RZA, GZA, Old Dirty Basard (Deceased), Raekwon The Chef , Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, Method Man, Masta Killa, U-God.



* RZA (born Robert Diggs, 1969) - The de facto leader of the group. He produced the entirety of Enter the Wu-Tang and the majority of the tracks on subsequent Wu-Tang albums. He has also produced many of the group's solo efforts, especially early on. Considered a producing pioneer, recently his popularity has transcended hip-hop. Thanks to Jim Jarmusch giving him his break with Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, he has gone on to score several Hollywood films such as the first installment of Quentin Tarantino's critically acclaimed Kill Bill.

* GZA (born Gary Grice, 1966) - He is the oldest member of the group as well as the most experienced, having begun rapping in 1976, when hip-hop was still a local New York phenomenon [2]. He was also the first to release an album, Words from the Genius, which was released in 1990 on Cold Chillin'/Reprise. He is known for his laid-back flow and complex use of metaphor, containing references to Samurai films, chess and 5 Percenter teachings. Liquid Swords, his Wu-Tang debut album, is often considered among the group's best work.

* Ol' Dirty Bastard (born Russell Jones, 1968 - 2004) - Arguably the most unique and erratic member of the group, his wild behavior drew significant media — and often police — attention. Along with Method Man, he was among the most popular members of Wu-Tang with high sales and guest spots with industry giants like Mariah Carey. He collapsed in Wu-Tang's recording studio on November 13, 2004 and pronounced dead less than an hour later, with a later autopsy confirming a cocaine overdose to be the cause of his death.

* Raekwon The Chef (born Corey Woods, 1970) - Nicknamed "The Chef" for having "lyrical flavor", as well as his skills at 'cooking' cocaine into crack rock, his lyrics contain extensive use of New York slang and are often delivered in an aggressive, fast-paced manner. His influential solo album Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... is often credited with initiating the Mafioso rap phenomenon of the mid-to-late-1990s, and is generally considered one of the best of the solo albums by both fans and critics.

* Ghostface Killah (born Dennis Coles, 1970) - He has very distinctive, almost abstract style of rapping, and is known for his ability to write lyrics extremely quickly. He is arguably the most consistent member of the group, having released his debut album Ironman to critical acclaim, he also played a b * ig role in Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... as well. Mainstream hip-hop press credits his sophomore album Supreme Clientele with "saving the Wu", and later enjoyed similar success with The Pretty Toney Album (2004), and Fishscale (2006).

* Inspectah Deck (born Jason Hunter, 1970) - He was one of the star members of the group, gaining attention by providing stand-out performances on both Wu-Tang albums and on other member's solo albums aswell as being a popular guest rapper in 1997 and 1998. He is considered by many in the fanbase as the stand-out member on Wu-Tang Forever, although his later solo albums failed to live up to the high expectations. He is also a successful producer, providing beats for many albums such as Supreme Clientele.

* Method Man (born Clifford Smith, 1971) - He was the youngest member of the Wu-Tang Clan and the first to release a Wu-Tang solo album with Tical, his career went on to become the most successful in the group with platinum sales and a Grammy for I'll Be There For You/You're All I Need with Mary J. Blige. He has also had a significant acting career with many film and television credits to his name, most notably the comedy film How High and the sitcom Method & Red, both co-starring with Redman, who he also made an album with in 1999 titled Blackout!.

* Masta Killa (born Elgin Turner, 1969) - He was the only member not already an experienced rapper at the time of the group's formation, and was therefore extensively mentored by GZA d * ig role in Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... as well. Mainstream hip-hop press credits his sophomore album Supreme Clientele with "saving the Wu", and later enjoyed similar success with The Pretty Toney Album (2004), and Fishscale (2006).

* Inspectah Deck (born Jason Hunter, 1970) - He was one of the star members of the group, gaining attention by providing stand-out performances on both Wu-Tang albums and on other member's solo albums aswell as being a popular guest rapper in 1997 and 1998. He is considered by many in the fanbase as the stand-out member on Wu-Tang Forever, although his later solo albums failed to live up to the high expectations. He is also a successful producer, providing beats for many albums such as Supreme Clientele.

* Method Man (born Clifford Smith, 1971) - He was the youngest member of the Wu-Tang Clan and the first to release a Wu-Tang solo album with Tical, his career went on to become the most successful in the group with platinum sales and a Grammy for I'll Be There For You/You're All I Need with Mary J. Blige. He has also had a significant acting career with many film and television credits to his name, most notably the comedy film How High and the sitcom Method & Red, both co-starring with Redman, who he also made an album with in 1999 titled Blackout!.

* Masta Killa (born Elgin Turner, 1969) - He was the only member not already an experienced rapper at the time of the group's formation, and was therefore extensively mentored by GZA d * uring his early days with the group. He was largely absent on the groups first album due to him being incarcerated. He was also the last to release a solo album, though when he finally did release No Said Date, it was generally well received and considered one of the best post-2000 Wu-Tang releases.[3]

* U-God (born Lamont Hawkins, 1970) - (a.k.a "Golden Arms") One of the lesser hailed members of Wu-Tang, (partly due to his limitied exposure, from being incarcerated for most of the recording of 36 Chambers) he has had a rather unspectacular solo career. He later blamed this on RZA and a short beef between them ensued, though they eventually reconciled.
