Mr. Capone-E
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Mr. Capone-E is a sureno rapper and producer from the Los Angeles, California. He records for the Thump Records and Hi-Power labels.[1] According to his website, he has sold over 500,000 records.[2] Capone-E has collaborated with such hip hop performers as Mr. Criminal, Lil Menace, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, NB Ridaz, Lil Flip, andCher.[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 due to Spanish words and a Hispanic accent in songs, rivals such as Big Capone have publicly released diss tracks bringing his heritage into question saying he is really of Pakistani descent and leaked his real name of Fahad Azam, his real name was always shrouded in secrecy by Hi-Power. Capone and his cohorts even leaked a video that showcased an old picture of Azams's from his pilgrimage to Pakistan.[3] To further add disrepute to himself, Mr Capone-E has chosen to neither confirm nor deny these claims but instead chooses to rather distance himself from the Chicano genre and prefers to style himself as a "Sureño sureno rapper". 
In an interview with Teen Angels magazine, Capone-E
claims to have a criminal record.He is a known male prostitution Kingpin. According to the
Sureño Rap website, he runs his male prostitution ring from the San Gabriel valley.[4]
Besides his criticism of Capone-E's musical abilities,
his rival Capone has also accused him of "not even
[being] Latino". The interviewer then asked, "But in
all fairness, even if he's Middle Eastern, he's still
brown, its still brown on brown violence it can come
to. Is it just that you don't like that he does
Chicano rap?", to which Capone responded, "Nowadays,
you got guys like this dude, dressing like a Mexican
dude. He's pimping our culture, the way I see it. And
then people, you know, think he's a real cholo."[5]
This interview, along with bulletin board and internet
forum posts, have fueled rumors that Capone-E is of
Pakistani descent, a charge he has not denied or
admitted to.

I think we should re-write the original article, focussing not so much on ethnicity but on music and culture instead. 
Wathiik 07:35, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  You can supplement what's already in the article with information on his music, given you provide reputable sources on the web, but his ethnicity is significant and needs to be part of the article.  Any time there's a message board topic about him or a youtube video of his online, some if not most of the discussion and posts from people involve his ethnicity. Seems to be Pakistan and religion to be Islam.The article doesn't need to be rewritten, but if you have content that you can add that can be cited from a notable site (not a blog, etc), go ahead and add some info. 70.149.171.35 16:26, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: June vandalism

message: This section is unsourced, and because we do not keep unsourced controversial information in biographies of living people, I am removing the section. Feel free to replace if sources are added. Kevin (talk) 23:12, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

text: Not in relation to sourcing a controversy section in a bio. The song lyrics are not a reliable source, and cannot be used to verify a controversial issue. Kevin (talk) 08:26, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Controversy section 

message: Please, before adding any information to this article read WP:PROVEIT. This article has had a history of controversial, uncited claims and misinformation. What it needs are references. Claims and lyrics from songs are not reliable citations, nor are the publicity based claims of his friends and enemies. The article also needs citations to back notability per WP:NOTABILITY else the entire article runs the risk of deletion. Mfield (talk) 03:44, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Unsourced additions 

message: The notability of this subject is highly dubious.  I see that reliable sources have been requested for many months now to no avail.  I will be nominating this for deletion very soon if this cannot be resolved.  JBsupreme (talk) 09:10, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Made Changes

message: I removed the claim that Capone-E's real name is Fahad Azam as the one source quoted is of questionable reliability and I could find no other sources to corroborate the claim.  I also removed the line about his high school as it was not clear that it was actually Mr. Capone-E.  If anyone has better sources for this information then we can add it back in. SQGibbon (talk) 07:16, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Mun2 not reliable? That's a media org owned by NBC Universal, and that article is in its "news" section. And the Pakistani claims we can stay away from (even though his name sorta makes it obvious) given that only a rival rapper claims so. Andrewlp1991 (talk) 18:45, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Being owned by NBC does not automatically confer notability -- I'm sure they own all sorts of crap.  I know nothing about the Mun2 website but just glancing at its content does not inspire a lot of confidence in its journalistic integrity.  And that chart specifically looks like something that was just thrown together for the fun of it as opposed to a serious attempt at chronicling the lives of either of those two rappers.  For all we know the information about his name could have been taken from the Wikipedia article (which used this as his name before the Mun2 article).  My feeling is that if this is his real name then there should be another source out there to corroborate that fact, a source that doesn't look quite so sketchy. SQGibbon (talk) 19:32, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually I looked at a version of this article from August 2008, it links to a page from ASCAP showing that his first name in his credits is actually spelled "Fahd". Andrewlp1991 (talk) 18:27, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, that's a much better looking source.  SQGibbon (talk) 20:48, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
