Let's be real canibus would never be allowed to be a big star. Big corporations would never promote a nikka spitting shyt like that. So all that talk about his albums flopping is kinda irrelevant
Mainstream nikkas who are considered lyricists like nas and jay still gotta talk about street/ money / mafioso shyt and not some science/higher learning shyt like what canibus was on
The goal was always to make rap what it is today. Ignorant gibberish to make nikkas dumber and Cacs richer
