If he redid C! as a real concept album, and not some wack ass Stan shyt, I think it could've been dope. The album had some decent cuts, but he was on some other shyt on that.

He sometimes makes a few obscure references, but other than that, his shyt is pretty coherent and easy to follow.

And the obscure references are often pretty dope. Can't fault someone for having knowledge and using them in his music, I know about a lot of the shyt he's talking about. Not all, but that's ok, it doesn't make me feel stupid lol, we all know different things, anything I hear and don't know can always learn about if I want to.

Still havent addressed it...

"metro sexual stegosaurus with a thesaurus metaphoric clitoris"

this shyt could very well be lyrics on any Bis song after his 1st album...

Lol. Not really, cause it isn't. Bis vs Rip wasn't on his first album though, that wasn't random words thrown together was it?

Here's a link: canibus - poet laureate infinity.mp3

So from when that site was up, I was able to get the accapellas and beats he had on that mixer.

I chose one beat that seemed to sync up the best w/ the accapellas and spliced them. He would end each verse w/ Poet Laureate Infinity, but I tried editing that out until the final verse...overall it's pretty seamless with the overlaps but some of it does get jumbled.


Be prepared though it's pretty much Bis spitting for almost an hour straight.


I also have a Poet Laureate that combines part 1 and 2, since they both use the same outros
So for those that didnt get to see the mixer. There was a website with a mixing bored where you could move between 2 beats and 5 completely different 200 bar verses. Now, the concept was that this was an infinite verse. And what was truly amazing was that at any point during those 200 bars you could switch from one verse to another and it would still rhyme. shyt was pretty ridiculous. Then folks started making their own songs out of it since there really were infinite was to create the song. Not sure i could listen to an hour straight but still maybe the most impressive thing i have seen in hiphop.

FYI the mixer was here as of a month ago. maybe it will be back. http://canibuscentral.ihiphop.com/site/media/pli_mixing_board/

Yeah, shyt is crazy how it would still rhyme...that takes some careful planning and writing to pull that off. Even crazier it's not just bullshyt rhymes, each vocal is more or less a story within itself.

Best song is either "Poet Laureate II" or the original 9 minute version of "Cingularity Point." Best freestyle is either the DJ Clue freestyle ("I speak at frequencies...") or the Tim Westwood Freestyle over "Oh No" (disregard the wack ass Pakman aka Classic Pak)

Related news: New Bis album comes out June 10th. Here's the first single

I cant pick between Nikkanometry & No Return as my fav Bis song. Both so dope but Id prolly give the edge to No Return. Song & beat are crack:ahh:

Whats going on is prolly my 3rd favorite

Ive always liked Bis and enjoyed his music:ehh:

Too bad his beat selection was atrocious tho..
