Classic..ImO

The words & lyrical paterns used by Pun was  :o.
He killed every rapper he ever featured on a track with.
Including:
Nas
JadaKiss
Raekwon
ect.....Check the resume he killed them all

Naisr himself has been quoted as saying that Pun deserves to be on everyones top 5 ever.
He came out classic in most peoples eyes, off of one lp he was considered amongst the elite.

I know personaly...Pun sit's up there with my all-time favorites, + he helped raise the bar & opened up the market for all latino's to gain respect in hip-hop.

But back to Capital Punishment:
The first 3 track's on this lp alone blow anything away by most artist's out at anytime now...or before.

Classic

I voted for near classic.

I try to make very high standards when labeling an album classic.  This is a great album no doubt.

He should have cut the album shorter and killed some of the skits.

Final rating, 8.5/10

I say it's a classic. "Beware" is one of my favorite songs ever in hip-hop. "The Dream Shatterer" and "You Ain't A Killer" was also sick. Pun was mad talented, as a pure lyricist he was second to none in the rap game... this album is a classic, and by far the best outta the three he's released. IMO
