J. Capri - Love Me
Artist: J. Capri
Producer: Ready Rock Prod.
Album: Face in the Crowd Mixtape
Label: Unsigned
Grinding one’s way up from poverty is never an easy prospect, but children growing up without contact with both parents have an even more formidable strike against them – boys without fathers in particular are more likely to drop out of school, and face a greater risk of having their lives affected by crime, drugs and jail time. On new single, Love Me, Place in the Game emcee J. Capri offers his take on this painful topic; over a heartbroken sample from soul songstress Gloria Scott’s Love Me or Leave Me (courtesy of Ready Rock Prod.), the First in Flight State representative confronts an absentee dad about his decision to leave (“How can you just abandon someone you once called a companion, and leave behind the seeds you done planted?”), before flipping the script and giving the man’s side of the story. As lyrically insightful as its subject matter is tragic, this thought-provoking joint and much more can be found on Capri’s forthcoming street album, Face in the Crowd, scheduled to hit the ‘net for free download sometime in February.

I can't really explain so much, but this wasn't my favorite. Capri has a great approach to the mic and his wordplay was dope. Maybe it was the production that I feel has been overused, but it was just an average track to me. I see potential though, all because of the artist.

That soul based production can been done before, but not every track needs to rewrite the book. The beat's solid and I have to give it up to Capri for some really real lyrics - if only more rappers touched on their lives like this. Props.

I really like the soulful production (yes, we have heard it before) and I really like Capri's approach and lyrical content. However, I am not sold on them together. Peanut butter is good. So is ranch dressing. But that doesn't mean I'd ever mix them. Feel me?

Though I can agree the production is not "excellent" I had to give it a 5 for the subject matter and the lyrical ability

Ok... the only thing i really dont like in this is the production from Ready Rock Productions.... its so boring and really annoying. As for J. Carpi... he did pretty nice on the mic. His flow is pretty nice with a great energy.

I love this record.
The production kinda reminds me of a beat that Pete Rock or 9th Wonder would make. It's really soulful. |
