u god was a better lyricist than ODB. The best ODB rhymes, Gza wrote them. Other than that, he was involved with a lot of rubbish on songs. He just had a lot of charisma.
Black Shampoo was one of my favorite joints on the album. I was anticipating hearing it beause I had always known it was a 70s blaxploitation film and thought they were going to use samples from the soundtrack.His solo work not being up to par is why he's usually considered the weakest and worse member of the group.
U-God is good for a verse/feature but a whole hour worth of just U-God isn't going to be the most enjoyable compared to say the likes of Ghostface, Rae, Gza, Meth, etc.
He's kinda on the same level as Cap, meaning they're both good for some hot verses and features but you won't wanna listen to them for an hour. Masta Killa is underrated and Deck despite his weak solo work, his voice is more memorable and enjoyable than U-God so that makes up for it.
A lot of people say Black Shampoo on Forever is that album's worst song (solely because of U-God) but the beat wasn't bad and if someone like Ghost, Rae, or Meth was on it it'd probably be one of Wu's best songs.
