Weakest link series: Wu tang

As a Wu head, my vote goes to Inspectah Deck (even though he's not on the list), and here's why:

Besides his Czarface album, he hasn't put out anything solo worth mentioning, let alone worth listening to. He also hasn't done much else in terms of collaborations with other artists like most of the Wu in the last 20+ years.

Inspectah Deck's major contributions to Wu-tang group albums are major, no doubt, but they are practically limited to just that - group albums. Contributions that are added to the albums along with the rest of the members on the basis of who has the hottest verses for the song. Contributions that, if they weren't up to par, wouldn't make the album (there's a reason U-God and Masta Killah get so little verses even on Wu-tang group albums).

He has the potential to be the GOAT member of the group, but he's lazy and seemingly uninterested unless specially provoked in a group setting.

Disagree with him being the weak link.I do agree he had the potential to be on the same level as Ghost .

Call it docile rapper syndrome.

MJG has it too

 
I would say RZA yet back in 97 when I was considering summer school he convince me to skip it and just pop in the WU Tang double CD. Yo that was all the education I needed that year.
 
I don't know why ya'll are hating on RZA. I like his style and what he talks about is deep. Check out his verse on this Gravediggaz track.

The Night The Earth Cried - Gravediggaz

RZA is the Silk The Shocker of New York

Lol I get it with the off beat flow, but please inform me when slik becomes a legendary producer and puts out a handful of classic albums
 
In Rzas defense he has his moments as a rapper too and there are songs where his verse is a standout. A Better Tomorrow and Protect Ya Neck come to mind

Masta Ace shouldn't be any where near this list.

I agree

I voted Raekwon also, because his rap catalogue is garbage when you take out both Cuban Linx albums, and on top of that, Rae can't make a dope album without Ghosface's help.

I am going with Rae. While Rae arguably has one of the best albums out of the clan. As a stand alone solo artist, he isn't as charismatic, entertaining and fluid as Meth or Ghost. And he isn't as deep, introspective and creative as GZA and RZA. Rae is nice at what he does though.

But raekwon was heavily featured in all of ghost's best albums...
