2.0 out of 5 stars Crappadonna, May 29, 2001

"dusty-beats-insomniac" (your Mom's house) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Ying And The Yang (Audio CD)

With a slim 10 tracks I was hoping to get cracked in the head with some ear-popping Wu-Bangers. Instead, it was more like being ... on. Not even the slang-slinging efforts of Ghostface and Raekwon could save this forgettable Wu-installment. Personally, it's the WORST material from the immediate Wu-Tang camp to date (with U-God's joint coming in mighty close). Two cuts merit the two stars: "Supermodel" and "Love is the Message". Take a guess at why. I'm stretching with the latter cut so you can only imagine just how unappetizing the rest of the menu is. DonnaCappa Goins' style is bearable in doses. I've never really been that enamored with his arbitrary use of words and phrases. In some instances it works but most of the time he's just dropping words that might sound good together. And that voice...all I'm hearing is a grown man teasing fools in the schoolyard with that whiney, wanna-be B-Real type vocalizing. Then he yanks in Jermaine Dupree and Da Brat to ... on the album after he ... on it??? "The Yin and the Yang" is yet another dent in the Wu armour. This album should've come strapped with a ... pamper.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible, January 7, 2002

Mike Terry (STL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Ying And The Yang (Audio CD)

The worst effort the Wu has ever put forth. Cappa has been digressing gradually since his show-stealing verses on Ice Cream and Winter Warz. The Pillage was good, but only because of great production from the RZA, not because of the mc rocking the tracks. The Yin and the Yang is not blessed with that production. It is just Cappadonna making very little sense to radio friendly beats and rapping alongside the likes of Jermaine Dupri and Da Brat. No wonder he wasn't on Iron Flag.

4.0 out of 5 stars 2nd solo album is pretty good, November 10, 2004

G$ "Z-Wad" (B-More, MD) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)

This review is from: The Ying And The Yang (Audio CD)

Don Don Cappachino the Donnamite returns after about 2 and half years to deliver his second solo effort. Though not as good as his classic debut, and slightly below his "Struggle" it has some good songs. There are about 2 songs of the 11 that are definitely skippable and 2 more that are ok, but the other 7 are all tight songs (2 are almost classic material). It starts off maybe stronger than his debut but dwindles halfway through and picks up a little toward the end. Production is decent, mostly by non-Wu related producers. Neonek does 5, Goldfingaz does 2, and Jermaine Dupri, Trumaster, Inspectah Deck and 8-off all do 1. I'd recommend it for his fans or Wu fans but it needs more quality songs. All songs but one feature at least one other rapper.

#1 - 9.5 (f/ 8-Off)
#2 - 9 (f/ Ghostface Killah on the hook)
#3 - 9 (f/ Neonek)
#4 - 8.5 (f/ Killah Priest, Neonek)
#5 - 9.5 (f/ Raekwon)
#6 - 5.5 (f/ Da Brat)
#7 - 5 (f/ Jamie Sommers)
#8 - 9 (f/ Shyheim & Crunch Lo)
#9 - 7.5 (f/ Masta Killa, Royal Fam & Prodigal Sun)
#10 - 4 (f/ Culture)
#11 - 7.5
