sense should do more songs with canibus 

  • I really cannot stand hearing KRS-One talk. He is so self righteous. Dope freestyle though, as usual by Canibus.

  • @svengali0924 i totally agree... id rather hear a cat dying than listen to that dumb fuck speak, i cant stand his speech pattern and attitude.

  • Canibus: purely cerebral, brilliant, clever, and gritty. KRS: This guy should get an honorary doctorate. A true scholar, for real. He brings the culture of hip-hop to the world that challenges the populous to think.

  • @soulinthewall77

    Canibus is one of the best MC's to do it.But the trick is to be dope and have what your saying comprehensible.When an MC breaks down the chemical composition of things and then gets into detail about the fastest engines it sounds good can you actually grasp it without researching every line.What made/makes Rakim,Kane,KRS,Nas,Mos Def,Kool G,B.I.G (RIP) ect...So highly regarded as lyricist is that they could flow,lyrical content and what they where saying was 99% comprehensible.

  • @ESSENCEOFEACHTHING , right thats where I think bis went wrong with his more recent music his 90s stuff was pretty comprehensible though.

  • None of them could comprehend what he was saying. lol. Just kept ranting about how he was speaking on another level. Canibus for President!!!

  • @daphool101 The DVD 16 Bars: The Art of Rhyme

  • @seattletyrida its on Netflix!

  • @daphool101 The DVD 16 Bars: The Art of Rhyme

  • canibus should have said "Photons" , not Protons, they sound almost the same, na mean science educated cats

  • He is wordy but in the end what he says amounts to nothing really. Just verbose ways of saying simple stuff. Protons hitting retinas? If you break down what he says you would see that a good portion of the things he say dont make sense.

  • @THEVIDEOARBITRATOR how some things just dont connect in your brain, and all you see is black - metaphor for racism

  • @THEVIDEOARBITRATOR that's why he mentioned bridging the gap right before. im really surprised that nobody in the entire comments section got this

  • @dhtjlghks what do u mean bridging the gap? bridging the gap between what?

    also, what do u mean nobody in the entire section got this?

    Canibus can be nice sometimes but he is very inconsistent and he has a lot of words that amount to nothing really. protons dont hit retinas, photons hit retinas. that is just one of the scientific shit he says that is inaccurate

  • @THEVIDEOARBITRATOR what do you think. i did say he's talking about racism... now do you get it?

    i'll even spell it out for you - bridging the gap between races (all you see is black, if you don't "attack" (which has the connotation of "initiative") - if you dont take the initiative, you will only see from one POV)

    it doesnt even matter to me that it's inaccurate, because he used it as a metaphor. lyrical stuff. take a literature class, you'll see lyricism in a whole new light.

  • @dhtjlghks Alright calm down. I took plenty of literature classes. Read a dictionary buddy. Because lyricism is a part of songs, not literature. there is a big difference. Secondly he isnt talking about race. Bridging the gap doesnt refer to races. Read a dictionary to know what the idiom means. he didnt mention race at all, he was talking about the difference between poetry and rap. When he said bridge the gap he used it inaccurately to describe educating those who dont know the difference.

  • @dhtjlghks Also I dont think you even have the knowledge to even grasp what Canibus says. He uses words that go beyond your comprehension. When he says if protons dont hit the retinas then we wont be able to see because sight depends on PHOTONS and wavelengths. Next time you try to trounce somebody on a subject, be knowledgeable on the topic first. So metaphorically what is he trying to say? How does this line relevant to the lines he said prior to it? Its verbose gibberish.

  • @THEVIDEOARBITRATOR how do you expect me to believe that you took lit classes when you couldnt understand the conclusion of my post... i already acknowledged he was wrong about protons. (this could be attributed to bad handwriting). i know what photons and protons are.

    anyway, how does the line go with the ones prior? well, i already explained bridging the gap (btw, idioms arent in the dictionary, moron. nice job.), which refers to any two separate entities. dont be ignorant and think it cant

  • refer to races. he does mention poetry and rap, good point. but, once again, you missed something - poetry and rap have almost always been seen as mutually exclusive. why is this? because poetry has always been seen as white man sport, and rap as ghetto music. basically, white and black, the two races that are always in question. thank you for further helping me prove my point, that he's talking about racism.

    how are you going to say that literature and lyricism are different, and completely

  • neglect that poetry and rap are also two different entities, which represent the white and black communities, which he is bringing together, (by creating rap which is poetry and vice versa)?

  • @dhtjlghks wow there is so many things wrong with your supposition but i will condense my criticism. poetry and rap do not represent different racial communities. how would you even come up with that notion is beyond me.

  • @THEVIDEOARBITRATOR apparently, you dont know what a metaphor is... he's using them to symbolize the races in this particular song. how you reject the idea so quickly is beyond me - rap has always been seen as black music, and again, poetry has been associated with high society, if not white society.

  • @dhtjlghks i know what a metaphor is but i dont see the proof that this is a metaphor being that he is talking about scientific shit and not racial shit. ur theory has zero credibility

  • @THEVIDEOARBITRATOR lol... so i guess it must be impossible to use scientific shit to symbolize anything... cuz that's what youre saying, you're saying that him using metaphors and speaking about science are mutually exclusive. lolol dumbass...

    zero credibility? in your own eyes, obviously, but that's just because of the belief you just stated^ ('you cant talk science and be deep'). i can say, your theory has no credibility, seeing as many have done it before.

  • @dhtjlghks Alright you really are a fucking retard. He didnt say anything that explicit or even implicitly suggest race for you to even get something about race from it. Poetry is not associated with high culture and high culture isnt even synonymous with white people. You form a premise with no conclusions to validate it. Do I have to break this whole thing down line for line. I only have 500 words to work with, so I dont want to write a huge treatise on why you are wrong.

  • 1:41 ...WHAT did he say?? i hope i misheard.

  • @neohariseldon he said canibus is cold

    thats not a bad thing though, the slang word cold can mean unforgiving, ruthless, etc

    in this case hes saying canibus is a real good rapper, not many people could touch him.

  • @neohariseldon Have u ever heard the track he did with Canibus? Takes a real man to admit when somebody else ate them on their own track.....

  • "faster than dragsters faster than c17 globemasters or f22 raptors" canibus is ill

  • KRS1 THE LEGEND RESPECTS CANIBUS THAT MUST MEAN HE MUST BE AT LEAST ABIT GOOD

  • @StraightRapping cant say the same for lil wayne

  • Common and Bis should get together and collab again imo

  • He didn't kinda get Common on that song they did together, Canibus murdered him! I was shocked that Com came so weak when I heard it, cuz usually he spits some tight ass verses. Still, Canibus just embarrasses him on that song.

  • COMMON IS DOPE ESPECAIILY HIS OLD SHIT BUT YOU SEE AT THE END HOW HE SAID CANIBUS KINDA ONE UPPED HIM WHEN THEY DID A TRACK TOGETHER? AND HE WISHED HE COULDA REWROTE HIS VERSE...WELL THATS A BIG REASON WHY CANIBUS NEVER MADE IT BIGGER BECAUSE MOST OTHER EMCEES WERE UPSET THAT CANIBUS OUTSHINED THEM ...THAT AND THE FACT CANIBUS PRODCUTIONS WERNT ALWAYS GREAT AND HIS BEATS NEEDED HELP...BUT HE DID GET BLACKLISTED BY ARTISTS OUT OF FEAR I BELIVE..BACK IN THE 90S LYRICS WERE VERY IMOPORTANT

  • krs one and common commented on this? wow

  • I mean photons cause vision, not protons....

    So Canibus got that wrong...

  • It's not the protons, it's the photons....

    He got that wrong!

  • @darkpants16 Congratulations! You're officially the millionth person who's pointed that out - would you like a cookie? lol

  • @Krawnikal This videos only had 145k views.

  • @matanuska10 People watch this DVD outside of youtube as well, lmao.

  • Duffman should never be allowed to comment on hip hop again on this board I love Immortal technique but he doesn't wanna see Canibus either

  • Dude for a rapper, Common is not very articulate at all.

    Listen to KRS-One talk and then listen to Common.  It's obvious why KRS is a professor and Common is a broke underground rapper.

  • @Monkeyman2357 lmfao its like the other way around

  • @Monkeyman2357 Common? Broke and Underground? You must be listening to a different Common. I hear him on the radio more KRS lol! And I live in Cali! Common definitelty isn't broke and I assure you he isn't Underground..

  • @Monkeyman2357 Common went to Florida A & M. Broke?? The guy has movie money!!! But yes you are right about him being an underground rapper but he has songs with mass appeal...I like Canibus, KRS, and Common...For a rapper in today's climate Common is a genius!!!

  • in like 100 years people r probably gonna listen to canibus, his music will the only ones fit for the future

  • what documentary is this from? it looks like the mc dvd, but i've seen the whole thing and i don't remember this part

  • Comment removed

  • Canibus is Lyrically INSANE

  • canibus the illest

  • Cool that KRS-One representing, cool.

  • is this a verse from "sparti-'something?

  • canibitch sucks cock, if i ever saw him id dub him out cause he talks like hes so tough or somthin

  • @duffman1221 good job at being an e-thug

  • @duffman1221 You don't wanna battle Bis eminem fan Leave that to Em and he may be able to get Em to Jay-z and Beanie was scared to battle this dude Jigga already got murdered by Nas so just imagine Bis

  • @skillarecords i agree nga

  • @duffman1221 You don't wanna see Canibus man leave it to Em and he may even get him Jay-z didn't want none after he dissed him and Beanie

  • @skillarecords wtf are u talkin about. make sure u can speak english before you talk, illiterate bastard. btw eminem sucks.

  • @duffman1221 let me break this down in english YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE CANIBUS DO YOU UNDERSTAND HE IS A REAL MC You try to talk about hip hop but don't no the slang ideoit

  • @skillarecords wut ever im done arguing with a idiot. immortal technique and necro are the best period.

  • @duffman1221 em does not suck, canibus just lyrically better than him and this coming from a true em fan.

  • @duffman1221 no he is smart though maybe you should have graduated highschool. If you had you might actuallly understand canibus's lyrics, cause just about everything he spits has some factual backround. Plus you KNOW YOU WILL NEVER RAP LIKE CANIBUS SO STOP BEING A HATER AND GROW UP IF YOU DON"T LIKE THE SONG GET THE F UU K OF THIS PAGE AND GO TROLL SOMEWHERE ELSE.

  • @duffman1221 SHUT UP SOULJA BOY

  • check out these dude from LA they just did some work with Canibus & Chino XL, FIRE!!!!!!!!

    cnc squad feat canibus

  • i wonder how long it takes for bis to put together a verse his shit is bananas

  • ILLEST LYRICIST EVER. PERIOD.

  • the answer is simple in fact, if the protons don't attack the retina all we'd ever see is black, no ability no extraocular motility, silly mcs can't see me lyrically or VISUALLY, they'll never be better than me, i'll triple team em with a trinity severed in 3, and give them 9 enemies, faster than dragsters, faster than c-17 globemasters or f-22 raptors.. woooooow

  • lol not taking anything away from common but canibus ripped him on "making a name for ourselves" with all those crazy visual lyrics... but they're both ill at the end of the day

  • insane

  • taintedeyez you think your smart because uve been spoon fed certain fields in scientific study for years on end? no one gives a fuck about your masters, do you really think your smart? ill challenge you too lets just take a look into something you dont have masters in bitch, dont make me confuse you tot he point that google cant even help you

  • yo yall canibus fans, check out a new trak he did with sum LA cats. look up CnC squad feat Canibus. fire!!

  • Comment removed

  • @BRANNUjerzy  we see light because of photons, not protons your heavily mistaken. proton emission is a form of radiation nothing to do with how we see light.

  • @DILOWASERE LOL YA YOU UNLOCKED THE KEYS TO HUMAN SIGHT!! YOU DID BRO! LMAO Sight has to do with light being reflected off surfaces, lights corrolates to electron movement life ALL ELECTRONICS DO basically everything we do as humans. Electrons and protons are related because electrons move from positive to negative terminals. To claim that you understand how sight works.... Come on now, whats your scientific background sir??? I challenge you as a masters in electrical engineering from UCSD!!

  • @taintedeyez explain to me how proton emission is going to affect what we see? as far as am concerned we see because of electromagnetic radiation. the visible part of it.

  • @DILOWASERE LOL YA YOU UNLOCKED THE KEYS TO HUMAN SIGHT!! YOU DID BRO! LMAO Sight has to do with light being reflected off surfaces, lights corrolates to electron movement life ALL ELECTRONICS DO basically everything we do as humans. Electrons and protons are related because electrons move from positive to negative terminals. To claim that you understand how sight works.... Come on now, whats your scientific background sir??? I challenge you as a masters in electrical engineering from UCSD!!

  • @bryanrhodes1234 Oh my God...only on Youtube can you find something like this. What does masters degree in electrical engineering have anything to do with this Mr. UCSD?? Chill u silly goof! Trolling or not, just the thought of having to make things which should remain in laymens terms by unraveling it into mathematical "calculus or Astrophysics" bag of Trix is unnecessary! lol

  • Protons are needed for the chemical reaction to take place. Electrons move from positive potential to negative potential materials. Therefore they are necessary for the chemical reaction of sight to take place. Trust me protons are necessary for sight and by "protons attacking the retina" hes just referring to electrons moving to spark sight which can also be perceived as an attack electrically.

  • My opinion: KRS ONE. The professor, the teacher: the man that merges hip-hop culture with scholarship. Canibus: skill and briliance, unparalleled. His talent is otherworldly.

  • what dvd is this from?

  • its photons people not protons. protons r rather found in the nucleus of an atom

  • i was saying the same thing... projectile protons means death by radiation not vision

  • i want the other raps from that dvd i cant find them anywhere n i dnt wanna buy or rent it cuz those were the only good parts. can someone tell me if they r online somewhere so i can download it

  • It's worth buying, you can get it off Itunes. Don't think it's online

  • @ucfbaj  what dvd iis this from ?

  • @Ashantiwarriorkaos The MC: Why We Do this

  • whats this clip from? from a dvd maybe?

  • lmao @ him holding a pool stick

  • That was fucking amazing. Are we sure it wasnt a written?

  • It's the 3rd verse from spartibus

  • it was written then memorized...thats still a freestyle

  • not at all, what the fuck is wrong with you

  • so u think Big l came up with all of his freestyles at the spot he performed'em?? u think eminem came up with his freestyles in the radio station while rapping?? think about it

  • Quantum coupling mechanism some technical shit.lol..I wonder wats the point, either way, thatz verse 3 from spartibuz rip the jacker...dope though

  • i thought it was photons that hit the retina and not protons. ??

  • good vid, good to see common ,being humble, not many other mc, will admit they got ripped to death.

  • Lol, Common and KRS don't have a basic education? Canibus is saying the protons in a beam of light is what reflects off the retina and gives vision, and without the light you'll only see black. And what Canibus is really saying is that he's the proton that brings light to the game. That's some sophisticated metaphor right there. Canibus was, is, and will always be king!

  • this fool mad just because he doesnt know what the words mean. canibus is a genius

  • did this come out b4 rip the jacker coz that was his 3rd verse on spartibus

  • how do you know he's not smart,have you even listened to his catalogue

  • your trying to say canibus isnt smart? your dumb. listen to this mans music.

  • it's not about using the "big words", its about understanding them and being able to put them in a verse properly, such as canibus's music.

  • perfect way to put it... people can have an extended vocab and be book smart, but can't put a ill rhyme together with what they know.. it ain't just about using "big words" .. and some of them big words are literally small in size, but just not commonly used... so we coined the term "big words"...

  • ....because we're smart : )

  • whos we?

  • any1 that listens to canibus....except for you....because your stupid...

  • okay. steven hawking doesn't listen to cannibus. is he stupid? you pseudo faggit

  • no....hes a genius...but your a retard....have a nice day : )

  • shut faggit. you dont know shit about science and math. you just read gay agartha shit created by some fat dike you conspiracy dick sucker. ill hack you and rape you and decapitate you

  • what a mature intelligent response...

  • which is why this is called hip hop, which was originally started to send messages to the people and let them know whats going on...which is what underground hip hop is doing to this day....now if you want stupid ignorant rap...then go turn on the tv im guessing your a lil wayne fan too...and please...dont even bring out the money equals talent arguement...because everyone knows that it doesnt....thankyou...

  • oh yeah. reptilians are taking over the globe and we need to stop them by astral projecting and jerking in mars and eating caca

  • lol....no....you got that one wrong as well...the private bankers are taking over the world...do your homework....sheep...

  • and what are you gonna do about it? thats right nothing. your all talk.

  • i do hope you understand that by constantly attacking me it is making you look like a fool right??? go play somewhere else little boy...

  • there is nothing wrong with knowledge

  • did i say there's something wrong with it? pipi head

  • sorry but rap is hip hop..hip hop includes rap, graffiti, dj'ing, beatboxing...

  • "...we are advocating that hip-hop is not,

    just a music, it is an attitude, it is an awareness, it is a way

    to view the world. So rap music, is something we do, but HIP-HOP,

    is something we live. And we look at hip-hop, in it's 9 elements;

    which is breaking, emceeing, graffiti art, deejaying, beatboxing,

    street fashion, street language, street knowledge, and street

    entrepenurialism - trade and business."

    - KRS-One (From the interview at the end of his song "Hip Hop Knowledge").

  • agree'd lol

  • Cassidy is better than canibus? Don't be a fucking moron.

  • AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • canibus is the MC of MC's, the Beast of Beasts

  • What is this show called??

  • The name of the Dvd is The Mc

  • "What he's actually saying, is on a level that is not common"

  • Canibus is the "Baddest M-Other, F-Ucker"

  • what's the name of the freestyle where he spits that line?

    " the baddest M-other F-ucker

    let me break the style down so you don't have to wonder "

    used to listen to that couple years ago

    been looking for it it's dope as hell but totally forgot the name

    if u could post that name round here somewhere THANKS!

  • lol i aint sure what freestyle, it was on a compilation. But Everyone listen to "Make A Name For Ourselves", Canibus really outdid Common.

  • HiphopRapManiac already gave me the answer (it's marked as spam now)

    he made a compilation Canibus Raw Rhymen on his page

    p's

  • canibus - slang scarfaces

  • 97 mentality freestyle

  • Immortal Technique killed him few weeks ago in a freestyle battle but Canibus put up a good fight.

  • WHAT!? THIS Finally happened this was my dream match do you think there's a video or track from the place they battled? and wow must of been a complexed punchline battle which is ILL

  • not official video but people recorded it with their phones so its bound to show up sooner or later

  • did it show up??

  • hes good but BEAST is better

    you tube: temple of hip hop

  • This is on Spartibus

  • this verse is on the song "spartibus" as well if i recall correctly

  • hahaha KRS-One talks way to proper, especially in the documentary "he is talkin on a level that is not common" lol

  • yeah.I was just thinkin of that,next think u know common shows up.lol

  • um...you think because he used common instead of something else, he's talking "way to proper"?...you're a fool, and the guy that replied to this comment before me is lame as hell....

  • yes...because he could have easily said that Canibus is intelligent or something along that line

  • but intelligent(which i dont think you are) is a bigger word than common....you're not proving your case very well....

  • "damn, i wish i had re-wrote my rap"! that from fucking common! nuff sed.

  • There was one of these with redman freestyle on it but i cant it on youtube anymore. anybody know where it is?

  • hip hop aint dead canibus jus kidnapped it

  • lol

  • hip hop aint dead it just lives underground

  • Guess u can say d same thing bout dead people "they ain't dead, they just live 6 feet under". I hope hip-hip is just on hold (till real rappers takeover) n not totally dead.

  • haha man i think u post this in every canibus video ur a pimp;)
