4.0 out of 5 stars Much better than I expected...., August 5, 2000

This review is from: 2000 Bc (Audio CD)

I bought this album with relatively low expectations, after reading many average reviews on it. But I must say, this is a much better album than some mags and online reviews make it out to be.
Standouts on here include the title track (in which he goes after Wyclef), the much improved version of "Watch Who You Beef Wit," and the Canibus/Rakim lyrical overload "I'll Buss Em U Punish Em." On "100 Bars," Bus flows nonstop for almost 5 minutes, definitely an accomplishment not many in rap could achieve as smoothly as he did it. And on "Horse Mentality," Can's 4 Horsemen brethren stop by for yet another lyrical joyride.
But the top tracks on this album come back to back at #'s 9 & 10, "Doomsday News" and "Lost @ C." Both feature sick beats and lyrically-viscious flows, sure to make your rewind button hot.
All that being said, Canibus is one dimensional lyrically on this CD--it's all about showin off his battle skills. This can be very impressive, and it is impressive on here, but it does tend to get a little old after a while. There are no tracks like "How Come" anywhere on here. No deep, meaningful lyrics. Even just one or two tracks like that and this album could've been a classic. The beats are far superior to "Can-I-Bus," and his lyrical talent cannot be denied. It's just too bad there wasn't a little more variety.
Definitely a recommended buy though. He proves without a doubt that he's the illest battle MC in the game.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2000BC (Before Can-I-Bus), March 15, 2005

By 

Low-Ko187 "Trigga Happy Mothaf*cka" (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 2000 Bc (Audio CD)

Canibus released his second album in 2000 after a weak debut he redeemed himself in ways, e.g the beats ain't relaxed, the match the animalistic lyrics and whatever. It feautes a few guests Journalist (Life Liquids, Die Slow) the legendary Rakim (I'll Bussem U Punish Em) and Ras Kass, Killah Priest and Kurupt (Horsementality) The lyrics are crazy and some tight skills'In Bare knuckle-boxing/speed is the object/weaving and dodging with de-fensive blocking' on the second track (title track) which is my favorite which shows off some sicklyrical skill. Also '100 bars' is Bi's rapping non-stop for 5 Minutes, no sh**!

Favorite Tracks: 2000 BC, Life Liquids, The C-Quel, I'll Buss em U Punish Em, 100 Bars, Lost @ C

Buy this for REAL hip hop and sick lyrics

5.0 out of 5 stars Canibus "2000 B.C. (Before Canibus)" is INCREDIBLE!, July 20, 2000

By 

Joe (Boston, Ma) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 2000 Bc (Audio CD)

I got the last Canibus CD and i was very dissapointed so i was really looking forward to this album, but a friend recommended it to me, so i thought i'd give it a try...and wow this cd have "classic" written all over it. Not only is the appearence of the outside of the cd cool, but the music inside is INCREDIBLE. First of all the lyrics of this cd are some of the best lyrics ever. It isn't one of those cd's you listen to for a week and take out of your cd player, this is like a cd you can listen to for a month and not get bored. The beats on this cd are so much improved from his last cd it's incredible.

Now lets talk about some of the songs, the introduction song of the cd "c-quel" had incredible energy, great lyrics and wow i like it....the main theme of the cd "2000 b.c." is a great song the lyrics and rhymes can't be beat..."Ill Buss Em You Punish Him" is one of the most incredible songs i have ever heard, adding rapper Rakim to this song keeps it tight and the lyrics are too good for my ears...."Horsementality" which features Kurupt (My favorite rapper)is also a good song with featuring artists...all the songs on this cd are incredible and there is too much to say about everything on every song

To sum it up this is a great album that is worth your money trust me
