So his rival has a similar name than him?? Does this one or the other one have anythign to do with Norega, for NFS Underground 2 and Rivals for PSP the song I need speed it says it is by "Capone Norega"
There is also an African American rapper called Capone, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capone-N-Noreaga. ´ Wathiik 14:21, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
There seems to be a debate over whether Mr. Capone-E is Middle Eastern (Pakistani?). What are the sources for this info? Let's have a discussion about this here rather than reverting each other.-- Rockero 21:25, 8 June 2006 (UTC) http://www.latinrapper.com/featurednews30.html has references to him not being Latino, Mr Capone-E has replied to other beef but chose to not address the Middle Eastern comments. Mr. Capone-E has an Arab real name, he makes a point to not refer to himself as Chicano in interviews, and doesn't dispute references to not being Latino. People only remove the Arab references because they are big fans of his. I'm all for him doing his music, but show me some links in which he says he's Latino and I'll be happy to stop revising the page.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.159.29.213 ( talk • contribs)
Maybe he's both. there was immagration from the middle east to mexico incase some of y'all dont know that? Unknown User 16:59, 12 March 2007 (UTC) Rockero 21:25, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Some dude dropped this link in the article to prove his name is fahd azam:
http://www.ascap.com/ace/search.cfm?requesttimeout=300&mode=results&searchstr=1611076&search_in=c&search_type=exact&search_det=t,s,w,p,b,v&results_pp=20&start=1
Peep the title of the site and then peep the songs attached to this name. This latest revsion finally brought much-needed hard evidence to the Fahd Azam/Pakistani debate. In my opinion the the burden of proof has shifted drastically in light of this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.219.31.253 ( talk) 09:45, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Someone just deleted the whole article and uploaded the press text. Here's the original text:
Early registration for Wikimania 2007 is open. [hide] 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. Contents [hide]

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)
I'm not saying it's not important, but there isn't enough information about the music in the article . SOMEONE DELETED THE DISCOGRAPHY *again*! Wathiik 12:26, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

I have reverted this back to a 4 June version, due to multiple vandalism thats a bit hard to weed out. Apologies if I removed any good edits. Kevin ( talk) 03:41, 12 June 2008 (UTC) i dont know where u got that name but buy the new snapper dvd then ull understand —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.183.58.27 ( talk) 07:01, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
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)
hey just want to add to this that his lyrics go through the turban wars, snapper and TI beefs etc. its common knowledge in rap communities but diehard capone-e fans still refuse to accept that he's not mexican. if you got any LA hip hop head admins on wikipedia hit them up and ask them yourself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.219.31.253 ( talk) 07:15, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
there's a difference between interpretation and outright statements. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.219.31.253 ( talk) 07:23, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
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)
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)
I made a change to where it says "Beef with texas rapper capone" and changed the Texas With California. The original Capone is from San Fernando California and lived in Detroit.Not texas.Get the facts straite. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.9.130.56 ( talk) 22:10, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

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)
Someone keeps changing "... is an American rapper<" into "... Pakastani (wannabee Chicano) rapper." Maybe we should do something about that! Na7shu ( talk) 14:18, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
Someone seems to keep changing "is an American rapper" to "an Chicano rapper" which is definitely grammatically incorrect. One may argue that he is in fact a Chicano rapper despite his non-Chicano ancestry; maybe we should think about looking for a compromise. Maybe "is a Sureño rapper" would be better after all. Na7shu ( talk) 11:08, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
I guess someone changed it again. Na7shu ( talk) 11:09, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
It says now: "Mr. Capone-E[1] is an American rapper. He is Muslim"; but it would be probably better to state "an American rapper of Pakistani descent" or something like that... or does the source really say that he's a Muslim? Wathiik ( talk) 12:44, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Mr Capon E is ethnically Pashtun, as stated in a interview, it states he is Hazara, which is false 82.13.42.157 ( talk) 23:05, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
