If we can't all get along, can we at least move along? Not Canibus, who is still referencing verbal scuffles from a bygone decade. Produced entirely by Jedi Mind Tricks' Stoupe, Rip the Jacker is one of Canibus' best albums -- but that's not saying a great deal, given his lack of masterstrokes. What makes Rip the Jacker stand out when compared to the other albums in the MC's discography is the strong production from Stoupe; despite obvious indebtedness to Premier and Kanye West -- not to mention a reliance on an endless flood of golden-age samples -- this is the best set of productions Canibus has had to work with to date. And once again, though the MC can be positively staggering at times, the effect is fleeting. His relentless, grimacing monotone tends to turn into a drone with extended exposure and winds up more tiring than energizing. Even though many of the same factors that plagued his earlier albums bog down this one (and a track title like "Spartibus" is more likely to conjure the vision of a bus full of gladiators than anything else), it's hard to imagine a hip-hop world without him. MCs dealing in scholarly hardcore are becoming an extremely rare breed, and Canibus has retained his membership in that small club. ~ Andy Kellman
Canibus is back in furious form with this hard-hitting release. On "Genabis," the rapper known to his mama as Germaine Williams launches his verbal assault over an eerie gothic soundtrack. "Levitibus" follows with a battery of samples and a surprisingly smooth accordion track. The inventively sampled soundscapes continue throughout the album, with the exotic "M-Sea-Cresy," the reggae-tinged "No Return," and the Mariachi-on-helium "Indibisible." A smart, eclectic album, RIP THE JACKER goes so far as to sample UK trip-hoppers Portishead and roots itself in scientific references and a quest for knowledge. Although he's been serving his country in the military, Canibus has obviously been busy in the studio, as this fierce record reveals.

If You are a canibus fan then you know what to expect,lyrics lyrics and more lyrics.No one can deny the kid can spit but he suffers from the rass kass syndrome ill lyrics subpar beats.Well this time canibus recruited stoop the enemy of mankind from jedi mind tricks. (If you don't have that visions of ghandi pick it up you won't be disappointed!)Unfortunatly stoop dose not bring it like he did on the visions album although i think this is the best production canibus has had on any album thus far.Another downfall is you only get ten tracks.Bottom line if you like canibus,like thought provoking lyrics and don't mind the production you will enjoy this album.I read in the source magazine that canibus joined the U.S. armed forces if this is true then this will be canibus's last album (for a while at least)

 why it matters
This album features a bulk amount of his best lyrics and a diaphragm-straining delivery. Try to spit a whole track with him without losing your breath. Disregarding the visionary, information-saturated, ingenious poetry, Canibus is dying inside from not getting the credit he deserve. This is a 25 mic album, and Stoupe's beats are no less than f****** amazing, because they offer the perfect sound-scape for Canibus' lyrics. You can't even give this a downside-comment. If you do, you have taken the album for granted, and you're just a frustrated listener, yet a weak 'Bis fan. My favorite tracks from this CD: Levitibus, M-Cea-Cresy, Spartibus, No Return, Poet Laureate II, Showtime At The Gallow..Forget that, the whole album is my favorite track. On top of everything, Canibus supposedly spit his accapellas to a metronome, and had all his vocals put onto the beats, and then got to listen to the final product after it's release (during his army enlistment). Easily the illest rapper of all time from a visionary stand-point.
