This is how Canibus’ debut should have turned out. Although I couldn’t imagine him doing “Still not a Player”. But before Pun dropped, I couldn’t imagine him doing that song either

if you like listening to a dude who abused his children and sounds like an obese, emphysematic pug gasping for breath :manny:

Serious classic.

I was probably listening to this album more than anything else, at the time. Top shelf lyricism and exactly what we needed back then, while everyone else was watering down their shyt. Pun put a lot of weight on between this album and the second joint, and supposedly had to be punched in for every other line because he was so out of breath. So his presence on the mic was never the same after CP. Which made this album and everything else he was featured on '96-'99 even more dope. He was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of talent. Definitely a special MC.


The great thing about Pun is that he killed every lane with this album

You got the gutter grimey shyt like tres lechez produced by rza... That's a mad rarity for him to produce outside Wu. We really heard Pun and Prodigy over a rza beat

Then you have the glorious happy sounding songs like you came up, with mad soul.



5 Mic instant classic album. You had to be there. Maybe in the conversation for the GOAT Intro / 2nd track in Hip-Hop history.


Great posts, facts :wow:
