Can’t blame Wyclef for that. Canibus was great on features and mixtapes. But when it came down to making albums he just wasn’t that guy

I disagree. He trusted Clef to helm the production and did what he could with what he had. Contractually, he may have had no choice. If he had just rode the hype and got an Illmatic-esque collection of the hottest producers and just went off, he probably would have blown up. Clef gave him a gang of weird shyt sampling trains and Q-Bert:mjlol:

The most overrated underground rapper of all time.

You bugging the fukk out. Canibus was damn near legendary before his album came out. He had damn near the whole game under pressure off guest verses and freestyles. If his first album was handled and produced correctly, rap music history is different.

I love that she mentioned him lol, that's fukking dope. Bis is that nikka man, of course he ain't Nas/Jay/Em status but there are degrees of legendary. There is a dope story in the life and times of Canibus in the context of Hip Hop culture.

Above the fray.
Canibus did not wash Common on that shyt man, Common was getting crazy on there. Canibus did too.

See my thing is Clef had success as a producer before and after Canibus. So even if we can out some of the blame on him it’s not like Canibus was putting out good music after that

Name another pure spitter, or anyone in that type of lane he had success with.

2000 BC, RTJ, Mic Club, TFPD were really good, and he's NEVER had A tier production besides a song or two with Premier.
