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

[Billy Ocean]

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.

The pure, unadulterated fvckery in this post.

dudes act like teh wu/rza didnt advance hip hop such a degree in the little 5-10 years they were actually there they been able to milk 20+ year (forever) careers off of. east coast hip hop was still not at its peak until biggie nas and mobb came through. all of which act like wu were the top crew in their reigns at the top too

dude actually said bandwagon with wu. wu tang fans are the least bandwagon-ish people ever.

c.r.e.a.m. is more timeless than almost any other song in hip hop history. ive seen people whole persona change from getting into wu and things alike

if this shyts really about bone thugs. or outkast. or whomever is supposed to be the best group ever over the wu. the musical styles between the groups are vast with the first two making catchy ass music, while wu made something entirely different.... na

 

[Billy Ocean]

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.

Like I said, nikka. If you like your hip hop with harmonizing and singing...good for you. I like R&B too. If you want raw dope rhymes over raw dope beats (REAL HIP HOP) WU-Tang is for you. Get all the way the fukk outta here with that "made better music bullshyt".

They are NOT more popular. That's one of the most unilaterally false statements made in this thread. They SOLD more records. BIG difference. Wu easily have as much, or more fans worldwide than Bone. Sold out arenas, tattoos branded on faces, this generation of fans and artists acknowledgement of their greatness leads me to KNOW so. Bone sold more simply because they make more commercially appealing music. That's it. Bone being more popular is a myth that these jealous Bone stans will wanna Barry Sanders run with in here. Stop it, breh.

I told yall on page 1 this fakkit created this thread in an attempt to goad y'all into a thread about Bone Thugs sales. And to his credit...it worked. Dudes fell for his trolling.

Bone Thug stans intrigue me. They have some sort of inferiority complex that very few other rapper stans display. This cac, and most of the other Bone stans on the Coli, are jealous of Wu's Godlike status in hip hop. It doesn't matter if Bone sold 10x more records than Wu. That doesn't equate to them being better or having a greater legacy than the clan and it burns them. It fukking kills them. These nikkas wish their harmonizing heroes were held in such regal regards as the Clan. Ya'll dudes need to accept it and move on. Bone created some damn good music throughout their career. But they just aren't the Clan.

That's a fair point. But at their peak, I think Bone was more popular.

Incorrect. I'm done here.... Not gonna waste time replying to all these retards who apparently weren't around to see Wu influence first hand. No offense.

Exactly... Wu brought underground, complex rhymes into mainstream consciousness

That's why people around the world respected them

1st Bad Boy ran 97. 2nd Bone had two hit songs with "Look into my Eyes and If I could Teach the World" yet their album sold the same as Wu Tang who didn't have a single Pop hit on the album. Bone was coming off "E.1999 and Crossroads" yet they sold the same records as Wu in 97.

Art of War was a disappointment for Bone. The singles from that album couldn't hold a candle to First of Tha Month and Crossroads. Still - Wu never sold 4 million.

So this stuff is why we should view Wu Tang as the greatest rap group ever? Because they've become a fad? I just don't agree with that guys argument that because people around the world use them as some sort of fashion symbol or whatever that that gives them legitimacy.

No, it's not. Stop with the comedy routine. Nobody outside of the Coli believes that Bone Thugs had a greater legacy or standing in hip hop than Wu. At least not any objective, sane hip hop fan. Cut the bullshyt

Billy's going in on this thread! He's right though...Wu is well above Bone to any objective truly knowledgeable fan. 4 undisputed classics are hard to argue against.

Wu Tang Forever - 4x Platinum

Did you really just give a link to Wikipedia's article for Hit Singles?? This is rock bottom for the Coli.

 

[mobbinfms]

...but they are not songs by "Wu-Tang Clan".
If you have a copy of those singles, the artist on those is not "Wu-Tang Clan".
If you look at the charts and those songs are on them, the artis listed is not "Wu-Tang Clan".

That is the point of this thread.



"Wu-Tang Clan" does have "mega hits" UNDER THEIR GROUP NAME, though.
What you're talkin' about with "Hip Hop Hits" is irrelevant on this topic.

Breh - this "Mega Hit" singles only released by the group topic is as relevant as "Mega Hit" singles made with a left handed engineer. Who gives a shyt? Why are you trying to make us focus on this one very narrow topic at the expense of everything else?

rza aint even stay in hip hop, straight conquered it out and moved on to all time lists. bone.. cmon. whats that guy who was their producer doing these days. wu still gets mentioned in movies, tv, etc to this day. billy, you hit it dead on. they are BURNING inside.

and i love how they always tend to bring up "it doesnt say wu on the cover" shyt. its their savoing grace for continuing teh argument.
