Facts: He only appeared on two tracks on "Enter The Wu" because he was not available at the time when they were recording the album.
Well, this is just yet another one of the Wu-Tang Talent's shown, U-God! Of course, everyone should know him. He many many appearances on other members albums and has released one of this own, Golden Arms Redemption. He hits hard when it comes to doing work with his clan. His best work is with them, so it wouldn't be a surprise for him not to be on any of their albums. His first solo, Golden Arms Redemption, was a different kind of Wu Album. With guest appearances by such fellow rappers like; Leatha Face, Inspectah Deck, Method Man, Hell Razah from Sunz of Man, and Raekwon. And with executive producers: Rza and U-God it has 15 tracks, so get it today. He said it took him over 8 months to get this album up and it sure was worth the wait. This is probably the most underground release from the Wu in a while, but is still a great album, epically for his first one. U-God stated that this was a great-quality album, and it was time for his 'Redemption.' Many people down-graded his album- and said it wasn't good. But a lot of others tend to disagree with that, and think it's one of the best Wu albums the year.
U-God, he is a man with a talent of lyrics and voice. I think he is one of the most potential members of the Wu. He only appeared on 2 tracks on "Enter the Wu" 'cause at the time he had his own problems to worry about. The first real track he was on that many people heard him for the first time was on the "High School High" soundtrack. Featured with Inspectah Deck and Street Life called "Semi Automatic: Full Rap Metal Jacket." But, later he came upon Wu-Tang Forever, which made him a star. He is known for putting out verses that mean something. He is never off-topic. Some of the rhymes he comes up with are quite notable, and stand out when your listening to it.
He is known to have a short fuse at some times, temper wise (he's known to get mad a lot). He grew up in Staten Island with the other members for the Wu. His only appearances on Enter The Wu: 36 Chambers were on "Da Mystery Of Chessboxin'" and "Protect Ya Neck." He made up for that in Wu-Tang Forever, when he appeared on most of the tracks. You can hear him on any other member's album like Raekwon- Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, Ghostface- Ironman/Supreme Clientele, Gza- Liquidswords, Inspectah Deck- Uncontrolled Substance and CappaDanna- The Pillage. He was also featured on a track with Cypress Hill called 'Killa Hill'. U-God means "The God Of War," which was explained on his album, Golden Arms Redemption. It is also to be said he doesn't use any weapons (in fights), because he doesn't need them. He is able to take-on whole armies and defeat them, by himself and with no weapons. I believe his record company is Wu-Tang Records with Loud. U-God also did a verse on each of the wus new singles for the W (The Jump Off and Gravel Pits.)
