that piece where Canibus drifts off into talking about the middle of Little Italy is still one of the smoothest flowing lines out there to date

This was a Canibus mixtape verse, and as you all know very well mixtape verses are not that great, they are mostly written in a freestyle format. So Canibus submitted this verse to Kay Slay. Then he gave it to Papoose. Papoose then wrote "better" bars (he dedicated himself to that endeavour and got very busy to try to overshadow Bus) and labeled the track a "collaboration", which is false! That's why Canibus made years later "CPTN Cold Crush" and sent shots to Pap. The good thing about this is Canibus was/is considered a lyrical challenge and a measure of lyrical skill.

Canibus never fail to deliver pure hip hop dopeness

Can recognize real, he quoted BIG Pun and he said his energy enters me strengthens me. RIP BIG PUN

Can I bus........yes you can..........underrated

THEY BOTH KILL THIS! NO HOOK, BUT THIS STYLE IS MY FAVOURITE KIND OF HIP HOP> WORD PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY ALL DAY

both lyrical giants.....

Last verse of Papoose 🔥🙏

bis is so legendary, i want a comeback already...

This track is ill but truth is it was just Canibus on the track and he did his thing and went to the army... but then Kay Slay added Papoose on it later on.

On that last verse , Papoose made sure he aint going down like Jay-z on "Raenegade" .

BIS Killed It!!

"I can articulate i wanna brawl-tici-pate- but u can't hold me back with black ball #8"

This is absolute heat! A match made in lyrical heaven

papoose popped off at the end, fucking crazy

The perfect music machine mechanical bean the most lyrical digital screens the world has ever seen ⭐

Ive got more black than early Africa. Papoose is going in hard too

I had to come back to the essences, throwback Monday 2022, R.I.P Kay Slay aka Da Drama King 👑

Canibus killed it

"I'll turn you into a vegetable and eat your broccoli" Lol.

His rhymes at the end weren't exactly the most intelligent, but he had crazy flow. And "hit 'em between the eyes like the S in Mississippi" is one of the best punchlines I've heard.

Canibus dropped Pun tribute! big ups to rap!!!!

I heard Papoose on Sway 5 fingers of death he KILLED it. I want to hear Canibus do his thing on 5 fingers of death Freestyle. I am a papoose fan and I love music (hip-hop #1).

for those who don't know... Bis recorded his all as one giant verse, then it was cut up when they decided to add papoose to it. Bis's sounds better when heard all at once cuz the rhyme scheme is chopped on in this version. Overall Pap did take this because he got the chance to try and one-up Bis. But Bis's 'entire' verse on his own beats Pap on this

CANIBUS is one of the best Lyricist of All time

"I hit em in between the eyes like the eyes like the 's' in mississippi

Great duo both always come in hard they feeding off each other on this track spitting fire like its nothing man

"Rip the Jacker" is pretty classic in itself.. "The Curriculum" and" For Whom the Beat Tolls" aren't too far behind....

Damn Papoose held his own. Holdin your own against a Hip Hop legend is no easy task

pap killed it

smoking a Blunt brought here. ..fuckn FIRE

Did I just hear this?? OH.MY.DAYS!!

Thats why Bis wrote this verse on Captain Cold Crush. A thousand bars later, I ain' heard nothing from Pap Where you was at when I was giving Big Punisher dap? On stage with a him at the Palladium You was in a gymnasium, I was putting chainsaws to craniums Blazing Homosapians in the atrium, ripping jaws off aliens Performing "Channel Zero" in stadiums Up at Hot 97 disgracing them.

I can't front... I was one of those people who used to hate on Pap saying that he hadn't done anything since "Alphabetical Slaughter"... After hearing this I take back ALL the criticism's that I have thrown his way in the past... He came more than correct on this track... And Bis did his thing too... They both were dope on this.

Yea, Bis's "verses" were on the track "Say It Ain't So" on MicClub Mixtape Master, Vol. 1

You couldn't stop the lead showers, if you washed with a gat-proof cloth

Dear god, say it ain't so Yeah, it's so that's right Papoose and Canibus collaboration Yo Canibus set it off man, let's go [Canibus] Jesus Christ, my name should be Jeebus Mic Even when I rip this shit fans leave up tight Can-I-bus spit is in my blood, I'm blessed Outside the bones, but inside the flesh And yes, if I was focused I could crush you Cuz you sayin you focused, then how come I can still touch you?

That Big Pun reference though, my nigga canibus

This is pure hip-hop art..

Yeah, but after that Canibus gives him complete credit for the line. "The Big Pun energy enters me, strengthens me."

Canibus flow rhyme scheme papoose voice and lyricism

It's nice to see Pap remixin' some Canibus shit. It would be even better if they really did a collab!

"say it aint so" - canibus, mic club mixtape

what canibus said, slugs rain from the sky, is like the angels, want me to die, they want me to try harder, fuck what yall say about him, im 49, and that shit mortavate me

Canibus gave his lyrics to Kay Slay to make a mix then Kay Slay mixed with Papoose lyrics in one track which is this track where Papoose tries to outshine Canibus. Canibus was angry about it and Canibus released "Captain Cold Crush" to destroy Papoose

2 punchline kings on one track

"You couldn't stop the lead showers if you washed with a gat-proof cloth..." are you serious? This song is too hot. They should do an album together. I love Canibus and am really starting to like Papoose

"I'll buss you, than spit some young buck shit at you, cuzz 'I still got the heart to go and bust me a head or two'" ^^^That shit seemed so random to me, Canibus quoting Young Buck lol

man.. they should come out with an album together.. dam.. that would be sick.

thats a big pun line. He was giving him props or whatever you call it. He then says directly after that "the big pun energy enters me strengthens me"

"soon as ya man try to grip the semi,Imma hit em between the eye like the s in Mississippi" That line was mad ill for real.

Buss +Papp REAL HIP-HOP!! 🔥 THANK YOU!!

2 of my favorite most underrated and sadly underachieving emcees

The I in Mississippi and that verse by pap damn!!!!

i remember 2004 when this came out first time i heard pap.i was stuck mind blown cuz of these two.

Jesus christ.my name should be G bus mic🔥🔥🔥👑

Guerrilla Monsoon Rap beat is probably the sickest thing Kanye ever produced. As much as I love the Talib/Roots/Monch track, this is hard too.

I respect both Canibus and Papoose Papoose is number 1 cause he can go somewhere with his lyrics Canibus still is the Lyrical King

"Jesus Christ, my name should be Je-bus Mic." Wow.

This beat goes so hard, I dont kno why ppl say Canibus spits over whack beats

"pap, where you was at, when i was giving big punisher dap,"

Vicious 💪

They both bodied this track & they r such a inspiration during this tumultous time in hiphop.

Papoose is the King of This Track.

Pap went hard on this jant!! I don’t think I’ve ever heard this one.

canibus one of the best all time, but papoose rose up to the competition and spit his best verses here

That's muthafuckin G-Bust mic!! he even said "Big Pun energy enters me, strengthens me lay you down shoot you in the back and watch you centipede" !! str8 sickness right there and RIP Big Pun the great.

I remember this from 04-05 still 🔥

HipHop at its finest

Papoose and Canibus are really good. Canibus has metaphor's,similes,and he's really lyrical with an awsome vocabulary. Papoose has to be one of the best metaphoric rappers out there. Combined, and you get the best song made!

These my jams since 16 years old n going Pap and Canibus!!

A Sick Track indeed Bro, Thanks for sharing.

they should do an album together collabs like this are always so sick

Pap and Bis..it's not fair. It's just not fair.

"HONESTLY BIS WAS WARMING UP" his last verse I was like...yeah buddy..great fucking track

The 90's was the golden era of rap big l, canibus, pac Wu tang biggie the lost boyz haha wtf happened to rap recently

Papoose is a problem if you don't agree you either a hater or just don't know the truth, I used to eff with Pap so much back in the days when he was dropping mixtapes heavy, I had high hopes for him but unfortunately he hasn't come through on his promise, his potential is out of this world though if he had radio time he could easily be the best emcee/rapper in today's rap game. Take that to bank I swear you'd be a rich man.

Holyyy! damn near forgot about this goodie from the crates 🔥🔥

Great battle from two legendary lyrical ninjaz

bruh theez two will fry ya head fr

it's a great song. It's not a battle or competition so why are people comparing the two? They both did their part to make the song hot.

Ripthejacker to infinity!

didn't bite at all it was a show of respect. They did a song together on DJ CLue the Professional Call the Fantastic 4 with Cam'ron, Pun, Nore, and Canibus

thank you damn these fans are all saying Canibus did better and shit and they know thats not true

This is a nice song. Papoose killed the Syllables on this one. And Canibus did what Canibus do spit hot verses

Papoose you went all the way on this one classic

Yea, you can't even compare artist like Papoose and Canibus to commerical artists. Commerical artists are good, but lyically they can't even compare to underground. It's like comparing Goku and Batman. Two awesome peeps, but on totally different levels of awesomeness.

“Dead in the middle of little Italy little did we know we riddled two middlemen who didn’t do diddly.”“Twinz” by big pun

That’s competition.

2024 and this shit still goes hard af 🔥🔥

stop argue about who take out this song. Everyone knows that it is papoose, BUT I had listen every album of canibus and I really love his music. A part of hiphops knowledge is to look this whole rap game as blind. I had love many MCs that I hate on thise days.

We thought LL met his match! No canibus met his on this!😂😂😂😂

Damn I been wanting to find this Canibus freestyle didn't know Pap was on it. Love that Kweli (Kanye beat)

This shit hit different

a PITBULL off the leesh bark is speech,like a bull in the PIT lifting you off your feet.crazy!!

Thanks brother,thats what I was saying.If Canibus would have did this live it would be over for Pap

Yea, Bis' "verses" were on the track "Say It Ain't So" in MicClub Mixtape Master, Vol. 1

i like the pun line emulation

canibus, papoose and busta need to get a group together and make my life complete

2018
