To tell you how high the standard of hip hop was in the 90s and how low it has fallen; when The Pillage came out, it received mixed reviews. This album will slay 99% of today's counterfeit out there.
Your comment is bang on point, I keep coming back to these 90s rapper's WTC especially they were way ahead of their time, their lyrics still outdo most new GenZ rapper's today 💯
Bullshit! Cap could have raised the lyrical bar very high and had some raw talent. but in reality he was messing his deal up by having some low weak standards and actually he was saying a bunch of bullshit man
Maximum respect from Ghana, Africa. I'm 40years old, highly educated and head of multinational firm but still with Wu family. Addiction to underground hip-hop, when I was in my teens.I remember we walked 15km to Nima( Hardcore slum) in the central part of the city Accra,Ghana Just for Wu-Tang LP's and cassettes. It was fun Man
Its up there but there have some dope beats in history of hip hop this is just one of many. Half of the Supreme Clientelle album buries this beat. Not forgetting the Mobb Deep catalogue. However it's one the illest beats out there.
Cap like Golden Arms you either like him & understand him or you hate him. They are poets. They aren't merely rappers. Most of Wu are poetic & it's more than rhymes.
Cappa dropped this In 1998 when people was Lowkey sleeping on him. This song & video changed all of that fast. He had a Super impact and his album was dope... Shout out to True Master for producing this Heat 🔥🔥💨💨💨... Razor Sharp Records
NOTHING in the world could ever even come close to being compared to the Wu ... They've got a style and a sound like nothing else ... Definitely the dopest group in hip hop history.. Wu-Tang Forever ...
I dig the homage to John Woo's "The Killer" in that video. They had budget for their videos back in the 90's, they made art and literally mini-movies. The track is classic anyway.
As 15 year old white boy from Mechanicsville VA ....The pillage was a staple for my music hot list ...How can anyone not crank this... new capadonna get treacherous
1 million views. You deserve that capp! I'm proud right now. Came a long way from smoking blunts in the park with this tape playing on the little Sony box with the red record button. Holla!
A masterpiece ... one of my favourite albums ever this was never out of my Walkman every time I hear this album it takes me back to a great time growing up listening to all the Wu members religiously
@@LXRD-SUPREME- nah he was an affiliate 1: rza 2: gza 3: ghostface 4: raekwon 5: meth 6: ol dirty 7: master killa 8: u god 9: inspecta deck Those are the 9 members cap was introduced on raekwons ice cream and then on ghostface iron man
At the age of 32 I started to listen rap again after about 3-4 years break. But this time I’ve started from scratch started with Dj Kool Herc to understand better this great genre:) And I’m stuck with Wu Tang. Thats all I’m listening for about 10 months. I’ve gave enough time for each album to get the essence :) I’ve started with Enter the Wu and listened all albums in chronological order including every solo album (except Words from the Genious but it’s on my list). I’ve told all this to tell that how I was surprised when listening The Pillage. It might be the most underrated solo project. It is in the Top 5 solo Wu albums imo and this song is a masterpiece.
well made video, you never even see a gun or hear a gun shot but u know what happens.. rza is a genius especially the last shot, it gives u absolutely nothing and u still know after the video ends cappa shoots him
I used to not like Cap and then I went back and listened to The Pillage and it gave me a whole new appreciation for him..... This beat will always be a banger!
I've been waiting 20 years for the sequel! When you get done watching this video you realize that it is more entertaining than most full length movies out today.
Always loved Cappadonna,but the more I listen to this album in later years this shit has aged like fine wine! Cappa's lyrics are so far ahead a lot of people couldn't understand it when it first came out. Glad I wasn't one of em and was able to appreciate this wordplay from day 1!🎤
Brooklyn bound wit da sound, hoping turnstyles!!!! real NY shit boi!!! this is one of da illest tracks ever...RIP hiphop this one of da greats! Never to be seen again, pour some licks on da earth in memory.
Really? That would be awesome, but I always assumed it was because a lot of the Sopranos cast already worked for HBO and just likely shared the same talent agency. An example would be the HBO Gotti movie that was about a year before Sopranos and had most of the cast in it... Big Puss, Tony Sirico, Uncle June, etc.
One of the dopest albums, rest easy bro sayi, i used to go to you for listening to hip hop and the cd i stole somewhere, pillaging never stops but i was a kid back then, east london in south africa

💯
That’s a big facts my boy, I was listening to old Jeru thinking the same thing
We really thought The Pillage was mid lol
Concept behind wu tangs material is timeless….. hip hop today will never exceed that level
Your comment is bang on point, I keep coming back to these 90s rapper's WTC especially they were way ahead of their time, their lyrics still outdo most new GenZ rapper's today 💯
Don't know why The Pillage isn't more widely regarded - sick WU album from the Golden era
I was the only Guy in Germany 🇩🇪 playing "The Pillage" in my BMW 540i #USARMY #VeteranGang #Brooklyn
Cappodonna 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Pillage was legit!
Luke James #Classic
Luke James the production was, but Cappa started to run outta bars lol
Capadonna has a baaaaad flow soo off beat
Bullshit! Cap could have raised the lyrical bar very high and had some raw talent. but in reality he was messing his deal up by having some low weak standards and actually he was saying a bunch of bullshit man

Wu Tang is Forever, that's why.

Top 5 beats I've ever heard! The Pillage album was super slept on
Its up there but there have some dope beats in history of hip hop this is just one of many. Half of the Supreme Clientelle album buries this beat. Not forgetting the Mobb Deep catalogue. However it's one the illest beats out there.
Big time slept on ! In my opinion top 3 WU solo albums ! Classic 1998
Cap like Golden Arms you either like him & understand him or you hate him. They are poets. They aren't merely rappers. Most of Wu are poetic & it's more than rhymes.
Classic Album!

Cappa dropped this In 1998 when people was Lowkey sleeping on him. This song & video changed all of that fast. He had a Super impact and his album was dope... Shout out to True Master for producing this Heat 🔥🔥💨💨💨... Razor Sharp Records
The Pillage was one of my fav out the first few solo members' albums.
“I come correct 22 outfits and a mic check” 🐐 verse
The pillage in my opinion is maybe one of the top 5 most underrated hip hop albums of all time
Real talk Cappadonna is definitely. One of the most slept on members of the Wu-Tang Clan.
Cappa is good compared to whoever is considered best - A top MC no question
AMEN!
Came to the fork in the road and went straight 🎧⚡🥋
HUNDRED PERCENT AGREE…one of my favorite albums of all from pillage to black boy
RIP Tony Sirico
NOTHING in the world could ever even come close to being compared to the Wu ... They've got a style and a sound like nothing else ... Definitely the dopest group in hip hop history..
Wu-Tang Forever ...

I dig the homage to John Woo's "The Killer" in that video. They had budget for their videos back in the 90's, they made art and literally mini-movies. The track is classic anyway.
Whoa, they got Frank Vincent to do a Cappadonna video? What a time it was to be alive.
bluemonkjd well they are from staten home of the Ny mobsters
Paul Sirico not frank

Give Tru Master his flowers for over half of Wu-Tang productions. He has been overshadowed by RZA & Mathematics.
Cappa was boutta catch that fade at the end

Very underrated. When he came out I'm confident the best rappers paid attention. Definitely top 20 with the flow and swag
cappa's fishing boat outran a helicopter...that's my nigga!

Dipset Forever Me too... i took this for granted back then

Put this song and video in a time capsule. 100 years from now when it's opened, they'll know what rap music was. This song is a gem.
the pillage goes hard...so many bangers.. very well put together..
Best! From Armenia with respect
Legend has it David Chase used to watch this video every day. That's why he casted Tony Sirico for Paulie. Wu-tang 4 eva
