Why Canibus "Beasts From The East" Featured Verse on The Lost Boyz Song Was Ahead Of Its Time
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 май 2023
- When Canibus was an up and coming, ferocious emcee who was impressing the rap world on his guest features and radio appearances, he had an early opportunity to feature on the Lost Boyz 1997 sophomore album Love, Peace and Nappiness. Canibus was featured on 2 songs. One of those 2 songs was "Beasts from the East," which also featured Redman and A+ (the NY A+). This Canibus verse made a tremendous impression on the rap world and put him on a lot of people's radar. In this video, we look at the early-career of Canibus, his career as a whole, and examine his guest verse on "Beasts from the East."
A couple of other great early featured verses by Canibus include Common's "Making a Name For Ourselves," Wyclef's "Gone Til November" remix, LL Cool J's "4,3,2,1" (which led to the LL Cool J vs Canibus beef), and Nas's late-90s group The Firm's "Desperados."

Definitely one of the greatest verses of all time. I'm glad someone else out there is up on this as much as I am. Salute
Thanks, yeah dude was ahead of his time. That 2000 BC album was crazy too. I was really hoping it would sell more after that "its been a long tiiime" lead single. What's your fav Canibus album?
@@WoogTalksMusic his first album was definitely my favorite. That long freestyle he had on DJ Clue's mixtape was another amazing verse. "I speak a frequency dogs will have trouble hearing" that joint!
Truth be told, Cannabis actually had two verses. He also wrote A+ verse. He was really a great lyricist!
He wrote that A+ verse? Damn. He probably gave A+ the bars that didn't make his verse. Lol. "Word to the father, the son, the holy ghost and Rev Run!"
Canibus is just on a different level.
I use to love listening to those Poet Laureate songs too. With the super-long verse and beat switch-ups. Or that one mixtape with all of his radio features. Awesome lyricist.
not once potential great. one of the greatest of all time.
Redman set him up perfectly. We don't jack for guns we jack for aircraft carriers. Sad the song doesn't get the credit it deserves.
nah. canibus didn't need a take off ramp. his entire verse was a blast into space.
Always hailed this as one of the greatest verses in hip-hop. I remember being 12/13 and memorizing this whole verse! Plus LB was my favorite group at the time so I was all here for it!
LB fan?? Dope. I use to play Music Makes Me High on repeat. I think that 2nd album Love Peace n Nappiness came with a cd-rom/dvd that had the Music Makes Me High Remix music video. But yeah, I agree about that verse. I was only a couple years older when I heard it. Blew my mind. Btw, My Crew was a cool track on that LB album too. The LP&N title track too.
@@WoogTalksMusic that's all factz! The 'sophomore jinx' was a big worry at that time and I remember being nervous about the release but beyond pleased when I heard the 2nd album! They updated with the times but stayed true to the LB sound. Those songs you mentioned are definitely 🔥. Even Summer Time can still bump during the summer, and the story told on Tight Situations is dope as well.
"Slow downward decent" = Literally being openly and blatantly blackballed by multi-million dollar entities.
Canibus has over 4000 songs and 15+ albums. His ouput is impressive.
I started this video saturday night. it's sunday afternoon; i still havent heard the verse.
Lmao.
Canibus was part of our management team & family Group Home. We knew Canibus for being ill because he was around us working with us which was the reason for the features. He was/is and has always been a brilliant individual.

New sub Woog!!!!
Canibus wrote all of A+ verses
Listen to Boys 2 Men ... that A+ verse is classic bis
EMCEES/MC'S VS RAPPERS..HE WAS EMCEEIN'..
Agree! Who are some of your favorite emcees? I saw the Drizzy/emcee mention on the other message.
@@WoogTalksMusic
FROM NEWEST TO OLDEST; COAST CONTRA/BOLDY JAMES/ROC MARCIANO/BLACK THOUGHT/WU TANG CLAN/NAS/PHAROAHE MONCH/KRS-ONE..I LEFT OUT A FEW MAYBE (BATTLE RAPPERS MOSTLY) BUT I'M OLD SCHOOL..KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK MAN, PEACE..
OH YEAH, KNOWLEDGE THE PIRATE/RANSOM..BATTLE RAPPERS; LOADED LUX/BLISS CREED/RUM NITTY/NU JERZEY TWURK/CHEF TREZ/BRIZZ RAWSTEEN..
When cannabis pulled out that notebook it reminded me when tyson corner pulled out that water balloon when he lost t o buster Douglas
Nas knew better, that's why he removed his verse from Desperados... And Cool J went at him on 4321 for the original verse..... Canibus (For Whom The Beat Toll's) album is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah, the story behind the 4321 verse was messed up. Come to think of it, I haven't searched RUclips for that original Canibus verse "is that a mic on ya arm, let me borrow that" but its probably out there. I remember finding it on those old sites like Napster and Morpheus. Lol. Nas removed a verse from Desperados though?
I think his "desperados" verse is better.
That "Aids" line i think he borrowed it from Nas "live at BBQ" verse. "Slamming MC on cement, cus verbally, I'm iller than aids patient"
I can't put lil Wayne, drake in the same convo with Canibus, those are commercial ass rapper with 90% weak lyrics and one or two catchy line. Biz is a different beast of an MC regardless what happened at the battle rap.
Interesting on Desperado. I've always preferred the Beasts one. I feel you on the Nas "BBQ" verse, but the "AIDS scared to catch me" takes the irony so much further. "Iller than and AIDS patient" is like saying "sicker than sickle cell" or "iller than ebola" or something. Saying "AIDS scared to catch me" reverses the idea that people are "scared to catch AIDS." It flips the whole idea.. saying he's so sick that the disease is afraid to catch HIM. You know? It stretches the metaphor IMO. But I get what you're saying. Btw, put some respect on Lil Wayne and Drake, lyrically. Lol. Listen to Wayne's Da Draught 3 or Dedication mixtapes. His rhymes schemes and lyrics are insane, man. Drake too. Peep his songs Diplomatic Immunity, Survival, Tuscan Leather, You and the 6, and 4pm in Calabasas. Have you already heard them? If not, let me know what you think. I'm a huge fan of 90s emcees, but I can't front on Weezy and Drizzy. Lol
Love Canibus. There is such a narrow lane for intelligence and virtue in commercial rap. Are you related to the Hodges?
Yeah, man. I recently re-listened to that Mic Club album, which was a fav of mine at the time.. 2002, I think. Ridiculous lyrics. So, so thoughtful. I loved that 2000 BC album too. I think he's one of the most mis-understood rappers ever. It was either over people's heads or they just didn't take the time to digest the lines. Lupe suffers the same thing, IMO. Lol, that last part is funny. I've been getting the Hodges. Steph Curry. (Even though my cousin clowned and said 'nah, Seth Curry (the brother)).
@@WoogTalksMusic mic club changed the trajectory of rap music. first rap album with 1000 bars.
C True Hollywood Stories was a satire album.
Had to return to repost.
CANIBUS = TOP 5 GOAT EMCEE.
Eminem knows Canibus is GOAT that's why Eminem won't say his name. That's how it goes. It's all political.
DRAKE IS NOT AN EMCEE..
Lol, Drake is pretty sick, man. On his lyrical tracks. Check out Diplomatic Immunity. 4pm in Calabasas. Survival. You and the 6. Tuscan Leather. Fear. Not to say you haven't heard those. Just sayin... those and some others are super-lyrical.
Great video, but look up K-Rino from Houston who inspired Canibus. KILLER RHYMES INTELLECTUALLY NULLIFYING OPPONENTS. -The real GOAT. He was actually rapping before Canibus.
nah. bis miles ahead.
@thisisanewusername4662 I've been listening to Canibus recently. He's one of the best to do it. They're both lyrical geniuses, but K-Rino has him on album quality and quantity (close to 50 albums and their all dope), and consistency. K-Rino also holds the record for dropping 7 dope albums on 1 day. They actually have songs together where K-Rino has the better verse imo.
Didnt know Steph Curry had another brother😅
Lol, been hearing that at random spots ever since the Warriors started winning rings. My older cousin tried to clown a few years ago and said "nahhh.. Seth. Seth Curry." Cold-blooded.
