Canibus once said, and i think this is my fav bar of all time: "whenever the head is severed from the human body with a sharp enough weapon the brain remains concious for ten seconds - long enough for me to give you one last message and when you get to hell you can tell Lucifer I said it"

It's probably the best line in hip hop period. We'll...maybe not MF DOOM, says few can see the point like a line through the Hubble...another genius line in my opinion. Whilst you didn't say this and I am in no way attributing this to you, I think labeling Canibus as lyrical miracle is very reductive and stems from his conceptual impenetrability...Canibus is such a hard listen it's frustrating. The reductionism I am talking about is reducing I honor you to a song that personifies sperm...really! Is it not about a consciousness that wills itself into existence but has to do it through trite human means like human reproduction...also conveniently ignoring the fact that this is a song a son wrote detailing his relationship with his mother, talks about a dead beat father and basically that he was raised by single mother and sperm is the thing that sticks out. And this is by far his simplest song!!!

@@Fedora_JPThat so called Drake style has actually been around. Drake honed his skills in Houston with Rap A Lot. That’s why he had several tributes to DJ Screw and the Screwed Up Click (Fat Pat, Lil Keke, Big Moe, Big Pokey, Z-Ro, etc) and UGK in his early years. Devin The Dude falls in that category as well. Even his song November 18th was a remake of a 1990’s DJ Screw and Lil Keke song. Despite what FD says…the South was blowing up in the 1990’s.

Now 43, my parents had us seeing a therapist before we reached double digits, but an ADHD diagnosis didn't exist yet (to my knowledge). Having seen multiple therapists, dealing with depression and anxiety (due in part to being socially awkward and not really understanding friendship/relationship dynamics) I've been diagnosed with ADHD at 42... And am working through it. Thanks FD for taking that moment to discuss.

It's interesting seeing so many people be diagnosed or questioned with adhd right now. I was diagnosed when I was like 8 in the early 90s. I took meds for it, was constantly given tests and put into special rooms. It hit me the hardest in college and work life. But it was still never considered a big deal for a long time. In fact, once social media exploded, people were saying EVERYONE has adhd because the internet. Which is of course highly offensive. But the amount of care people have for adhd now is quite surprising to me.

Please understand what he’s been up against. When you go up against Eminem, you’re NEVER walking away with the popular vote… no matter how dope you are. I saw it firsthand in real time. I’m 40 years old today… Class of 2001. I watched Sisqo change the world in real time too. Very literally overnight, the granny panties, bloomers, and period panties all straight up vanished. Like, I saw the shift. Same thing with Eminem. Folks moved us to the suburbs in the early 90’s… My new classmates put me onto Nirvana and Green Day… I put them onto the Wu, Public Enemy, Eric B. and Rakim, etc. A few liked it. Nothing mesmerizing, tho. But let me tell you… Sway and Tech dropped a track with Eminem on it… then My Name Is dropped… and overnight, my classmates who shrugged at Eric B For President and Paid In Full suddenly came into school as lifelong hip hop historians overnight knowing every single word that Shady ever spit. So please understand, Eminem himself absolutely IS hip hop. And he’s definitely dope! But his supporters weren’t into hip hop until he came around. So they very literally don’t even know of a rap world outside of the guy who put em onto it. They’re the male version of Beyoncé’s BeyHive. The facts and truth are easily accessible… Em’s “style” that he’s credited for ain’t his. He got it from a New Jersey rapper. And he’s been credited as the pioneer of the multi syllabic rhyme pattern but he’s neither the first nor the best. Canibus was on that for sure … and definitely can’t forget this next guy… Big Pun! Pun was different, yo.

I'm someone they would put on that now and nah, think different isn't anything off. It's growing pains from a more connected world, what you know changes how you think. Combine that with disconnected parents, being raised by screens. So of course kids that went all in and explored farther came off "odd" to everyone else. I know why I'm not easy to relate to and yeah to get that you gotta try and meet people in the middle and understand them too. I mean kind of what JC taught right?

@Naxireal politely disagree, lot of what society deems "weird" or "off" are more often than not just ND traits. Highly recommend doing in depth research into 2023 medical understandings and diagnoses of autism/adhd/bipolar disorder, they present themselves in so many ways that just traditionally get viewed as "weird" by societal standards. Something as simple as being able to fully immerse yourself into a hobby until you're content with your ability to perform in it is a ND trait. That's not to say every "weird" person is on the spectrum, but the odds of a weird kid being on the spectrum are way higher than someone we'd call "not weird" being ND

Before that there was "hyperkinetic disorder" as a diagnosis since the 50s, so it was definitely a thing back then. But of course the public discussion around it as well as opportunities for treatment etc. were very different from now.

LL won the war....not the battle. Black Thought is my favorite, but he never had the charisma of a Big or Pac. Thought is at a point in his career where he is JUST NOW letting the public know who he is as a person. Because before now, he was just a single layered technical rapper backed by a band and allied/aligned with "conscious rappers". And then you add the marketing corporate backing that Big and Pac had. Thought's acumen just wouldn't translate commercially well over the beats and imagery that Big and Pac were guided by. But VERY FEW are seeing Thought technically live on stage or off the top of the head.

Me and my friends loved Canibus' first album when it came out. He was rapping about things we'd never heard other guys rap about before but something about it didn't stick and 6 months later we weren't really listening to it anymore.

His first album was at least a 9 out of 10 from a lyrical standpoint. The problem was the production/beats. Wyclef produced it and the beats he gave him did not match Canibus' raspy voice. Then add in the beef with egotistical LL Cool J, and Canibus' rise to fame sunk just as quickly. But just like the F.D Signifier said, I was a nerd for his lyrics too and kept on listening.

My FIRST thought was Del tha Funkee Homosapien bc after listening to 3030 my mind was opened to a insane plethora of sci-fi lyricism that was never before even hinted at to me, it changed my whole interpretation of story telling and writing from mere words and music. and after that I cant believe I was so wrong. I knew who Canibus was but never gave a second thought to his tracks and boy was I wrong for doing so.

As someone who back in high school was a complete canibus fanatic and defender, I salute you for this honest video. For all his strengths and weaknesses canibus absolutely left a valuable mark on the culture and that feeling and time will never be recreated. Listening to cassette tapes with him rapping over grainy beats using words I didn’t even think rappers knew, was special. I took a lot of debate L’s in the hallways of my inner city high school trying to explain to folks why canibus was a better artist than jadakiss and would have a longer more fruitful career. Lmaoooo Canibus is still a goat to me and unfortunately history hasn’t been kind to his legacy

Thank you for featuring Canibus. I remember the mixtape that blew him up "I'll battle you..." As a Dj at the time, the battle style flow was crazy. Before the LL Beef, there were mixtapes that had Canibus on side A and DMX was on side B, asking who is next. There was no mixtape without Canibus during that period. The freestyles were bananas. Remember rewinding the cassette to hear each line over and over again.

Yo. He made a whole website with video clips, audience feedback, and more from scratch in the early 2000's? That is genuinely impressive for the time as would have been much more niche information than it is now and it is still somewhat impressive to do so now.

This really struck me. Rappers like this have helped me trust that my curiosity in hip hop was sincere. You feel the bravery of unconstrained creativity... It feels like undiluted humanity shared in high definition. I can't tell if that was poetic or schizophrenic, but either way I'm in the right place I think 🙇

Canibus!c WOW This took me BACK! The lyrical miracle definition really broke me as an underground hip hop head of the 90s, I can never let it go. But all my backpack friends who were making music in this era were definitely lyrical miracles that were spitting esoteric shit that was never gonna take off or go anywhere. sigh.

The people of the backpacker era who actually had the hype within the underground and were seen as the pinnacle were guys like MF DOOM, Aesop Rock, Sage Francis, Techn9ne, and Slug. None of those guys fit into this miracle lyrical thing; they could all tell stories, valued production, had nice flow, and put together complete albums. They were just avant-garde or different in some ways that made it so you would not hear their songs in the mainstream. The people who loved those guys also loved rappers like Ghostface, Talib Kweli, GZA, Nas, and Common Sense who were mainstream while being different from what was being largely pushed around them.

At 35, I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was in 4th grade....which didnt make a difference because my parents didn't believe in it because they were boomers. Some of this video really hits home for me. All of that is to say NOTHING of the exception work that went into the entire rest of the video. I love these deep dives into rap and rap history. Part of my neurodivergence is that I dont really connect with music much but I love the stories and the history. Thank you for your super high quality work! Edit: I worded my opening sentence badly but I like how dumb it sounds so I'm keeping it.
