Weakest Link: Tiny Now you know her as a reality TV starlet and T.I’s baby mama but back then Tiny was only known as “the light skin one” in Xscape. Only after the group disbanded did her talents as a producer become known. She and former groupmate Khandi Burruss won a Grammy for writing TLC’s smash hit “No Scrubs” in 1999.

Michael "Bass" McCray

Weakest Link: Michael “Bass” McCary … spoken word artist? Michael was better known for his deep baritone voice that either intro’d the track or garnished the bridge in the middle. He was lovingly referred to as “the one with the cane”. He left the group in 1999 due to health issues.

Wu-Tang Year they debuted: 1992 There is way too many of these dudes to name but we can all agree that we know Method Man, Raekwon, RZA, GZA, Old Dirty Bastard, Ghostface…even some of the more obscure ones get respect on a good day but there’s one that has been named as the weakest link for lack of skills.

Pretty Ricky - The rest of them

Weakest Link: Everyone except Pleasure P Marcus "Pleasure P" Cooper got it right when he left in 2007 to pursue a solo career. The other guys tried to keep the show going but their ridiculous stage names and simulated sex are a bit WTF.
