Who can't love The Wu? Clearly, no-one as my very first TLW poll proved. However, we're now a much broader church, so here's the 2007 remix of that poll. Who is your favourite from the original (and best) line-up? Vote for any reason you like, but vote.

Now I've set my poll up (cunningly leaving out the original tenth option of "Wu who? I can only love guitars"), I can't decide who to vote for. Four of my all-time favourite MCs are in that line-up (Meth, ODB, Rae and Ghostface) and my opinion constantly changes as to which is the best. Plus I love RZA for creating the whole mythology of The Wu. If anyone wants a right laugh, buy his book, The Wu Manual. It's fucking ace: 'The Mathematics', kung-fu, comics, drug dealing and hip hop.

I like RZA's Ode to O-Ren Ishii from Kill Bill. Aside from that I'm not overly familiar with them.

 

RZA's coolest ever moment in a lifetime filled with them is his cameo in Ghostdog: Way of the Samurai playing the warrior Ghostdog passes in the street. They acknowledge each other with a nod. Ace.

Its years since I've seen that. Jim Jarmusch is ace. Might download that tonight.

Can't say, I like a few of them, mainly Method Man, Gza and Ghostface. Anyone who doesn't like Knock Knock by Gza/Genius though is a major Hip Hop retard.

 

Ghostface with 'The Champ' is another..

Tough but I've gone for Ghostface as he's the only member that has made more than one decent album (Ironman, Pretty Tony, Fishscale) Raekwon (BOFCL) and Genius (Liquid Swords) have had their moments too.

 

Rza is no doubt a great producer but I was so disappointed by the Bobby Digital stuff one or two great tunes but the rest wu-filler.

Ghostface as any of his solo work I've heard stands up as well as the Wu - Fishscale was particularly ace. Best name too.

 

ODB and RZA could just have easily have gotten my vote though for consistently inspired rhyme madness and slick beats respectively.
