Without RZA there is no Wu Tang, at least as it existed.

 

Without Meth, I don't think the Wu has the commercial success since he was the most accessible.

 

Without Ghost and Rae you didn't have the acclaimed storytelling lyrics.

 

Without GZA you wouldn't have the mature knowledge in Wu songs. The older brother of the group.

 

Rebel INS was severely underrated. The most underrated in the group. I probably should have put him ahead of GZA. His verse in Triumph stands on its own.

 

ODB was just crazy. Gave the group that WTF! aspect

 

U-God severely underrated too. Great flow, put together words that sounded great together even though it didn't mean a thing.

 

Masta Killa, redundant delivery but still a gifted MC and his solo stuff was probably the best of second generation WU solo stuff.

Liquid swords single handedly puts GZA 1 for me.

RZA did the beats though. Do you like the other GZA albums? What about Swords stands out from the others?

 

RZA is the head coach of the team. In terms of importance he has to be #1.
