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.
Season of da' Vick
Cappadonna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aiyo, Tim and 'em, yeah Tim from Down South
Came to see what ya'll niggas, was talkin' about
So yo, stop all the ego trippin'
Tim put the clip inside the automatic, four-fifth it
The analog rapper start riftin'
Tim maneuvered up closer like Scott Pippen
Two cherry head niggas on the side bitchin'
Three chicks walked across the street switchin'
You heard the crank of a car key in the ignition
Don' came around the block with the deep dish in
This kid ran right in front of my whip, I stop dippin'
Runnin' fast like in a flick, he start slippin'
I ducked down slowly cuz I heard shorts rippin' (bong bong)
Big Tim and 'em from Down South was flippin'
Yo, yo, what the fuck is goin' on?
Season of Da' Vick, season of Da' Vick
The streets is still watching
I'm a off the meat rack nigga, seat back nigga
You know my dog, too, he a heat pack nigga
Heat clap nigga, Wu-Tang Clan get the street back nigga
We came that liquor
Weed, digi and cars we just that particular
Put down ya darts it the extracurricular
Poppy Wardrobe King, I'm thinkin' bout stickin' ya
Wherever ya ho be at, I'mma stick my dick in her
Bust ya guns off if you love how I'm gettin' ya
Bump this shit in ya chromed out vehicular
Me and my force, we gettin' nothin' but redicular
Fuck Beans, none of ya'll niggas can get with us
Yo, I smoke weed, hit broads and like brains
Like guns, like M-1s and nice change
When you see me, respect my jeans, respect my name
Lounge Lo, respect the Lo, respect the bang
See me in the street with the heat, respect my pain
Park Hill cats in the back, respect my gang
And I was brought up to, respect my elders
Respect Miss Martha and respect Miss Felder
A little kid, Mr. Big, respect the gig
Respect my moms and respect my kids
'Cause if you don't, then I got to disrespect ya crib
And have me doin' hect', come and tech ya wig
Now when I touchdown and bust down that dutch to smoke
'Cross the street in the two-seat with platinum spokes
Bandana on my wrists, but I ain't claimin' no set
Got mad sets to lay without goin' for broke
I bust the heat, travel on the bust when I creep
Cop that shit and come down, I'm back on the street
Feelin' the vibe, fuckin' with Lounge, I'll kill for five
And if you'se a bad boy, I'm killin' ya pride
Two in the five, push like eight in ya side
Stuff ya body in the truck and take ya ass for a ride, nigga
Yo, yo, fuck is goin' on?
Season of Da' Vick, season of Da' Vick
Season of Da' Vick, season of Da' Vick
Yeah, muthafucka
The lyrics to Cappadonna's "Season of Da' Vick" paint a vivid picture of a neighborhood fraught with tension and violence. The song opens with Tim from Down South arriving to investigate what the local rappers are talking about, and with the insertion of a clip into his automatic four-fifth, it is clear that he means business. As the analog rapper starts to rap, Tim gets closer, and two cherry-headed niggas on the side start to bitch. Meanwhile, three chicks walk across the street, switchin', adding to the chaos.
Suddenly, a deep dish car appears, and a kid runs out in front of Cappadonna's car, slipping and sliding as he tries to get away. Cappadonna ducks down low in his car, but the situation is tense with Tim and others from Down South flipping out. The rest of the song has Cappadonna rapping about his life, his respect for his elders, and his willingness to use violence if necessary. Overall, the lyrics seem to paint a bleak picture of life in the inner city, where violence and death are never far away.
