Episode 69 | Canibus Sophomore Album "2000 B.C" Turns 25!

Listen to my voice New York. Listen Deeply, You are getting sleepy. On July 18th you're gonna get up go to the record store and you're going to buy 2000 B.C!

Canibus is the original Internet Emcee/Blog Era Rapper and I have a heck of a sidebar on this topic. Canibus was one of my absolute favorite rappers of the late 90's early 2000's. I was overly excited to buy his 2nd album since the first one left a lot to be desired.

From the Battle with LL, New Wyclef distain and The DJ Clue Promo Freestyle, nothing was going to stop me from copping and getting my ears on this! In a time where the "Sophomore Jinx" was a hot topic especially in regards to rap music, Canibus was one of few artist of his time to actually defeat the stigma; However, it largely fell on deaf ears and personally, I feel it's one of the most disrespected album in hip-hop ever!

Let's talk the album, the progression of Canibus and how labels and marketing truly make or break careers no matter how we feel about talent and skill. And of course we'll talk about how some emcee's may truly get in their own way and how that can not do you any favors long term.
