Very Sharp Lyrics / Better Than Fat Joe
, February 14, 2002Reviewer:
Robert - See all Robert's reviews 1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this Capital Punishment review helpful Pun was one of my favorites and I was sad when he passed. I used to bump him back in the day when he was on "Firewater". My favorite songs on 'Capitol Punishment' are "Super Lyrical/w Black Thought, "Punish Me" and "Twinz-remake. "Carribean Connection" featured Wyclef's best verse ever, I mean Clef was rippin' like Canibus on that. I like the mexican arrangement of "You Came Up". -

If you can't appreciate Big Punisher's lyrics and style, you simply don't know anything about rap. If he was either Black or White, he probably would have outsold just about everybody in his short existence. His grammar, tongue twisters and analogy are better than any I have EVER heard from anyone. Big Pun is right up there with Big L, Pac, Mos Def, Nas, Busta Rhymes. "Dead in the Middle of Little Italy, little did we know that we riddled to a middle man who didn't do diddely", hell, can nobody touch that. ...

Pro Reviews: Capital Punishment
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Big Punisher's debut album, Capital Punishment, established him as one of the stronger New York natives working hardcore territory toward the end of the '90s. He's a terrific lyricist with microphone technique to spare, and actually rhymes faster than his clear influence, the Notorious B.I.G.. He's also quite versatile, aiming for the dance clubs, the ladies, the hip-hop purists, and the mean streets at varying points on the album, and connecting with all of them pretty well. Similarly, the production -- by a cast of many -- is tough and funky, paced by deep street beats, but remains accessible to audiences outside the hardcore faithful. The close cousins "I'm Not a Player" and "Still Not a Player," the latter Big Pun's breakthrough hit, manage to be cocky and self-deprecating at the same time, and the other widely exposed track, "You Ain't a Killer," is Big Pun at his grittiest. There are numerous guest appearances, the best of which include mentor Fat Joe (on several tracks), the Roots' Black Thought on the MC showcase "Super Lyrical," Prodigy and Inspectah Deck on "Tres Leches (Triboro Trilogy)," and an extra-insane Busta Rhymes on "Parental Discretion." Capital Punishment isn't quite a classic -- for one thing, it's too long, and for another, it doesn't really break much new ground stylistically. But it's very well-executed, and demonstrates just how much talent and potential Big Punisher had. - Steve Huey, All Music Guide |

The first solo Latino rapper to go platinum, Big Punisher was also yet another member of the hip-hop community to fall victim to an early death -- though in his case, it was due to health problems, not violence. In contrast to his large frame, Big Pu...Full Big Punisher Biography
