But we all know masta is and ugod are 1 and 1.2 wackest rappers i wanna say ever but that's not true there are plenty who are worse but i don't listen to them. Ugod and masta wack ass (damn near single handedly ruined triumph) were forced on me for years.

    Does anyone ever say tamaato though? That's like when Stewie pronounces the H in Cool-Whip...

    Rapping-wise, this is easy, RZA is the worst.

    Chemistry-wise, GZA brings nothing to the table.

    You obviously didn't hear Liquid Swords when it was out.

    Forget about Bad Boy, Wu Tang was what we listened to in that era.

    RAE has a classic but Ghostface was a costar on the album. I hate that his flow has gotten so lazy now and between him and RZA I went begrudgingly with RAE.

    I do cosign that Method Man underachieved big time though

    skip FILA and Raekwon is carrying the Wu in terms of dropping the best albums in recent years.

    As a Wu head, my vote goes to Inspectah Deck (even though he's not on the list), and here's why:

    Besides his Czarface album, he hasn't put out anything solo worth mentioning, let alone worth listening to. He also hasn't done much else in terms of collaborations with other artists like most of the Wu in the last 20+ years.

    Inspectah Deck's major contributions to Wu-tang group albums are major, no doubt, but they are practically limited to just that - group albums. Contributions that are added to the albums along with the rest of the members on the basis of who has the hottest verses for the song. Contributions that, if they weren't up to par, wouldn't make the album (there's a reason U-? and Masta Killah get so little verses even on Wu-tang group albums).

    He has the potential to be the GOAT member of the group, but he's lazy and seemingly uninterested unless specially provoked in a group setting.

    Disagree with him being the weak link.I do agree he had the potential to be on the same level as Ghost .

    Call it docile rapper syndrome.

    MJG has it too

    I would say RZA yet back in 97 when I was considering summer school he convince me to skip it and just pop in the WU Tang double CD. Yo that was all the education I needed that year.

    Honestly this is a tough one to pick, but it'll been easier if U-? was listed.

    I don't know why ya'll are hating on RZA. I like his style and what he talks about is deep. Check out his verse on this Gravediggaz track.
