My boy Tim Faklis and I have come up with a new little feature for Rhyme Junkie where every so often we will collaborate to answer 5 themed questions, called "I Got 5 On It" (why not lol). This is our first one, so we figured what better way to kick it off than use Wu-Tang as the theme? The topics we discuss are:
- Most underrated Wu-Tang solo album
- Best Wu-Tang album (other than the universal #1 36 Chambers)
- Favorite member of the Wu-Tang Clan
- Best Wu-Tang solo album
- Most underrated deep track
Here's a snippet:
Favorite Wu-Tang Member:
Dustin- Method Man
As much love as I have for each and every member of the group, Method Man is far and away my favorite. RZA's impact on the group and hip hop in general goes unquestioned, and in terms of emceeing, GZA comes in second for me but nobody else in the Clan has the "total package" like Hot Nicks. Method Man has a one of a kind voice, the most stimulating rhymes, the most captivating personality, an incredible solo catalog and that patented flow and delivery. To me, nobody else in the group brings the "it factor" quite like Meth, one of my all-time favorite rappers.

Tim- RZA
Maybe it's cliche to choose the co-leader, but I can't help it. I will be forever in awe of the genius that RZA puts forth on every Wu-Tang work. Whether it's the full group, a solo project, or something totally different, he always brings it. The man even directs kung-fu movies. How cool is that?
