Mr. Capone-E
Template:Infobox musical artist 2
Mr. Capone-E is a rapper and producer from the San Gabriel Valley in California. He helped start Hi-Power Entertainment, and he records for the Thump Records. According to his website, he has sold over 500,000 records.[1] Capone-E has collaborated with such hip hop performers as Mr. Criminal, Lil Menace, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, NB Ridaz, Lil Flip, and Nate Dogg.[citation needed] He is most noted for his integration of Motown Sound into the Chicano rap genre, the best known example of which is his rendition of the Rosie & the Originals song "Angel Baby". Although his style is generally considered Chicano rap, his ambiguous ethnicity may have caused him to declaim the genre, preferring to style himself as a "Sureño rapper". [2]
Controversy
T.I.
Mr. Capone-E calls out T.I. on the hit song "I'm a Banger" off Still Connected with Lil' Flip. He states "Hey T.I. you know who the fuck this is. I hear you spoken some words about some people here on the west. Well I ain't even gonna get on that shit, I'm gonna speak on some gangsta shit. King of the South, thats my homeboy Lil' Flip. Yeah we said it, Hi Power, king of the west, the real streets. You know what I'm sayin, yea I see you go through Cloverland and gettin lit up and thats not even Flip tellin me that. We know about that shit, so don't you dare try to pull that shit in L.A. homie!".
Snapper and Mad Glock Records
Mr. Capone-e and Hi-Power Entertainment have recently been in a high profile "beef" with Snapper and Mad Glock records. Many diss tracks have been recorded on both sides. It started when Snapper left Hi-Power Entertainment and started Mad Glock records. He left on good terms and even recorded a song with Mr. Capone-e and Mr. Criminal. Yet, Snapper wanted the the rights to his first album, but was not granted them, resulting in a high profile beef.
