Because NWA is far bigger and the stars of the group are infinitely bigger. Like this isn't even worth debating.

The the least popular dude in the group Mc Ren even went platinum as a solo artists (deserving so as he was fire) but that's just an example.

Dre, Cube and Eazy are unarguably all top 10 biggest names in rap history.

You do know good movies featuring little known celebrities/musicians are made all the time right? I don't see where this "bigger" sh!t is coming from. Like that's a prerequisite for a good movie. And cats in here acting like Wu-tang are the Bush Babees :heh:

And don't get me wrong...I definitely feel NWA should have had a movie WAAAAAY before Wu-Tang but let's not try to run with this silly narrative that Wu aren't compelling enough for a movie treatment.

Too much skeletons in the closet for that. As if the FBI files and stories we know of ain't enough...

I think a Wu movie would be much better, but the question from the OP was why was NWA movie made before Wu and it's pretty simply why, they had 3 members in the group who are some of the top 10 biggest name ever in rap music. Two of which are rich as fukk and turned into moguls.

I'm not saying a Wu movie doesn't deserve to be made, it does but it's obvious why NWA was made first.

To me it's like asking why someone would make a Jay movie before a Nas movie, for the same reasons, even tho I think like this, a Nas movie would be better, the Jay one makes much more sense financially and mainstream wise

My bad, Fresh, i thought you were trying to imply that a Wu movie shouldn't be made because they don't have any big stars. I agree, a NWA movie definitely should have been made way before a Wu movie.

I'm starting to think that some of you dudes are right though, about a Wu movie won't ever be greenlighted because of the in-house headbutting and also because of some of the infamous less known things encapsulated within the Wu story that they might want to be put out there..

- The Wu have an extensive FBI File that state they were gun running, had Wu affiliates spreading the Blood gang midwest, selling drugs.

- One of their most prominent members, Ghostface, had a well known former Italian mafia henchman, Michael Caruso, as his manager for years. Google him. He himself could make a dope movie. Ghost also used to be styled by one of the Mob wives.

- Power, one of the 3 individuals considered the Wu heirarchy, is one of the most mysterious street individuals in hip hop history.

- 7 out of the 9 original members are felons. Facts. These dudes aren't make believe street n!ggas. You wouldn't have to fabricate stories of them beating n!ggas up, robbing n!ggas, having shoot outs, selling drugs. These n!ggas actually did it.

- Their large list of affiliates consist of a bunch of wild dudes...a cat that shot a n!gga for resting on his whip, a n!gga who ran over a dude and killed him while he was dusted, and a n!gga who's still currently in jail because feds say he assaulted a woman in his Harlem home.

And there's way more.

Expalin to me again why Wu would have been jealous of Bone Thugs? Consequence ain't say nothing remotely close to that. You must not have seen that video.

Success,national love,superstardom,bigger records need I go on:sas1:? This aint even up for debate,Meth already called Rae and Ghost haters....And who was the one starting shyt as Wish Bone made his way through that Def Jam party?with the aura of a superstar all over him:obama:?Ghostface Killa.

Consequence said it was because they didn't want west coast artist there,first of all Bone aint west coast,and second of all I never heard of them Wu nikkas runnin up on any other west coast nikkas....So apparently the no fly zone was only for Bone Thugs,funny coincidence I guess:sas1:

But relax I'm here to dismiss Wu on behalf of the legendary NWA,not Bone Thugs....at least you bowed down and humbled yourself to admit NWA is a bigger deal and better movie....You fukked it up by saying Wu was more talented though,i guess I'll give that to you as a group,long as you don't mean individually.
