Capital Punishment: Original Samples

Another collaborative effort between Bmusicsite and This Is Hip Hop. This is another set lost when Bulldog switched blogs a few months back that is getting the “This Is Hip Hop” treatment. Big Pun‘s Capital Punishment was released in the spring of ’98 and was an instant hit with the singles “I’m Not a Player” and “Still Not a Player.” I can say that this joint got mad play during my college days because of Pun’s way with words and the top notch production he received from Juju, Rza, Showbiz, Rockwider, Young Lord, and others. The sample set is another good piece of music as well. My personal favorite is Young Lord‘s take on Michael Jackson‘s “With a Child’s Heart” and how he turns it into a dark banger. Other notables are the O’Jays, Canibus, and Earth Wind and Fire songs. Download and enjoy!!
