The WU were Big compared to WHO?
If you or your immediate circle wasn't checking for Wu
but Wu at the height of their popularity....which I'd say would be around '97....sold 4 million with "Wu-Tang Forever".Which is as much as any of the superstars of that era.
Fred.
I was a kid so I can't speak on how heavy it was in the clubs or anything major BUT that song and Cream were all we talked about on the playground 
and I'm from the DC area so in general it depends on where you were I guess. The kids older than us messed with Wu so as the younger kids, we thought Wu was cool. A guy who taught me in high school is also an alum of that same high school and he said his last three years there, all you'd hear in the parking lots was Wu, Pac, Big and Bone. And that's a high school in PG county which is damn near all black if not completely all black minus that white woman I saw jogging on my way to work the other morning. This was the first rap song I memorized word for word though and while I love Tical I still want an album from 95 Method Man because that year?

So Puffy is responsible for the Two Biggest Wu Tang Hits, lol:
my breh @Tony Muthafu%*in Tubbs does not like East Coast rap at all 
..at least you know your boxing though

On & Off
But never seen it...not even once. And the box probably comprised approximately 35% of my TV time as a yungin... might've been a regional thing. I suspect nikkas from my area just never called the joint in...as i said, where i'm from Wu-Tang was just never all that relevant.
Lies. You're a clown. I have a cousin from DC and he and his homies were big Wu fans. You literally had to be trying to avoid the Method Man video not to have seen it til this day.
Highly unlikely that everybody has these aunts, cousins & uncles coming out the woodwork in DC claimin to be WU fans (with no receipts produced) when i've spent damn there my entire life in this city without running into one...JUST ONE
...nikkas down here don't fukk wit no bamma ass WU, generally speaking. Simple as that. You can conjure up all the 
you want. That's just a clear cut fact....and if they did they'd be the source of ridicule in their community.But being that they share your :cornballbrother: lineage and bloodline...your claims may actually have some merit.

Let me guess... Bowie High? Frederick Douglas?

GTFOH clown.
he is clearly trolling, nikkas in DC fukked with a little bit of everything especially back in the day
considering DC never really had a established HH scene of its own
Yea, don't even know why I'm encouraging his bullsh!t.
Everything...BUT Wu-Tang
On the real...nobody was rockin' wit any of that fuazi azz 90's NY hip hop scene outside of Big, then X & Jay in the late 90's-Early 2000's, and that's reality. the whole Wu, Mobb Deep and to a lesser extent Nas barely got any play over here in these streets. ...shyt just wasn't up to par compared to what was being produced by every other region.
And here's a challenge for anybody that's claimin to be from DC or the metro area and supposedly listens to WU.
Name me a go-go band that has ever covered Wu-Tang song since they were sooooooo popular over here it should be easy, right?
I know i could easily pull up covers of groups i said was popin over here.
