Am I the only one who always thought GZA was the best member of Wu Tang?

[FreshAIG]

Not saying he's the most entertaining, but I always felt like as an MC, GZA was the best in the group then Deck or Method Man probably

GZA also has the second best Wu related album imo too behind Only Built.

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

Absolutely.

He got lazy with his flow but at his best he's always been my favorite. Ghost more consistent though.

 

[Billy Ocean]

Only member I never heard spit a wack verse but I never looked at him as the overall best. Best lyricist out the Clan tho. Definitely.

 

[CEITEDMOFO]

That verse from jumpoff won me over.

 

[King Sun]

Liquid swords

BTS

Liquid swords 2

Grandmasters

Pro tools

 

[Sauce Dab]

That's not really a hot take. I think most people would agree and if they didn't they'd at least see where you're coming from

 

[Inspect Her Deck]

GZA is the best lyricist of all-time. Rebel INS a close second in the Wu and also one of the great wordsmiths.

Ghost, however, is the most consistently excellent and considering his discography and longevity he belongs higher on the GOAT list than any other Wu member.

Overall, I'd also put Raekwon above GZA. GZA would be third.

Liquid Swords, though, is the best Wu album ever imo. Cuban Linx right behind it.

I don't think he's ever wasted a line

Legend of The LS is an MC clinic... and the best 2000s wu album besides SC.

 

[No Hook]

Love GZA but he wasn't on the level of Meth or Deck

Love GZA but he wasn't on the level of Meth or Deck

In what way?

 

[Lord Mecca]

Nah you weren't. Not my favorite in the Wu but definitely the best lyricist. Even though I'm more Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface than others, I always felt that if we were just talking about emceeing GZA and Inspectah Deck are the two out of the clan you don't want any problems with

Deck don't play either.

 

[Bickin Back Being Bool]

I still do

 

[Scottie Drippin]

Was rainy on a long drive home yesterday and listened to Liquid Swords

 

[No Hook]

In what way?

Lyrics, flow, etc. Meth could jump on any production and sound good. GZA can't do that.
