They all had something to bring to the table.
GZA - put out the least garbage, and always made you think.
Meth - rediculous flow, and ultra cool, became iconic, but skills fell off.
ODB - most gifted with incredible timing, and voice control. And just plain fun to listen to. Though his albums fell off, as his brain slowly imploded.
Ghostface - sick flow, intense atmosphere, even though his lyrics rarely made sense.
Raekwon - All around quality, and a toughness that helped beef up the crew.
RZA - terrible MC, but the best hip hop producer of all time. As one of the fonding members (ODB was the other), he helped keep the group together, and always made sure they had a unique sound.
Inspectah Deck - all around good MC, but got left in the background.
Ugod - well...he just sucked balls. I hated everything he ever did.

He was great at ordering pizza when they had studio sessions.

Are you shitting me? He's the fucking best. He's one of the few that actually sounds like he's into his rhymes, it's amazing. His verse in Triumph is the best shit in rap ever.
Additionally, all of you that like Ghostface Killah are weird. He sounds like he's 10.
Finally, we all know that this is the greatest rap album ever produced, EVER.
Wu-Chronicles is a close second, if only for 4th Chamber.

For me, sometimes it just did not sound like he was making much sense, and was just saying words, much like Ghostface. Yes, the RZA had some great tracks, but imo he was at his best when just producing and keeping the group together.
PS - I knew somebody would jump on me for saying it. But hell, yeah I said it, so what? Wanna fight?
PPS - OMG hip hop causes violence!

No haiku here, but to continue

Meth has the most iconic sound...so sick. RZA and ODB are at the top as well both for their insane individual style and dope lyrics. It's a hard choice still...WU TANG CLAN AINT NUTTIN TO FUCK WIT!

rakim
The most recent POUND magazine's main article was about this. They asked several current big name rapper's who they thought was the all time best mc... they overwhelmingly said The god Rakim Allah. Nas came in second. You could literally take Rakim's vocals from any of his classic traxx, and put them over a modern day beat and the flow would be seamless. The guy's style doesn't age, and that's that he's been out since the mid 80's. Like his lyrics in the CLASSIC video with Nas, Krs1, and Kanye...says:
"Timeless, so age don't count in the booth,
When your flow stays submerged in the fountain of youth"
