I'm going off discographies, not any one achievement or run. Ghost at his weakest has never been as weak as the others (and they don't get any credit for taking risks when they got bad, they just got bad), Rae's low point was relatively short lived (it was a long period of time, but he himself wasn't bad on those two albums most of the time and he remained a viable feature) and he had the most verses on 36 Chambers (going by a rule that having a verse on 75% of the songs on a group album qualifies the album for your discography, only Raekwon passes for 36 Chambers), GZA is still the most steadying presence on their post-prime group albums and (arguably?) survived the early 2000s drought that hit the rest of the group, Deck is arguably the most engaging member of the group currently and Method Man has the Blackout! era and Tical.


If I had to do the rest it's probably RZA, Masta Killa, ODB, U-God/Cappadonna.
