He was not. He was a nerdy backpack rapper.

I wouldn't say that, dude was in the army also don't forget, and knows how to use guns, he may have caught more bodies than a lot of these fake gangstas. Whether he was about that life, I don't know, didn't strike me as a dude that was a gangsta like that, but he certainly isn't a p*ssy or a coward. He was quite brave, he's shown that often.

then why did he talk so tough?

especiall towards LL etc.
LL - Bis is my favorite rap battle of all time, I don't recall him talking tough. LL dissed him first, Bis dissed him back, that's how the rap game was back then :manny:




Cube, Dre, Ja Rule, Drake... none of these nikkas was about that life but they dissed people on wax.




Just because you're not a goon doesn't you have to be a complete sissy in life :pachaha:

Bus defiantly has that spirit that allows him to dwell amongst thugs, kinda like DJ Premier. But when that rumor about him getting beat up by Blinky Blink at his album release party hit and Bus never spoke on it, it made me look at him a lil different. Bus also never went at Camron from bringing it up on the song "Take Em To Church" which leads me to believe that something did go down with Blinky Blink and sh*t got so real that Bus just wants to avoid bringing attention to it all together. Atleast thats what I concluded.

Canibus was not a drug dealer.

Thats the only life to be about if we're talking tough guys in rap.


there are some p*ssy ass people that sell drugs.:sas2:

i know older people that told me about the same things. abut people they knew at my age

drug dealers aren't tough to me (at least most that i've known, obviousy there are exceptions)


little idnain guy, white gymbro, etc

Yeah I know, I just mean like the connotation of "nerdy" or possibly being too assuming cause some a lot of the street dudes I know are very intelligent, but they more than about it if it goes down lol. People are very diverse and different, you can have cowards people would assume were about it then humble calm dudes that would body dudes. Bis had some hard/street content in his rhymes too. I think unless you know someone you can't really say definitively.

You're getting off track. In hiphop, when people say you're bout that life, they are talking about youre ability to hurt other people as a byproduct of your up bringing in the streets, hustling. There really is no other reason to hurt people unless its for money. We dont celebrate crazy for the sake of being crazy.
