CAPITAL PUNISHMENT was nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Best Rap Album.
Prepare to be punished. Loud Records presents the newest MC mastermind, Big Pun. The latest spin-off from the Bronx-born Terror Squad (first introduced by Fat Joe), Pun's quick-tongued delivery and witty lyrics have earned him a highly anticipated debut album, CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
Punisher blew up the spot with the street anthem "I'm Not A Player," the remix of which featured R&B singer JOE and helped gain commercial success for the Puerto-Rican rapper. Both versions are featured on CAPITAL PUNISHMENT, in addition to other evidence of the artist's diversity. In addition to Big Pun's skills, the album contains some of the hottest upcoming talent in hip-hop, with MCs like Noreaga and the Wu-Tang's Rebel INS appearing as guests.
Industry Reviews
4 Mics (out of 5) - ...He'll rhyme every possible word in a line because he wants to be twice as nice....CAPITAL PUNISHMENT's all about execution...
The Source (06/01/1998)
4 (out of 5) - ...Big Pun is at his best with all barrels firing bullets lacing the air like embroidery on grandmama's quilt...
Rap Pages (09/01/1998)
Everything abou this Bronx-bred Puerto Rican rapper is generous, his 400-pound girth, his multiple rhyming within each line, and his talent for spewing out verses without stopping for breath... - Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly (07/17/1998)
4 stars out of 5 - ...Displaying huge lyrical prowess and the requisite 'sensitive' side...[the album] established Pun as a serious rival to Biggie Smalls and something of a ladykiller to boot....funk and fun aplenty....Outrageously good.
