What ever happened to Canibus? At one point in time he was the illest underground lyricist/battle MC now it seems like he's just a memory. I still have some his lryics from the late 90's banging in my head...like...

"...Niggas, they wanna murder me, that's why my burgundy suburban be, full of secret service security, transporting me back and forth from the affirmative action university, in aircrafts that take off and land vertically, the fact that I aint treated like a king is absurd to me, from the streets of dirty Jersey to Germany niggas heard of me..."

Canibus was definitly one of the hottest dudes out. I was a big fan of his during the late 90's. But it seems like after his album 2000 BC he instantly became yesterday's news. I think his main problem was that every song sounded like a freestyle. He couldn't make the transition from battle rapper to an all around rapper. That caused his down fall.

A friend of mine told me that Canibus has a new album out and let me listen to one of the songs. It was alright at most. It sounded like something he could've did in '98 but never put out, that's how much he hasn't changed throughout the years. After a while the same old stuff becomes boring. If you listen to Jay, Nas, Big, Pac, or Em each of their albums are different from the ones before. As they progressed in the rap game their style evovled as well. That's where Canibus fell behind. It's kind of ironic too because he's the one that said...

"No pain no gain in this rap game, For the fortune and fame in order to remain, Most real MC's, learn to adapt to the change, or get washed away like tears in the rain, in the rain... "
