Bad Album Covers: Canibus

I remember when this guy was such a monster on the mic, which is what makes this cover so damn sad. Look at him sitting in that 1989 Rolls Royce with that wad of fake money, daydreaming about mainstream success. Poor kid. I heard a recent mixtape from him and he was on some radio friendly, Top 10 , psuedo down south shit. What a shame.

Dayum Canibus really could have been something special. Just goes to show rap aint just about rap no more. I thought he was in the military now anyway.

I think if you look at the title ‘Hiphop For Sale’, he’s making a mockery of everything. Sort of like The Roots did in the “Thing you do” video.

[...] I haven’t done one of these posts in a minute. This is actually the second time I’ve thrown ‘Bis under the bus. I think you’ll agree that he brings this upon himself. [...]

I think its fairly obvious its a joke… I mean Canibus was never on that “if you ain’t shinin right you ain’t grindin right tip” for one.
But more to the point is the title… “Hip Hop for Sale” as e dubbs said.
In light of that I think its actually pretty funny and I like the cover.
