Nas will always be the overall better lyricists. Nas just doesn't have Bis's viciousness.
-
I think Canibus is the better lyricist.
-
Let me clarify, nas is a WAYYYY better all around rapper(subject matter, albums etc)
Were just talking lyrically -

Ok I'll give u an example
Who's better overall, 2pac or Canibus? 2pac
Who's better lyrically? Canibus by ALOT
See what I'm saying -
Nas is GOAT mc period. I'll be honest, no 2 is not even close.
But Canibus in his prime will always be the GOAT lyricist I've ever heard. Period. He maybe one-dimensional but lyricism is his dimension. The things he was saying at the time was simply way ahead of his time. When I listen to Bis vs Rip, Poet Laurate 2, 1000 Bars, 2000BC, MicClub, Mind blowing is the only way to describe Cani. He maybe a shell of his former self now but those who know the truth.
Some may not admit it now but Canibus's influence can be heard in many of the great lyricists of today- Em, the entire slaughterhouse, Pun, Stimuli, J-Cole and a host of others etc. -

Seriously. I don't. If Pac is, better overall then imo he is the better lyricist.
I think Canibus is, more Raw and Rhymes in more complex schemes but I can't say he is a better lyricists. -

he does make good songs its just his songs are strictly hip hop and people want r and b rap and something on their own education level -

Them Canibus albums are wack except for 2000 B.C. and Can-I-Bus....You need more than lyrics to make a good song -
I'm curious to know which one you've heard. 2000 bc was ten years ago.Them Canibus albums are wack except for 2000 B.C. and Can-I-Bus....You need more than lyrics to make a good song -
In terms of Lyricism, only Rakim,Gza,Blackthought & Andre 3k are ? with Nas....

10 years ago is when Canibus was hot.....nobody checking for his music anymore.... -
Nothin Canibus has ever made is touchin Illmatic so Nas is the winner.

lol at your response to the question.stop being a sheep and think for yourself and perhaps you could better understand canibus -
canibus aint as great as some of yall make him sound, all he does is try too hard to go over your head with some scientific ?
-
nobodys checking for him but he is one of the emcees talked about everyday on the ic
-
To clarify: Nas is the GOAT. imo and one of my favorite rappers, Canibus is top3 imo and one of my other favorite rappers. That said:
Lyrically Canibus>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Nas. Canibus: 25 Nas: 10
Overall: Nas 12 Canibus 10
Pac: 8.5 (all out of 10).
So yes Canibus is better lyrically and is the GOAT lyrically. -

What do you mean by lyricist?
Overall goes to Nas. Lyrically goes to Canibus. -
