As well known for his contentious battle raps as he is for his raw, angry delivery, Canibus stayed true to form on his 2005 release Hip-Hop for Sale. Actually, there are fewer overt attempts to take down other artists here, but Canibus' visceral attack on the mic is as heavy as ever, and the tracks -- produced by Nottz -- match the rapper's style with their muscular, midtempo stomp. This is a solid, hard-hitting effort that should please fans of East Coast hardcore rap.
