Hip-Hop for Sale Customer Review: hey! Its CAN I BUS!
He is not called CAN I BUS OVER HYPE BEATS! He is called CAN-I-BUS, which he can, much better than many emcees in the game. Sure, his flows aren’t always the most favorable or the most catchy, but listen close and he says some pretty dope lyrics, and sometimes he spits some lame crap. I ahve never heard an emcee spit 10/10, NONE! Not even Biggie or Pac, Mos Def, Del, Sage, Kool Keith. Maybe Gift of gab, but that’s different. Can-I-bus has a style his own, and its very aggro, and he does sound weak on tracks where he is trying to be anything but a rippa or the mad rapper. Sometimes it seems that he gets lost in the biz, wants to be mainstream yet the master of flows. Adding in rhymes about smokin killing. It’s all entertainment. His beats have never been that tight, always so so. The beats on this album are tight, they are minimal. He is not the best emcee, and his choruses are weak, but so are a lot of emcees choruses. A chorus is a pretty weak concept anyways. Like Kool Keith said “Don’t need no M%$$a F&^%$N Chorus!” If canibus ditched the choruses his stuff would sound that much tighter. Hip hop for sale is not his best album, but its beats are better than the can-i-bus album. It’s worth checkin out, it won’t get mad play in your ipod or cd player, but its one to own. He is truly an amazing emcee.
Customer Review: The best from one of the illest around!!!
By far, this is the best album from Canibus yet!! His other albums, although lyrically top notch, the production has been mediocre at best.
Canibus has really found a pretty good production team which is finally able to match beats with his attack MC style. I own Canibus’s other cd’s and this one shines like a star.I’m not gonna pick the best songs on this one because they are all better than three stars. Pick it up!!
