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.

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

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

With all the hype preceding his debut release, 1998's Can-I-Bus landed with a very quiet THUD on the rap market. Poor production by Wyclef ruined it, refusing to let Canibus show his more lyrical, and quite frankly, better side. 2000 B.C. displays most of what was left out of Can-I-Bus, with Canibus attacking every weak MC on earth. The album starts out with "The C-Quel", a hard hard-hitting cut with past canibus-rhymes mixed and played simultaniously. The album doesnt let down from there; Mic-Nificent and the title track are hard hitting with powerful lyrics and creative beats. The highlight of the album, though, is when Canibus and Rakin combine on "I'll Buss Em, You Punish Em", two lyrical geniuses exchange battle raps that sound almost scary. Still don't believe in Canibus's talent? Check out "100 Bars", where he tears it up for about 5 minutes, not a simple task for many rappers today. The album is not complete, some songs are weak, but Canibus's tounge-twisting lyrics make up for it. Grab this album, rhymes like these mess with your head.

I can't belive people who give Canibus a 3 or 4, name me someone who is lyrically on the level of Canibus, there is no one out there that comes close, his lyrics are amazing, and this album is no exception. He shows a maturity that is rare in the world of rap, he talks about everything from governments to wack MCs, just a marvel on the MIC that can not be matched, in any way. The most intellectual MC ever. People claim to be MC's listen to Canibus on this album and especially on "MIC CLUB" and "RIP THE JACKER" Masterpieces. Canibus really brings it on this album, I really enjoy every track. A must buy, A MASTERPIECE!

You've got to go back to 95-97 to appreciate the lyrical brainstorm Canibus has been given to the hip-hop underground. DJ-Clue, Tony Touch, Flex, Doo-Wop and many other DJs have had there mix tapes Lyrically Blessed my Canibus. This is one of the very few all around true MC. This kat can rhyme on a level above all other MC's. Not sence KRS-One has anybody had the skill to free style off the top of his head for an entire show. This CD is much better than the last and should be copped just because of his battling style. Rakim appears on one of his joints and they rip that track to shreds. This kat is the logo and bluebrint to a real MC.

This album is probabaly the most lyrical thing i have ever heard! It is solid from start to finish and is a pure battle CD. His lyrics are fiery and aggressive all the way through, i love putting this album on when in a lively or angry mood, it gets me buzzin. Some of the beats may take you a few listens to get use to but once you give it a few spins im certain you will love it and will have it playing on a regular basis

'bis is definitly 1 of the most underrated artists in Hip-Hop

This album screams BATTLE ME! Every track is about rippin punk MC's down. The less than perfect production is made up by hostile battle lyrics aimed at anyone who wants em'. I agree with a lot of people when I say that this is his BEST, the BATTLE MC is what we came to hear and that's what we get!

Too bad the producers screwed him and his career...but no matter what he's put his dent in hip hop! This is his best album...not made for those commercial heads! Appropriate title for the album also; his rhymin' skills take back to before the soft commercial music infested the game. 2000 B.C., 100 Bars, and Horsementality are the best tracks on the album, with I'll Buss Em U Punish Em not too far behind (he has a LEGEND on the track). Get this...it is a CLASSIC!

...Canibus is the best lyricist i have ever heard and this is his best album lyrics-wise, mabye not all the beats are perfect but his non-stop battle rapping doesnt get boring for days, weeks or even months. Ever since I got my hands on this CD it hasnt left my car deck, and i doubt it will anytime soon. This is the hardest hitting non-stop rap album in the history of music; not to be confused with those little pop stars who call themselves rappers. Better than all his new stuff in my opinion, this CD will leave your head spinnin' Like a set of new set of Omegas.

Peace.
