The huge, amorphous rap-clan known as Wu-Tang Clan has seen lots of members come and go, lots of beefs start and get squashed and one of its most charismatic members die in 2004. Their most recent album was a critical success and many of the members have gone on to successful solo careers. Here is a list of the top three Wu-Tang Clan members.

Ghostface Killah

With his trademark yelling rap flow and stream-of-conscious, literate hood narratives, Ghostface Killah is not only one of the most strange, brilliant and verbose members of the Wu-Tang Clan, he is one of the best hip-hop storytellers alive. His most critically successful record that pushed him into the mainstream and which made him a darling in the eyes of both white and urban fans, “Fishscale” saw Ghostface honing his storytelling abilities into fine display easel art.

GZA

One of the most intelligent and lyrical of the Wu-Tang Clan members, GZA has released one of the most critically and commercially successful Wu-Tang Clan solo records, “Liquid Swords.” Produced almost exclusively by member RZA, “Liquid Swords” is a strange, wild and hypnotic rap journey with some of the most evacotaive RZA beats and cosmic GZA lyrics, adding up to a strange, Samurai themed, gangster rap album that one can listen to again and again and still new mysteries.

Raekwon

Few rappers can rival Raekwon, or sometimes known as Raekwon the Chef, for pure wordplay. Raekwon’s rhymes are densely lyrical vignettes full of obscure slang, drug references and clever boasting. He returned to form after many thought his best days were behind him with the release of “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…Pt II”, a sequel to his classic first entry and considered one of the best rap albums of all time.
