    1. Dont pre-order this, he still owes me 100 dollars from the Rip the Jacker 2 pre-order. He ripped thousands of fans off, ‘he aint never been a good shoulder to lean on’. I wrote a post on it and suddenly M-eighty contacted me to try silence me by offering me another album minus the dvd, t-shirt etc. What ever happened to Jermaine Propane? I supported him his whole career, bought every album but nothing since RTJ2, no doubt the production will suck and the content will be the same….lyrical miracle blah blah…he should make something more personal, forget science and conspiracy theories…@canibus, feel free to contact me for career advice.

      1. you’re still going to get that album when it released you hating fucktard. When it’s released.

        1. Doesn’t matter. You can’t take fans’ money promising something and not drop it for 30 years, you fukn clown.

        2. Is that you Canibus…or ummmm….Germaine? I actually wanted to talk to you about that really bad irish accent you have in that rap you did where you sounded like a leprechaun. Do your homework next time….would have thought a nerd like you did his homework…ding ding….2nd round knock out…done with you ‘Mars God’. Game over!!

          1. What are you talking about? Leprechaun? How about use some clarification or lay off the dope before typing.

    2. First off its always good to hear new Bis. However, this delivery isn’t crystal clear. Technology has advanced in such a way that for minimal costs Canibus should be cranking out bluray quality material. The compression is asstastic. With 20 years in the game, you’d think this guy would have learned enough about the craft to quality control his releases and put vocals to the forefront ESPECIALLY IF THE SONG IS ABOUT CLEAR VOCALS. Foh bro. You have intelligent fans who deserve better than this. I wanted to like this song, but my ears are fatigued after the first listen. Shxt sounded the best as it was fading out. smh.

    3. This track is all over the place. His flow is not what it used to be. The beat is not made for him. The mix is very rough. I hope this is a rough draft and not the album version

    4. I supported Canibus since I first heard him kill shit back in 2002 (its embarrassing but I wasnt even aware of 2nd Round K.O. before the Beef dvds 15 years ago, I was like 12 in ’97 and not into hiphop; my early- to mid-nineties was all about Sunlight-death, doom & hc/crust, the only hiphop I could dig for real back then was Ice Cube & PE if RATM doesnt count). I defended every arbitrary attack, career choice & statement he made, I learned the lyrics on every CD he dropped, I even tolerate the shitty 2001 abomination C True Hollywood Stories & think Mind Control is a bit underrated. I still consider HRSMN to be the all-star rap group with the most potential; they could’ve been (and sold like) a dirtier & scarier (& older) Slaughterhouse with a tad more focus & creativity regarding the concept. In general, I dig Canibus even at his worst cause he’s Canibus, the boom bap UFO, the fire spittin rap anomaly who took on LL Cool J and won (but got buried by corrupt media and bullied by a industry latched on to LL’s teet) and then antagonized his only ally with authority, Wyclef, when his debut failed to sell as expected. I judge Canibus shit by different standards. But For Whom the Beat Tolls and Melatonin Magik took me by surprise; they were some a grade shit from an objective standpoint, with perfect balance between avant garde lyricism, idiosyncratic rants, OG features & the best prod Bronze Nazareth has mustered – Gold and Bronze Magik [feat. Bronze Nazareth & Copywrite] is one of the best songs either of the three collaborators has ever been part of. His legendary online streamed battle with DZK or whatever hes called made me feel for him even more, while I at the same time felt insulted as a Canibus fan; was the confusion, the limp, the fiddling with the loose paper sheets, the randomly picked “lines” (quotes from his most famous verses with minor modifications) who didnt even hint of battle rap burns or verbal assaults, was it all an act? Did the promoters realize this middle aged eccentric, out of practice for years, arm in cast, stoned on downers & a shadow of his former self, was unfit for a verbal back-and-forth exchange contest where the super-prepared opponent knows the parameters like the back of his hand? Was the game rigged, was it a inverted PR stunt? I can give a fuck about Canibus losing that pointless battle, clever wordplay, speed and technique is a young white boy’s game today, some youtube shit, some nerdy circle jerk shit. Ofc Canibus agreed for the cash. But it piqued the interest of a billion wifi-addicted, techno-pop-rap loving prepubescent fag nerds who knows nothing of hiphop, got nothing but free time and gladly whip up a www troll shitstorm directed at Canibus. Anyhow, Canibus makes too much music, he caused a Bis inflation from C of Tranquillity, Lyrical Law and onward (with the relevant releases Undergods and Almighty Pt. 2 as exceptions), so I’m not surprised this doesnt excite me. He should save his energy, read some Jacques Vallée, Lovecraft & Franz Fanon, go on a religious pilgrimage (as long as its not buddhist) and shut up for a couple of years and then give the next HRSMN release his everything. His style of attack and lyrical prowess fit the common output of the group like a glove. That being said, the Canibus is here, to rule, for ever. Mike Tyson. On the death.

      1. You wrote to much and no cunt cares. I read the first paragraph of thats whatbit was and lost interest. Up ya game

    5. Welcome back Bis! Judging from your features from the past few years, it’s going to be a good time to be a underground rap fan.
