I saw where some soulless sack of trash is selling this for $50 used on here...I hope you get violently ill. Greed of that amount is sickening, capitalizing on loyal fans with a deeper appreciation of music than most will get you a scholarship to hell.

that being said, for all you newer Canibus fans, or anyone who hasnt heard this album, please dont even give a second thought to these absurd prices. just pretend this release never happened. this nearly ended his career. "Box Cutta Blade Runner" and, argubaly "Draft Me" are the only 2 songs on here you will ever want to hear again. pick up any of his other albums, as he does not have a bad one aside from this, and they are all worth your Money. he even has some EP's at his micclub website like "Brainstream" and "My Name is Nobody" that you would be much better off with. this may be the worst album ever put out by an artist of this skill level. I remember picking this up on its first day back in late 01. one of the biggest disapiontments ever, especially after the incredible 2000 BC.

If your foolish enough to still waste an absurd amount of money on this, to "complete your canibus collection" thats suspect. you wont be playing this album again after hearing it. Anyone who buys this will regret it later

as far as canibus' albums go this is his weakest effort, but that doesnt mean its an all out "WACK" cd as others would like to put it. you can chill out with and just listen to music having fun with it on this album. the parody tracks on this album are hilarious, funny skits and just overall a very funny feel to the album. overall i will give it a 3.5

I once believed that Canibus was an untoucable Mc, one with both great flow and rhyming ability, but after just listening to HALF of his new album, I now believe diferently. He should stick with what he does best, battle rapping. He is trying to hard to make his lyrics commical with stupid phrases in hopes to somehow mimic the style of Eminem. Its not working! This album was a GREAT disapointment being that his first two had some of the best lyrical quotes I have ever heard. Even on "Beasts from the East", one of Lost Boyz best song on there second album "Love,Peace and Nappiness", Canibus tears up the spot for over half the song, its just amazing. Although I still consider myself a Canibus fan, I dont consider myself a fan of this album. Dont waist your money, but if you do decide to spend money on canibus, buy some herb, maybe it will help make you forget how terrible this album is.

this cd is trash, the stan skits make no sense and on certain tracks his voice sounds high pitched. fans who are expecting the hard core canibus are gonna be disapointed cause canibus comes really soft in this album. the only joint im feeling off of this album is box cutter but the rest is just garbage he even has a joint here thats called ya teeth is yellow lol . im telling ya dont waste ya (money) on this once ill mc's new piece of crap album. wanna listen to a really ill mc wit a great new album listen to chino xl's new album and put ya (money) into that if you can find it, now that album was bangin. ya been warned!

Canibus is amazing, this album was made by trash. In 2000 BC canibus came strong and blew everything up. In C true hollywood story. Canibus sounds like a kid with his friends recording an album in their basement.

People say that this album is purposefully weak so that his spring release will be even more powerful. Well Canibus will be lucky if anyone picks up his spring album. And that is a tired excuse for a weak album, weak weak weak trash.

Canibus has lost his appetite for eating emcees. It becomes clear in this third release that he will probably never drop another hardcore album. He talks more about women in this album and sex, and about his humble beginnings. Only in the song Draft Me! where he addresses the September 11th attacks does he come off hardcore, and even then he shares the mic with C-4 a new white rap band he is helping to promote. His signature styles are virtually non-existent in this release. The transition would be tolerable if not for the terrible beats and choruses. Not to mention most of the tracks are skits, making it sound more like a musical than a rap album. Only hardcore Canibus fans should even consider buying this and to those that are: prepared to be disappointed.

i picked this cd up as soon as i got off of school with high expectations and anticipation. but all i got was canibus' gifted lyrics over some wack beats. I dont know what c was thinking when hooking up with this production team. the beats sound like they were originally produced for brittney spears and nsync. Of course canibus gives us crazy metaphors and that ill flow again but over beats produced for pop stars. and another huge problem i got with canibus this time is how he used his voice. Everyone remembers that hardcore battling voice heard on his 2nd LP, but it's no where to be found here. all i can say is that this cd was a big dissapointment for me and i want my (money)back. i should of purchased the new brittney spears cd for singing canibus is displaying. at least she's hot.

Stop living off an artist's past. I understand Canibus might be a great talent, but just accept the fact that Canibus doesn't have it in this particular album. AS an emcee he's only reached the level of mediocrity. I think this album pushed his level way down. None of his albums has ever surpassed even the slightest breakthrough status. Can-I-Bus lacked the production AND the album was monotonous throughout every single damn song. The second album was a little above descent. The lyrics were damn near incredible but lacked the variety of topics a good album needs. So let us face the fact that Canibus will probably never make a hiphop album that balances out with his potential.

Everyone is complaining about the beats on this album and I don't know why. I mean there are definitely several songs with horrible beats but then there are some like box cutter that are better than he has ever rapped on. Canibus's problem in the past was while he could come up with the hottest lyrics out there he could not flow over a beat. He tries to do that here and is somewhat successful and the lyrics are still incredible. Hi still rips on rappers like sigel and jadakiss but he doesn't just rip on rappers the whole time which is a welcomed change I don't know why people are complaining about that fact. For the first time he talks about things more interesting than how hes hotter than other mc's and with the same witty lyrics.

Canibus is a genius. Although this album does not even compare to Canibus' most recent album, Rip the Jacker, the rhymes are nearly flawless. He tells the story of Eminem's Stan throughout the entire album. Canibus used a lot of his creative juices to tell this story from track to track. For those who think that this album is pointless, have a look at the state of hip hop right now. Canibus is only making fun of what's in the mainstream right now. Rappers like Jay-Z, Nelly, or newer rappers like Chingy are not "lyrically fit" like Bis and he's laughing at those who sell their souls to make some cash in the industry. Bis released this on an independent label and that, in itself, shows his confidence as an emcee, let alone his immaculate battle rhymes.
