Poll Closing Date: Tuesday, 5 May 2020 00:00 (in 2 years)

lol waht

i do wonder who i voted for 10 years ago

WU-TANG CLAN — Artist Poll — Nominations, Discussions, Parameters (noms close Sept 17)

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

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.

we're finally getting close

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

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

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?

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

As they should be

RZA = favorite member
Rae = favorite rapper

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

The RZA contributed the lion's share so it's gotta be him.

voting masta killa. always loved method man, odb, and inspectah deck, but mk was always so underrated.

a personal classic and a rare non-wu appearance.

'controlled by allah, i be the most humble.'

Ghost all day

Johnny blaze or the chef

GZA next

I chose Dirty because Return to the 36 Chambers is still one of the most idiosyncratic and exciting albums of any genre.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

lol the time has arrived!!

GZA, Raekwon, then Method

been waiting for this one

Ghost is my favorite rapper, so, him

A momentous day is nearly upon us!

I voted Raekwon because his raps were always so damn solid, but GZA's track on the Rhapsody album was an incredible reminder of the ability he possesses when he brings his A game.

method man for sentimental value (limp bizkit collab, how high)

has to be ghostface

Is it alright if we extend the deadline for another 13 years? I need more time to think.

Is Dirt McGurt supposed to be ODB ?

voting gza because liquid swords had an absolutely seismic effect on me at age 15 but virtually all of them are extraordinary in one way or another, just an incredible concentration of talent

glad i had the time to think this through properly, thanks chromeski a.k. gattlington

i'm stunned to realize we're here. hits harder than any aging sci-fi movie "can't believe that far off future date has arrived" type thing.

Showdown between GZA and Ghost, nigh impossible, but ultimately the latter ran away with it.

Nearly finished my 2007 Things To Check Out list

- Chinese Democracy
- New Duke Nukem
- ILM's favourite wu-tang member

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

RZA and U-God the only ones I don't own solo albums by

Only 285 votes in all? Man, this place is tinier than I thought.

Confession: there were a number of years there where votes weren't being saved properly between server reboots and we've moved server about five times since this poll began so maybe better you just talk it out who is actually best

Poll rerun needed, finishing in 2033

Don't tempt me…

#1 favorite wu-tang member RERUN DUE TO SERVER ISSUES THIS IS CRUCIAL

pretty sure most of the votes i cast over the years were rza, gza and deck, so obviously these results are fatally tainted by the server resets and lose all legitimacy

Nice distribution of points, although pretty impressed at how much Ghostface crushed it. His stock has gone way up over the past 15 or so years.

partially because of how prolific he's been, and how consistently listenable-to-good most of his releases were, even if he's treaded water for a while. not that this is why people voted for him, but he has never really stopped chugging along. Raekwon probably the closest in terms of releases and quality control.

how did U-God beat Masta Killa

on the basis of "raw, I'ma give it to ya, with no trivia..." verse?

Ghostface is the only one where I accrued lots and lots of solo/collab records, almost all being decent investments. Have no idea whether I voted though!

Love some u-god verses like on the completely bonkers Chercez LaGhost + Uzi, It’s Yourz, Chessboxin, Pinky Ring, Black Jesus, Click Click. Has way more classics than masta but masta gets credit for releasing a couple solid post wu prime solo albums.

so this is a nerd question but my wife was listening to a rza interview about his ice cream jingle and apropos of nothing he started raving about how much he fucking loves the mellotron

does anybody know any releases where rza uses the mellotron

planet mellotron is no use because the guy who runs that site is gatekeepy and doesn't count sampled mellotron, you know how gear nerds get
