After last year’s The Pilgrimage, Wu-Tang Clan’s Cappadonna is looking forward to releasing Eyrth, Wynd & Fyre.
Speaking with AllHipHop.com, Cappa explained what fans can expect from the project.
“I believe this one right here, I leaned back a little on it. I just got more into the message and the music man, and just tried to focus on that a little more – production by J. Glaze. I kind of was just really free in the mind when I did this CD right here – Eyrth, Wynd & Fyre – those are elements right there. That fire’a that truth, and that wind, that’s the substance, and the Earth is the strength that keeps me grounded. So these elements right here exist within my style and life, what I had to go through, so I got that and I got the other double CD with DJ Snips and J-Ronin and of those producers, good looking out for J-Ronin on A&R’ing the project. But yeah, things is right, man.”
Cappa, who has had a storied career with the Wu, also revealed his own favorite verse.
“‘Ice Water’ is definitely one of my favorite verses, but I like the verse on ‘Camay,’ I like ‘Winter Warz,’ I like ‘Triumph,’ so it’s probably a collaboration of a bunch of different verses, but the one that everybody loves the most is and caused me to love the most is ‘Winter Warz.’

97 Mentality is my fav from him
Cappa killed a lot of verses, but he came off weak on Wu-Block. How you gon’ do that Cap when it was probably the highest profile project you’ve been in years?
It wasn’t his project and he knew it. Not much you can do with a few lines.
I’ve always thought his verses on “Iron Maiden”, “The Pillage”, “Heaterz” and “Daytona 500” were out of this world; just as impressive as “Winter Warz” for me. He has had some truly remarkable guest spots over the years.
“97 Mentality”
“Check For A Nigg*”
I don’t know about “Heaterz”, Deck killed that track.
I dont know guys, my favorite verse of his was “lil ghetto boys” from Forever
The Pilgrimage has never left rotation, I keep it spinning
To me his best verse ever was on a song he and U-God did on the “Great White Hype” soundtrack called “If it’s Alright With You”. Shit was ridiculous. He’s always been an original and dope MC. And I’m not the type of nigga to care about the next man’s clothes, but his gear game surpasses any rapper ever, that nigga’s catalog is flagrant.
Favorite verse lmao that whole album is garbage
so you like Cappadonna
the guy LOVES cappa
Jesus, Fuck Cappadonna & His Family:, let us get a word. We all like him too you know. Your such a fucking stan.
cappadonna was the tony yayo of his crew smh this nigga ruined tracks like triumph and 90% of everythin he was on…the ONLY verses he was DECENT on was ice water and winter warz…i would NEVER pick up an listen to a whole cappadonna album,fuck that
So true lol
Cant be a complete comparison because yayo was an official G-Unit while Cappa was never an official Wu.
“Ice Water” and “Winter Warz” were just decent to you? SMH
