The Chef can rest easy knowing that “Only Built…” is one of the best rap albums ever made, and as a result his weed owner status will never be revoked. Ghostface was on almost every song, but obviously wasn’t holding for Rae. That position was filled by a guy by the name of Cappadonna, who could often be seen carrying a baseball bat filled with dank. He was so busy holding huge stashes for the two from the Wu that he neglected to develop things like timing and breath control when it was his time to shine in the booth.
It wasn’t until his outstanding appearence on “Winter Warz” that Cappadonna actually made an impression, and combined with his dope “’97 Mentality” 12″, dude actually had a nice buzz for his solo debut. Sadly, RZA’s weed carriers handled the production and Cappa was less than inspiring on the mic, making for a boring-as-fuck release that even the most devoted Killer Bee fan would struggle to sit through.
Remarkably, Cappadonna has proved to be quite resillient, and released two more solos albums following The Pillage before he was ousted from the Wu when it was discovered that his cracka-ass manager was a police stoolie. Proving that he’s got a heart the size of a whale, Ghostface was able to forgive Cap’s mistakes and allowed him to resume his weed carrying duties as a member of Tony’s Theodore Unit.
Raekwon has meanwhile gone through a couple of weed holding squads, as during the highly unpopular Immobilarity chamber, he had some guys called American Cream Team looking after the hydro. The release of The Lex Diamonds Story saw his weed carriers renamed Ice Water, although it’s most likely the same guys as the Cream Team (I really haven’t paid them enough attention to confirm this though). By the way, “Smith Bros.” and “Missing Watch” are fucking great songs if you missed the last album.
Next up: Ghostface.
