the first run of solo albums were not recorded as solo albums. RZA made beats, then everyone had a chance on them, and then he picked the best verses and decided "okay this is GZA's song now" or "this is going on Ghost's album." That's why the first batch of solo's is really very much posse albums that are just sort of heavily-featuring one member (or 3 in the case of IRONMAN...).
(ya'lls need to read RZA's Wu-Tang Manual -- it's a great book.)
