Wu-Tang Clan is one of the most beloved collectives in music. The nine (sometimes ten) man crew out of Staten Island burst out the gate in 1993, and have been embedded in popular culture ever since. The brainchild of RZA (aka Prince Rakeem) after his own solo career fizzled, the crew is comprised of uniquely talented emcees Ghostface Killah, GZA/Genius, Raekwon the Chef, Inspectah Deck, Masta Killa, U-God, Ol' Dirty Bastard (RIP), RZA and Method Man; with Cappadonna as a tenth member who was unavailable for the group's first album.

Across 30 years of music, these rhymers have set a standard for lyrical wizardry; combining Five Percenter teachings, a love of kung-fu imagery, and their uniquely idiosyncratic personalities and verbiage into a heady brew. There is truly nothing else like Wu-Tang Clan in Hip-Hop. We tried to pick 25 of their best songs.
