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."
