U-god has a style that is just completely unique. Its true he never got the success he deserved, but slowly overtime people have started to recognize his greatness. I think as the years go on he will get more and more respect...
It's not unique. It just doesn't flow, or sometimes even rhyme
I have read his book and have so much respect for that dude
He went through a lot. Much respect to him for persevering
Same
I have to be honest I've always felt like he deserved so much more love and respect than he has and me myself has always loved and respected him for his talents but I haven't read the book yet but I will get it on Amazon soon. I always wanted him inspectah deck and Master killah to come out with a Wu massacre together. Maybe they can make that happen one day
I compare U-God to the bass of Wu-Tang. Not only is his voice one of the deepest in the Clan, but like the bassists in most groups it just gets overlooked because it doesnt have that pop/flair the others do. Hes not my fav (GZA and Deck tie that spot) but by no means is he a weak MC.
I like the comparison with the bassist.
He’s not weak …
He dropped mad fly verses … like the one in thriumph for ex
Hes problem is … 1… he’s a diva …bb of the group … always speaking loud and rude …bad energy because he overplaying the « the real street dude credibility « I mean dude now you a star not a street dude no more!
2… Wu are nerds… and he’s not … he and Masta killa are not nerdy…they are streets dude
Great analysis or assessment. And I also agree Deck and GZA are the best in Wu. Deck, Gza and Ghost are my top 3.
@@yannicksimok1216 sorry all the WU is STREER
Great analogy
Semi automatic. Rap. Ful metal jacket
U god was always my favorite
U God bless the microphone on Bells of War. Godbless him and his family
Thx bro you set the record straight.
WUtang is the greatest group for the simple fact there is no weak link
Doggy, I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again… U-God was only on a few tracks on the first album…… BUT he KILLED IT on every track he was on, on Wu-Tang Forever. He was the most improved in that 5-6 year span. Fact.
On the 1st album the man keep going too jail so he missed out U-god he is a lyricist like the rest just he don't out of his way too be a method be a ODB he just be him.
Not me, love baby U
Glad you're back. Love from india
Thank you fam 🙂
U God is dope all luv!!!
Him & ghost on cher chez la ghost was nuts
Dope collab for sure
The guy is dope af.. ties everything down when he's on a track...don't know why he didn't blow as a solo ...that Che Che song with ghost?!!!
One of his most enjoyable performances on a track for sure.
Idk why his verses are some the illest ever written within the Clan...plus UGOD is RAW...and he one if the realest...people don't know
Your buggin! You should title this video the most over looked member but that's abt it. U god is my favorite member after Ghost. I don't think you really understand what you're talking abt!
I liked him on 8 Diagrams & Dopium was a nice album 👍I ran into him locally a few times as well. Cool dude 👍
Train Trussle & Classic
Moonwalk n da club.
Dopium was sick. Wu-Tang with meth was fire.
@Jose Martinez That's definitely one of those "If you know, you know" albums.
I dont think anyone outside the group knew how tight U-God and Method Man were and what they meant to each other.
His first album was ill
Interesting video. Keep them coming
Thank you Bridget 😊
U-God had hard delivery. Just a raw style.
Loving these videos my man! Keep them coming please 😁
Do the careers of all the Wu members
Thanks for the suggestion.
i think masts killa is the least loved lol
He’s one of the best 😂
U God Dope dope dope
Being underrated doesn't take away the greatness in you.Only afew people have the gift to see and appreciate greatness in somebody.Personally ,I think U-god was far much better than RZA(I love the multi-talented RZA ofcourse).You deserve your own respect for mentioning U-god.Otherwise some of us miss the real hip-hop.
If he’s the least loved, then none of them are loved they are individuals but they are all 1 and that’s it, I hear people calling him the trash one from the group, saying that just means you calling the whole group trash
This is dope..i love your content bro💥
Thank you. I'm humbled.
I love U-God
Nah fam, that title goes to masta killa.
I used to sleep on U'y, not anymore.
Go back and listen to his verses, on any album, UGod is NYCE, he spits darts.
Rza fuqed up the rollout, i heard he lost UGods album in the flood along with Rebel INS.
RZA needed to roll out every core member album first before going killa army sunz of man
Anyway i digress, UGod, don't sleep on U'y
I would love to see a wu massacre with u god master killer and inspectah deck
The title of this clip assures me that I was never crazy 💯😂 Wu, in my opinion, consisted of Dirty (my fav!), Meth, Rae, Ghost, Deck, and RZA: PERIOD 🎯🤷♂️ Anything beyond this was unnecessary..
Your really speaking for yourself here
I god been improving up until this day..everything he put out is dope..he ain’t never shit the bed..and he played his part in the clan..he was the cement to that shit ..I can’t stand if people try to talk down in u god
6:58
I say this and ppl look at me crooked ..I love Method Man but U God is my guy
That's bae fr
Dude you need to listen black Jesus from Ghostface Ironman album, UGod is nice, you not a Wu tang fan.
One of my homies doesn't think ugod is a supreme emcee but he's bugging ugod is dope
U GOD IS MY FAV I DIG HIS DELIVERY~€ 💥💯 #yOunG ©️👻💲🅿️🧩⛩️
Naw Golden Arms ain't weak at all fuck that U-god is on point.
Gotta disagree U-God is my 3rd fav member along side Chef and Ghost, and stand out verse on triumph, all over the wu tang forever album, since to Deadly Melody again on Wu Tang Forever 🔥🔥🔥, y'all sleeping...
i always loved u god, ever since i heard the “raw ima give it to ya” i was hooked. his best verses are da mystery of chessboxin, triumph, impossible, severe punishment, bells of war, and black shampoo is hilariously good. i think cappadonna is the worst member, i skip
most tracks he’s on when his verse comes on lol
Same lol i just can’t make myself like cap
Ugod is not the least loved
Re title this video fam.
I’m probably gonna catch hell for this but RIP ODB but in terms of lyrics he the weakest love him tho but yeah truth hurts
ODB never wanted to be lyrical
His style is always raw and dirty.
And he flows better than most of the clan.
U-God lyrically wasn't that nice now who doesn't get thier proper respect as an Emcee is Masta Killa he has barz and delivery.
You definitely don’t know a damn thing. You definitely not a real wu fan.🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
Go listen to
Dopium
Venom
Redemption
Keynote speaker
@@MrSpilledge 4barkilla I heard those songs before U-God isn't that nice compared to Masta Killa
@@paulmaxwell4953 that was a list of his albums not songs kid. I was trying to figure out if you were actually a Wu fan. Guess not
@@MrSpilledge 4barkilla i heard his songs on those albums keep this in mind everyone has their favorites in the Wu there's a big difference between being a Wu fan and being a U- God fan the only Album I didn't listen too is Venom between some of his barz and his beat selections it's not for me and I'm not going to force myself to like something when I don't because he is a part of The Wu
I think you’re all just romanticizing his failures. You just cannot compare his talents to the rest of the clan members, who’s presence alone was electrifying. Have you ever even been to a Wu-Tang show back in the days? Or even now? You know when the crowd goes crazy? When METHOD MAD jumped on stage. It would turn into almost like a heavy metal concert. U-God NEVER had that effect on n stage or on wax and of course, movies. Yes, he did have fire versus - fine, ok. Everyone else had fire CAREERS. The Purple Tape? IronMan? Tical? Liquid Swords? Come ON… wtf are you guys even TALKING about here? Stop it. He is NOT underrated. He’s rated right where he belongs .
He just said u-gods rhymes weren’t intricate….that’s how I know u not a wu fan
U-God ain't the weakest link at all. Not even a little bit. He's just always about that hustle. Gettin that money from day one. He's never on that sucka shit ya heard?! Much props to Golden Arms and the entire Wu blood kin. 🙌🏾✊🏾
Yooooooo, givin' Golden Arms some respect! That's what's up!
I usually overlooked Ugod. Them lyrics are crazy tho. And he was always cool during the Myspace days. He would answer you back and shared alot of good stuff.
He's my fav tho he ain't with the drama I hardly don't even hear nothing bout em
U God is very underrated !!! I love all of his solo projects !!!
Facts 👍🏾 I bought every last one of them
After reading his book ; u god never really took rap seriously until he saw reaction wu tang was getting from people ; it was always a hobby to him , he was a drug dealer
Exactly.
He had mad skills to be just a drug dealer. I mean damn if he just a drug dealer with the skills he has what does that say about most of the rappers today in which he's better than.
Check his verse in "impossible" so we can talk youngster
That verse is 🔥🔥🔥
His verse on the song, A Better Tomorrow, is classic asf too!
If you've seen him perform your perspective on him changes. At least it did for me. The dude is magnetic on stage.
The fact that people keep saying he’s the weak link let’s me know that none of y’all are real wu tang clan fans💯💯💯
I agree
Facts
For real 💯💯💯
Ain’t no weak link in Wu tang
He’s least loved by fans is what he’s saying …. There’s is no real weak link in Wu Tang
If you don't respect Golden Arms, you are not a fan. Check the Kung Fu flick. The Kid with the Golden Arms.
U God my favourite Wu member' the way he develops, delivers his lyrics with the deep raw voice make it pop off
His voice is unmatched
Just because he might be the weakest in the Wu doesn't mean he's a slouch though. He's still better than most rappers.
There is no such thing as a "WEAK LINK" in Wu Tang
I don't think he's no way the weakest link. As far as solo careers yes but skills not at all. He got mad skills and that's for sure.
Facts
@@markeyosef1579 Facts. Deck's albums also aren't the best but he is the most technically sound Wu member. Deck is the best lyricist I feel.
He is not the weakest
If anyone wants to hear some dope U-god features and songs look for:
"If it's Alright With You"
"To the Rescue"
"Semi Automatic Full Rap Metal Jacket"
"Killa Hill Niggas"
"Element Of Surprise"
"Supa Ninjaz"
"Longevity"
"The Glide"
"No Exit"
"Pleasure or Pain"
"Night the City Cried"
"Mt. Everest"
"Stomp Da Roach"
"Coke"
"Epicenter"
"Exordium"
Hope you get to hear something you haven't heard before.
Intellectuals, FAME, Bellz of War !
If you just named just 3 songs with his dope verses why would you say his verse wasn't intricate. Wake up brother
Nah relax bruh …
HES just on 2 songs on 36 chambers … because of locked up ….that’s y…
Wu fans know that there is just 2 Wu albums…
The rest was RZAs creativity expression over the group …
HES dope on wu for ever …
I feel Masta killa and Cappadonna is up there also people forget bout them way too often also. I love
cappas music, i like U-Gods but hes personality pushes me off somehow.
Masta kill my Fav killz It Alwayz
Dopium is one of my favorite Wu albums.
U-God is a real street legend. That's what I like about him and when you go beneath the surface he is very talented. His solo work is really good. I would encourage people to look into his body of work.
More than Masta Killa?
U God got the title track for the video game.
Killa.....?
UGod..Golden Arms...super dope.
The name change on the saga continues being released under Wu tang instead of Wu Tang clan sounds like a business decision by possibly rza. If they would've released it under Wu tang clan they would owe u-god 1/9th of the profits generated from the group release because in his contract with wu productions U-God is signed to Wu Tang Clan not Wu tang. So by releasing the album under Wu tang he has no legal right to any profit especially because he doesn't appear on the album.
Brilliant insight fam. Thanks for this
Redemption was a dope album...very
U God nice as hell, i love Wu but im not big on Rae & Ghost. Meth, Rza, Deck & U God take the top spots for me! Gza nice but they are my top 4!
ODB wasn't lyrical ! Half the time he was moaning and groaning, but some people will still say U-God is the weakest link !
R.I.P ODB🖤
yo, he is definitely the least appreciated, but people sleep on his first album which is a straight up WU TANG BANGER!! no question!
U-God also killed the song Knuckleheadz on The Only Build For Cuban Links album by Raekwon. do your homework on that track...
The 5 of U let UGod Go this moment l see U on 5 St Manhattan building #3 floor#8 Door#6. My name us Auroa 👸🏾💛💛and l demand U let the God go.
Great content why haven't i seen your videos. I think he is a great lyricist if he wasn't locked up during the first album he would've been more popular
U God go to 36Street Manhattan building 8 floor 7 Door 6 Your Bothers are there. I freed them to. Go be free
U-God was just more low key than some of the other members. He still is Golden Arms. He did have some dope verses. His book RAW was dope too.
U God released the worst solo album of the clan members, Mr. Xcitement. That may also play a role why he is less liked than the other clan members. His other albums are solid to good, my favourite is Dopium, but they were all released independently, rather late and probably not to commercial success. He has many, many great parts on many Wu Tang projects though. His verses on It's Yourz, Black Jesus, Winter Warz (although Cappa steals the show), Killa Beez and his verses on 12 reasons to die are just a few of my favourites and proof that he greatly contributed to the Clan's status in Hip Hop.
Black Jesus verse is one of my all time favorite Wu verses. Dopium is one of my favorite Wu albums.
Cappadonna's the Yin and the Yang is the worst in my opinion. I was going to go looking for that dude after I waisted my money on that.
@@janepatton8100 just listened to Real niggas Real niggas by cappadaona and Prodical son' That Shit had my hyped up' Im Not Black so I laughed at the Image of me and other Caucasians blasting this out in a black area like Easton, St Paul's, St Agnes's, Laurence hills Areas of Bristol England near me
Intellectuals rhyme professional, by Ft U God, Sunz a man, masterpiece.
Golden arms is amazing u god is underated
Stop sleeping on u god
U God is a G
UWEY!!!! 💪🏾🗣️🔥🎙️👐🏾
U-God has his place in the clan. He's not the best, not the most lyrical, not the most charismatic but he brings a strength, a different kinda energy.
I agree with you. Every member adds something to the group
U-God is beyond weak. Havent watched this entire video just but yes, he is buttcheeks an emcee. I have personally helped him write and recod before & it was difficult to say the least. Not only is he the weak link [thought Masta Killa is a close second] in the Wu but he is just an extremely subpar rapper.
Ugod was the biggest drug dealer in the whole group including power. Everybody in the group will tell you that without uGod there would be no Wu-Tang he actually paid for the first album to be made and that's how he got in The group
For me, U-God and Masta Killa are my favorite when it comes to Wu-Tang Clan group albums and features. Just not my favorites for solo albums. U-God always attacks the track like a barbarian and Masta Killa always moves swiftly like a ninja.
I feel U-God is the example of what I call a "Homie Hire". U-God is that cat you hire at your business because ya'll grew up together as kids and he was loyal or ya'll was really tight, so you bring him along so he can eat with you. U-God is certainly not as talented as his clan brothers (no slouch either) in my opinion. U-God is to Wu-Tang, what Silkk The Shocker is to No Limit, from a relational standpoint relative to their respective crews, NOT a talent equivalent.
He has some of the most legendary words from the Wu.
Baby U aka Golden Arms is not in no way shape or form the weakest link 🔗 so we can stop and begin right there. U brought that deep voice, crazy vocabulary, sometimes kept it short but straight 2da point. One of those MC's you had to rewind his verse cause you'd b like wtf he just say? Then re-listen & go OH SHIT that was I'll! 2 me U stood for unique but then again each Clan member was unique in their own special way. Which makes greatness.... Baby U brought that energy not ODB type energy, but like a shot of adrenaline or chugging a Redbull/ Monster Energy drink. All souped up off the ginseng root caffeinated flow that would get u up and ready to throw bow's type shit. Basically u can't have a complete WU-TANG without all the ingredients and U-God is one of those spices that seasons up that pot of G.O.A.T... ✌️🤟🙏🙌🐝 from 93-23 & still reppin solo careers. I think another Wu-Tang Clan album would settle all the differences and drama inda past. Just bring it back to the purest form that original raw uncut grown folks music for the FAN'S who been supporting from day #1...namean?🤜❤️🔥🤛
I'm a Golden Arms fan. Time's running out but U-God's style and bangers transcend gossips and blahblah. Read his RAW book you will understand the mistery of chessboxing.
Cap is shit on too for some reason. You can tell people who don't know hip hop if they don't like U or Cap
U god always remind me of the 2001 ludacris lol especially with the braids.
I Appreciate The Mention #DontaeLives 👐🏾
I was confused when I seen this, I’d honestly say the most underrated are masta killa, Inspectah deck, and capadonna however that doesn’t mean any of them are trash or better it just means they don’t get as much attention as others do for some reason I think they’re all hardcore if your Wu then you represent straight up ‼️ 🔥
I met U-God back over 20yrs ago and he was a righteous mf'er. Real solid, stand up guy. More power to him.
Ironically U God was my favorite member in the beginning...guys U god was in jail for most of the 1st album and 2nd album
U god is probably one of my favourites hes not as charismatic as some of the other members but the dude is dope ..i think everyone of the clan members are just as important they all bring something different to the table
The way Golden Arms set the bar to begin “The Mystery of Chessboxin’” was fire!!!
U God is NOT Yamcha! If anyone fits that bill it’s Masta Killah. His shyt don’t even rhyme most of the time!
Golden Arms is a top tier, listen to his verses and especially on triumph and u would know, maybe he was hot headed yes
