Cappadonna - Takes the whole Wu thing to new places. Same kind of loops, same themes but lyrically he really shines and sets himself apart. Some nice samples from cult kung fu flicks as standard.
The Pillage - The whole album is good. I can't find a torrent unfortunately. Great sound great flow. Sometimes I don't know what he's talking about but I'm a grammar school boy from Essex so I suppose that's good in a lot of ways.

Slang Editorial - Terrible video - Concentrate on his rhyming. Nobody else rhymes like that!

After recording this album Cappadonna "intentionally gave up all of his material possessions and walked the streets of Baltimore for 8 months". Then he returned to the rap game and didn't quite match the Pillage. Baltimore is a dangerous place they say. . .
Interesting interview here. Didn't realise sites that looked this bad still existed:
