Much Better Than Yin and Yang!.......2006-03-11

Good comeback for Cappadonna with some bangin trax! You never can be sure which rapper is ReAL but Cappadonna is one of those whose vibe suggests most of what he says he has lived or been exposed to on a daily basis at one point. The shadows of Wu-tang still grows gems. Dont be the one that slept!

Livin The Stuggle.......2005-01-05

The Struggle is way better than Cappa's second album, The Yin & The Yang (his worst to date), but not better than his debut, The Pillage (his best to date). It is released on Code:Red Entertainment, which is Wu-affiliate Remedy's label, due to the fact that Cappadonna and RZA had a falling out because of a misunderstanding over Cappadonna's Yin & Yang album and some money issues. (RZA and U-God had a similar problem in 2004. U-God though, was signed to RZA's Wu-Tang Records distributed by Priority Records and Cappa was signed to RZA and his brother Divine's Razor-Sharp Records distributed by Epic Records. Both labels shut down in 2001 and then RZA launched 36 Records through LOUD Records, which also shut down due to the fact that LOUD went out of business. Currently, RZA is head of WU Records, distributed by independent label Sanctuary Records.) Even though Cappa was at odds with RZA and Wu-Tang Productions, he stayed in contact with a few Wu-Tangers like Raekwon and Inspectah Deck, who both contributed to The Struggle. Other guest include Longer Lo (Cappa's little brother), Solomon Child (who debuted on Cappa's The Pillage under tha name Killa Bamz) and Code:Red Entertainment label head, Jewish MC Remedy. At this point, Cappa was living The Struggle, as reports state that he was in the hood driving cabs for a living. Cappa is currently doing much better these days as he was invited by Ghostface to join his Theodore Unit (See Theodore Unit), and joined Ghost and the rest of Wu-Tang on their reunion tour this past summer in California, which was the last time fans got to see O.D.B. perform. (R.I.P.). Cappa and RZA apperently resolved their problems as they shared the stage shoulder to shoulder. (See Wu-Tang's Disciples Of The 36 Chambers DVD and CD).

Strong Cappa performance.......2004-11-11

Cappadonna returns independently for his third album. Better than "Yin & Yang' but not as good as his classic "The Pillage". Has a few Wu mates on here as well as a few Wu affiliates and a few of the "718" crew. Production is hot on most of the songs Calogero does 5, Soul Fingaz, Quasi, Remedy all do 2, 4th Disciple, DA, Big Nizza, and Charlie M all do 1. As always, he spits lyrics that are good and somewhat awkward in delivery at times. Has a few classic tracks and about 2 that are skippable, the rest are good or at least listenable. Has 21 total "songs" (a few are freestyles - after number 21 there are 3 bonus tracks). Most of the songs are on the short side. A must have for fans.

#2 - 8.5 (great beat)
#3 - 8 (f/ Solomon Childs)
#4 - 9 (f/ Lounge Mode - great beat)
#6 - 7.5 (dedication to ma dukes)
#7 - 5.5
#8 - 10 (classic w/ a great beat - f/ Inspectah deck)
#9 - 8.5 (f/ Remedy, Crunch, Lounge Mode - disses RocAFella)
#10 - 6.5
#12 - 8 (f/ Lounge mode)
#13 - 8.5 (f/ Raekwon)
#14 - 10 (great beat - short song)
#15 - 8 (f/ Lounge Mode, Shawn Wiggs, Solomon Childs)
#16 - 6 (about lesbo's)
#17- 7.5 (f/ Lounge Mode & Solomon Childs)
#18 - 8 (funny acapella freestyle)
#19 - 8 (talkin' about what his kind of girl is like)
#20 - 9 (great beat - f/ Pike, Remedy, & Lounge Mode)
#21 - 9 (f/ King Just)
#21 (first bonus track) - acapella freestyle
#21 (2nd bonus track) - 7.5 (about trifelin' girls)
#21 (3rd bonus track) - 7

donna kills it on this one.......2003-12-06

For all of you that thought cap was done after he put out the yin and yang album(which was pretty much garbage) he proves all of you wrong. The struggle is bangin from start to finish even the bonus tracks are nice. Most of the cd is produced by cap and remedy. They both have close ties to the wu-tang clan, but there is no rza production. Inspecta Deck and Reakwon are featured on the album which makes for a nice addition to the record. If you liked cappadonna on the pillage or his work with the wu you will fully enjoy this album
