I’m conflicted. Vinnie Paz is a legend as the muscular lyricist and main voice of one of the greatest underground hardcore rap groups of all time, Jedi Mind Tricks. But Canibus is . . . Kind of lame. I know he’s got his fans, but ever since Eminem completely destroyed him, I can’t think of him as anything but a big pussy.
“Blood Brothers” is a street album more than a mixtape–it’s well mixed, there’s no shouting DJ, and the songs are fully formed and complete. And most of them are pretty damn good, too. The Paz parts, at least, are consistently solid. And Canibus is a lot better than I expected him to be.
It’s definitely a worthy mixtape. But the real reason I’m tossing it up is because it’s timely. The song “Black Christmas” is pretty damn funny.

Canibus just dropped bombs on Eminem. See youtbue: “Canibus Air Strike D12″.
Lyrically Canibus stops on Eminem. The only reason Eminem is so big is because of Dr. Dre. Canibus will show the world how good he is if Eminem responds back to “Air Strike”

I haven’t heard them. I’m off Em based on his last few years of releasing pure crap, but his skill in the earlier years is undeniable.

Eminem has way more lyrical talent then canibus, canibus is pretty dope but eminem blows him out of the fucking water. His new shit is a hit or miss but his old shit is fucking magical. And if anything, eminem boosted dr. dres popularity.
