IMO, he's the 10th member. He's not essential because he's not a founding member but he's just as great and should be treated like a full member.
I'd go as far as saying he's one of the top 5 members lyrically and in terms of albums

Yeah at this point he’s 10th member. Always on tour with them and not listed as feature on Clan albums. I’m not putting him top 5 but everyone has different lists. Peace
After Forever (where he was a feature), he was a considered a general. No way he's just a Killa Bee
He was removed from Iron Flag, so I'm guessing he wasn't technically Wu/Clan at that point, but then hes back since 8 Diagrams.
Its interesting that he got the position over Priest, Streetlife, Sin, 60 Sec etc.
"In terms of albums." Must not have listened to anything after Pillage. Pilgrimage is actually pretty damn good..
Cappadonna ran with main members before they were Wu Tang. Killah Priest was GZA's guy and he fell out with RZA very early on. Streetlife is purely Meth's guy. Cappadonna was probably the natural fit for "Forever" because of his contribution to "Iron Man". He's been credited as basically helping a few members develop as lyricists, especially Ghostface.Originally Posted by ShaDynasty

I know all that, except what happened with Priest & RZA?
Wasn't that a money issue? Priest was charged a large sum for the small Wu symbol on the Heavy Mental cover. I remember he wasn't too happy about that. A lot of this was covered on here even I think back in 05 or something.
Cappa also had a falling out if I recall correctly around Iron Flag. If I am not mistaken, this was also to do with his manager being a fed or something else. That was why he was erased from the album. He ended up driving cabs after this.

10th member
He's on ABT booklet, he's on all tour dates. He's a member.
A wise man knows his limitations.

He's obviously a 10th member but I'm opposed to the elevation. I understand how vital he was to the foundation, but, to that degree, I'd rather Lounger got the spot despite him probably contributing less. Cappa had a collection of verses he'd been working on his whole life that he probably burned through OB4CL-Pillage and everything after has been largely forgettable.
Its kinda fucked up the group never acknowledged Cappa as the 10th member officially. Just think for a minute what Ironman and Forever would be like without Cappadonna?
N.I.
Wasn't he acknowledged as an official 10th member on 8 Diagrams? Yeah, here.
https://hiphopdx.com/news/id.30967/t...n-wu-tang-clan“Cappadonna is an official member of Wu*-Tang Clan,” RZA says in an exclusive interview that premiered in the DX Daily yesterday (October 6). “He’s been an official member of Wu-Tang Clan since 8 Diagrams.”
Wu-Tang: failing the internet tubes since 1997
I had an issue of The Source 20+ years ago (about the time that the movie Hannibal was released) which did a feature interview with Cappadonna and he was acknowledged as the official 10th member of the clan back then and on The W he is no longer mentioned as a feature artist like he was on Forever
