Canibus does provide the lyrical warfare that he is renowned for, but shows diversity in the types of subjects and even the type of sounds that he adopts. "Get Retarded" is a great example of this, as there is an ill Hawaiian type guitar combined with a hook incorporating a scratched sample. Pure dopeness, and complemented by the lyrical wizardry, it will have your head nodding in no time. This approach works here, but on "Rip Rock", combining metal and hip hop, it just isn't the type of sound that heads will (or can) appreciate. The lyrics throughout the album are on point, but like Ras Kass's (the cat who recognized Canibus' abilities, resulting in their appearance on the "Rhyme & Reason OST") debut, the production is lacking in other songs.

The Refugee Camp take care of the production on almost all of the tracks, but don't quite give Canibus the sound that he needs. Some of the songs sound lacklustre, such as "What's Going On", despite being a relevant question about people bringing grief in clubs and shows. I wonder, having thanked DJ Premier in the album notes, why didn't he ask him for a track or two? I'm sure the combination would have been staggering. Can you imagine the rawness of the lyrics and the track? Oh well, maybe next album...

There are good tracks here, though, like "I Honor U", describing how he was born in his mother's womb. The imagery overcame the sugary R&B singing, and it works well. "How We Roll", another of Canibus' battle songs is here, and the "Vapors"-inspired "Hype-nitis" is decent. "Channel Zero" is in a similar vein to "How Come", detailing years of government cover-ups incorporating futuristic ideas. The hype "Patriots" introduces the idea of the Navy Seals, the new group formed by Canibus and Wyclef, although Clef is absent here, that does not detract from the track in any way. Another good lyrical attack is on "Buckingham Palace" but I wasn't really feeling the beats on that. "Niggonometry" details life for those in the streets and educates people on what is going on when you get a deal. There is a good use of scratches on the hook, which was great.
