When Cappadonna posted the cover art for his upcoming album, the longtime Wu-Tang Clan member likely didn’t expect his comment section to be filled with jokes — but that’s exactly what happened.
The New York City native started the new year by announcing his BLACK TARRZANN project and shared the cover featuring himself crouching in front of a tree, along with a bear, lions, an eagle and a deer edited around him.
“COMING SOON :BLACK TARRZANN….FEATURING (KILLER PRIEST ),” he wrote as the caption.
Unfortunately for him, fans quickly flooded the Instagram post and didn’t hold back on their criticism of the design.
One fan wrote, “This album cover ain’t it Cappadocia,” to which Cappadonna responded, “It’s not for you… everything ain’t for everybody especially when those who lack understanding.”
Another said, “I hope you didn’t pay anyone for this cover my man,” with the Wu-Tang rapper hitting back, “What do you care about what kind of underwear I have…look at my cover as my underwear….And if you know where to get some free ones make sure to get you some…happynewyears thankyou.”

Cappadonna also told a fan “Check your own work. Lol” following comparisons to old computer software and a free offer to redo the cover.
“This reminds of album covers done on windows 95′ back in the early 00s,” a user wrote. “Brother Cap if you’d like I’d do a album cover for you for free… Let me know, check my work on my page.”
Other comments included “I’ve never seen a PowerPoint album cover before” and “Son made the cover on PicsArt,” but Cappa continued to not be phased by the feedback.
“I do what I want to do… be free,” he said in a separate comment.
another day another kick at someone on the smallest thing….. people can’t go one day without trolling/criticizing in these days we live in. sad
Everybody’s a comedian online, but the funny part is when they hop off and return to their own life…
You know I love you even though ur mean sometimes
Yo that cover fire. I was laughing at first but I appreciate dude doing something kinda left. It did it’s job which is generate some kind of interest. Now I wanna hear the album, Cappadonna always had my respect as a spitta
That album cover is jokes. Then again so is my imminent divorce with my Kimberley.
Nevertheless I can pursue my hobby of night fishing whilst wearing a bunny suit.
Good night and may jeebers bless you.
Billy danze from mop also had some low level l cover.
He should’ve just went full pen n’ pixel with it.
My man, the lions nose is still full beside yours in the half face attempt. This is bad. I knew something was off when he asked for 5 dollars in that wu tang interview.
Wu-Tang Forever
If his plan was to get his project on blog sites for free, mission accomplished lol Wu Forever
Lol, they must don’t know Wu-Tang will meet you in the parking lot over the smallest amount of disrespect. Ask Mase, he’ll tell you…
Horrible album cover!
THE ALBUM COVER IS ITS OWN ART BUT LETS NOT FORGET HE IS ONE OF THE ILLEST IN THE GROUP!! ALOT OF ENTHUSIASM AT SHOWS, MORE THAN OTHER MEMBERS. RAPPERS THESE DAYS HAVE COOL ALBUM COVERS BUT TRASH SOUNDS!!! WU IS FOREVER!!!
A lot of people don’t know how Cappa was the one out of the entire Wu Tang that took the crown when pit against each other in a freestyle battle.
Rza to Cap: “this is real nice Donna, im gonna put this on the fridge next to your other one”
Cap: smiles
Lol Its funny tho cause If kanye dropped this cover everyone would be calling him a visionary.
Kangay shoulda never came up in subject but dheads woulda said what I said smh
Look….it aint worse than those No Limit and budget No Limit albums from the 2000’s but…I get a feeling Cappa isn’t supposed to be tolerant of the meme crowd…at the same time, you need to sell to the hiphop/meme consumers…which is most of the internet these days…might as fell feed into it…
There is so much kitsch & cringe in this one cover it’s actually amazing. THIS IS ART.
Is that really the album cover? Lmaoooooo!!! Is he fucking with us or what?
Yo, straight up. WU CAN NEVER DO WRONG. CAP is doing what he wants and dont give a fck. How can anybody not respect that? Infrared all inside your Bumbo rasta. MFs who got a problem with anybody from the WU. The Wu was the 90s rap scene. They killed it… I’m 47 and I still listen to that shit evryday!!!
Don’t Judge That “HIPHOP” Book by Its cover…..OG Wu-HOP junkies already know about that Classic Pillage LP, what’s the point of laughing because ask Yourself,”When was the last time either of You Purchased A Physical Copy of any Album, CD, or whatever….Many of you Young Whipper Snappers wasn’t even born when Cassettes, let alone CD’s were’Out….all jokes a aside HIPHOP Family, that execution was “Starter Kit” Level Grphx but It could be An Amazing Album….Young HIPHOP Headz check out that The Pillage LP, Wutang Forever Double LP, Liquid Swords, Iron Man, Meth Tical, OB4CL, Enter The 36 Chambers, Return of the 36 Chambers, Uncontrolled Substance, No Said Date, Killarmy,Shyheim The Rugged Child, Sun of Man…..Peace & HIPHOP Family….!!!
Yo yes I’m 40 and yes my child hood crew I named us killa Beez, I caught a chill reading all those albums.. I was watching that show vikings and the pillage song pop in my head and Run, wu tang clan ain’t nothing to f…. Wit….

Maaaaan I fucking hope so
Dude is a legend in the Wu. Has a classic album under his belt. I wonder how many great albums these clowns have put out??
Honestly I think it’s dope, the album cover is dope as hell. For real those people who are offering free art and stuff for Cappadonna, are just trying to get affiliated with the WU some how. They would eat a dog turd just to wash the man’s car, these folks need to get their priorities right.. and another thing, who cares about the cover of the album it’s the content that is important.
First off, Wu-Tang foreva’, secondly, this is what I expect from young cats who listen to the newer hip hop…..mostly hollow lyrics that ain’t about shiiiit! So what, my man’s cover is a lil’ whack, ya face is a lil’ wack too ?……..but ya know that album gonna be on POINT! Much love Cap, peace!

Diss you rite where you stand…hip hop got tha headbanger without the band.. From the jump the killer bees be the brand…hold up the W if you understand
Gotta keep it digital, thanks CAP.
He’s always been a legend in my book and I bet some mega fun of his offered to do that for him. Unfortunately his inner circle and label didn’t step in me tell him that’s extremely elementary and cpuldve gotten much better work most likely for free if he just asked his fans. I blame his inner circle and label for allowing this to happen. But whoever did this, we don’t know that persons story maybe they never used. Computer before and just wanted to help anyway they could. Who knows right? But if he just mentioned it on Instagram or something he’s get flooded with options to. choose his favorite from.
***please don’t pay attention to my grammar and punctuation in my post, It’s tough typing while riding on the commuter and didnt proofread lol
Could be the person put the cover together is someone who matters to him, who’s decided to give digital media a try, and legend supports that movement enough to show the world. Peace possibilities.
When it comes to albums unfortunately many people do “Judge a book by its cover” when they go to the record store and people might end up thinking it’s a bootleg or even a very rare demo from back in the early 90s or something haha this cover could negatively turn people off from listening to and make his album sales drop and result in not placing in the charts.
You said record store and CD cover you are out of touch with reality.

Even tho Wu tang is from the era Im from. Being reasonable. We are in 2021.He definitely could of did better than that. I agree. Next is to hear it and critique the album
If your album cover cost 80k if people want to talk about how stupid u are for spending 80k on a album cover same way they going say u was cheap for doing it on his computer for free F what the world think
