A Child on Wax, Backed By Great Beats & a Talkbox?? - I had heard a track or two of Mr. Capone-e s music before & I thought he had a little something. I also own the Zapp VI album & felt were Terry (Zapp) was going, so I wanted to see how he had evolved. Now I m a huge Zapp & Roger fan and a fan of Chicano & Gangsta Rap, so naturally this is suppose to be the best of both worlds... how wrong I was. Mr. Capone-e has no lyrical talent. His timing is off & his subject matter is that of a 15-year-old boy who thinks he s all gangsta & hard. He definitely puts a bad label on Mexicans, Chicanos, Latinos, & Hispanics all-together. I know he s probably done more & worse dirt than me, but he shouldn t be on the mic!!!!!!a greater union of a Chicano & Zapp can be heard on the track: SPECIAL by BROWN BOY. The only time I felt myself liking songs is when Terry came on them. He has great potential, but I can t figure out why he would agree to this. Times get tough, but you just gotta HOLD ON & keep ya head up! I hope to see more of Zapp, but I will never do another stupid act such as buying both CDs at once. Keep it real: A waste of time & money.
Capone-e and zapp came up - This cd is truly old school and gots the beats you can mob to. This is by far one of Capon-e s best albums zapp and capon-e are a great team and I cant wait for vol. 2.
Zapp and Capone-e on the dance floor... - I was a bit skeptical about how a whole album Mr.Capone-e and Zapp would sound. It seemed like too stark of a contrast, Chicano gangster and the classic funk of Zapp Troutman. However, the result is a great album. This is Capone-e s album, but it wouldn t have sounded nearly as good without Zapp s contribution. Almost all of the beats are new. The song Hatevine uses the beat from Zapp & Roger s version of Grapevine, also the song I m a player uses the beat from slow & easy . I like the the beats on Beware of my crew and Lowrider the most. Capone-e s style is flawless as always. He flips spanish & english perfectly and crosses genres several times during the album. Zapp s talkbox is the chorus in many songs and Capone-e always picks up where zapp leaves off. Both artists sound well together in each song, neither one really stands out in many songs.I rate this album 5 out 5.
