Arguably the best verse ever in hip hop. He wrote this in jail. He spat it to Devine(Rza's older brother) when they were locked up together. When he came home in 95, he laid the verse down and the rest is history. 👐🏾
That's not what he said in his interview a few years back, he said he was sleeping when Rza was making the beat every one recorded their verse woke him up he heard the track n went in hungry
@Anthony Mcken agree. Wu tang and the killah bees were like a group everyone wanted to be a part of. To be an affiliate would mean was like a badge representing skill.
Cap is the true soul of Wutang. His slang, his gear , his flow . He was doing time when 'enter the 36 chambers was released..got out and debuted on "Icecream "
@@jonathansoko5368 that is incorrect. According to Rza Wu manual Cappa is a official member of the original 9 members. he was supposed to have been on the original album but was locked up. According to Wu members Cappa used to beat all the Wu tang members at local rap battles. Dude is a beast.
@@jonathansoko5368 son he is a member. No not according to a label but Wu Tang as a crew is a member. Just like redman. But dont believe me. Listen to their words on this. Wu Tang is huge
This song is off the "Don't be a menace to south central while drinking juice in the hood " soundtrack. Always remember the grandma when they play the song in movie.
Wrong. Cappadonna came out of prison in 95 while Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx was being recorded. Cappa’s first appearance on record was on that album (on “Ice Cream” and “Ice Water”). His next appearance was on Ghostface Killah’s Ironman album (this song is one of the many in which he appeared). Cappa grew up with Method Man, Raekwon, Inspectah Deck, and U-God in the Park Hill (a.k.a. Killa Hills) section of Staten Island, NYC. He would have been one of the original members of the Clan if it wasn’t for the fact that he was incarcerated at the time of the Clan’s debut.
I had Ironman on CD and I can still hear the next part come in after Cap finishes “the truth in the rhyme be the pro black teaching”, then a female starts singing “Wu Tang will survive…” 👐
@@DEEVIL The one verse that always gets mentioned as one of the top verses is RA The Rugged Man's verse on "Uncommon Valor" with Jedi Mind Tricks. In my opinion Canibus IS the greatest rapper.
I remember the first time I heard 97 mentally headed back to NC from NYC on the Jersey Turnpike and right after Slang Editorial but if Ghost is your favorite check him out on Holocaust and Street Opera with his son, Son God
man you young kids will never know how dope this era was. being a teenager in the 90's was the best time of my life. I would have never imagined in a million years that hip hop would end up the way it is now. I remember how dope it was wearing baggy jeans, polo, nautica, tommy hill, jerseys, timberland boots !!! picking up a copy of the source magazine or XXL. Buying CD's. Coming to school with graffiti on your back pack. You would listen to music and be amazed by the talent, back then you really had to spit some dope shit to make it. Now anyone with a computer can put out talentless bullshit.
All these MC's start realizing That Ghost got that shit, that'll keep you vibing The Wu is here to bring, you Shaolin's finest But if your shields are weak, you better step behind us
"I hold the title and here is how much belt was won." I used to listen to this song on loop. "Every other day my whole dress code switch." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 "I damage any MC who step in my direction."
Now u see why us 80’s babies still go so hard for the Wu! I got a Wu tat on my arm, I was raised by the Wu! This Cap verse known as one of the greatest hip hop verses of all time!
That was verbal assault in the 1st degree, Straight fire🔥 Nineties hip hop was extraordinary. I was there and I took it for granted because I thought it would only get better, boy was I wrong🤷🏿
It was a true honor to be born a literal 80s baby. Have my cousin put hip-hop in my ear at age 7 in 87. The mixtapes Cap was going Nuts. Ghost was going Nuts. Chef was going Nuts. Method was going Nuts. Redman became family to WU. And was going Nuts. And all the crews under them. KILLA ARMY, SUN OF MAN, GRAVE DIGGERS, SHABAZZ THE DISCIPLE, CREAM TEAM, BROOKLYN ZU, SHYHIEM, WU SYNICATE, LA THE DARK MAN ETC
We used to draw WU signs and write cappadonna and other wu members lines at the back of our exercise books in high school ... our teachers would see them and give us hell when we submit the book for marking and they find rhymes at the back lol ... good memories... these guys touched alot of people ... Zambia representing
So much nostalgia!! I remember being a 15 year old kid listening to this song for the first time it blew my mind away when I heard Cappadonna verse…. Still blows mom on the way to this day as a 40 year old.
@@jonnykhatru still far better than any mumble rapper, plus nobody can be perfect. What you say is weak maybe just okay to someone else or jus cap not at his best.
This is one of U-God's best verses! "Hear the moans of Al Capone" was and still a fire bar! Usually Deck bats lead off on Clan cuts but U-God takes lead on this Clan classic. He gives RZA lotta props in his verse for crafting this sick beat! I think this may have been Masta Killa's 3rd or 4th verse ever and he goes on a punchline spree, unlike his other darts. His lyrics are super visual like an action flick is being narrated. Then Cap loses his fuggin' mind and shows everyone why the Wu was waiting for him to come, leave his security job and start throwing darts on wax with them. "Staten Island's best, fxxk what you hear!" RZA made sure that was in the Wu show with the character in the jail rec room. Not sure if he was foreshadowing Cap or making sure Cap was getting some rep in the tv show with that crazy boast.
I remember when this was on The Don't Be a Menace soundtrack. I learned this verse asap. Everytime I hear it, I got back to 95. That shit was about 80 bars
Peep Cappadonna's entire debut solo " The Pillage"!! Tht shit is so fire, Rza dishing out super grimey production on it!! Its just super ill and dare I say underrated in some circles
Now you young peep's know why it's hard for us 90's teen's to listen to a lot of the recent rappers, lol...
@Blackpixels- Factz bruh, this ish out here today couldn't touch emcees of the 80s and 90s, that verse was longer than some cats whole songs.
EXACTLY.
....STANDARDS!!
It made me smile when I saw that.
u got kendrick, cole, and Joey bada$$. They up there with 90s rappers. All the other rappers be doing weird and gay stuff.
Cappadonna Slang Editorial is a classic! The whole Pillage album is classic.

cappadonna literally did that beat DIRTYYYY
He did dirty dirty ain't the word fam the human vocabulary ain't got a word for it

Cap just recently said (I think on Talib Kweli's podcast) that him and Divine were not locked up together, so that's not quite accurate.
@Anthony Mcken agree. Wu tang and the killah bees were like a group everyone wanted to be a part of. To be an affiliate would mean was like a badge representing skill.
I gotta disagree, one of his best flows comes from Windpipe.
Canibus on beasts from the east is untouchable.
Cappadonna verse is so crazy you don't realize how bananas ghostface verse was!!!
Let's not overlook masta killa verse either, that was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
"Gut you like a blunt and reconstruct your design!"
I know you want to diss me, but I can read yo mind.
For some reason, I love that you wrote... "CAPPADONNA IS NOT HUMAN!!!" It made me look forward to your reaction that much more!
It's great that the children are finally realizing WuTang is for them!!!!
Ason said it
Wu-Tang is for the children!
Cap is the true soul of Wutang. His slang, his gear , his flow . He was doing time when 'enter the 36 chambers was released..got out and debuted on "Icecream "

It's on the Ghostface Killer Ironman album originally.
They play it during the credits as well.
@@dzcab9371 yes
U-God was nice on this joint too
Masta killa came cold too imo
Niggas be sleepin on U-God!!!
indeed. Which you think is better, this verse or his verse on Impossible?
@Gerald Scott He is on fire on "Heaterz" too
His verse on Triumph is dope too.
Cappadonna the Pillage album so very very underrated. 97 mentality, milk the cow, slang editorial etc etc
Oooohhh Dooonnaaa!!! That was my shit.
milk the cow fav joint ever
Ah, I see you discovered the greatest verse in the history of Rap. Good times, good times.
💯💯💯💯💯
Yeah, very difficult to find a worthy verse to go up against that one.
Black Thought’s 10 minute freestyle is definitely up there. All respect to Cap of course
Cappadonna verse is legendary and easily top 3 verse of all time.
Deck’s “Triumph” opener was more than outstanding to have that title
Capadona had just got home from prison and that was his opportunity to spit For Wu-Tang so he went 🍌’s
I'm 52 and i still know this whole song.. For you young kids Swv was a female group who had a song weak in the knees..
Actually capwas a original member...when he went to prison he was replaced by meth prior to 36 chambers
Every time I’ve been to see wu tang live Cappa has ripped it up

Cappadonna last verse is one of the greatest in history G
6:06 "He's still going!" Yo that killed me. The disbelief in your voice is exactly what happened to all of us
Mobb Deep " Right Back At You " with Ghostface Killah, Raekwon & Big Noyd is fire....
You ain’t lying
I agree
FIRE!!!
I had Ironman on CD and I can still hear the next part come in after Cap finishes “the truth in the rhyme be the pro black teaching”, then a female starts singing “Wu Tang will survive…” 👐
Its a man, but yep, you right lol
Cappadona verse is top ten best of all time! Edit the video for his Verse is dope too..
Oooh that's a topic that doesn't come up often. Top 10 verses. Canibus spazzed on Beasts from the East.
This facts, Cappuccino went off on this one!!!!
@@DEEVIL The one verse that always gets mentioned as one of the top verses is RA The Rugged Man's verse on "Uncommon Valor" with Jedi Mind Tricks. In my opinion Canibus IS the greatest rapper.
97' mentality ft Ghostface is an even crazier verse by Cappadonna frfr
I remember the first time I heard 97 mentally headed back to NC from NYC on the Jersey Turnpike and right after Slang Editorial but if Ghost is your favorite check him out on Holocaust and Street Opera with his son, Son God
Big fucking FACTS!!!!!!!
Cappadonna kill that beat beast line ever!👐
his verse on Iron Maiden is also ridiculous
"My repertoire is USSR, PLO style have you thrown out the car". That's some deep late 80s Russia vs Palestinian Liberation organization type shit!
Rumor is, Cappadonna did it in one take.
Cappa entire first album 🔥🔥🔥🔥
"That alone just made me want to love hip-hop". You're the best dude, you get this shit.
Amen bro - this verse controlled that summer man
Fitness goal: Do a plank for Cappadonna's entire verse
Cappadonna absolutely killed it on this track
Cappadonna killed this track.
I wish they would've let him keep going. He had so much more to spit lol
😂
This verse to me is arguably the best or one of the best verses of all time period. This and AZ's verse on Life's a Bitch
Cappadonna leaves earth on this track!!😱😱😱 Love the content dude!!
Yo, I love to see young’s cats enjoying enjoying the classics. Your reaction was amazing I laughed hard watching this. Well done, man.
This kids head noddin was me when I first heard the song all those years ago as well im 40
Appreciate you man. I was probably your age when these tracks were coming out. Love you bringing us Wu Tang heads down memory lane. Respect
man you young kids will never know how dope this era was. being a teenager in the 90's was the best time of my life. I would have never imagined in a million years that hip hop would end up the way it is now.

Have u done daytona 500 by ghostface is one of the sickest beats In hip hop u gotta do that if u haven't already
The video was sick too...speed racer cartoons from back in the day
All these MC's start realizing
That Ghost got that shit, that'll keep you vibing
The Wu is here to bring, you Shaolin's finest
But if your shields are weak, you better step behind us
Candidate for hardest beat ever !
EPMD used that beat 1st and PMD did it dirty too
If you ain’t going harder than Mass Appeal by Gangstarr, don’t even talk about sickest beats of all time
Agreed. Cappadonna’s verse is definitely top 5 verses all time.
Top 3 easily fam
React to "Milk The Cow" by Cappadonna
Man been telling everyone that album goes! One of my favs
@@ForgedDr3ams sammmme, bought my brother that shit on vinyl 😂
Park-HILL-pro-JECTS chicka-POW!!!!
My favorite track on the album
"I hold the title and here is how much belt was won." I used to listen to this song on loop. "Every other day my whole dress code switch." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 "I damage any MC who step in my direction."
Everybody sleeping on Golden Arms himself U-God on the opening verse.
I swear that opening verse was amazing, so sad that he had a short stint in the wu tang
@@octaviogmenez2839 he stayed getting locked up
U God is a real one .
Now u see why us 80’s babies still go so hard for the Wu! I got a Wu tat on my arm, I was raised by the Wu! This Cap verse known as one of the greatest hip hop verses of all time!
Word! Same here 🙋🏼♂️. Wu Tang forever 👐🏻
Capp's verse on this song has got to be one of the best all around verses of all time. Whenever I hear it, I just can't compare.
That was verbal assault in the 1st degree, Straight fire🔥 Nineties hip hop was extraordinary. I was there and I took it for granted because I thought it would only get better, boy was I wrong🤷🏿
WORD....this new ish is a FRISBEE..
I feel that!
We all did 😂
Same!!😂😂😂
Bro, its been yeeeaaarrrsss but I still remember Caps verse verbatim. Shts crazy because I don't usually remember verses.
That verse is bonkers‼️ One of the best in hip hop history
Also “97 mentality” is Capp at his nicest

They say Cappadonna used to win rap contests. A beast on the low
I swear to God, when this sound dropped I played the into 50 times before I let the song play. Rza is a top tier predator in making beats
I was 16 when this verse came out 25yrs later still top 5 verse of my hiphop life... Broke GFK tape rewinding that verse......
So much nostalgia!! I remember being a 15 year old kid listening to this song for the first time it blew my mind away when I heard Cappadonna verse…. Still blows mom on the way to this day as a 40 year old.
Cappadonna goin nuts on the mic. He's like the 10th wu tang member to me. He's 🔥🔥🔥
His whole album is a Classic but you should react to RUN or Slang Editorial from The Pillage Album 🔥🔥🔥
90s era was so raw so much originality and realness. No mumbles here.
"The truth in the song be the pro-black teachin' " best line ever.
My favourite wu-tang member is constantly changing depending on the song!! they are all Generals!!! Wu-Tang Forever son!!
Cap’s first verse he ever laid was the last verse on “Ice Cream”…
And. It. Was. LEGENDARY.
“ Gut chu like a blunt and reconstruct your design “ Cappadonna is Wu. The radio didn’t wanna play Cappadonna
Bruh this song is Cappadona featuring Wu-Tang Clan lolol
Rza giving 3 minutes to Cappadonna was a genius move,huge success!
That U God verse kills it too. Him and Deck the most under-stated
Cap verse so hard shot a music video for just his verse lol
Cap is one of the most naturally gifted MC's ever.
He is actually insanely inconsistent. This verse is obviously CRAZY, but he has spit so much weak shit it's not even funny
@@jonnykhatru still far better than any mumble rapper, plus nobody can be perfect.

Grandmas line will never be forgotten best line of the movie 90s FOREVER
Rza goes off like that in Sunshower
"gut you like a blunt and reconstruct your design" GODDAMN!
Hommie called him CappaDONDA at the end lol. but nah this is always cool seeing these new reactions to classics bangers, props.
Lol I caught that also. That could be a thing though. Can we get that Cappa meets Kanye Production 🔥
Cappadona went crazy on this 97 mentality he went ham too
I felt the same way the first time I heard Cappadonna!
This was prime Wu Tang…. I remember us saying “who the hell is Cappuccino??” He just shredded everybody
"Oh Donna" Greatest duo rap song in history.
I love this dude, I'm always buggin laughing when he's says cappadonda instead of Cappadonna lol every time on song with him lol
u god verse was fire 🔥 tho that flow and cadence was just smooth
So underrated
AGREED..I’ve been analysing this since it’s release date..I never tire of it💯💯💯
Cappadonna - 97 mentality 🔥🔥 bruh same like winter wars
Check Jeru The Damaja,,,Come Clean
And crooklyn dodgers
I wonder if any current rapper can spit this raw, original, and for this long anymore
I listen to Cappadon verse a 100 times when this shit came out. pure FactZ
Same here! And I still do it.
again! the coldest verse in hip hop history. i can't believe he went for that and got it
I remember when this was on The Don't Be a Menace soundtrack. I learned this verse asap. Everytime I hear it, I got back to 95. That shit was about 80 bars
Ayo...I had to learn that Cap verse fast as possible too 😂😂
Please do Big Pun's John Blaze. My crew has been arguing for damn near 20 years about who had the best verse on that classic
Niggaz killed this song, Raekwon went bananas on this joint!!!
Nas
y'all are sleeping on U-God. what he does on this truck is the true definition of HIP Hop and how its distinguished from "Rap".
Holy shit! Capp’s verse was straight FIRE!!!!
"The autopsy show, it was a Shaolin Blow!"
The way Capp bodied this shit, I liken to how Canibus bodied The Lost Boyz - BEASTS FROM THE EAST
My two favorite verses in hip hop history! Somebody should do a poll Cappa Winter Warz vs Canibus Beast from the East verse.
@@Wormanatti I feel like Bis, has too much bias against him (don't know why) for it to even be a fair vs 😔
The first time I heard the song I lost my shit!! Everybody spazzed on this track by cappadonna took it to a whole nother level!!
U God verse was no joke either. U God got some of the best verses ever spit in rap.
"check it: slick majestic, broke mics are left infected"
Dam! Cappadonna Shang Tsunged this beat! Took the soul right out! The Wu!
I never realised how good Cappadona verse was
Wu-Tang forever!! I just turned 54 this year so I’ve been listening to them since I was a teenager in the very beginning‘s they come hard!!
my homie and I would have a thing where if a rapper kills a verse with a LONG verse we would say "He Cappadonna'd that shit" lol
CAPPADONNA !!! He killed it!
I can’t hear the intro without thinking of grandma riding her 64
This is one of the tracks that put hip-hop on my agenda when I was a kid.
Grew up on 90s hip hop my highschool years Brooklyn.. I was just a Italian kid taken over by hiphop! A head til I die 💯
You wanna hear an equivalent dope verse from Ghostface? react to Wu-tang - Impossible
Rza, Ghost & U God All ripped Impossible, another one Ghost torched was on Gza's album Investigative Reports.
Da Don Gotta. You listening to some deep music. You and yours pray for mine to open there ears, hearts and minds. Respect Bruh.
Peep Cappadonna's entire debut solo " The Pillage"!! Tht shit is so fire, Rza dishing out super grimey production on it!! Its just super ill and dare I say underrated in some circles
THANK YOU FOR GETTING ON WU!!! SOOO MANY MISSED THEM IN THE GOORY DAYS.
NEXT GZS LIQUID SWORDS! AND KILLA BEES THE SWARM!
