Hypothecially speaking who do you guys think would win if their was an battle between Canibus and Immortal Technique

i think canibus would kick some real solid memorable lines to kinda "dazed" technique. i am well aware of both being great battle emcees. but part of me says this battle could go either way. who do you think would win and why?

Canibus.

He based his whole goddamn career on battling. Or at least others fearing to battle him. He is simply the greatest battle MC of all time (In my opinion, although I don't know many battle MC's)

i think 'Bis would win based on his punchlines and his word usage alone. C'mon not every rapper could say he memorized the dictionary.

Canibus... Hands Down Immortal Is Decent At Best , He's Not The Illest Emcee To Live.

Granted Immortal can make a better album, but he isn't a better emcee.

My opinion - Canibus

He has more agressive rhymez, his style is more agressive, his verses in ordinary songs r battle-like!

Check just one from Desperados:
"At a thousand degree Celsius I make MC's melt
Fuck my record label I appear courtesy of myself
Let me explain how I maintain thresholds to pain
I walk across the Sun barefoot lookin for shade
I rearrange your rib cage like a twelve gauge at close range
and change the position of your brain
My hard raps penetrate through your hardhats and all that
nigga, get ya wig peeled back
I scalp you like the indians on horseback
Running Bull will hit you harder than runningback
Stunning man with brave and cunning rap
Swiftly running laps around 48 tracks
Like uncut crack you fiends keep coming back
Heads is flippin like acrobats on gym mats
From wax to analog tapes to digital DAT's
It's critical black, that Canibus is ill like that
In fact perhaps you should quit rap, instead of always
tryin to diss back, cause niggaz keep tellin you that your shit's wack
I rip raps, hardcore raps rushin you to the floor mat
Put you in the figure four, break your thorax
Jump off the top turnbuckle and land on your back
til I hear it snap or crackle, the ref says chill black
You get clapped bringin the wrong raps to combat
Like bringin a paint gun to a shoot out with real gats
Y'all niggaz is wack, rappin over microphone feedback
My intelligence begins where yours peaks at
From Fox Boogie in the see-through brasierre, to Nasty Nas here
My nigga Nature'll explain it further if it's not clear"

So I think Canibus would win easily....

To cut the long story short:

Never make Canibus vs someone threads again.

Canibus will win.

Every time.

I wouldn't go that far.

But yeah...Canibus is pretty immortal on the mic...Hahahaha

Canibus would win eventually...
Immortal Technique would most probabally run out of material.

Be a dope battle though.

Canibus is a much stronger mc that Imtec, in fact Immortal Technique doesn't even rank in the top 50 most skillful emcees. Imtec has a good vocabulary and brings strong subject matter but technically speaking his mc skill is decent at best.

i think Bis is a beast of a rapper and can come at you from allot of levels and sometimes immortal technique get's boring at times so i would be interesting to see

From A Reliable source (a KillaBee) Canibus and Immortal Tech are supposedly feuding. I'd doubt if it would ever lead to a battle, but I'd like to see that. Niggas don't like each other for whatever reason.

Canibus is an all around Emcee...he would win, Tech won't win!!!

Remember you guys are speaking of a man who at the age of 17 single handedly battled Wu and was winning until Priest stepped in to up hold the Wu name.

canibus is very technical and has a good skill with words but i just think immortal tech is a bit wittier - and has more power behind his words which in my opinion counts in a battle. just my perspective. i think if it was a written battle canibus would win.

i think 'Bis would win based on his punchlines and his word usage alone. C'mon not every rapper could say he memorized the dictionary.just cuz the dude said it don't make it so. That feat imo is pretty much an impossibility, especially if we're talk Oxford's unabridged.

Canibus turned down a scholarship to Oxford University. I don't think you guys realize how intelligent Canibus is naturally...some people are born Genuises that they become a bit crazy like Canibus in their rhymes. IT reads a book and then raps it to us...kinda boring....Canibus is ill...

Canibus Got LL MAD..

Tech don't want it with Canibus

Tech don't want it with CanibusI'm not saying the dude ain't smart or even a fuckin genius, he raps about some crazy shit and no doubt has an extremely large vocabulary but the entire english language word for word inside his head?? You'd have to be talking like rainman for that shit to be happening. it ain't nothin against the dude himself


In a battle between him an IT, idk it'd depend on the judges, crowd or whatever. IT would have the edge in just raw aggression cuz physically I think Canibus would get smashed on & that has the potential to mean more in person than wittier lines might if he's playin off it right.

Its a battle of raw political aggression vs real lyrical, witty lines, I'm a fan of the latter but I could still see it going either way

BIS seriously destroyed beanie sigel...i mean annihilated him...even took out LL with no problem. He couldnt finish eminem though, have to admit ems retaliation was hilarious..ide call that one a tie.

Um as for the question, BIS would win. TEC has better lyrical content though

Defiitly Bis. I wish Canibus would go back to his battling style of emcee'in as well, thats what created the buzz in the first place. I like all his scientifical complex rhymes too, but id like to hear more shit kicking battling rhymes.

I think Immortal Technique could could only win a battle against someone who works for the government, cause that's pretty much what all his lyrics are about

nah man thats outa line, self presservatioN, family, heritage, wealth, the rap game, I.T. is tha man, dont get me wrong i love canibus, check the vid i made for the general chat broadcast yourselft threadj_sXMQBbiEc but the question (and the whole idea of battling is) who is going to be more witty, more fresh and more powerful with small amounts of words, i believe canibus is good with words but man, IT's words hit home (with me anyways) - and from what i have researched I.T. is more expierienced with battling. bah last im gonna speak on this.

canibus

but i think a lot of you people are forgetting how sick Immortal Technique can get with the punchlines

"Y'all motherfuckers don't bother me none
Like retarded kids throwing ice cubes at the sun"

"you're nothing like diversity without equality
and your crew is full of more faggots than greek mythology
using numerology to count the people i've sent to heaven
produces more digits than 22 divided by 7"

still. rip the jacker

"whenever the head is severed from the human body with a sharp enough weapon
the brain remains conscious for ten seconds
long enough for me to give you one last message
and when you get to hell, you can tell lucipher i said it"

"i'll battle you in the flesh, i'll battle you on the net
i'll battle you on the phone, you can call me collect"

"Thoroughly murderin my enemies
with the same bullet trajectory that killed John Kennedy,
in the back of his cranial cavity,
which is actually what happens to any wack motherfucker who battles me."
