New Canibus Interview

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i dont know where this originated but its official...
check it out...

Let me start by saying thank you for your patience. It
is daytime and I am beachside. I go in and out of
phases when I speak intelligently, philosophically,
and sometimes street. I will spare you the latter
because of my mood.


> 1. What inspired you to pick up a mic?

To me a microphone is only symbolic as a device for
speech. It spreads my speech. The rush I have felt on
stage w/ a mic in my hand in something I will never
forget. I was inspired to take up the practice of
poetry by those that came before me. "The Greats." We
all know who they are.

. Have you ever been interested in writing a novel,
> Also what is your
> favorite book, What have you been reading lately?

I have written material that if sequenced properly
could maybe be broken down into a series of Sci-Fi
thrillers. The literature that is available today is
so expansive it's hard to keep up and our ideas are
somewhat mirrored by what we see and hear. In a
perfect world I would be eager to write/co-write if
given the opportunity.

It would take much more thought than I care to give
about what my favorite books are but the last book I
enjoyed from cover to cover was Angels & Demons by Dan
Brown. I also read Digital Fortress and The da' Vinci
Code and found them to be a pleasurable read. Books
are the handle on the key to language. Speech,
practice and other attributes are the teeth on the key
itself. Keep Reading.

. Please clear up the rumors about the ROC and Kay
> Slay signing.

I have not heard all the rumors to confirm or deny
accurately but I am currently unsigned to any Major
Labels or affiliates. I rep Mic Club which reps me to
the world as a "Premier MC for sale." Kay Slay has
been showin' me love along w/ Money $$$ Mark and
BIG(Shaq's alias). BIG was extremely generous to me
and I am grateful.


. Who are you all time top 10 emcees?

I can think of 13 now

Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim
Rass Kas, Nas, SC(Hov), Cool J, Pun,
K. Priest, Big L, Biggie, Pac, and Eminem.

Some of the names were mentioned off clear merit of
influence on Hip Hop.
Others are based on respect as Hip Hop Pioneers and
predecessors to my development.
Others I have witnessed myself.

My knowledge on every MC that's out now is limited but
right now I do like Corey Gunz and Papoose. They are
both Mack 11's on the mic


Any news on the HRSMN, such as Chino XL joining,
> etc.?

Chino has since been inducted since we last spoke. I
look forward to playing my position in releasing an
album w/ the original HRSMN and/or others who continue
to cut from the cloth of creativity.


. How did you enjoy your military experience? Was
> it what you expected?


So many other things to talk about, wouldn't you
agree?


> Also, some random comments for you...


Sway is a friend of mine as all of you who have
positively aided me to continue rhyming. I could
rhyme till I pass out to defend the hope all Canibus
fans have but as I have said before "I walk among you,
draw energy from you." Pls continue to keep Hip Hop
alive CW.

Is it true Blinky Blink from Harlem World beat dude up, I'm with you CT!

 

[Cold Truth]

thats the story, anyways.cam ahs spoke on it if i remember correctly.

if he wants to finally break through, than Nas is his best/worst chance of doing that from where i sit.

who else but our generations Master to teach canibus how to harness "the force" of his knowledge into actual songs? nas has done some fairly deep music the last few years and managed to maintain a fine line between street/underground stylings with mainstream succes, which is somehting that bi could learn tremendously from.

HOWEVER...

nas isnt exactly the maker of stars. talented dudes that have bee nassociated with nas havent exactly done to well, and he his braveheart-bragging hasnt translated to well ssince nobody seemed to like their album to much. nas hasnt shown the ability to mold talent eiteh rby association or design, while countless other guys have, the short list being jay, em and dre. mere name associations have done wonders for generating interest in their protoges. nas does not have tha tpower for whatever reason.

 

[The Bastard]

hate to say it but if canibus was on shady/after math hed fuckin blow up
