Hot damn, the best album I've heard in a long time. Cappadonna's rhymes are usually simple, but they're almost incidental to the music. His style is all about how he lands things and the kind of imagery and atmosphere he builds. He's got the most unpredictable flow and rhyme pattern of probably anyone I've heard but it's really this nightmare world he builds and traps you in that pushes the boundaries of rap creatively. Run especially is just incredible in that way. True Master out-RZAs the RZA on this, but there aren't any weak spots beats-wise or lyrically. Solomon Childs and Ghostface bring in some great guest verses too. I've had the chorus for Milk the Cow stuck in my head for the last week.
Choice cuts: Slang Editorial, Run, Oh Donna
