All caps
In typography, ALL CAPS (short for "all capitals" or "all capitalized") refers to text or a font in which all letters are capital letters. "All caps" may be used for emphasis (for a word or phrase). They are commonly seen in the titles on book covers, in advertisements and in newspaper headlines. Short strings of words in capital letters appear bolder and "louder" than mixed case, and this is sometimes referred to as "shouting". All caps can also be used to indicate that a given word is an acronym.
Studies have been conducted on the readability and legibility of all caps text. Scientific testing from the 20th-century onwards has generally indicated that all caps text is less legible and readable than lower-case text. In addition, switching to all caps may make text appear hectoring and obnoxious for cultural reasons, since all-capitals is often used in transcribed speech to indicate that the speaker is shouting. All-caps text is common in comic books, as well as on older teleprinter and radio transmission systems which often do not indicate letter case at all.
All Caps (song)
"All Caps" is a single by the hip-hop duo Madvillain from their debut album Madvillainy.
Background
The title is a reference to MF DOOM's preference that his stage name be written in all capital letters. An early version of this song appeared on the unofficially released album Are MadVillain titled "Horny". The track contains three samples: the main sample and the outro (the only one in the album credits) are taken from the TV show Ironside (episodes "Price Tag: Death" and "Up, Down and Even"); the intro is taken from the TV show The Streets of San Francisco (episode "For Good or Evil").

All Caps
by: Madvillain[MF Doom]
So nasty that it's probably somewhat of a travesty
Having me daily told the people
"You can call me 'Your Majesty'"
Keep your battery charged
You know it won't stick, yo
And it's not his fault you kick slow
Should've let your trick 'ho chick hold your sick glow
Plus nobody couldn't do nothin' once he let the brick go
And you know I know that's a bunch of snow
The beat is so butter
Peep the slow cutter
As he utters the calm flow (Yo mutha)
Don't talk about my moms, yo
Sometimes he rhyme quick, sometimes he rhyme slow
And vice versa
Whip up a slice of nice verse pie
Hit it on the first try
Villain: The Worst Guy
Spot hot tracks like spot a pair of fat asses
Shots of the scotch from out of square shot glasses
And he won't stop 'till he got the masses
An' show 'em what they know now through flows of hot molasses
Do it like a robot to headspin to boogaloo
Took a few minutes to convince the average bug-a-boo
It's ugly, like look at you! It's a damn shame
Just remember All Caps when you spell the man name
And you know it like a poet, like baby doll
I bet she tried to say she gave me her all, she played ball
All bets off! The Villain got the dice rigged
And they say he accosted the man with the sliced wig
Allegedly, the investigation is still ongoing
In this pesky inition he gots the best con flowin'
The pot doubles, now they really got troubles
