Before we start, a few ground rules:•Cappadonna is not included. Though he is now considered a member of the group, he is not one of the original nine and, being a traditionalist, I will never consider him an actual Wu member. Sorry, Cappa.
•Wu-Affiliates are not included. In addition to Cappadonna, this includes Sunz of Man, Killarmy, Shyheim, Cilvaringz, Killah Priest, or anyone else listed here. Affiliate is different than member.
•Posthumous projects, specifically Ol' Dirty Bastard's A Son Unique, are not eligible.
•Only 100% Wu-Tang projects qualify. In Hip Hop this can mean a variety of things, but for the purposes of this list, it means any albums with artists from outside the Clan are not eligible. This includes Gravediggaz, Redman & Method Man's Blackout albums and Ghostface Killah's & Sheek Louch's Wu Block. However, it would include Wu-Massacre, which is a collaborative effort between Raekwon, Method Man, and Ghostface Killah, three charter members. The question then becomes, what about a Wu-Tang MC doing an entire project with a non-Wu producer, specifically GZA and DJ Muggs's Grandmasters or Ghostface and Adrian Younge's Twelve Reasons to Die? I went back and forth on this one, but ultimately decided that they should be included, if only because it is a new phenomenon. In the early-to-mid '90s, when Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) was released, producers were not given top-billing credit, even if there was only one beatmaker. Doggystyle wasn't listed as a Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre album and Tical wasn't by Method Man and RZA.
