U-God sucks and is easily the worst member of the group. They shouldn't pay him shyt.
Cappadonna breaks down the Tiers of the Clan's payment system
- Thread starter Ziggiy
- Start date
Needs more tiers.
FIRST TIER
RZA (the producer, huge success & fame in TV / movies)
Method Man (most famous rapper, well known actor, the casual fan's favorite, the star)
Ghostface Killah (the most prolific, most consistent, most critically acclaimed, the rap fan's favorite)
ODB (if he was still alive. the Clan never recovered from his death. he rivaled Meth for fame and being the favorite, and was the most entertaining member, by far. The Wu albums post-ODB are missing that FUN element.)
SECOND TIER
Raekwon (has the most solo buzz in 2014, lot of high profile collaborations, not really a star though.)
GZA (most lyrically acclaimed, solid solos overall, but puts out material too infrequently)
Inspectah Deck (crucial MVP of some of Wu-Tang's most famous songs, but has a really shytty, boring solo career, unless you count the album with 7L & Esoteric)
THIRD TIER
Masta Killa (dope, had a couple nice solos, but come on, nobody cares.)
U-God (dope, had a resurgence with a couple nice solos, and some fire on 8 Diagrams, but come on, nobody cares, and he has wack moments)
FOURTH TIER
Cappadonna (I don't care if he taught Ghostface how to rap or whatever, he wasn't on 36 Chambers, therefore he doesn't count. It makes no sense to add him to make up for ODB - Cappa is redundant when you already have Rae and Ghost. If he HAS to be a member, fine, but he's going to have his own ranking on the bottom until he spits something amazing like he did that one time about twenty years ago.)

Street would also be in 4th Tier, since he's had some amazing performances on Clan albums. I'm suer he's on this one as well
Street over Killah Priest?
You can also look at the tier stuff from this angle.
Second Tier - Another Wu album/tour can only help their profile/solo career/potential earnings
First Tier - Does solo shows frequently, possibly takes a pay cut from doing a group show, a weak Wu album can reduce the demand for their solos

As far as Wu status? I'd say they're equal, because Priest has never been on a Clan album. Even Prodigal has.
As long as U-God gets the last half eaten slice, it's all good 
True. Now that I think about it he HASNT ever been on a Clan album
Breh even RZA gets
talking about that flood. Some Classic shyt was lost during that tragedy. I think even some Ghost stuff for Ironman got lost during that period too if im not mistaken. That shyt is like the Holocuast for Wu fans
Cabadonna and U-God should be lucky they haven't been used as blood sacrifices
