RZA for me. Every time he mentions the applehead he makes the track.

No homo.

Not even the "best," but these days my favorite is RZA easy. Specifically for his blunted delivery and verses on...

4th Chamber:
Aiyyo, camouflage chameleon - ninjas scalin your buildin
No time to grab the gun they already got your wife and children...


Assassination Day:
You can never master, it's invincible, Wu-Tang indispensable
One nation under God, indivisible
With liberty and justice, the mic is in my clutches
Thugs who bring ruckus, leave in crutches


Reunited:
Wu-Tang Incorp. take your brain on spacewalk
Talk strange like B-jork, great hero Jim Thorpe
How can I put it? Life is like video footage
Hard to edit, directors, they never understood it
...
Grow like a fetus with no hands and feet to complete us
and we return like Jesus, when the whole world need us


PS - His own solo stuff aside, Meth's the most consistent and really ought to win this thing - almost never less than great, and often brilliant. He pretty much holds Forever together. And his verse on Radioactive is sublime...

It ain't all to the good, muh'fuckers hatin in the hood
Gotta a hundred wolves waitin in the woods
for the Clan's forthcomin'
I miss you in the game a court summons
And fugitives of rap caught runnin, y'all get locked up
E'rything was wack 'til we popped up
And got it on and poppin like Orville Reddenbacher
Podnuh, you ain't got no wins in mi casa
Wu-Tang got ya, like every ghetto got a Tasha
Request lines are now open, you see these MC's chokin
and thinkin, "What's that SHIT they be smokin?"
I'm so focused, simple chronic halitosis
Keep my shit funky when I spit this braggadocious
[hach, spit] Y'all niggaz got some fuckin nerve
to critic what I write, that's my muh'fuckin word
Blah blah blah, like N'Sync
Kiss that ass "Bye Bye Bye" knahmsayin? I ain't playin...


U-God and Masta Killa are probably the most underrated.

gza - some of the best flows on 36 chambers and liquid swords is just brilliant

gman, Thursday, 17 May 2007 03:57 (sixteen years ago) link

This is too damn hard. I've managed to narrow it down to GZA & Ghost, but.......

The Reverend, Thursday, 17 May 2007 04:19 (sixteen years ago) link

Voted Gza cause the guy tried to steal my spaghetti during an interview.

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 28 May 2007 22:47 (sixteen years ago) link

i wish i could go back and vote for rza

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 28 May 2007 22:48 (sixteen years ago) link

if only people hadn't posted who they voted for, so we could dig up the time capsule in 13 years and be surprised by the results

bernard snowy, Monday, 28 May 2007 22:58 (sixteen years ago) link

if only people hadn't posted who they voted for, so we could dig up the time capsule in 13 years and be surprised by the results

in the future, u-god will be the most highly praised wu-tanger ...

... or, with a greater probability, method man will be the most highly praised wu-tanger and 13 years from now folks will be shocked that he got so little love back in the day.

Eisbaer, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 03:19 (sixteen years ago) link

U-God is awful. His verses are almost uniformly bad, IMHO.

RZA is a great lyricist and his beats (at least before 2000), are amazing.
GZA's verses are the most cerebral.
Inspectah Deck is a hugely underrated lyricist, and while he's not charismatic enough to handle a track alone, he always makes a track better (BTW, check his verse on "Let My Niggas Live"-- it's badass)
Ghostface is the most stream-of-consciousness and in many ways the most surreal lyricist.
ODB... well, you gotta love ODB.
I don't really care for Meth all that much. His style doesn't really fit in with the other members in my opinion.

Richard Wood Johnson, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 19:24 (sixteen years ago) link

you sound like a valuable new poster

deej, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 19:32 (sixteen years ago) link

i voted for Ghostface, although maybe i should have voted GZA. for year, Beneath the Surface was the only wu-tang album i owned.

From the Daily News: When rapper Method Man rolled down his SUV's window at the Battery Tunnel to pay the toll, a cloud of marijuana smoke wafted outside - and landed him in jail, authorities said yesterday. "It was like something out of 'Cheech and Chong.' He rolls down the window and the smoke would choke a horse," a source said.

poortheatre, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 19:34 (sixteen years ago) link

i voted gza.

M@tt He1ges0n, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 19:36 (sixteen years ago) link

i voted for meth, in the end.

jabba hands, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 01:37 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm guessing it was for Raekwon

Check Yr Scrobbles (Moodles), Friday, 11 December 2015 20:28 (eight years ago) link

Ghostface no contest

Οὖτις, Friday, 11 December 2015 20:28 (eight years ago) link

Hoping all you peeps are gearing up for the Wu Tang artist poll (probs sometime around mid 2016?)

Spottie, Friday, 11 December 2015 21:37 (eight years ago) link

should've done it back in 2002 - the battle was filled with the wu iirc

Doctor Casino, Friday, 11 December 2015 22:20 (eight years ago) link

kinda pumped to do it next year, i really haven't dipped into old Wu in years. Ready for a refresher.

Spottie, Friday, 11 December 2015 22:22 (eight years ago) link

lol waht

i do wonder who i voted for 10 years ago

ciderpress, Friday, 25 August 2017 14:29 (six years ago) link

I probably voted for GZA in 2007; this time around I'm going with Cap'n Checkmate because his contributions to The W and Iron Flag are waaaaay overlooked and I'd hate to see him end up with 0 votes after all these years

the old rugged crocs (unregistered), Thursday, 7 September 2017 22:51 (six years ago) link

i think this year i'm voting for inspectah deck. hopefully i haven't made that choice all the other times or the results are really gonna be skewed.

Doctor Casino, Friday, 8 September 2017 03:23 (six years ago) link

two years pass...

we're finally getting close

ciderpress, Tuesday, 31 December 2019 15:24 (four years ago) link

threw this year's vote to U-God on principle

Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 31 December 2019 15:29 (four years ago) link

after 12 years of thinking about it i feel like i may finally be ready to vote in this poll

warn me about a lurking rake (One Eye Open), Tuesday, 31 December 2019 15:33 (four years ago) link

This is where I will confess that I have never been able to get into Ghostface, just because his voice is so annoying. Surely I'm not the only one?

may the force leave us alone (zchyrs), Tuesday, 31 December 2019 16:19 (four years ago) link

no there are definitely other people who've been FPed for this over the years

Kebabs Windsor (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 31 December 2019 16:27 (four years ago) link

As they should be

Οὖτις, Tuesday, 31 December 2019 16:30 (four years ago) link

RZA = favorite member
Rae = favorite rapper

After that:
Ghost
ODB
Method
GZA
Masta Killa
Deck
U-God

thanks! cool jam, i'm not 100% sure that's _actually_ a tron, feel like it could be some willie mitchell strings? but it's a great song and it does _sound_ a lot like tron.
