Whenever Wu Tang comes up in a thread somebody always makes a joke about U-? .
Can you post one wack U-? verse?

It's mainly because he's the one with the least amount of charisma

HE'S THE CORNY LIGHT-SKINNED ? OF THE GROUP...
BUT HE'S DOPE...I THOUGHT HE WAS UP THERE W/ ? ON 8 DIAGRAMS...
ESPECIALLY ON TAKE IT BACK & WOLVES
REDEMPTION & DOPIUM ARE BOTH DOPE ALBUMS IN MY BOOK... -
Because his arms aren't really golden.

"least amount of charisma" does not mean "no charisma". -

"least amount of charisma" does not mean "no charisma".
If I had to rate the Wu on charisma, U-? wouldn't be at the bottom. He shined on The Mysteries of Chessboxin and Cherez La Ghost.
GZA isn't very charismatic but Liquid Swords came out perfect (for a rapper with very little charisma).
Inspectah Deck and Masta Killah aren't as charismatic as, say, Method Man.
But my point is that whenever the Wu gets brought up its always U-? that's the butt of the joke, never Masta Killer, GZA or Deck. -
cuz the ? talk big ? when you cant point the other member of wu out at any walmart lineup
-
the difference between deck or gza and u ? is they make up for that lack of charisma with lyricism.
gza arguably the best lyricist in the wu. -

GZA has a classic, deck has arguably the greatest verse in Hip Hop and shined on a classic record in "cream" And other verses. I really can't think of a bad deck verse and still killing it now with the czarface albums.masta killa can rap his ass off Anyone who ? on him obviously never heard his albums -
U ? is fine, but he is one of the weakest in the group. Back in the day, I probably would have put him just above Masta Killa as the worst, but Masta has stepped it up big time since then whereas U ? is pretty much the same.

Everybody in the hood back then grew up on Shaw Bros. movies and comic books. Even my generation who was younger (1983 baby) and that was their whole style so it was easy. "Kicking rhymes like Jim Kelly" for instance you don't get that ? unless you remember old blaxploitation kung fu joints like Blackbelt Jones which we always used to watch in the saturday afternoon movie and vhs tape days. -

Well, it helps that for every video they had with the Kung Fu, they had a video looking like they were from the grimiest hood in the Universe. -
Wu-Tang was the ? cause they embodied what everyone in the hood went through and enjoyed all up in their music. Authentically and unapologetically.
The everyman blue collar type, the drug dealer, the dude who just lounges on the stoop and at home. We all grew up smoking blunts, reading comic books, watching sports and kung fu flicks, piping ? 's etc.
They truly were for the people in a way no other group ever dared to be. Not even Public Enemy and N.W.A. -

Nothing like someone talking then the words come thru the tv 5 seconds later..weed and karate flicks a ill combo -
There is also the fact that when U-? got his own solo on a Wu album, he came up with Black Shampoo.
