...Look, I'm not trying to clown you for not understanding Canibus. Many people that have an excellent grasp of the English language will still miss some of his messages and meanings. And this happens because of the reasons I stated before and the fact that he forces "big" words and just uses them for the sake of using them sometimes...

I understand what you tryna say and you definitely made your point. You can say, that Canibus isn't able to deliver his lyrics in a way, so that somebody who listens to them will immediately understand all meanings - but you can also see it in that way (as I do it), that you'll find out other meanings of his lyrics, by listen to them again and again. That's definitely the case in Canibus' music and I think this fact makes his music more interesting, 'cause you'll have to listen to it more than one time, you'll have to think about it and then you'll understand the deep meanings of his tracks. So I think English-born people are able to understand his lyrics, if they're willin' to. But as I said I'm German and so it's good to have to dudes that are able to explain it to you if you don't understand some meanings by yourself.
