Whenever discussing Canibus (the rapper of course), the opinions are polarised into two categories; the first one often recited is, “he weren’t meant to go commercial, he’s too intelligent for the mainstream,” and the second is, “he flopped and tried to blame everyone else for his failings.” These offerings refer to the period in the mid '90s when the revered emcee was shutting down any and every appearance, verse and track he spat on. Great things were in store for the rapper but after a battle with LL Cool J, a disappointing debut album and various label worries, Canibus eventually disappeared into the underground circuit. Whilst the Canibus era never expanded past 1998, the fiery mic assassin continues to drop major science on various new releases, leading right up to his latest project C of Tranquillity.
