Canibus - Showtime at the Gallow

[chris54137]

Canibus= G.O.A.T.

[smoothcriminal28]

i think half of my life's knowledge birthed from this album... lmao. i swear 2 god... there are references and information here for years and years.

[smoothcriminal28]

this song is in canibus's top 5 greatest achievements in hip hop. the whole album is nasty really... rip the jacker will be getting even more credit in like 50 yrs. It's truly one of the smartest, most incredible story telling journeys Ive ever taken. Whether it's an album, book, film, etc. The guy is a phenomenom.

[BIGWHITE514]

I love this song I listen to it before going to school after and in my house its the best.

[FenceDaGreat]

"Call COMSAT, tell em to you need suppressive fire for troops in the back, stat!"

Damn, crazy lyrics. Also it's kinda ironic that "Arabic" rhymes with "Terrorist". I'm not a racist or anything, just funny for the people who are.

[BassBeatsProductions]

Stoupe is underrated. Period

[thirdeyeindoctrine]

I dialogue with Amon-Ra till he gives me the nod and replaces me with a supercomptuer automaton, I don't barter for time I'm a martyr for rhymes, a selfish soldier with pride that was ordered to die...bananas

[Heddan1992]

@thirdeyeindoctrine sounds like HoN

[triple6mafia187]

[SK828]

"ill murder you and stare at your pets" .......it made me sigh out loud, and i have been listening to this album in my changer for years. Not to menition i looked it on you tube so i could listen to the beat and lyrics, while i stare and the computer and follow.

[youngblacmale]

@SK828 ayo mayn can u explain me that line? i couldn't get it..

[SpicyGrape]

This song is AMAZING! Nice job 'Bis.

[4o8o15o16o23o42o]

[Noctoural88]

3rd verse is untouchable

[goodcitymusic]

[Chaoten4Life]

one of the best beats i ever heard

[jusosick]

Bis was exposing too much shit...he definitely studied Kemet and the Masons

[Shill3r]

Stoupe of JMT done the whole album!!!

[Oreillyisthebest]

I'm an animal I'll murder you and stare at your pets!!

Only cani could say some ill shit like that

[Oreillyisthebest]

[Auxiliary84]

The greatest discovery since 'opethicus afarensis

Back to before Sumerians landed on the Cayman

In the Caribbean carryin' bacteria with antige....LOL wow homie knows whats up

[limen]

But anywayz CANIBUS GO HARDER THAN STEEL

[ranalllllll]

@ djdnile. 50 cent used it on his guess whos back mixtape its titled doo wop freestyle. i dont know if it was origanally his but its defiently that beat hope this helps.peace.

[bhuj89]

its epmd - symphony off out of business

[PhilaBul]

By far one of the best hip hop albums of all time. This was Canibus greatest cd.

[alyo3512]

agree this album is an absolute classic still listen to it alot!

[sfknns]

this songs is proof that canibus isn't just a 1 demensional mc who only raps about how lyrical he is! he can tell stories, be lyrical, have humor, etc! so fuck all those fags saying that bs!

[Christoffski]

I wish that every time 'Bis made an album he would just do his bit, write the lyrics, record the acapellas and send them to Stoupe and let him do all the producing and stuff. This is perfect. 'Bis is an absolute monster and Stoupe creates art. The perfect combination.

[glx1987gal]

word word word

[FortWhatever]

He should do the same for Rip The Jacker II....

And another album, and this is only in a dream for me, why not get DJ Premier....lol....

[wallet619]

@Christoffski stoupe is where he belongs homie with vinnie but i agree that would be pritty sick bruh

[PawwwPrintzzzBLVD]

@Christoffski ... I feel it ...

[hawie55]

@Christoffski , man i've been saying that for a while now. Everytime i hear anything from rip the jacker i think damn man why isn't he teaming up with stoupe again. But stoupe is probably busy with JMT. For RTJ infinity he should let stoupe rok on a track or 2. althought lately canibus's beats been on point honestly.

[Christoffski]

@hawie55 Fair post. The beats have been nice in recent times.

[smoothcriminal28]

@Christoffski i agree man.. bis and stoupe need to collabo again.

[blackcapj]

this dude def is top 10 in hip hop history

[1drunkcrustpunk]

Holy shit this came out in 2003, I feel old when I've been rapping since before this!!! And still can't rap this good!!! My Mutha Fuckin Influence!!!

[ikohi]

yeh pilot same sample but it is produced kinda differently sik tune tho g.

[ArabicPilot]

yea i think Stoupe the enemy of mankind produced rip the jacker. since he jedi mind's DJ, maybe he produced both the songs.

[TrevorClarke56]

Canibus sent stoupe Accapellas. stoupe produced the beats to the raps, which i find is harder to do, and guess what. this album is Canibus' best selling album. Stoupe is way too underated. By the way, hes not JMT's dj, thats DJ Kwestion. Stoupe is JMT's producer.

one love

[carlitos07way]

damn he wrote music to an accapella. wow! skill

[weaponsofmasturbatio]

I dunno if it's just limited to Kwestion though, I was pretty sure that Stoupe did some occasionally.

[wootachoo]

haha dope beat! definitely pirate music lol

[ArabicPilot]

im witcha, but its the same beat on "army of the pharaohs - the hunted" i think

[catbus01]

good call!

[glx1987gal]

thats because stoupe produced the whole album..(the producer from Jedi Mind Tricks)

[theZodiacDigital]

pirate music? as someone has stated earlier, it's based on salsa...

[dandermody222]

im an animal ill murder u and stare at ur pets

no body could fuck with bis

[Back0Pack]

LOL.

[Ashantiwarriorkaos]

CANIBUS = an avergage MC2 time a billions

but as long as canibus dusnt give in to the mason/iluminati/baphomet he wll neva beEXTREMELY BIGGG

[licoricerain]

that's why a lot of popular MCs that were really good never hit the mainstream. like mc lyte. true mcs care about their music and fans not money and fame. hence underground hip hop and rap was born

[Wolviepayne]

STOUPE

with the LIVE SALSA FLAVOR!

HAHA

[wastintimelikitsfree]

canibus can do everything in his raps.....

rhyme well at the same time telling a story, at the same time with a greater meaning in it, he can rap fast and punchline like no other, and then can flip it and rap slow....he has every type of spitting mastered

in other words, he can do EVERYTHING every other MC can plus more

[mkkz2]

um sorry, but if u diss bis u an ass. he is gifted n he was clarifying thats he grown from d diss songs he put up. so him respect cuz he shows great dexterity n pain wen he raps. it doesn't matter about his vocals but his messages dat all n if u only worry about quantum you really 4 get about quality. not 2 sound like a wise but if canibus wasn't ahead of his time he could have been the catalyst of changing dis dreary of rap. ps sweet beat combining 2 genre into 1 is gud keep it up.

[mysticblade35]

I just read that Stoupe had to produce this with only the a cappellas.

Shit, he's the best producer out there.

[piranha55x]

best producer of all time in my opinion

[Krawnikal]

I always hear people say this and it's true, but don't forget you have to have some good acapellas to work with as well.

[mysticblade35]

Oh, don't get me wrong, they're damn good. Most producers create a beat, and MCs work with what they're given. With this album, Stoupe's approach is so unconventional, and it works perfectly. This album is easily in my top 5 hip-hop albums.

[kurupt135]

Canibus is the BEST ! P E R I O D !

[tobio981]

ur brain would probably have melted before you thought up one of these lines !

[cassiusdayoungshaft]

i never heard canibus say he makes beats....but jmt made every beat on this album i hear he sent them the vocals and they made the beats around that....thats what they say.....but yeah in my top 3 albums ever maybe 2

[RShahProductions]

Does Canibus actually write his own lyrics though? They're amazing, but does he have a writer?

[Jeefs]

for shure he writes em himself, common dude, that's why canibus is so great

[RShahProductions]

If so, he really is a great rapper!! Who composes his beats?

[KopakaRapChannel]

him and some of his freinds do the beats

[RShahProductions]

Thanks.

[bababaloona]

Depends on the album, but for Rip the Jacker it was mostly Stoupe, wich always makes pieces of art.

[LibraryofAlexandry]

@Jeefs

Anyone that suggest my man Canibus has a ghost writer deserved to be locked somewhere in the himalayas

[ThaGiver]

this sounds like a jmt beat

[Lostaries]

Because stoupe made it haha~

[cynikal30]

Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind produced this whole album.... I feel like I got a deal after paying 20 bucks for it... it's that good.

[Aerodynamic1991]

'Yo, I dialogue wit Amen-Ra 'til he gives me the nod, or replaces me with a supercomputer automaton'

canibus is the best lyricist ever

[DeftJay]

I just wanna see how people respond to this...

Aesop Rock vs Canibus?

Somewhat different styles but both lyrical masters, who do ya'll think would win? If you don't know Aesop, listen to some of his shit before answering; I suggest Night Light, Pigs, Water, 39 Thieves and Catacomb Kids. I personally believe Aesop is better, but of course he's my favorite hip hop artist haha so I threw this question out there. Ima copy it to some Aesop vids too.

[vengaairport]

I'd have to go with Canibus. I find Aesop's lyrics are impossible to understand, and half of the time I dunno what he's saying. And Canibus has a more enjoyable voice, and gets hooked up with better beats.

[cadejigs123]

Theyre both great, i'd go with Aesop though. Even though he can be hard to understand i feel that hes just lyrically brilliant.

[CheezemanCheddar]

I like Aesop. My buddy got one of his albums a while ago.

But, if we are gonna see if Aesop is on Canibus' level, then we gotta break his style down and his weaknesses:

*His flow style is nice, but he often let's the beat swallow up most of his speech.

*No timing whatsoever

*It's almost like he is just trying to impress you with his ability instead of actually conveying something in his songs.

That's my 2 cents. I don't think he's on Canibus' level.

[Joesire]

i never heard of him im going to check him out and give you an answer

[Joesire]

yo i like that guy aesop rock i listened to his music

im a fan now i only listen to intelligent rap now days

i listened to that day light and night light song they were cool i liked them

but for who is better i say canibus

not because of songs like this but because of songs like c of tranquility

thats my favorite song by him

Listen to that song and youll whos better

but that guy is cool ill be listening to him now

[IUPJGilmore]

stand by, blow it, eyes open with the scope on the terrorist/ tell him to go to hell in arabic/ put a bullet through his narrow neck/ watch the wall behind him get wet/ I'm an animal, i'll murder you and stare at your pets/ one of my favorite lines

[lilgang1027]

I still listen to Canibus regardless Of his "Wack" beats, He doesn't need the fucking over used big drums, and synthesizer beats. Beats like this suit his lyrical style.

[MusicHardcorePoet]

"I want to be the illest for a moment in time" Love that line

[Joesire]

the beats and hooks dont matter because the lyrics are so good

[JBonez86]

in the song The Hunted, Vinnie Paz also uses that verse in another song, on a 7les cd

[colombianh3ro]

name another fukin rapper who raps under this, sik

[Chrome75010]

vinnie paz , jus allah or all the jedi mind tricks crew . Canibus is ill though

[colombianh3ro]

show me a link to a song with a merengua beat

[ElMastero]

moron

jedi mind tricks - nada cambia

[flaconyc1]

Lyrically Bis is a beast but his beats and hooks are usually wack. Its unfortunate because he embodies a real mc.

[Particulatematter]

yeah i really agree with you, his lyrics are intense but man his flow and beats are way off the mark of good - he needs to team up with Atmosphere and ANT get some phat beats and flawless flow skills from them then he can work towards his musical god status...till then though his irregular whack beats and flow deterr peopel from listening to his message - imo though that may be what he wants rhymes for those advanced enough to dismiss one aspect you dont like and still enjopy for the message.

[He6]

"tell em to go to hell IN Arabic" not like arabic.Canibus dope

[PAPOWU]

im an animal/ ill murder u and stare at ya pets! GOAT

[FiswaT]

Does anyone remeber the Jedi Midn Tricks song with this background music? (Maybe with Army of the Pharaohs or some other group). I really need to know lmao

[smaidone]

yeah i thought that aswell, looked through all my jedi mind and aotp.. found some similar but nothing the same.

[MinkyMead]

yeah it's called The Hunted, it's from one of their mixtapes

[MinkyMead]

yeah it's called The Hunted, it's from one of their mixtapes

[mondariz16]

Yo,2 everybody bis fan...NEVER...by hip hop for sale,that was one of canibus's worst works imo,but canibus is my favorite mc..he inpsires me alot,poet laurete 2 is my favorite canibus song

[BrianPsychicBabystar]

I haven't bought it yet and I heard part of it.. but I'm a big Bis fan, I mean I've even got True Hollywood Stories, I like even his worst CDs... so I might still buy Hip Hop for Sale anyway, haha

[sfknns]

yeah thanx for the heads up but i already got it. Theres only like 2 or 3 songs on there that are good. C true hollywood is bad to but hes still my favorite mc also

[LilBronx13]

canibus iz the illest

[leathalplacebo]

Teh shizz...

[MusicHardcorePoet]

"I wanna be the illest for a moment in time" Favorite line.

[h8ed7]

We all know about Bus' lyricism, but this beat is the livin' Shit!!!

[tenreal]

What's good with uping Spartibus?

[skitzsofranic]

this album was hot 4 his 5th album but the six won was ass lol yeah he has 6 albums

[Bloodsport1]

Canibus should do a album with DJ Muggs as the producer and do another collab with Kool G Rap, Canibus must do another song with Rakim.

[boydorama]

Classic!

[Lostaries]

Fuckin RTJ is the best canibus album and it prolly always will be unless stoupe does #2 cause these two together are absolutely phenominal~ on the real

[RakimAllah777]

beat makes me think of pirates of the carribean

[tha2o6kidd]

every canibus song makes a image in my mind....

[lboogie75]

Canibus, lyrically is the shittin' on everybody!.......hands down yo!

[tha2o6kidd]

cool beat canibus is the G.O.A.T

[evoneal]

RTJ II is gona be more like PLI

[xmangambit]

This albums music and Canibus' Lyrics melded so tremendously, it boggles the mind. Hope RTJ II is like this.

[admeyer73]

this and the beat for "Indibisible" are two of my alltime favorites.
