U-God sucked after the first round of albums, Deck was only good on group albums, Masta Killa always sucked, ODB was barely on anything after the first round, Rae had shit beat selection and shit solos from 97 to 2008 and just had some good verses in the Forever era...
The only good members were RZA, Ghost, GZA, and Meth. The whole time if we are being completely deadass here and not stanning. RZA and GZA both peaked early in like 1999 so it's just be Ghost and Meth holding the Wu up since 1999. Let's all just be really really real.
But despite all that they are still really good at what they do. Just not compared to their past selves and all of them have their moments. U-God had Dopium. Ghost had his beats on Fishscale, his work with DOOM, New God Flow, etc. Rae had his shine with OB4CL 2. Deck finally got his good album with Czarface. RZA drops at least one really good beat a year. Meth is youthful as shit and when he decides to put an album out he will have Def Jam's support and can actually tour for it and get hype. They are honestly a special group of artists.
