At least there are good Capadonna verses I could point to, even if I'd never listen to a solo album of him. Whaaat! The first verse in Da Mystery of Chessboxin' is U-God right? (Raw I'ma give it to ya...)That's the shit! His first solo album was crap though. I didn't bother with any other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted December 21, 2018 Moderators Share Posted December 21, 2018 Well. Shit, yeah I gotta give you that verse... I'm not saying he's never good, but I really don't think he's ever done anything as good as Capadonna's verse on Winter Warz for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree that he was a horrible cunt and I'm certainly no supporter of him or his neoconservative base. All I'm saying is that Trump has managed to make Dubya's terms in office look a little bit better in hindsight because the Dotard has so far been even worse by a clear margin.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted December 21, 2018 Moderators Share Posted December 21, 2018 Yeah I'd agree with that assessment and thinks it perfectly fits the thread for that reason. Time has been kind to him and his presidency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cappadonna was just a bit generic. I have just put on Forever for the first time in 15 years though, and fuck me it's not bad! I had this down as really patchy, but it's really pretty consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted December 21, 2018 Moderators Share Posted December 21, 2018 It's good, but I stand by the fact that I don't think I've ever heard a 2 disc album that actually needed to be two discs, and wouldn't have been better off having just been one disc and had half the songs cut.

Pier Six Brawler Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I agree with that, you could justify double albums back in the LP era but in the CD era where you could get 78 minutes on 1 disc, there's no justification at all. Albums are obsolete now, there's no need for them to exist anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best albums are much more than a collection of songs recorded around the same time, and take you on a bigger journey than a song ever could. Edit: pretty much any half decent album in fact the tbh, not just the best albums.

Pier Six Brawler Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Albums came to exist because of the medium of LP records and then CDs (and audio tapes, 8 tracks and various other things in between). It's not like musicians decided to release sets of 10-12 songs lasting a combined 40 minutes or so and the music industry developed something that length to record them onto. Fewer and fewer people are buying entire albums and even fewer people are listening to albums in one go from start to finish to "travel on the journey" planned by the artist.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted December 21, 2018 Moderators Share Posted December 21, 2018 I don't see how any of that either tells me anything I didn't already know or invalidates my point. I'm confused about what point you're trying to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same actually - Ghostbusters came out before I was born so Ghostbusters II was probably the one I had an awareness of first*.  *actually it would have been The Real Ghostbusters cartoon first. I will have watched that well before either film and remember being confused that Egon wasn’t blonde in the film, Ray wasn’t that fat and Slimer wasn’t a main character.

Whilst we're at it Capadonna was always part of the Wu Tang Clan as far as I'm concerned. Absolutely no way. He isn't on 36 Chambers. He isn't on the cover of Wu Tang Forever. He doesn't have any standout verses. No one cares if he's at any of the concerts. Not having that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
