In a press conference held Thursday (October 2) at Warner Studios for the upcoming release of the Wu-Tang Clan’s A Better Tomorrow album, RZA clarified any misunderstanding of Cappadonna’s affiliation with Wu-Tang Clan.
“Cappadonna is an official member of Wu-Tang Clan,” RZA says in an exclusive interview that premiered in the DX Daily yesterday (October 6). “He’s been an official member of Wu-Tang Clan since 8 Diagrams.”
RZA goes on to say not all members of the New York rap group were present during Wu-Tang Clan’s rise to fame. “In the early days, if you know our history, you know some of us wasn’t here, you know physically present, when this Wu-Tang thing popped off,” RZA says. “Some of us was on iron vacations, as we like to call it.”
Some of Cappadonna’s early collaborations with members from the Wu-Tang include Raekwon’s “Ice Cream” in 1995 and Ghostface Killah’s “Winter Warz” the following year.
“Cappadonna always been a pioneer emcee from our neighborhood,” RZA says, “that had that Wu-Tang spirit in him.”
Cappa-villain stay chillin, take shots of Penicillin, clean out and let the steam out, she fiend to blow out!
nigga, one of my favorite cappa lines right there.
PLO style got thrown out the car, and ran over, by the Method Man Jeep, Divine can’t define my style it’s so deep, like pussy, my low cut stay bushy like a porcupine, I cut backs like a spine…
And he has yet to spit a hotter verse since that verse. “Cut you like a blunt and reconstruct your design, I know u wanna dis me cuz u can read your mind, cuz your weak in the knees like SWV trying to get a title like Wu Killa B”
“Every evening I have a by myself meeting/
thinking to myself “Who’s next to catch a beating?”
Donna has always been an original MC. Impossible to duplicate his style ’cause it’s so random. A lot of rappers claim to be ‘abstract’, but he really is. It’s just basically a collage of random images. Sometimes he rhymes, sometimes he doesn’t. It’s a dope style.
You must be smoking dope. His voice is annoying. His rhymes are mostly boring. Of all of Wu Tang’s members, he stands out the least.
Hes been an official member of Wu-Tang Clan since 8 Diagrams.
WTF?!..That was 7 years ago. RZA didn’t consider him a real WU-Member even though he had helped sell Wu-Tangs second and biggest album Wu-Tanf Forever..
I respect him, but f*ck RZA for that. That’s just dumb.
thats y every track hes on on wu tang forever says featuring cappadonna, get a life u loser
Get a life?..You’re dumb ass. You have poor comprehension.
My point was that he should have made him an official member after that album. That’s Wu-Tangs highest selling album in 1997….But RZA waited until 2007? That is dumb… I’m sure most fans agree with me on that.
most fans would agree that you are an idiot and u clearly dont know about the rza/cappa fued and him getting kicked out of wu tang, he was already an official wu member in 2000 when they released the w cappadonna was listed inside the cd cover as an official member but by the time they released iron flag rza and cappa were beefing and rza kicked him out of the group took all his verses off of the album (can still hear his voice on a hidden track) and even went as far as to have cappa airbrushed out of the iron flag album cover, original picture has cappa, hes lucky rza let him back in years later
Wu-Tang Forever..My fault. I just couldn’t believe I’m reading that sh*t.lol
Cappadonna always been a member he was locked up when it all started tho nigga official in the crew n the streets plus he a better mc than ODB U-GOD RZA and Masta Killa (debatable)
Cappadonna was homeless and broke years after their debut. His solo skills are shit. He never established his own identity, and should be driving a taxi today.
I think his albums are pretty good, especially his first. He’s underrated. He gave Ghostface a lot of his style.
just like you huh? broke and driving a taxi that you live in..
^stfu we all broke man 🙁
lol. his debut album is better than any rappers albums released in the last 5 or 6 years.
his album shits on kendricks too. and when i say shits on it i mean literally shits on it. lol
funny tho that cappadonna was actually driving a taxi in the early 2000’s when he went broke he had to sleep in it when he had no money for a motel room one night. he spoke about it in an interview not long ago out in Arizona where he lives these days
No Drake, no swag. Old ass niggas need to quit.
Drake paid tribute to Wu Tang on his current album dumb ass fan boy. Shows what you know fag.
Also none of the Wu wanted to even release that remix they did because they said Drakes verse was soft & didn’t mesh well with what they were trying to do.
Cappadonna drove me the airport last week, good man. Works for a car service on Victory Blvd.
He also spit a classic verse on Winter Warz.
Which classes verses have you spitted?
Cappa is my uncle and he did not drive a taxi in 2014. He drove a taxi in the 90’s. When you want to talk about my uncle talk facts. He love money and he makes lots of it.
Cappadonna for life. Check The Pillage ya’ll
Cappa decent but nothing special. He is good for 16 bars.
You heard of the rasp before but kept waitin
for the sun of song, I keep dancehalls strong
Beats never worthy of my cause, I prolong
Extravangza, time sits still
No propoganda, be wary of the skill
As I bring forth the music, make love to your eardrum
Dedicated to rap nigga beware of the fearsome
Lebanon Don, Malcolm X beat threat
CD massacre, murder to cassette
I blow the shop up, you ain’t seen nuttin yet
One man ran, tryin to get away from it
Put your bifocal on, watch me a-cometh
into your chamber like Freddy enter dream
Discombumberate your technique and your scheme
Four course applause, like a black dat to dat
You’re stuck on stupid like I’m stuck on the map
Nowhere to go except next show bro
Entertainin motherfuckers can’t stop O
in battlin, you don’t want me to start tattlin
All upon the stage cause y’all snakes keep rattlin
Bitch, you ain’t got nothin on the rich
Every other day my whole dress code switch
So just in case you want to clock me like Sherry
All y’all crab bitches ain’t got to worry
Can’t get a nigga like Don dime a dozen
Even if I’m smoked out I can’t be scoped out
I’m too ill, I represent Park Hill
See my face on the twenty dollar bill
Cash it in, and get ten dollars back
The fat LP with Cappachino on the wax
Pass it in your think, put valve up to twelve
Put all the other LP’s back on the shelf
And smoke a blunt, and dial 9-1-7
1-6-0-4-9-3-11
And you could get long dick hip-hop affection
I damage any MC who step in my direction
I’m Staten Island’s best son fuck what you heard
Niggaz still talkin that shit is absurd
My repotoire, is U.S.S.R.
P.L.O. style got thrown out the car
and ran over, by the Method Man jeep
Divine can’t define my style is so deep
like pussy, my low cut fade stay bushy
like a porcupine, I part backs like a spine
Cut you like a blunt and reconstruct your design
I know you want to diss me, but I can read your mind
Cuz you weak in the knees, like SWV
Tryin to get a title like Wu Killa Bee
Kid change your habit, you know I’m friends with the Abbott
Me and RZA ridin name printed in the tablet
under vets, we paid our debts for mad years
Hibernate the sound, and now we out like beers
and blunt power, born physically power speakin
The truth in the song be the pro-black teachin
-Winter Warz
Now fuck with that
u know how to copy and paste, your awesome
Your an observant fuck, aren’t you?
actually your wrong or whatever lyrics site u copied that from is wrong and due at bottom of page os wrong its ” gut u like a blunt…” not cut
Back in the day I had that whole shit memorized from top to bottom!
Nice! Capp been an official member, but it’s good to hear it. But AINT NOBODY fucking with Killah Priest! Godly!
RZA said since 8 Diagrams…but I’m sure most fans have always considered Cappadonna official since Wu-Tang Forever.
He was official for The W, but left for Iron Flag. Then was back in the crew for 8 Diagrams.
Look…..im from Compton….35yrsold…..real talk cappa is 1 of the nicest niggaz on the mic period….that pillage album is hard as fucc……the song “RUN” IS HARD AS FUC…I STAYED PUMPIN THAT SHIT IN THE BING BAC IN 96\99….AS FAR AS THE WU…..THAT NIGGA IS IN THE TOP 3…..GHOST…..RAE…..AND CAPP…..THESE NIGGAZ BARS ARE FUCCIN RIDICULOUS…..#NWA80SBABY
fuck outta here im from new york an cappas pillage album was straight hot trash it sold what 2 copies? lol only time cap is on point is when he with ghost an rae
It actually went Gold, believe it or not.
Yup, “The Pillage” went gold, as well as his second album “The Yin & The Yang”. And while the latter is a weak effort, the first is a nice album.
‘check 4 a n!gg*’-cappadonna>>>>>>>>>>
cosign whoever said the pillage go harder than a lot of albums released the last 5 years
Cappadonna, in mind, was an official member of Wu since Ghostface’s Iron Man album. The 8 Diagrams album was probably a legal acknowledgement of Capp’s status with Wu.
Milk this cow…..the best way we know how
Movin my soul towards the skit…..vocabulary comin out my ass like shit….2 feed my babies….
Remember this verse: King cappa, only rappa, swim in streams like snapper, spitting flows, doing shows, keeping your hands a clappa, with the beat, move your feet, lay on a bed like a sheet, stay shining, stop the wining, fresh from my head to my feet. This is a classic verse no doubt.
