That logo is an enduring symbol that people are still tattooing onto their bodies to this day. They had their own slang, and an ethos that incorporated martial arts, comic books, crime tales, Five Percent teachings/spirituality, wrestling, etc. that endeared them to many different demographics. Each member was distinct in style and voice, RZA's production was unique and tailored to match, and their initial releases contained incredible music. They presented themselves as larger than life characters unified by brotherhood and purpose, and they were regularly introducing new talented characters to their universe. And honestly, you can still hear (and see) their influence in a lot of the popular indie hip-hop being made today, especially beat/production wise. The relationship between Roc Marciano and KA can be traced back to the GZA giving them placements on his Pro Tools album. Raekwon is on the intro of Westside Gunn's most recent project.

Their legacy and impact can not be minimized.
