i would make a couple alterations but for the most part it's on point
my random wu thoughts:
wu tang is my favorite, they are the best. the best crew of all time no doubt about it.
i even like u-god better than most rappers. his solo had some solid cuts and he has delivered several classic verses on the group albums and guest spots on other shit. his shit on rae's first and also ghost's first are both incredible.
i also really like dirty, nigga please is such an excellent, underrated record. and masta too! it's almost not fair to have to rank them lower, because even masta's album... which was far from perfect... was a top 5 record from last year... just DESTROYS all this standard indy shit like eastern conference/defjux/psycho-logical/all these peenlickers that everyone jocks... people ain't got no soul
and INS is underrated as a solo artist/guest. i'm excluding his second album which i didn't even hear but uncontrolled substance is rele solid. "rec room" is a classic. i wish i could find that cd, it's lost somewhere.
and i love ghost but he's not my favorite, i voted rza when this was first put up. i still prefer his first album, which is probably my favorite record ever, but his first 2 are 5/5s. if he didn't have sample trouble for the last two people would be including him in GOAT conversations, rightly including him. and he's got one of the best attitudes of anyone in hip hop.
and people sleep on digital bullet. there's some less good stuff, yes, but about 2/3s of it is as excellent as things get. i remember i got it the day it dropped and played it must be bobby on repeat 24 hours a day for four or five days. with headphones on while i slept. my roommate nearly murdered me.
