“He ain’t saying shit, he just using big words out of context.”

“He ain’t saying shit, he just using big words out of context.”

“That nigga just flip through the dictionary looking for polysyllable words and (insert here), that shit wack.”

“That nigga rhyme using a thesaurus and dictionary, that shit wack.”

“Yeah, but that nigga ain’t saying shit. Talking about the sun, the moon, the stars, and aliens and shit. I ain't trying to hear no nerd rap."

“That nigga just rap about shit I can read about in a biology, history, philosophy, or psychology book. I ain’t trying to hear that shit. That shit gets no play in the club. I don’t like reading though!”

Here is your chance to post proof of Canibus using “big words” without “saying shit” and/or out of context.
People on this site and many others have said it long enough, now back it up.

I’m expecting a lot of replies to this.

Niggas and bitches actually had to be told to leave him alone when I was stationed at Knox.
niggas would make plans for lunch to go try to eat in the AIT Basic mess halls. They would drive by while he was out doing pt and shit just hoping to catch a glimpse of him.

He just wanted to be left the Fuck alone.

never heard a canibus song that made me want to listen to him again
not even about him being too smart or nothing, just never liked him musically enough to enjoy his catalogue

idk canibus is cool to me i just have to be in a certain mood to listen to him.

he might not use words out of context much, but thats the only way he can impress, with big words. he can't do what jay, nas, big, common, az, etc do. he's easily the most overrated lyricist, and h'se a terrible artist.

Two songs don't prove shit

And plus, the point is more about him being a terrible artist, dude can't drop classic albums or make classic music, he's good for a few verses

You must not listen to him at all to say that.

Only in Hip Hop will dumb niggas be mad at how complex some artists are instead of appreciating it.

There are none, did I ever say there was? Jada and Canibus are both in same category for me, good rappers who are terrible artists overall

He's dope, but his poet laureate style gets boring sometimes. He needs to go back to the punchline flow or mesh the two and make a new style.

His problem with casual fans is his subject matter isn't something most can relate to, and his vocab is too intense. Add that with the fact that he usually rhymes over wack ass beats and his voice is annoying to some, and you have the answer to why most fans don't fuck with dude.

Examples:

Yo, I plan to build a myself a facility before I'm 40
A molecular archceogenetic laboratory
That can analyze complex poetry data for me
Even if it was recorded poorly, how extraordinary
I frog leap over awful beats
Then I separate rappers by the carbon-14s
To determine the age of anything ever made
Regardless of how the outside surface has changed
I put a curse on your name, bombard your brain
With gamma x-rays till you burst into flames

Building a laboratory? Carbon-14? Gamma X-Rays? The average fan is thinking, "WTF is he talking about, what does that have to do with anything?"

With the scientifically quantifiable megalomaniacal
Viable style, it's like trying to ride a bull
Let's have a dictionary duel after school
Check into me a nice Cedar Sinai room
So I can get sick as the flu, spittin the truth
If you ain't got this album, you missing the proof

Dictionary duel? Quantifiable megalomaniacal? Once again, the average fan is thinking, "WTF is he talking about?"

It's "Frog leap over awkward beats."

Megalomania is an inflated belief in oneself, where one would compare him/herself to a deity or other worldly being that's considered all powerful.

Rappers do this all the time in their songs.

Thing is Bis has a degree in computer science, spent time in the Army and worked in medical field......which he incorporates in his rhymes...

Obviously it was a copy-paste, and it doesn't matter if you in particular understand what's he's saying, most people don't.

People on average don't know what megalomania means? Most people don't know what carbon-14 is etc.

So in brief, when people say he ain't saying shit, it means the words he used in the song are foreign to them or his subject matter is too abstract. To most people rapping about building a laboratory and periodic elements is "not saying shit."
