Could Bootcamp have even been bigger than The Wu ?

[WIA20XX]

Nervous/Wreck records seems to have played them. But I have always thought if Black Moon followed up Enta da Stage with a timely album...

Or did they lack the star power?

 

[Knucklehead]

Ruck and Rock had star power but For The People album was an all time fumble that they never recovered from.

No. And I'm the biggest Boot Camp stan on the planet. But they didn't have the crossover appeal of the Wu. Significantly smaller female fan base. Had Priority Records made them a Priority, I don't doubt for a second they would have been much bigger and had a few plaques under their belt. But Wu is the biggest and greatest hip-hop act of all time. Nobody was reaching their status.

What time frame are you looking at?

In terms of crossover, Underground crowd to the the mainstream r&B crowd, or from black music into white pop music?

With respect to women, late 92 early 93, I would be very surprised if there were a lot of casual female fans checking for either protect your neck/ method Man or how many MCS?

Bigger than NWA?
Bigger than death row?
Bigger than Outkast?

Let me guess, this is a havoc and prodege that you prefer

 

[Tommy Gibbs]

no. And I'm a huge BCC fan, but it was never going to happen. The Beatminerz are some of my all time favorite producers

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

Truthfully Wu Tang Clan was never meant to work it just did their references and branding was very niche for hiphop at the time so in many ways they were an outlier.

All that e thugging you doing doesn't take away from the fact that 2Pac wasn't trying to link up with no Mystikal like he was with BCC.

And Mystikal is a convicted rapist. You e thugging it out for a rapist means you are a rapist supporter.

An interesting side question, is what happened to the beatminers? You telling me that they could not have had a run similar to buckwild and other of the great producers from the '90s?

I think they did one remix for a Lord Digga, and not too much after that. Shouldn't Westside Gunn give them a call?

If Pac had tried to link up with some New Orleans nikkas instead of more dusty NYC nikkas he'd still be here

We see Snoop still alive and living his best life
