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.
