Yo...no disrespect to Em, he is defenitely a talented rapper, but, face the facts, Canibus is the better of the two. Em has a better beat, it seems, but, in my opinion, em is more liked and has more respect because he has wound up in the mainstream pop culture. It's as though he has been caught in the slipstream of his possibilities. Fortunately, he has a boat, so as to keep himself from drowning. Canibus has stayed true to his mantra and thus has prospered.

Besides, Canibus could rip Em in a freestyle.

Canibus no question, Eminem isnt bad but he couldnt even begin to write a verse like anything Bis has done other then C True Hollywood Stories. People need to listen to the whole Canibus collection to understand how dope the man is.

Killah priest did beat Canibus in a battle people, but remember that Bis and his partner at the time battled back in forth with the entire Wu Tang clan before that holding there own, and Killah Priest has said it was a 6 minute pre written battle rap that finished the show off

I wish the two would have it out in a battle...

People need to listen to the whole Canibus collection to understand how dope the man is.

People need to do the same with Em, too.

I've been an Eminem fan for about 9 years...and honestly, he does have a hell of a vocab...(vocab being defined as, linking words and punchlines in a manner that actually works with the beat, and the topic at hand.)

I have heard quite a bit of Bis' shit...and I'll prop him on SOME of his shit, but I still think that Em would take him in a battle...I just really wish they would hit off on stage...

05-21-2004, 08:04 PM
Both MC's are ill as hell. Eminem is definitely the more entertaining MC (content). Lyrically though, I give the edge to Bis.

Canibus carries the burden that MC's of the same caliber carry, that is, spitting battle rhymes for hours just does not appeal to the masses (i.e., sell records). Other MC's that have the same lack of mass appeal are Kool G Rap and Chino XL. Dope as hell, but realistically they will never go platinum.

You're 17 - you should be able to decipher his lyrics by now. Anyone who labels Canibus as "wack" is hearing his music but not really listening to it.

first off I'll say that I'm a huge fan of both MC's, but I have to go with eminem.

They both have a huge vocabulary but eminem can be a little more comedic and sarcastic, which sometimes catches the public's eye. Eminem also has his voice to his advantage, the way he can put emphasis in his slightly high voice can have a big impact sometimes, as opposed canibuse's which is very rugged and might become little annoying compared to eminem's

To date: canibus would rip em without effort, em writtens have changed with the times and become corrupted by money, he has become so use to writting hits- term used loosly- the quick wit and anger has died-

my vote: Canibus

what are you talking about? Eminem just expresses himself more through his lyrics now instead of just laying down sick verses that don't mean anything. Listen to his freestyles, He'll give you the same feeling you got while listening to the Slim Shady LP. Also I read in an recent interview on here that canibus and eminem get together every once in a while and battle it out without any cameras or anything, this shows that eminem is still able to spit like he used to.

06-17-2004, 06:29 AM
Listen both these Mc's are REAL good. Is just that Eminem is most popular so therefore he would always topple over Canibus. But if both were famous together am sure the table would be turned. And A reason why Em aint battlin him is because he know with a couple of tracks directin mainly to Canibus, he would make Canibus blow up and THEN is when the real competition will start because more ppl will start to know about Canibus. And POPULARITY motivates you to write better lyrics. So who do I vote on this one......ehehehehehe you all do the math!

Meanwhile my top 5
1) Nas
2) Tupac
3) Eminem
4) Jay-Z
5) Trick Daddy

Personally I think Em is a great emcee but I give the nod to canibus ...there are atleast 10 mc's that'll slay em IMO i'll name them.(this is for active Mc's Rakim doesn't count cuz that's a gimme.)

1.Canibus-lyrically the G.O.A.T. I don't em is on canibus' level as far as lyrics and freestyle he's too complex and lyrical for Em, he's too cold to hold, too hot to touch.

2.Mof Def-people sleep on the skills sometimes but he's alot more clever of a lyricist and freestyler if he battled rap it would be dangerous.

3.Common-sick,lyrical genius and can battle rap if he said anything close to what he said to WSC then it's over.

4.Talib Kweli- Creative,would be able to bring deep battle lines I think he would bring alot to the table.

5.Black Thought-Sick,sick Emcee I think he would get Em, the way he freestyles and the thing he spit is crazy.

6.MC Juice- Slayed Em Twice, I heard it and you can hear the fear in Em's voice cuz he couldn't come at juice with anything,he just kept saying Bit*h this and that and pyhsically threating Juice, and he basically said said do something I'm right here, Em ain't say or do Sh!t ,all he did was stand there and get slayed.(would be higher cuz he has battled em but this is in good company)

7.Nas-One of my fav's and one of the Greats,and if he comes at em anywhere near to how close the way he got Jay'z it's over.

8.SuperNatural-Great battle MC, and I think his impressions are too much for Em to handle, that's how he beat Juice(the punchlines were Ill too)but I put Juice in front cuz he has previous battle experience with Em.

9.Jin- People sleep on the skill cuz,Wyclef fu%ked him up with that corny as$ song(just like he did canibus...Bit*h..artist/producers don't give exposure to artist they sign
cuz they worried about they Sh!t ex. Puffy,Wyclef,Neptunes)But Jin's punchlines and Battle style may be slightly too much.

10.Chino XL- very Underrated Mc should be higher but like I said be4 it's in good company, good battle rapper, good lyricist.

This just my opinion I think that the money and the hype has gotten to Em,he's no longer hungry b/c people hype him up to be the best Mc when he's not...I think he even believes he's better than what he is(just like he believes he's better than Canibus and he's not and he knows that's a Mc that would slay him and it poses a great challenge for him and I think that what he wants a battle where he can try and prove he's still underground when he's not or that he can battle the underground(like he used to)and get up with them,but can't anymore I think it's about time that someone knocked him off the pedestal that the media and Stans have created,and no I'm not a racist,but I thikn most the people on here that's gives It to em is white and has never listened to Canibus (to say he'll get killed or that he's wack is the fuck*ng dumbest thing I've ever heard,but ok.)and have a bias opinion I listen to both and think that em is good but not lyrically ready for Canibus and dissing pop stars and everlast Ja and Benzino ain't nothing that's a cake walk for Em now here's a real challenge and when when Canibus gets back you'll all realize the greatness and be hugging on his nuts(especially if he signs to the Roc),and all Em's gonna spit is Bitc* this I'll kick your A$$ that knowing he used to get that a$$ whupped in D-Town and knowing he can't out box someone in the Friggin' Army...personally I think he'd punk out on Boxing Benzino,but not the point...nut feel free to express yourself cuz I think it's great to finally have a site that talk about hip-hop and the pure form (and not
including these bias little Stans (white boys)who think Em is the greatest.)keep up the good work and keep Promoting These Raw Mc's so hip hop get back to it's original form and not this stupid Sh!t that's out now with these subliminal message(GET CRUNK!!)and who's beats sound the same.

Eminem is by far better. Way more skill.

I was once an Em hater glad i got over that shit.

Some of his shit is stupid though i think we can all agree.

Thats what keeps me from putting him in my top 10 but his skills make him real close
