So the first verse is Shabazz the Disciple, who is not actually a member of Gravediggaz, and the third verse is Killah Priest, also not a member. Rza and Frukwan (Rzarector and The Gatekeeper) are the second and fourth verses respectively, and they are members. There are two other members who don't have verses, which are Prince Paul (the Undertaker) and Ill Poetic (The Grym Reaper). Being a Wu-Tang nerd, this is all interesting to me. Shabazz the Disciple and Killah Priest both made their debuts with the verses here, and went on to be two of the more prolific extracurricular Wu-Tang affiliates, both as members of the Sunz Of Man group. i know nobody cares.

Danny Galaxxy Premo doesn't rap so you can't throw them in there. The reason I don't consider Dre is because he doesn't write his rhymes. Hav and Rza write their rhymes and hold there own against their counter parts. Da Doggpound and Snoop and Eminem always by far overshadow Dre's verse, even though one of them wrote it.
