-
His impressively relentless battle raps offer a barrage of metaphorical violence delivered with a vehement rat-a-tat-tat.
-
The production is disappointingly uneven... The lack of song structure is also problematic, but Canibus invests his rhymes with such dark humor, vivid imagery, and controlled passion that his lack of thematic ambition is forgivable.
-
The big difference this time out is that the beats are as aggressive as Canibus' lyrics...
-
Although clearly Canibus is undoubtedly one of the best freestyling lyricists of his generation, he's still to find the right production team to match his vocabulary.
-
SelectToo often the combination of [the producers'] stiff mixing desks and Canibus' relentless vocals is akin to being harangued by a particularly loquacious madman. [Sep 2000, p.114]
-
His authoritative vocals demand immediate attention and his brutal array of battle rhymes are utterly breathtaking.... While the pugilistic MC shows growth as an artist, Canibus' vast potential remains largely unrealized thanks to bland production.
-
Long-vowelled and nasal - Redman without the charisma - and with a tasty line in mortuary slab terminology, he's never knowingly caught short of a rhyme.
-
It's ironic that for all of his intelligence, passion and obvious talent, Canibus chose to stoop to the caveman mentality so apparent on this release.
-
Any hopes of redemption are dashed by the same bland production that plagued his first release.
