yeah, it's hard to believe sometimes that they made it work in a rap group w/ 9 egos. But they spread it around, you usually hear at least 4 or 5 different rappers on every song. They were all so individually talented, but they just said let's all come together and create a force that no one can touch. It's bad not many groups in recent years have aspired to be as innovative as the Wu. I think the Roots and J5 are cool, doing their own thing. To me it just seems like there is more of a place for smart rap than all that clubhopping stuff which is totally lacking in inspiration and creativity. Listen to the samples the Wu uses, that may not be creative, but it's thinking outside the box, and throwing stringed instruments into their music. This article I read once said that RZA was a modern day composer, like if Mozart was born in the ghetto, this is how he would have been.
