Canibus has a habit of using covers that look like they were designed by blind kids.

f*** CANIBUS, HES WACK...............yeah, i SAID IT, hes f***ING WACK, and a BITER at that....nxa! >:(
im not checking for this GARBAGE
this came out EARLY LAST YEAR:

that cann-i sih is f***in whack mayn....
but his lyrical abilities i don't doubt.....i wonder what the fcuk he be on when he comes up with concepts for beats....
-
What a pity, Canibus used to ma favourite emcee. :(

Shem I'm sure there are no budgets, infact last time I read up on dude I learnt that he was in the army now!

nah nah fam, THE ARMY THING was IONS ago, dude, checked OUT, its real over there (he couldn't cut it),...soon as he got out he linked up with KEITH and formed the UNDERGODS, even released an ep that didnt do that well despite both their veteran standing in the game...now hes back and guess what hes doing, HES TRYNA DISS EMINEM... AGAIN :-\ this nigga is a FRUIT man, and he REFUSED to spit on a radio station with over 7 million listeners, talking jazz on how "i dont feel like i have to spit no more, i got thousands of bars but i aint gone spit none, im tired" :-\ THEN WHY THEY f*** you still releasing albums & promoting them on radio FOOL...nxa...leme find that clip for youl..wait a bit....!
-
CANIBUS REFUSES to SPIT on INVASION RADIO......and this is AFTER KEITH dropped sumin, i mean you could tell that even KEITH was tired from the shows they apparently had a couple of hours before the interview but he was aware of the cardinal rule of EMCEEING...if you an EMCEE, you and EMCEE until you HANG up your MIC, which is what this FRUIT nicca here should DO:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYUan-SkKBg
i feel so embarased for KEITH that he has to put up with this DRAMA QUEEN bullshit...
CANIBUS IS WACK, and im not one to use that term loosely!
-
WHAT THE f***....Thats one of the baddest(as in dope)covers I've seen in a long time...OMG I hope the music matches its flyness. I dig it when rap guys go all hyper realistic and cinematic...one of the reasons why I dig hip hop...Old school niggaz like me came up on video games and comic books so we're into shit like this. I play games like God Of War and Darksiders and read alot of comic books that are themed around the technology/ spirituality and the apocalypse so I get where he was going with it. Who's the artist his technique is fly as hell.
-
I still like Canibus though he just needs producers who are as bad as his rhymes. Its very rare to find beats for rhymes like his. He's to detailed, hardcore and cinematic. His shit belongs over a score for a video game or a movie. Mic Club was the shit though, that album had beats that almost matched his rhymes on a consistent basis. Hip Hop can be wack to its M.C's though so they eventually fall off out of frustration.
-
bus is wack, just ga**ed and trippin! listen to Keith tryin to justify that shit, shit that nigga is ga**ed and high off some cheeba or somethin'; on live radio?! hayi

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME, reading your post i was hoping to see a sarcastic punchline in there somewhere but now that i see that you are serious i cant help but wonder what kind of covers you must be working on for your own projects...that isht UP there is LAME as f***...we play video games too fam and the cats that created the GOD OF WAR cover would throwup in their mouths over that monstrosity canibish calls a cover :-[

Seriously brehfag?
Shit looks like a blind kid, who is naturally right-handed designed this using his left foot.
We can all see he was trying for some "super-outerspace Canibus, makes no sense but sounds nice" type concept. We can also all see that he failed horribly, kinda like his career.
Like Oints said, we all read comics and play games and thus we all know that that is bullshit.

I'm not arguing with y'all ladies. The Canibus cover really is dope. The art style is tight, its inspired by a favourite comic book artist of mine and a certain video game artist from the 90's. See I know this shit because I really do read comic books, I also draw comic book characters and kick a** at it, I also own a collection of comic books that comic book heads would love to have, plus I really do own copies of God Of War, God Of War II and God Of War Chains Of Olympus(So I can play it where ever I roll). I don't look up the images on Google and end up playing myself by posting concept art instead of the actual cover. I don't even think you guys have an eye for that sought of thing anyway coz, you see Cratos slaying a 3 headed dragon, I see a dope plot (what the picture is saying) but an okay art style(how it looks and feels).
Canibus' shit has a manga/ western style made popular by Bengus, a capcom artist from the 90's and Joe Madureira who just dropped a killer game called Darksiders(notice the fat,square like fingers? - cla**ic Capcom and The exaggerated body parts and pose- typical manga) , but I'm sure you already knew that since you read comic books right?
This is why I'm not arguing with y'all. I'm actually telling you that I LIKE THE COVER AND THAT I, MEANING ME, THINK ITS f***IN SICK. You can't argue a preference people, especially from someone who really studies that kind of shit. You guys clearly do not have an eye for that sought of shit so don't play yourselves by claiming to read comic books. Owning one or two graphic novels doesn't make you an art expert neither ladies, practice does. I do that alot and collect alot, so since I know and understand the time and patience it takes to come up with something as hardcore, sophisticated and thorough as the said cover, you telling me what you think, has as much impact as your opinions on kung fu to a bhudist monk. You don't do it so why listen to a spectators opinion. None of you even stated why you don't like the cover, all you say is how wack it is. Is it the colouring? Is it the textures? Is it the artists style? is it the concept?
"super-outerspace Canibus, makes no sense but sounds nice" - He was actually going for the cyberpunk/ Dune look (see: The Matrix, Blade Runner and er.. Dune) but you Mr. Comic expert already knew that right?
"cats that created the GOD OF WAR cover would throwup in their mouths over that monstrosity canibish calls a cover " - Oints. The name you're looking for is David Jaffe, Cory Barlog who created the game. Or Ready at Dawn Studiosthey developed it. Not the "cats" who created God Of War as you so eloquently put it.
"Shit looks like a blind kid, who is naturally right-handed designed this using his left foot." - Jesus Santiago. Dude do you even draw saying some corny, out of turn shit like that. Its not a masterpiece but it is actually a f***in' dope cover.

As the leading authority on games and comics on AG I find this cover incredibly ugly, this is coming from someone who read everything by rob liefeld :-[

LOL, your masturbating now fam,...feeling yourself, now you telling us of all the games you got...LOL, mayn, imagine if we were all to do that...that COVER IS WACK and no matter how hard you try and justify it, its WACK...lol...
and to be honest, everytime i look at it, i just see a STOLEN concept, perhaps its a matter of "nothing is new under the sun" but i dont buy it:

Ugly is ugly, no matter how you look at it. And no, I don't draw, because I don't have the time since I changed careers.
Having been a designer for quite a few years and having a design degree, I think I know a little about design though. Obviously not as much as you, cos you have a large comic collection.
I actually own all the dune books and if this is an attempt at recreating their art, it is a horrible one indeed.
That in no way comes close to this:
(http://www.vgmuseum.com/scans/md/dune2.jpg)
Then again, what do I know, my 500+ comic and graphic novel collection is probably not as cool as yours and you know about art.
Just remember though, just because you can recognise what he was trying to do, doesn't mean he did a good job at it. It just means it could be a really shitty attempt at being cool.

Whatever you may think of the art (and sorry Gemini, it's balls) Canibus isn't worth shit until he teams up with Stoupe again and makes RTJ2. Until that point, I believe we could all give a f*** about Melatonin Magik.

Its like I said I'm not arguing with y'all. Especially a Rob Leifeld fan. (Type "Rob Liefeld swipes on google please" - the dude has never had an original idea. Young Blood flopped, Extreme crumbled - Remember his Captain America rip off. His only good run was on X-Force in the early 90's) Look you can have your opinion I'm not trying to convince you of anything except that I, the opreative word here being, I as in Gemini aka Gembot. I LIKE THE COVER, I as in Me, I THINK ITS A DOPE COVER. You can say I'm masturbating, and maybe its coz you can't f*** with me on any of those levels, and you can call me all kinds of shit, pull up comparisons of whoever's cover, I as in me, I don't give a flying f***. I LIKE THE COVER! ITS DOPE and dude for some one with 500 hundred plus comics and graphic novels you don't read like you've got 500 plus comics. Why do I say that? I've mentioned oh about a couple of comic book, art related reasons for liking the cover. Trashed your reference with out even calling you names once, cupcake. Now lets tackle some of these responces...
Vanilla Frost Frost BABY!

Gemini aka Gembot...
Hey, thats your opinion, I like the dude and I like the cover even more, it looks as intense as his rhymes. Why are you guys so offended by me liking the cover? I'm one guy out of how many of y'all? Seriously gentlemen, its not that serious.
Jesus Santiago
Ugly is ugly, no matter how you look at it. And no, I don't draw, because I don't have the time since I changed careers.
Seriously buddy?
2.Then again, what do I know, my 500+ comic and graphic novel collection is probably not as cool as yours and you know about art.
Atleast we agree on something. I do know about art, quite a bit actually. Wow you own all the Dune books? Crazy...All of 'em. What else you got thats hot Mr. 500+ Comic books. Give three joints from your collection that you think are hot.
Just so I can get an idea of where you at
Oints
1.and to be honest, everytime i look at it, i just see a STOLEN concept, perhaps its a matter of "nothing is new under the sun" but i dont buy it:
You do know that that image is an old metaphor right? You know the whole, we're all prisoners of our bodies (percieved reality) and if we learn to free our minds and open up our heards and Minds, the 3rd eye, we'll free ourselves from the shackes of percieved reality and the boundries that bind us shtick. You knew that right? Hey if you don't like the cover that much, write a song about it, its just a cover pal. You don't see me posting up pictures trying to convice you to come back to the light do you? I LIKE THE COVER, ME, NOT YOU. You've lost nor gained anything from my personal opinion of an art piece. Its okay buddy, you don't have to be so angry...do you want a hug or something?
3. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME, reading your post i was hoping to see a sarcastic punchline in there somewhere but now that i see that you are serious i cant help but wonder what kind of covers you must be working on for your own projects...that isht UP there is LAME as f***...we play video games too fam and the cats that created the GOD OF WAR cover would throwup in their mouths over that monstrosity canibish calls a cover
Buddy its not that big a deal okay." GASP! Gemini likes the Canibus cover, My god what is wrong with him?" Sue me I like the cover.
Answer me this Why don't you like the cover. Aside from the fact that y'all think its wack, what don't you like about it? Is it the art style? What!!! Stop trying to convince me not to like it. Instead tell me why you don't like it. I told y'all why I like it. Its got a artstyle I like and I've always dug, dark, cosmic themes that chalange the human condition. Plus seriously, I AM NOT ARGUING WITH YOU ABOUT MY PERSONAL TASTES, I LIKE THEM, ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INSPIRED BY THEM AND HONESTLY YOU'D ALSO LEARN FROM THEM IF YOU JUST OPEN YOUR HEARTS AND YOUR MINDS LIKE WHAT THE CANIBUS COVER'S SAYING. Wow Jesus, all the Dune books.....
-
I was just discussing y'alls opininons and adding my two cents. If you feel so strongly about the cover being wack hey thats you man, I like it, I like Canibus and I'm sorry y'all feel the way you do. I'm old school and covers like this speak to niggaz like me. We came up on Jim Lee, Capcom, Berzerk, Uncanny X-Men, Joe Madureira, Wu Tang, Blade Runner, Preditor, The Terminator Flicks, Spawn, Sabretooth f***ing up Wolverine, Gargoyles, Devil May Cry etc. So A cover like that is appealing to a brother like me. Naturally

Seriously buddy?
I like the way you quoted eveything but the part where I say that I used to be a designer and thus know about art probably as much as you and your large comic collection do.
Does it mean you missed my sarcasm or that you think you're smart? I don't know. Some of you kids confuse me.
-
yo this cover seems to be a masterpice to GEMBOT's eyes, so let the man be!
as abstract as it can be claimed tobe, as metaphoric as it is claimed to be, this cover is just plain whack!
color co-ordination is not on. this is too cyber space ih that is str up old skul.
i don't get why the light is shining on his background. i also hate this cover as dude don't seem to grow and come up with new and fresh concepts(he can still be on that cyber bull ish) but make it fresh.

Okay, let's start with the font used.
Even a first year design student will tell you that you don't use a black typeface on a black background, even if you are gonna use a cheesy photoshop drop glow around it. In fact, one should never use the glow feature in photoshop for anything. Ever. (I remember telling child the same thing when he thought he was a designer).
Besides being barely legible, that font is ugly as f*** and doesn't go with any of the other elements.
Secondly, the shattered gla** effect looks like it was done by a total photoshop amateur. I haven't touched my photoshop for anything but doing x-rays in more than a year, but even I could have done that better.
Third, the designer obviously has no clue of the concept of focal points. The chains seem to come out of nowhere and don't connect to anything else in the design.
The purple and red mist doesn't fit in anywhere either. In fact, none of the elements combine with anything else, which makes it look like a piece of shit mess. Like all the elements were combined in using MS Paint.
The canibus logo on his chest looks so out of place, like it was added as an afterthought.
You can tell the person who did this is a design Noob who probably did it all in photoshop and doesn't realise that there is software like Illustrator.
Basically, this is a bigger a piece of shit than this:

with this in mind: (For The Feel.)

or maybe this in mind: (For the Background.

Either way it was good attempt and its a phat cover regardless. Y'all don't like it. Too bad. I agree the font sucks but thats about it. I think you're over analising it. Just take a step back and see. The cover really kicks a**...

ANYONE WHO SEES THAT COVER AND THINKS IT RESEMBLES ANY OF THE OTHER PICS YOU JUST POSTED, IN ANY WAY, SHOULD REALLY GO SEE AN OPTOMETRIST.
Seriously brehfag? Seriously?

By the way I was giving you examples of where the artist might have drawn inspiration from coz I could tell just by looking at the cover that he was inspired by the artist of the 3 pics I posted. the first one in particular. Which was why i kept streesing and keep stressing my no argument policy coz I can see the similarities. If he copied it directly it would be called 'swiping' - the process by which one comic book artist takes a picture from another comic book artist and uses it in his work.
Its generally frowned upon so the artist had to remove himself from their inspired images as much as possible.
examples of swiping:
This one of Roger cruz swiping Joe Madureira around 1994

Despite the differences its actually the exact same picture.
Here's one by swipe master Rob Liefeld around 1990 one of Cable's first appearences and Wolverine in his old costume.

Same difference.
We comic book heads have an eye for this sort of thing so we can always tell no matter how suttle where an artist gets his shit from.

There's a diff between taking somethng and making it your own and taking something and making it horrible.
Let me give you an example your brain can understand.
Imagine a totally talentless kid, who has never drawn anything in his life sees the Cable pic above.
He decides he wants to draw Cable too, so he takes some pencils, or MS paint and starts copying what he sees. He draws his inspiration from the pic, and tries his best to make it look original, but since he has no talent, his drawing looks like someone vomited on the page.
this is what the Cinibus cover looks like.
Understand now?
