Another year has gone by and looking back this has been Canibus's most succesful year ever since he got left Universal. He shut up his crictics with undeniable classic album with the some of the greatest beats of all time. Album was truly a classic. He also 'got his life togeher' by joining the US army (rtj booklet)
Now without further delay, I present to you
RapReviews.com name Rip The Jacker #1 Album of 2003
"The top 15 you see here is based on nothing other than the personal picks of the editor/webmaster of the site, for better or worse.".......
.......
#1: Canibus: "Rip the Jacker"
LL Cool J may claim the title "Greatest of All Time," but his rival Canibus holds an equally impressive title - Greatest COMEBACK. After nearly derailing his career on albums like "'C' True Hollywood Stories," hip-hop's own sunwalker finally found a producer equal to his verbal heat - Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind. Check what the review says about it and see if you don't think it's the "must have" album of 2003. Here's a snippet: "Rip the Jacker may be the first album of perfection Canibus has seen in his half decade career, and it showcases to an unparalleled degree why early on he was compared to greats like Rakim. If he continues to work with Stoupe and release albums like this, there's no limits to where 'Bis can take rap."

Royce Da 5'9" did not aim "Its Over" at Canibus
The track "Its Over" from the new MIC Mixtape has created some confusion about lyrics that could of been seen as a diss towards Canibus is actually not intended for a diss at all says Royce's manger and co-owner of Make It Count Records, Kino.
The lyrics were:
Niggas talking barely can take a punch
and suffer a bigger loss than eric benet
when you come to the rap planet
thats packed with canidates
to attack us to battle
and get subtracted like canibus

Royce Da 5'9" disses Canibus
Royce Da 5'9" has added The Canibus Man to his ultimate enemies list which is more than 20. The diss track is called It's Over and its the last track on his latest mixtape "M.I.C. Mixtapes Vol. 1". It might be the best Canibus diss ever and clearly sh*ts on "Can-i-bitch" by Eminem with lines like:
"Combined wit the heat of atlanta / im a be leavin ya standing there / wheezing n' bleeding when im squeezing the can n' competing we meet but we cant its like reading the encyclopedia britanica / feeble emcees in the land of tha / rambler / claiming he be in panana / slangin weed, he couldn't sneak a can of beans to canada"
and
"Nigg*s talking barely can take a punch,and suffer a bigger loss/ than eric benet/when you come/ to the rap planet/thats packed with canidates/ to attack us to battle/and get subtracted like canibus/"
Even tho this is not a man to man (for example 2nd round ko) diss but its clearly aimed at Canibus and is arguably the best Canibus diss released.

Rumor: Return to Can-i-bus (album) with a 6 or 12 minute Eminem diss|Not joining ROC?
Hey all, Just received the new Canibus bootleg this morning.. shits crazy. I donno when this is going retail and my boy is also clueless, he's confident it will one of these days but could not give me a date cause much work still needed to be done. It's a nice album with 18 tracks maybe his second best to date behind Rip The Jacker. The first track is a little boring as Bis examines his influence/fan base on different internet sites thankfully, it only lasts 47 seconds where he clicks on
a link which leads into the Horsemen track. Rass Kass and Kurupt come off surprisingly strong, just as good as Bis while Killah Presit sounds horrible. The overall concept is nice with a beat similar to Lost @ C. The next track is also nice - some recycled rhymes but reminds me of his original pre-97 style.. the beat is incredible and the hook is ill which makes this one of the better
tracks on the album. There's also collabs with Meth, Chino and acouple other rappers I can't identify. It's decent but nothing spectacular. The best track on the album is without a doubt the Em
diss, For the full six minutes your in awe over his delivery. Shits incredible.
He attacks all of Em's strengths threw quasi-storey telling. It's starts out on fire then ends with some of the illest rhymes bis has ever spit, very passionate and makes Em look like a fool with
Can-A-Bitch. There's also a few freestyles and a ridicules long 12:07 track. I assume this will be Poet Laureate 3 as it has the same guy in the first two. It reminds me of Get Down by Nas but far superior. The story telling is perfect cuz you can truly visualize each bar and not get confused with big words. He does a great job to merge the different verses together.. i'm trulyimpressed, never have I heard an entire 12 minute song with no choruses while hanging on to every bar until the end where your left wanting more.
Someone one google got this email. Just like I said, its just a rumor. I also figured that there is something named "return to Can-i-bus" on mIRC, here. I personally never figured out how to use packet news so I dont know how to get that.
Thats on part of the rumor. allhiphop.com posted following on their rumors section:
We all knew Canibus was smart, but it seems like he is a higher form of intelligence than the UFO he once rapped about. Anyway, soon as we plead for him to reply to Eminem's canib*tch?diss?we got word that he is about to drop a 12 minute diss straight at his Caucasian counter-brother. The song is rumored to be on the rapper? next untitled collection of songs. We don? choose sides, but we heard Bis takes it to Eminem? chest dissing his style, albums and life in general.
Now since both are rumors, I cant tell which one is true.
Allhiphop.com also said that Canibus has decided not to go to Roc-a-fella. But dont get excited or dissappinted because this is just a rumor.
On some other news, DJ Kay Slay shouted out Canibus on BET's 106 & Park and said he was the greatest freestyler of all time. Also Free (the host and the girl on Canibus track "patriots") said that she wants bis on her album. Are we going to see a bis track on Free's album? Only time will tell.

Eminem - Can-I-Bitch (Canibus Diss Track) leaked
Finally Eminem (or fans) has managed to get a (leak a) Canibus diss. This is a little bit of Slick Rick style track and has "Walk Out Me" (by eminem) reminiscent beat. Some people say that this track is leaked so Eminem can shadow the controversy surrounding him. It sounds like a track back from 6 months because there are references to Jermaine Dupri. You can listen to the track here (thanks to hrsmn.net) There are also few other rumors going around like Interscope is trying to get this track off the net and I also heard that Louis Loumbard (Canibus's Manager) posted on some internet forums saying that Canibus has heard this track and already has a response ready and also posted snippet lyrics.

More News on Jay-Z signing Canibus
Jay z said he feels the HipHop game needs a rapper like Canibus to get a fair chance so they can change the game. Make Hiphop exciting again. Jay feels that if Bis was on a label like ROC he'd be at the very least a solid Gold artist . If not 1 million or more!
"Canibus deserves a fair shot like I got, like I gave Bleek, Beans, Freeway and the rest"
Following the rumours that Jay told Beans not to respond to the diss track Who Owns You in which Canibus takes shots at Beanie it would seem that Jay has serious interest in signing Canibus. You heard it here first! Keep checking back for more exclusives on this surprising story.

Canibus signing to Roc-a-fella?
General Hiphop industry DIY man in Philly, Klap, found himself speaking to Jay Z yesterday and got some very revealing information.
It would seem that Jay Z hasn't, as many feared, completely rejected the truecore fans he made with his first album and lost with near everything since, but has in fact kept his ear to the ground.
Among his favourite MCs of the moment are Common and Talib Kweli. He's trying to work with Last Emperor and even said he hopes to sign none other than Canibus to Rocafella records!!!
More exclusive news on this story will be coming soon as it comes in.

Chino XL on HRSMN Project Posted By: Usman 12 Oct 2003
Despite Canibus being in the Army and Ras Kass being locked down, The Four Horsemen album, which also includes Killah Priest and Kurupt, will be finally see the light of day.
"It was an inevitable thing," Chino said. "Priest is featured on my album, me and Canibus have wanted to rock together for awhile and I got a crazy respect for him and you know me and Ras go way back. I am going to be on two songs so far."
With Ras being locked down and Canibus in the Army, the obstacle of getting the rappers recorded is currently being worked out.
"I would love for us to all get in the same room. You can send tracks back and forth and have correspondence and communication, but when you get artists in the room who have love and admiration for each other and the art, the cohesion between the artists and what they right becomes something, even if they don't talk to each other. I would like to record some of the songs in the studio together."
Recording is slated to start at the end of the month, when Canibus finishes his Army duties.
There is no release date for the Four Horsemen project. The group is currently negotiating a deal.
