Exactly! Finally! someone else who knows!

yeah it didn't hit the same

but i won't lie, i held tight to the songs i liked from the album - Dat nikka shyt, My Turn, Leatherface, Laughing At You, We Don't Care, My dikk, Wrong Ones, 100%, So Hard.... shyt, I liked the whole album.

but you can tell it was put together in a rush

Word! Bruh, I got both Pun albums for my birthday the year they came out. Same here, I had a cd player by the time 2000 rolled around, 98 I still was using my sister's Walkman to listen to albums lol.

Same here

i had air brushed shirt with Pun's face on it that i wore religiously.
Damn, that was yeahhh baby, I used to sing that hook randomly thru the halls :dead:

album is a tough listen because we lost Pun and his health was declining throughout the making of it, but you can tell he was trying to to make a fun album and enjoy the success of Captial Punishment :mjcry:

I hated Yeah Baby so much. Not only did it sound rushed but it felt like he was dying and his health was failing.

That breath control he had on the first album wasn't there. The production and features weren't as good.

Capital Punishment is like a personal classic for me and there's like no skips. Yeah Baby, I won't even go back to it.

Yo! It's crazy you say that because when I first got the album back then, I used to tell everyone that you could hear him breathing mad hard on the songs. I didn't hear him doing that on the first album. But on the second one, it sounded like he was having trouble getting through the verses. That kinda had me shook.

The beats and the features didn't work for me either. There was about 3 tracks I was into on there, that sounded like they could've been on the first album. The rest, I just couldn't bother with. Like you said, I still listen to CP, and haven't gone back to the second album since it dropped.
