| | AMZ - July, 2001 - Cappadonna |
 | | Based on Yin and Yang, the Chinese characters that symbolize nature’s mutually dependent opposites, Cappadonna’s album was meant to discuss “different things...a lot of love, a lot of hate.“ However, there is no real backbone that holds the songs together and the lyrics of the album’s first half often seem like senseless babble. |
 | | In Cappadonna’s sophomore release “The Yin and the Yang,” the Wu-Tang Clan member notes that he is “just coming to represent.” But with nine of the eleven tracks featuring more experienced rappers like Killah Priest, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Da Brat, and Jermaine Dupri, Cappadonna himself is often outdone in nearly every song. |
 | | The end product, therefore, is a weak “solo” album, and is definitely a step down from the first. |
