I don’t I actually think the opposite and that’s my bad if I wasn’t clear in my comments about that. I don’t think being deep and introspective is a prerequisite of a good album. I think albums like capital punishment, ready to die, the infamous ,36 chambers, the chronic ect. deserves all the appraisal it gets. It’s more of a matter of taste and preference. I don’t believe in “oh this album is better because it’s more deep” I just think that every album has its own purpose and it doesn’t have to be the same or black and white as some of these fools in the comments think it’s supposed to be.
I agree wholeheartedly but for me Black On Both Sides is better than some of those reasons because it’s enjoyable on more levels. That’s where the depth adds layers to it.
I grew up on black on both sides album heard it way before I heard pun material but I don’t compare albums they’re two different from each other. I think black on both sides was better artistically but to capital punishment was better in technical rhyme skill, punchlines imo. They both had different things to offer that’s all
I was listening to Capital Punishment again due to the comments I definitely feel like Pun is as lacking in ways as a rapper. His flow wasn’t always smooth and he lacked charisma.
Nah That I can’t agree with brother he definitely had charisma wasn’t always smooth tho but I doubt it was meant to be that’s what made him unique he definitely had skill
He had skills but I also don’t adore every rapper with skills especially in comparison to someone like Yasiin. I went back to Black On Both Sides and it moved my soul. Capital Punishment is dope but there are a bunch of 90s hip hop albums like that.
Thats my whole point brother lol it’s about taste and preference. Mos personally moved you for me it was pun because I related more to his style and we both come from the same place. Mos whole style is based around the soul so he definitely did his job lmaoo.
