This would probably be in my top 5 albums of all time, shyt is that good to me.

Classic album hands down and sum of the greatest displays of lyricism ever

"Ain't no tellin when the bullet's behind the trigger, I do it to live n!ggas, to Pulitzer Prize winners...". Great, great album. But you cannot defend that trash that was Yeaah Baby!

wish they had sample clearance for the dream shaterer..
yeha the album was all over the place and had its tough tracks then some fillers..Loud records knew they had a good one with Pun. At least we still got Pun blessing the don carta and TS comp albums.

One of the first albums I copped, still gets play to this day, classic album, "Beware" was crazy dope.

This joint right here as well, RZA on the beat, and prime Prodigy and Deck on the feature.



For some reason I never even bothered to check Yeaah Baby though, is it worth it?

Dont bother with Yeaah baby, get endangered species instead

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

yeah baby has some dope joints on there. Leatherface is a fukkin banger!

Capitol Punishment - 5 MICS
Yeah Baby - 3.5 MICS

But "Yeah Baby" is like Pun's "Born Again". It wasn't done and became cut and paste near the end. According to rumors he completed 50-60% of the album before his death. So he had imput but not as much. But like I said, let's not act like Pun wasn't spitting on "Yeah Baby" cause he was. "Capitol Punishment" is just a more well rounded LP from beginning to end:

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

Pun wanted his boys to get their shyt on and he would guide them and contribute. Yeaah Baby was like the introduction of his proteges..keith nut, remi and few others.

Everybody say Eminem is the God of lyrical-tongue-twisting rhymes
Punisher was that pana

Now face the serpent, I blaze your person you get laced for certain
Even Jakes don't trace the work so close the case to curtains
I'm hurtin, head severely really tryin to bring the pain
There's nuttin mo' satisfyin than when you cryin screamin my name
It's not a game, it's Purple Rain, floods and bloodstains
Big Pun's my thug's name, bustin my guns, that's my love thang
I split the jug' vein and snatch your Adam's Apple
John Madden tackle your corpse
then hoist it on the cross at the tabernacle

 

[Mike Ock]

Yeah Baby was ok, thats when you really started hearing dudes problems breathing which made his delivery kinda off. It does have some good and lighter beats as opposed to CP. But CP is just dope all around. Pun came out of nowhere and represented perfectly for latinos. Every verse on the album, you can tell Pun was serious with it.
