Capeech - She's Gone
Artist: Capeech
Producer: Jimi Scratch
Album: Children of the Ghetto
Label: Negro Music
Soft-rock icons Daryl Hall and John Oates may be about as far from “street” as you can get, but that hasn’t stopped them from achieving a surprising level of popularity on the hip-hop scene – according to whosampled.org, they’ve provided the raw material for tracks by everyone from 2 Live Crew to B-Legit to Young Jeezy. On Capeech‘s Booth debut, the up-and-coming rapper and beatsmith Jimi Scratch add their names to the long list of artists and producers to draw inspiration from the late-70’s/early-‘80s icons, flipping the elaborately-coiffured twosome’s She’s Gone into a tuneful tribute to the music that’s helped the T-Dot emcee and countless other Children of the Ghetto transcend the struggle and hardship of inner-city life: “It’s the reason we eat / It’s the reason we’re here / We started with nothing, I made it somewhere.” If the artist’s blend of nostalgia and lyrical grit doesn’t move you, the smooth sax solo on the back end should do the trick. Capeech’s forthcoming full-length isn’t set to drop till this summer, but those digging this thoughtful track can rest assured that we in the Booth will bring you all the latest tunes.

DOPE sample, charismatically laid back rhymes, and an overall enjoyable listen from Capeech. The bridge especially is enjoyable - I urge impatient listeners to hold on until at least the 3 minute mark. I promise you'll be rewarded.
@DjKidd - I doubt someone has hacked your account if you were able to log back in successfully. Look to our ABOUT US section for more info.

This track is a throwback in some ways, and I think that's what gives it its charm. I liked this after hearing the first few seconds of it.

This sample is crazy! It really makes the song. Capeech was alright but that sample overshines him and is all I can think about. Towards the end how the beat changes up was so dope. Wow, Capeech didn't even need to rap and I would of still put this song in rotation.

Fortunately the sample on this is dope, but unfortunately everyone seems to be talking about the sample, not Capeech's rhymes (which, by the way, are decent here). Rappers, always make sure you're the best part of your song.
Ultimately I need to here more Capeech until I can form a truly educated opinion. Until then...

Great point Nathan. The Sample certainly outshines Capeech on this. It's pretty memorable which isn't a bad thing, but you don't wanna fall in that Young Berg Category.

I wish the last part of the instrumental was the whole sample for this track. I wanted to like this alot but I couldn't get into it.
