Tomorrow marks the 20th Anniversary of '36 Chambers'. Knowing what you know now, who is your favorite original Wu Tang Member?

PancakeBrah · 11-08-2013, 08:40 PM

Talks are in the works for a reunion album, but for all intents and purposes their careers are set.

I'm a GZA diehard, with Raekwon a close second, and Ghostface a distance third.

Geno · 11-08-2013, 08:42 PM

Lyrically: gza
Flow wise: method

When gza gets old, I like ghost face and inspectah

Malachi · 11-08-2013, 08:42 PM

M-E-T-H-O-D MAANNNNN

that is also the best song on the album

Destroyer · 11-08-2013, 08:43 PM

gza
then odb
or fuck, maybe Raekwon
but deck is tight as well
and I've always liked meth...
but RZA got those mad beats

Geno · 11-08-2013, 08:44 PM

Pshh.com word, nothing better than classic rza beats. Cept havoc beats. But that's another thread

PancakeBrah · 11-08-2013, 08:45 PM

Deck is dope.

Method is all delivery. That's a compliment.

Raekwon released the second best Wu solo.

Ghostface has been the most prolific and consistently relevant after the group's peak.

Hard decision. GZA killed every verse he had on 36 Chambers and released the best solo Wu album.

Pent uP · 11-08-2013, 08:46 PM

Lyrically rae
Flow method
And gza for obvious reasons

PancakeBrah · 11-08-2013, 08:49 PM

RZA being 100 in an interview on the Wu Tang reunion album. Drops names, calling original members out who aren't committed.

Untold · 11-08-2013, 08:52 PM

Raekwon
GfK

Fcccck.

uh-oh · 11-08-2013, 09:16 PM

method man has always been the best, and to this day he is the best and the only one who got better with age. not saying the others fell off (some did) but they are mostly exactly the same.

which is cool

but meth was my favorite as a kid, and still is

Mike Wrecka · 11-08-2013, 09:16 PM

aint no best. and u guys left out ODB

Masta and Deck the dopest in 2013

uh-oh · 11-08-2013, 09:20 PM

i agree with most of what 50 is saying

on gza

"his was always so smart that it was stupid"

knowledge

but yo gza's liquid swords was probably my favorite production wise. so many classic beats off that.

but my favorite solo wu album is 4:21 the day after

on some 2006 shit way after all the "classics" everyone dropped

Mike Wrecka · 11-08-2013, 09:23 PM

if 50 says it , it must be true

meth was the dopest for a long time but fell off hard

Judgement Day was an incredible album. ridiculously under rated

Destroyer · 11-08-2013, 09:23 PM

How is one supposed to make this decision? what do we base it on? if we are simply looking at solo work done outside of the Wu-Tang Clan, then we have to say GZA is the best.
but if we are looking at it in light of what they have done on Wu-Tang Clan records, then I might have to pick ghostface killa

Certain · 11-08-2013, 09:24 PM

From Day One, GZA has been my favorite. No. 2 used to be Method Man, but Ghostface Killah has moved well past everyone other than GZA on my list because he's been so good in the 2000s.

I think you have it backward. Ghostface Killah has the deepest discography by far.
