Lyrics and Production
Mannibalector is a horrorcore inspired album, which is about a man that’s under pressure from the problems in life and is unable to solve them so he turns into a cannibalistic serial killer. It is an album that’s dark, graphic and disturbing, it doesn’t contain any happy or R&B tracks. That's why the album is different from the one's available today. The lyrics in each song are gruesome and cringe-worthy. Usually rappers do not choose topics like rape and cannibalism but Hung uses them regardless. Hung created mini horror movies through his album and it isn’t for people that don't seem to like violent or gruesome lyrics.

In an interview with Strange Music, Hung said his “lyrical ability was limited because I had to more so tell stories than mostly worry about lyrics”. The album is about an era of his life that’s been ended. With Fearnet, Hung discusses about how the character within the album became this serial killer. Hung said “he's lost and friendless at that point, and like I said a lot of that comes from my own life, when I've let a lot of people go and went my way alone”, adding to that Hung “used Mannibalector to get out some of those feelings” from his past.

Hung worked with Seven “over a year” to produce Mannibalector. Seven said, “Lynch’s mind works differently”, his way of “constructing songs” is different then others. Also that Hung will “have the whole album structure: song titles and everything before we’ve made any of the songs. It’s interesting and different to get to work that way with an artist”. Another aspect that was difficult for Hung was to find features that fit into the storyline. Hung picked Yelawolf and Hopsin as they “fit in with their perspective that they had to follow through on”. Hung never rejected a beat from Seven “because everything just matched”.

“Meat Cleaver” one of the more violent songs from the album, gives the listener a vision on whats to come on the album. The song is about cutting up potential meals, eating brains and going on a killing spree. It would be nothing new to older horror-core or Hung’s fans from previous years but for new listeners it would help them decide if they want to continue listening or not. “I Give Up” is a personal track within the album; Hung talks about the how he’s lost inspiration to rap and artists are in it just for the money. He feels like that this is all pointless and will never make it big. “I Give Up” shows us the personal side of the artist that hasn’t been shown previously.

Brotha Lynch Hung made sure that the Mannibalector album is an excellent finish for his trilogy. Hung managed to keep the lyrics twisted, creepy beats and skits that can make an individual feel uncomfortable.
