With that album, he became an official member of the Wu-Tang Killa Beez, and from there on out, he frequently appeared on Wu records. In 1996, he played a large role on Ghostface Killah's Ironman.
During 1997, his Wu affiliation continued, as he rapped on the Clan's second album, Wu-Tang Forever.
Cappadonna's solo debut, The Pillage, finally appeared in March 1998. Like any Wu project, the record featured RZA as the executive producer and cameos from a number of other Wu members, including Method Man, U-God, Ghostface Killah, and Raekwon. As the sixth Wu solo project, the album was an instant success upon its release, debuting at number three on the charts.
A sophomore effort, The Yin and the Yang, followed in early 2001. His third and latest album, The Struggle, was released on Code:Red in 2003.
The MC remained active in the following years releasing mix-CDs, doing tours and joining Ghostface Killah’s Theodore Unit. But his official comeback came at the end of 2007 on the Wu-Tang Clan’s fifth studio album 8 Diagrams. Cappa blessed the opening cut with an extraordinary verse and showed up on two other songs.
Cappadonna inked a deal with new indie label Chambermusik Records/Koch in 2008. Old and new fans have been asking for new Cappadonna ever since and on January 27, 2009, their wait will be over with the release of Slang Prostitution.
Milk The Cow
Cappadonna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Park Hill projects chicka POW
One culture return of the track slasher
Double doser Cappadonna broadcaster
Strivin' for perfection the only way I got
My life back was through investin' devotion
Movin' my soul toward the skit vocabulary
Comin' out my ass like shit to feed my babies
Be gettin' me high just like cheese in these tracks
I milk for all my childhood, make me feel good
So I keep on writin' meditatin' in the ghetto
Makin' love waitin' for lost minds to settle
Then I speak out, because we all need the guidance
Deep down inside us where you could define science
My mother told me, when I was so stressed out
"All you gotta do is just put your best out"
And I did it, milky
Milk this cow
Milk this cow
Milk this cow, the best way we know how
Park Hill projects, chicka-POW!
Hold your own nigga, Razor Sharp with the art
Remainin blown nigga, throwin darts at the charts
Danger Zone nigga, Cappadonna
You know the stee' potnah, Wu-Tang death before dishonor - what?
Yo, new Cappadonna is about to exhale kid
Hold all the phone calls, stop all the mail
Cappadonna raise hell, speak and I broke the shells
Seen brothers that fell when I slipped
I had my alibi tight that night, up in the Hill chillin'
Y'all'll get shot, move away things are too hot
Look at my spot now, friends are exiled from close distance
I flow persistence, every time I step up, I rip reps up
Ku Klux, my words swing around like numchucks
This ain't for big bucks, never can quit this rap shit
It feeds my seeds, I can barely breathe
But y'all cats better believe keep off, the darts are soft
While I throw these missiles, at your skin tissue
You can't escape I absorb, gigantic crowds all aboard
Watch out for shitty fraud, my darts slam like doors
Makin it hard for you to get yours, selfish
Milk this cow, the best way we know how
Park Hill projects, chicka-POW!
Park Hill projects, chicka-POW!
Hold your own nigga, Razor Sharp with the art
Remainin blown nigga, throwin darts at the charts
Danger Zone nigga, Cappadonna
You know the stee' potnah, Wu-Tang death before dishonor - what?
Hold your own nigga, Razor Sharp with the art
Remainin blown nigga, throwin darts at the charts
Danger Zone nigga, Cappadonna
You know the stee' potnah, Wu-Tang death before dishonor - what?
Milk this cow, the best way we know how

The swarm continues, Wu-Tang Killer Beez
Cappadonna Cappucino, the Donna-might
Came to treat the earpiece
Y'all better recognize and realize
Hot Nixon, playin' my position, bitch!
The song "Milk The Cow" by Cappadonna is a classic example of the Wu-Tang Clan's unique style of gangsta rap. The lyrics contain a number of references to street culture and life in the ghetto, and they also touch on themes related to artistic creativity and the struggle for self-improvement. The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer is about to embark on a journey of exploration and self-discovery, using the metaphor of milking a cow to describe the process of tapping into his own creative energy. The reference to the Park Hill projects and the "chicka-pow" sound effect in the next line suggests that this journey will take place within the context of a tough, urban environment.
The singer goes on to describe himself as a "Cappadonna broadcaster," someone who is dedicated to perfecting his craft and delivering his message to the masses. He describes the artistic process as a form of devotion, something that requires time and effort but ultimately leads to a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. The reference to the skit and the vocabulary that comes pouring out of him is a clear nod to the importance of language and communication in this process.
Later in the song, the singer describes himself as a fighter, someone who is willing to battle other MCs in order to establish his dominance in the game. He also acknowledges the role that money plays in his art, comparing it to a drug that gets him high. The lines about writing and meditating in the ghetto, as well as the references to lost minds and the need for guidance, speak to the importance of creativity and imagination as tools for self-expression and self-healing.
Overall, "Milk The Cow" is a complex and nuanced song that touches on a wide range of social and cultural themes. It celebrates the power of artistic expression and highlights the struggles and triumphs of life in the ghetto.

Go listen to wu tang-9milli bros in the ghostface fish scale album. The beat was a mesh between mf doom and rza's beats put together. Honestly a hidden gem. Another hidden gem is in the bobby digtal album by rza, the song is called holocaust, seriously another hidden gem.
