"3 OF THE BIGGEST CHOLOS HAVE NOW RELEASED THEIR ROLLAS FOR THE SUMMER OF 2005. AFTER PICKING UP THIS CD I CAN SAFELY SAY THIS ONE IS THE ONE. WHAT A BOMBA CD. AFTER ALL THIS TIME CAPONE-E STILL HAS THE SAME STREET SHINE AS WHEN HE FIRST DROPPED. IT HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THE MORE YOU LISTEN TO IT THE MORE YOU LIKE IT. THIS CD IS MORE LYRICALLY SLAMMING AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ALL THE SURENOS, G'S, OG'S AND HYNAS. A POWERFUL CD AND A CLEAR WINNER. WELL DONE YOU MAKE US BROWNS PROUD.ORALE."

WTF

"Yeah, this CD should be 0 stars if that was possible. It has nothing to do with his being Pakistani - at least Mr. Capone-E does understand something of the Chicano culture and has an appreciation for it. We are more bothered by people like Gwen Stefani, who have no understanding or appreciation whatsoever for Chicano culture and yet profit of the exploitation of A. chola style (see video for Holla Back Girl) and B. her little Japanese slave girls (sick and twisted). Capone-E's ethnicity is not an issue for us, because he did grow up alongside Mexicans and it makes sense that he would relate mostly to the Chicano culture. THAT being said...



He is HORRIBLE! The Sisters Garcia got this album because it was on sale for like $4 and some of our friends listened to Capone-E so we decided to check it out. His lyrics are unimaginative, cliched, and STUPID. He might have good production on some tracks, and some of the R&B hooks are smooth -- BUT -- he cannot rhyme, and his flow is booooring. Even the skits on this album are WHACK. Capone-E has NO talent whatsoever. He uses the same rhyme scheme in EVERY SONG. The only time he changes his voice is to stretch out syllables so it will even resemble a rhyme.



Examples of some of the lamest rhymes on this pathetic CD:

"Life is haaaaard/ on the boulevaaaaard" (how long can you stretch out ONE SYLLABLE? should tell you your rhyme sucks)

"You wonder why I do the things that I doooo/ Because I love yoooouuu/ And you're always staying truuuue" (again... it shouldnt be that hard!)

"Baby I got you and I taught you to have sex/ When were just little youngsters like 2 birds in a nest" (ARE YOU SERIOUS)

"They got money for wars but can't feed the poor" (UMMMMM sound familiar anyone? if you're gonna bite dont bite from TUPAC goddd)



There are a few barely decent songs on this CD, namely "Street Minded Soldier" and "It Came to Me in a Dream", solely because of the good production. Sadly, even that cannot save poor Mr. Capone-E. Even more disturbing, Capone-E has no positive message to be found, which sometimes redeem a Chicano Rap album that describes the gritty realities of life but has an underlying message of change (like Lil Rob). His tracks "The Pimp in Me" and "Just a Freak" are DISGUSTINGLY misogynistic, and then he tries to turn around and be all suave on "Mi Chiquita" and "I Got You". UGHHHHHHHHHH!!



All The Sisters Garcia can say is, too bad SPM is a child molester because as long as the industry keeps pumping out clones like this fool there will never be room for more innovative artists to come on the scene. Chicano Rap, you are dead to us. R.I.P."

"i guess those 5 stars reviews mean that you like getting the chicano culture pimped by some pakistany dude? I have nothing agiasnt pakistany or middle eastern people but when someone decides to make money out of someone elses culture is really sad when i see chicanos backing up a wanna be. Straight up this is just wanna be stuff he is not a chicano so anything he says basically are a lies im tried of people trying to make money out of our culture and hard work we managed to create. Worst i cant believe people catergorize this as chicano rap"
