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
Good book , I bought his audio book, his voice was perfect for it
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 !
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
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 my favourite Wu member' the way he develops, delivers his lyrics with the deep raw voice make it pop off
His voice is unmatched
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
U God is very underrated !!! I love all of his solo projects !!!
Facts 👍🏾 I bought every last one of them
U god was always my favorite
If you've seen him perform your perspective on him changes. At least it did for me. The dude is magnetic on stage.
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!
He just said u-gods rhymes weren’t intricate….that’s how I know u not a wu fan
I dont think anyone outside the group knew how tight U-God and Method Man were and what they meant to each other.
U God bless the microphone on Bells of War. Godbless him and his family
Thx bro you set the record straight.
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
He has some of the most legendary words from the Wu.
Semi automatic. Rap. Ful metal jacket
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.
WUtang is the greatest group for the simple fact there is no weak link
Glad you're back. Love from india
Thank you fam 🙂
UGod..Golden Arms...super dope.
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!
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.
Interesting video. Keep them coming
Thank you Bridget 😊
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.
yo, he is definitely the least appreciated, but people sleep on his first album which is a straight up WU TANG BANGER!! no question!
If you don't respect Golden Arms, you are not a fan. Check the Kung Fu flick. The Kid with the Golden Arms.
The way Golden Arms set the bar to begin “The Mystery of Chessboxin’” was fire!!!
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
They’ve always been equal in my opinion I appreciate each one’s uniqueness.
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.
U-God also killed the song Knuckleheadz on The Only Build For Cuban Links album by Raekwon. do your homework on that track...
Dopium is one of my favorite Wu albums.
I met U-God back over 20yrs ago and he was a righteous mf'er. Real solid, stand up guy. More power to him.
Loving these videos my man! Keep them coming please 😁
U God is a G
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 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
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.
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
U God is dope all luv!!!
Him & ghost on cher chez la ghost was nuts
Dope collab for sure
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 …
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
UWEY!!!! 💪🏾🗣️🔥🎙️👐🏾
Redemption was a dope album...very
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.
Not me, love baby U
Golden arms is amazing u god is underated
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 Appreciate The Mention #DontaeLives 👐🏾
This is dope..i love your content bro💥
Thank you. I'm humbled.
Im here for Ugod! Me and my brother were talking about this straight topic! Ugodzilla Ugod is illa!
Well Said & Well Done 👏🏽
U-GOD WILL ALWAYS BE LOVED.
The only thing bad I can say about u god is that he's not on more tracks...
REAL MC hard rhymes Cool Tough Intelligent the God right there
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.
U god always remind me of the 2001 ludacris lol especially with the braids.
U God Dope dope dope
I think U-God is underrated as fuck. Dude is dope. He is his own man, and can look himself in the mirror and likes what he sees. Same as Deck, one of if not the nicest Wu emcee.
Man what are you talking about, he holds his own and my fav
The fact that ODB wasn’t writing his own raps and RZA was the one wrote everything he did sort of broke my heart
??? Fr
That’s not true at all. He wrote all his own shit. Shimmy Shimmy ya was a freestyle that turned into an actual song.
@@MaskedM4n if you watch the wu documentary rza his cousin wrote all of his shit. Odb himself called and left a voice message to rza and asked him to write 4 new songs for his unreleased album under roc a fella as Dirt Mcgirt. Nonetheless Rest In Peace Dirt ✌️
@@ransavage4194 damn I gotta check it out then. On Wikipedia, I only saw 1 song with rza as a songwriter for odb’s music. That’s crazy
@@MaskedM4n RZA was the wu tang clan himself since he was prince rakeem
He was actually my fav for some reason
U-God had hard delivery. Just a raw style.
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 ‼️ 🔥
His verse on Black Jesus is on par with Cappadonnas Winter Wars verse. U God has some Bars!!!!
Do the careers of all the Wu members
Thanks for the suggestion.
More than Masta Killa?
U God got the title track for the video game.
Killa.....?
he only gets the least love because ppl straight up forget masta killa exists
That's because MK plays the background and doesn't try to showboat.
His first album was ill
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!
Ugod is the gangsta hustla out of them all.
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🖤
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
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!
I feel like one of the things U-God and the other Wu members were missing outside of music was art direction and general style like the star members had. Think about the image members like ghost or Rae had. Things like the fashion ,album covers and stuff like that are what drew people in contributed the large stamp they left on the game niggas wanted to be them and like them
One of my favorite examples in the wu is masta killa. When his style was fresh he dropped that crazy verse on chessboxin’, but didn’t get big because he couldn’t find a style beyond the name.
Im literally just now learning that there is a narrative that U god is the worst wutang member I thought it was an undo solemn thing that it was masta killa
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
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..
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
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?🤜❤️🔥🤛
U God. My dude 4 bar killah
U Gods Venom stays on my playlist. His verses are dope. You trippin.
Venom was nice AF , its a front to back banger
There's no weak links in Wu Tang.
i think masts killa is the least loved lol
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.
He’s one of the best 😂
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.
Golden Arms is a top tier, listen to his verses and especially on triumph and u would know, maybe he was hot headed yes
U-god is dope. I have all of his solo albums. I dont know what ya'll on.
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
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
Dude you need to listen black Jesus from Ghostface Ironman album, UGod is nice, you not a Wu tang fan.
I would love to see a wu massacre with u god master killer and inspectah deck
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
The problem with Golden Arms was that there were too many hands in the pot production wise. Had RZA produced the whole album, and upped the quality of his beats at the time, it would have sounded more cohesive and not all over the place. U God had the fire in his lyrics, the album just suffered from poor production
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.
U-God?! The weakest?! Bullshit.U-G is ultimately underrated
