[The Ruler 09]

Shouts out for that Bizzy Bone mention!

Canibus has some GEMS (Dead By Design is one of my all time favorite tracks, the Poet Laureate series is good for damn sure ) but I wouldn't suggest his entire discography by a long shot bro bro.

Yeah Bizzy has some amazing work.

Dead By Design also 1 of my favourite tracks, Melatonin Magik in general highly underrated. I agree he has some weaker albums, but my reasoning is his great shyt really SHOULD be listened to so its worth checking for the great work that's there, I feel he's done some great and original things in Hip Hop that are valuable. True he does have some misses along with the great work though.

In general, but I haven't taken the time to listen to him enough, so I can't speak...
