Canibus - "Negronometry"

Posted on June 1, 2006 12:00 PM

canibus-peekaboo.jpg

Canibus, the verbally vicious, telekinetically gifted one pleads his case to the uneducated black masses. "Nigganometry," now "Negronometry" [watch it now] for the video version, is one of my favorite jawns from the Can-I-Bus album.

This video is one hell of a trade school commercial.

"Yeah, we wanna learn, but we don't wanna write." Sigh. I'm gonna do them one better and say they don't wanna read either. Luckily, we've got the next best thing since [Crazy] Joe Clark. I haven't seen niggas this obedient in class since Morgan Freeman-King took the Louisville Slugger to motherfuckers in "Lean On Me."

It's most certainly time to change brands when little, shiny hood-ornament Canibus hops out of the cereal box. I see all of this video and album's budget went to making St. Germaine look like a fuckin Times Square panhandler. (Not even to making the video look good.) Someone laminated a Somalian child and forced him to dance for food. That's how these damn record labels work, man!

Dude is posin like a Greco-Roman athlete! His statue got pink gums still. Someone should have told him not to open his mouth. Is this supposed to be a subliminal parody of LL Cool J in the "Doin' It" video? I mean, if you're gonna go all out like that... naked looking like the T-1000, you might as well have you some bitches running around in front of your brand-new, chrome sex pistol. Fuck all that teachin and readin and shit, Canny. Niggas don't wanna be hearin that.

If Wyclef made Canibus do this video, then he definitely spoiled it. All these "Steve Harvey Show" extras they got to play students might as well have taken the day off. The video is ass. I still like the song though. I just can't believe he made a video for this shit, nor can I believe the lengths dude went to so that he might glorify his bird-like physique.

This class is totally gonna rob that teacher when the bell rings.

Questions? Comments? Requets? Crossover, slam-dunk, game over, nigga! ronnie_mexxx@yahoo.com

  • For less than $1 a day you can sponsor this MC.
    That nigga looked like a broke Academy Award. Fuck a Oscar, more like a Starvin Marvin. "The 2006 Starvin Marvin goes to the most chicken chested rapper this year, and the winner is _____"

    Grown ass men in class. Was that a high school or jail? And did he steal one of Special Ed's scooters?

    Canibus had potential, but was struck by the mighty curse of 'Clef. He's about as relevant to the game as Pras.

  • nah i like Canibus, that motha fucker can spit for hours and its all pure knowledge. he killed it with clef but i listen to hip hop for the quality of the lyrics, so i say a fucka beat. but as good as he is eminem killed him on
    "can-i-bitch" i think canibus is better lyrical, but eminem killed him at that rap battle at the rap olympics and in the beef they had.

  • Canibus is the best that I've heard so far lyrically. The shit he says is so advanced i.e. how Rakim was on another level in the 80's.

    I am not biased I am from Texas love Screw Music, Texas Artist, South, East Coast, West Coast, Mid-West

    I think the top 3 of all time is
    2PAC,Rakim,Biggie. I love rap music and appreciate lyrics and beats.
    But when it comes to lyrics dude is on another level.

  • Lets get the facts straight, LL was imtimidated by Canibus. They did a song together with Red and Meth and LL did not like Canibus's lyrics because he so claimed it was dissing him but it was outshining him. So LL had Bis come back and re-do his lyrics, Bis agreed because he was LL's no#1 fan. Then LL went behind him and dissed Bis about the mic on the arm. Then that when all hell broke loose. Bis won people, LL just had Def Jam and the media ban the dude because he became a HUGE problem for their prized Emcee and the Label.

  • That video sucked so bad, dam so bad.... shoulda scrapped that sh-t. Why was he tryin to be an Academy or educational award mothafucka can't even spell. Dang, sh-t remind me of the 90's but its most recent... He need to kick the guy who made the video in the ass.

  • I've been reading comments on this blog for quite a few days and as Bill Cosby says i have come to the conclusion that a lot of u guys are educationally chellenged.

    Whats with the constant reference to the term 'Nigger'.its not cool to sound dumb and down right stupid....its obvious that quite a few of you are not in touch with your roots and who blames you...you idolise utter crap..

    Piece of advice and i mean this sincerlly go watch Roots again.....or go to a blog about the Motherland

    maybe it would give you a bit of pride in being black and hopefully inspire you to get an education.

    Cuz u guys really lack that.....I've heard everything from

  • Yo Ron, I understand you gotta play both sides of the quarter to be a quality journalist, but nowadays it just look like you talking out the side of your ass. You would be the first one to clown somebody if they shit was the same old, played out video done over and over again and then knock a nigga when he tries to do something different. That's like niggas who were pink outfits calling another dude gay cause his pants is too tight. In other words, pick a side and stick with that shit. Man up!

    I ain't really feeling that video either, but that because Canibus be trying to hard. He need a team of people with his mindset to help him solidify his image. that shit him and LL had wasn't a battle! right now, if D4L did a diss track about KRS-1, y'all would say D4L ripped it!

  • June 1, 2006 5:22 PM
  • 313rd says...
  • Im a faggot ass bitch that doesnt know nothing about rap because I compared Cannibus to D4L. I live in my crsuty ass mommas basement while that bitch sucks dick for $1 a pop to help pay the rent. You know, in my line of work I see sausages all the time. Oh yeah, and I love LL, cause he so sexy.,.

  • June 1, 2006 5:44 PM
  • Brian Gritty says...
  • I actually agree with you on the LL comment 313rd. Yes he is! I'm so gay!!!

  • June 1, 2006 6:12 PM
  • EnglandRepresent says...
  • Not too keen on the video, I actually rate Canibus as an MC although he really is a chicken chested muthafucka (no cam'ron) The Can-I-Bus is a tight album.

    Xxavier : All you're credibility gets shat on when you tryin to preach about dumb niggas postin when you tellin niggas that we're 'educationally chellenged' - ain't that like an oxymoron or something? Total contradiction in 2 words, maybe get yourself an education or at least some literacy classes before you tell other niggas that they're 'educationally chellenged', stupid muthafucka.

  • Personally, I think that Canibus won the Rap Battle against LL. But because he was so new to the game, and LL was backed by a major recording label (Def Jam), Canibus was pronounced the Loser of the battle, and ultimately ostracized until he was virtually non-existant. If the playing field was even, Canibus would have destroyed LL. Lyrically, Canibus is alot more skilled than LL- past or present.

  • June 1, 2006 9:35 PM
  • YEAH RIGHT says...
  • Canibus did NOT murder Eminem. Try again

  • June 1, 2006 9:41 PM
  • cudjoe says...
  • Yeah Right, just take a listen to curriculum 101. That track put Em in his place. Further proof, browse ANY Eminem boards. They all worship Em, but rate Canibus. Nobody want it with Cani.

  • June 1, 2006 9:56 PM
  • d says...
  • At least give cannibus his props, please forget this video ever happened. Every rapper put out a wack ass song/video at least once. If yall sons of bitches gonna listen to bubble gum rap like Killa Cam, Young Joc, Mike Jones,D4L, Franchise Boy. At least give Canibus his props by listening to a freestyle or real track of his. The nigga will eat 60% of these rappers out here today. He'll eat the whole dickset, the whole Gunit put together. Hes 100 times better than flop deep.

  • Wsup yall! This vid was straight azz......the song was dope. As a matter of fact Bis is one of the few really tight lyricists that's left in hiphop.........

    He murdad LL but killed his career in the process thanks to that major label paper n payola LL be on....new album sucks TODD! Jay needs to drop that nigga!

    Thanks Ron, I will be bangin all of Bis' albums tonite back to back....no stootchie fo me tonite....

    Oh yeah....Em however did eat up Bis........PAMOJA!

  • Can-I-Get some proper marketing?

    Think about it.
    Dude has the capability of being a lyrical legend but just went in the wrong direction.

    His lyrics are out there, way out there...Its good when you have a bit of creative freedom...but some dudes need guidance when it comes to making a marketable album...look at Common (BE). We also see a lesser evidence of this in some of Nas's work.

    Raw lyrical prowess is one thing...but you need great beats and proper direction to have an album thats a keeper.
    Clef couldn't give dude that.

  • Anyone who thinks L.L. won that battle does not know what hip-hop is and should not be on this blog.

    Canibus roasted that dude plain and simple.

    At one point Canibus was an untouchable lyricist. With mind numbing metaphors that wern't even fathomable by most emcee's. He was the mixtape king also.

    Canibus changed the way mixtapes were made.(featuring just one artist) and made everone step there rap game up.

    Ya'll need to recognize.
    How could anyone think L.L. won.

  • That Dude 4 President says...
  • Can-I-Bus is one of the illest lyricists, there's no question, but the production on that first album was str8 garbage. He should've got Premo, Trackmasters or even Rza 2 do his beats 4 him, and if U were gonna discuss a Can-I-Bus video, U should've did "2nd Round KO" I though LL was gonna hang it up after that one, but dude let Can-I-Bus have it with that "Ripper's Revenge"
    I have yet 2 hear any of the songs with him and Eminem going at at.
