Besides C.R.E.A.M, what other megahits did Wu Tang Clan have as a group?

[Billy Ocean]

One, you and your butthurt feelings can go somewhere calling someone a bytch, you're the one coming across as a bytch, fully exposed with your panties pulled to the side.

Real hip hop? nikka, there are hundreds of acts that make real hip hop and make it listenable. And this is a discussion about bone and wu...what about bone music is twerk music? Gtfoh with irrelevant "insults" all caught up in your feelings stanley

don't be mad babe. It is what it is. Again, you make yourself obsolete in this discussion when you play yourself and type shyt like "there are hundreds of acts that make real hip hop and make it listenable". Wu-Tang aren't "listenable"??? Get the fukk out this thread. You are a perfect example why a lot of dudes don't take females opinions on hip hop seriously.

The whole fact they got so big off underground sound is a testament to them n why people around the world felt that realness. Wu didn't have to try sounding soft to sell records like bone did with crossroads.

Wu had an angle as well, the whole temple of shaolin, 9 member mystique thing caught on huge with white boys and Asians. And for every soft song (don't know why a rip Song for the man who put them on is "soft" but whatever) bone had twice as many hard hitting, real hood anthems as well

In the many wu-tang blah blah blah thread you'll find just as many men agreeing that wu isn't listenable....in those threads I've also said their solo projects are much better than their group albums, so this isn't some blind hate. I rock with them, just they aren't the GOAT group

The obligatory "Asian and whiteboy for Wu-Tang" mention. Ya'll clowns on your A game today

I don't think he's going off of the hip hop community though, I think the argument is based on billboard and single sells or chart positions. If we got it from the hip hop community, it would probably be a different discussion entirely and would go in so many different directions. Shook Ones part 2 is a HUGE song by hip hop standards and definitely a classic in the genre and even outside of it to a degree, but it's not a big billboard song so that would be the difference

Shook Ones is a perfect example. So is TROY. I think what the OP is talking about is irrelevant.

Lies. Quit it hun.

Here's the thing, though - there's no such thing as a "hit" without the Billboard charts.

That's where the term "hit" comes from, it's a "hit" if it "hits" the charts, based on spins.

So a "HOOD Mega Hit" is not that if it didn't hit the charts. That's subjective anyway, because some records are more popular in different hoods.

This is 100% wrong.

U see wu tang symbols spray painted on walls around the world from eastern Europe to Cambodia to Timbuktu

Y'all need to fukk outta here for real. Wu tang is the most influential group in history, period. The only artist that made as much/more of an impact in hip-hop is 2pac

I disagree with this post to some extent, at least with how you're justifying their status. Yes Wu is some worldwide phenomenon with people wearing their shirts and whatever, but they seem like a fad/bandwagon type of deal. IMO that backing isn't all due to their music. Their first album was and definitely influential and is a classic, but I don't really care for their group stuff that much after that, and was nothing all that impressive imo. I feel like the Wu Tang brand/symbol has become equivalent to those livestrong wristbands. I'll still take The Roots disco over Wu's.

 

[mobbinfms]

The thing is that the number of WU solos compared to Bone solos isn't even worth comparing. The number is like 30+ Wu Solo's to maybe 10 Bone solo's. It's not even a valid argument from Wu stans

This makes zero sense. What are you trying to say? Please rephrase.

 

[Taadow]

nikka, that's what I was talking about. What the fukk you thought I was talking about? Did you read my posts?

The part you challenged in @dora_da_destroyer 's post was the idea that Wu isn't seen as the consensus greatest group by others.

Thank you, Add "Who Shot Ya". Since when has the Billboard Charts ever been the final judge of the Classic Iconic songs in Rap. Sure some of the successful Billboard songs end up becoming rap Classics but as I said plenty of Legendary Raps song did not do well on the hot 100. People need to realize, the Billboard hype came in the 90's when everyone started selling. Before that sales weren't as of a big deal. Rappers were totally fine with going Gold on ever album. Sure in the 80's you had Beasties, Run DMC, Fresh Prince Jazzy Jeff selling but the majority of the genre wasn't. The 90's changed that. The bottom line "Cream" is more Classic than tons of rap songs that #1 on the Billboard Charts.

SMH. Whatever nikka. Just make the thread and see the results yourself.

 

[The Real]

Plenty of group albums were going platinum back then without top 10 singles like Hot Boyz, TRU, Junior Mafia, freaking FIRM was certified platinum so what your saying aint some grandiose accomplishment in that era.

How many of those were number #1 albums, though. Wu had a #1 album without top-10 singles...

 

[Ohene]

Singing and harmonizing over melodic beats definitely gonna sell more than straight lyrical fire over gritty, sometimes unpolished straight from the hood shyt like:




at the bytches and soft nikkas like:

Wutang

nikka please. as a child I was a Wu stan...and a Bone fan...but growing up and being objective there is no way anybody can say that on a group basis Wu-Tang made better music than Bone Thugs.

Creepin on ah Come up in itself is arguably better than 36 chambers and its only half the duration. E.1999 without a doubt is better...but arguably equal. Art of War?? WAY better than Wu-Tang Forever at this point.

The art of war is a seamless album. Only skppable is 7 Sign

Oddly enough, I am saying this with 36 Chambers album cover as my android wallpaper

The Wu pulled about 20,000 people in an open air show in my town of Quebec city this summer, a French speaking Province in Canada.

Bone Thugs N Harmony couldn't have filled a 100 spot venue up here if they gave free tickets.

This thread is stupid
