These albums need more information. I can't find for the life of me ifHook Off is a mixtape or sidegroup project considering its' feature-heavy tracklist with 20 people on the cover, and P2 seems to be a MP3-only digital release with no physical hard copies (not to mention rushed and slept on with no Wu-Element production as promised in 2013).Wufan10304 (talk)22:14, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The rummor of him being an offical member keeps finding its way on this page, and it has only ONE source to back it up (I should mention that this isn't even a reliable source.) If Cappadonna was offically a member right before8 Diagrams, don't you think he would at least be on the album's cover? If he were an official member, don't you think this would be mentioned on theirofficial wbsite? Speaking of their offical website, on thebio section he's categorized in the "WU-TANG FAMILY SOLO ARTISTS" section. Take a look at hispersonal bio on Wu's offical website, it mentions that he made a comeback on8 Diagrams, but there's no mention of him being an offical member.--76.17.200.34 (talk)01:31, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not exactly sure ifRemix Magazine meets the criteria of a reliable source. A better source would be nice but Remix does have a page so that's a start. While Cappadonna is not on the cover of 8 Diagrams, he is not listed separately as a featured artist either even though he performs on it. It is possible that he is not on the cover to keep the reference toEight-Diagram Pole Fighter or the artwork was already done when Cappadonna was re-made a member. He was on the back cover ofThe W (again not listed separately) and edited out of the cover ofIron Flag so it is possible that he is now a member. OnFishscale, he is on the song "9 Milli Bros" which is listed as "featuring Wu-Tang Clan"; again he is not listed separately. As far as the official website, the listing says "The Original 9", which includes ODB (he's not exactly a member anymore) so Cappadonna wouldn't be listed there. All the members are listed as solo artists as well. And it is possible that the site just hasn't been updated in a while.MrBlondNYC (talk)08:04, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This claim should be removed until we can locate a reliable source to back the claim. Simple as that.JBsupreme (talk)08:06, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• If he was officially ommitted into the group right before8 Diagrams, like this page claims he was, You would atleast think they would mention it on his bio page on their official website. That website is updated constantly, they update solo tour dates, affiliate news, solo releases, etc. - if he were an official member, they would have mentioned this on his bio page by now. Also, if he were an official member, don't you think they would at least be other mentions of this other than Remix Magazine (the ONLY source that you guys have to back this claim up with). You should keep in mind that Wikipedia is an online ENCYCLOPEDIA, not an online blog to post rummors. Unless we can get reliable, credible sources, this claim will be taken down.--76.17.200.34 (talk)20:11, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• I don't know who "you guys" are because I'm not the one who put the info up nor am I part of some underground society that is determined to do so. I'm just stating there is enough info based on his credits on their albums to suggest that Cappadonna is considered a member of the group. I agreed with you that a better source is needed.MrBlondNYC (talk)22:05, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• The statement; "you guys" was directed to the people who keep putting up Cappadonna as an official member, and was not in any way directed towards you, I apologize for the lack of clarity in my statement. Anyway, I agree that his presence onThe W,Fishscale,8 Diagrams, etc. are enough to cause deep speculation of him being an official member. However, The lack of mention of this on Wu-Tang's official website (as I mentioned earlier), the lack of mention of this in theWu-Tang manual (although copy righted 2005), and the lack of mention of this anywhere else causes me some doubts. I personally don't have a problem with Cappadonna being labled an official Wu member on Wikipedia, I just think we should have more than one source backing this up, and that these sources should be reliable.--76.17.200.34 (talk)22:27, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• If you guys actually want to know why Capadonna ISN'T a member of the Wu Tang Clan, you might want to do a little searching into his connection to someone called "lord" Michael Caruso.68.41.208.250 (talk)11:44, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

His bio on the Wu-Tang website says he became an official member of the Wu-Tang Killa Beez in 1995. Should the Career section be updated to reflect that he's an official member of Wu-Tang? I'm not sure if the Killa Beez is a separate group or not.HtownCat (talk)22:43, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Killa Beez is an alternative name forWu-Tang affiliates, yet sometimes Wu-Tang Clan is called Killa Beez too. Cappa has been a Wu-Tang Killa Beez member since 1995. There was rumors that Cappa had become a Wu-Tang member because he was on the cover ofWu-Tang Forever album and he was with the group all the time back then. He had a little beef with Clan in the 2001 (he got cut off theIron Flag cover), but he still was Killa Beez member. RZA called his offical member in 2014 when they were releasingA Better Tomorrow album. That Wu-Tang site you referred to is not up-to-date and has a lot of misleading information, so I wouldn't consider it as a reliable sourceTashi_{Talk to me}23:23, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

According to the short description, his birth year is 1968. However, the background-information section lists the year as 1969.2600:1700:B490:4830:8516:6270:A1C1:1EFC (talk)10:02, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
