"Show Me the Money", let us realize, homies, even the album itself hid for months before coming out: from the day of its release until yesterday, I just didn't understand how where when who and why someone could have listened to it, I don't think it was possible. Suddenly, probably three weeks ago, at the beginning of November 2020, it was released on spotify. It's the album number twelve for Cappadonna, «the Wu-Tang Clan member easier to insult and denigrate by fans». The main news that comes to us from this thirty-minute, nine-cut overall product, is the fact that the beats aren't as bad as they might seem and they're all pretty decent. Not good, not enough to allow producers to be credited: the beatmakers enjoy mixing trap and jazzy boom bap randomly, sometimes even on the same track, adding decent, poor and soulful samples, a slow drum continues to beat in all the record and the rapper allows himself to perform with a slow and effortless style, even coming out with sung hooks. Not at his career best, but not at his worst either: the guests help him drag himself towards the end of this tape, between reggae-sque fillers and a semblance of ballad, I guess, just before the only surprisingly good rhythm, in the final song "Out Of My Mind", with a male soul sample too tight. Overall, there's a little bit of everything here: only bars are missing, and then it would be a complete album.
