I used to listen to him a long time ago, but eventually got bored and deleted all of his stuff because I got kind of sick of the fact he actually can't string together what he wants to say coherently.
He can put words together that sound decent, but ultimately, most of his stuff is about how smart he is and throwing in random sci-fi references or technobabble to try and back it up, and that isn't really what he ends up achieving. Compare what he's doing to someone like Deltron, who is a technically inferior rapper, but can take a theme and run with it as a concept that grows organically, and extends outwards, and in comparison, what Canibus does seems to be more akin to running in place. Not to mention, the fact he's so desperate to use "intelligent" sounding phrases in his raps means you get a lot of **** like this, which flows but just makes no sense: "Yo, Houston to Earth Watch the ripper crucify you with verse My urethra to ya uvula, quenches your thirst Put your flames out with dry desert dirt where leopards lurk Lock your soul down with an esoteric weapon search" Does he want to make a religious or a biology reference here? How is a leopard relevant to this? What is an "Esoteric" weapon search? "Strap a bomb to one of your labels record clerks And activate it as soon as they get to work Ring the alarm, red alert, nigga it gets worse Bypass security networks with select words Megahertz make nebulas reverse till your head burst" OK, a cryptic reference to passwords I can live with, but that stuff about nebulas is just completely nonsensical. They have nothing to do with megahertz, reversing one wouldn't do ANYTHING for millions if not billions of years even if it did happen, and wouldn't affect anyone on earth, and certainly wouldn't make their head burst. Now admittedly, thats taking things too literally and it doesn't matter too much, but this happens CONSTANTLY in Canibus' music and it ends up just making him look stupid.

"Ambigous" revolves around having multiple possible literal or implicit meanings. What possible meaning can be construed from a verse where the content is "Quench your thirst with my urine, then suddenly somehow without explanation you are on fire and I will put out this unexplained instance of combustion using dirt from a nondescript area containing leopards, and subsequently I will restrain your non-corporeal essence with a weapon search only applicable to people with specialised knowledge"? The only ambiguous part of that nonsensical mishmash of jargon is "Who is required to have the esoteric knowledge during this mysterious spiritual disarming? The person (or deity) doing the searching, or the recipient of this presumably unpleasant, but as mentioned, non-corporeal, interventionist inspection?"
