After what is probably 30 years it's clear to even the most passionate wu genital equestrian that some of these guys are dumb.
Even if you don't think any of them are dumb, there are still levels.
I would say, imo, the only ones that are average or above are rza, method man, maybe masta killa and gza, while ghost's only limitation is his underexposure and rearing environment. Otherwise he's obviously a very bright guy.
Not surprising, these are the only members that are making any semblance of revenue off their 30 years of hard work, though means that are different but all amount to capitalizing on what fans liked about them. Except Method man who killed his career by revealing that he's a very sensitive. I would still give him credit for being able to do interviews, which most members literally can't.
that being said. I think Chef is an epic dumbass. I like his music in the 90s, but everything the guy does is just dumb. I'm hearing that he's the reason they can't do a reunion album because he wants to get paid 'upfront', and he has a 'single' out with estelle as if ANY RAPPER has needed a female RnB singer in their 'singles' since 1993 when RnB was bigger than Hip Hop.
I think someone with more sense would have realized that he needs to stop fucking with Rza, who is superior to him in rank and person. I don't think the guy has ever realized that Rza made him 100%. Rza made his persona, theme's, best album (who's glory he's stuck in), etc etc and once given a chance to shine (immobilairty) he was completely convinced that he didn't need Rza or Ghost () to survive...he instead opted to put method man on there because he wanted to capitalize on Meth's fame, which came from Meth capitalizing on the fact that people see him as cool and fun.
Chef needs to realize that if he's going to be successful, he's going to be successful with Rza because that's just what it is. Wu-tang was great because of Rza. Only Ghost has proven to have the creative capacity to survive outside of Rza's wing but even at that he co-created 36 Chambers so that wasn't a question.
