I Always Thought That Wu-Tang Was Corny

[hex]

I tell you what though... if Young Thug rapped the verses from Nutmeg.. a lot of people that love Ghost & Wu, would call it wack and corny. Doesn't make any sense, it just sounds good.

Scientific, my hand kissed it
Robotic let's think optimistic
You probably missed it, watch me dolly dikk it
Scotty Wotty copped it to me, big microphone hippie
Hit Poughkeepsie crispy chicken verbs throw up a stone richie
Chop the O, sprinkle a little snow inside a Optimo
Swing the John McEnroe, rap rock'n'roll
Tidy Bowl, gun hold pro, Starsky with the gumsole
Hit the rum slow, parole kids, live Rapunzel
But Ton' Stizzy really high, the vivid laser eye guy
Jump in the Harley ride, Clarks I freak a lemon pie
I'm bout it, bout it - Lord forgive me, Ms. Sally shouted
Tracey got shot in the face, my house was overcrowded
You fake cats done heard it first
On how I shytted on your turf that time

I would give Young Thug props for that verse if he could do a "Child's Play", or "Impossible"....but he can't. So it's a moot point.

And for the record I don't like those rambling ass Ghost verses like this, where he's spitting gibberish. But he gets a pass for them because he has a ton of songs that make perfect sense. People act like his whole discography is like "Nutmeg".

plus they were dictionary rappers at times
"the proton neutron
Sally with the crouton dippin in the Yukon Supernova yoga, dosia, ambrosia crane and cobra"

Nah. There lyrics were coded with heavy 5% game. Non NY nigggas couldnt understand it.

But that verse is garbage.

U white b?

In what world was Wu-Tang ever comparable to No Limit?

Wu-Tang is a joke....can't remember anybody ever taking them seriously back in the day.

You must from the deep south or something.

Completely disagree.

I do believe though that ODB was one of the corniest rappers in history next to Wyclef and Vanilla Ice and Eminem. For the life of me I do't understand how ODB was praised so much.

if someone like that came out today we would call him wack. We know each group always has that one wack member...i wish dudes would just own up to that one person when it came to wu tang.

The first ODB album is fire. Again if come from a grimy ghetto buying Chinese takeout through bulletproof glass youll understand. If not then go to listening to Master P or other bama rap.

Rae and Ghost weren't rapping about goofball shyt, it was mostly hood content.

Rae and ghost were like mobstyle mixed with Rakim.

thats whats up
my first apartment was on Adam Clayton Powell
i can "kind of" understand how someone can think the Wu was corny but only once white folks really started embracing them like that
cause i had partners who was like, "na this shyt aint for us no more" but they was still kickin that 5%er knowledge in their raps
to each his own i suppose
thats the greatest rap group ever imo
cause they let the world know that the black man is IN FACT GOD and kept it moving on

I was never a big fan of them...Im 33 btw

After 98 people lost interest in grimey sounding NY hip hop. I all became about Manny Fresh and Swizz beats. In otherwords your missed the boat.

I lived in both philly and pittsburgh and no limit was huge in pittsburgh, I guess it all depends on where you grew up at.

my cousins from atl don't really mess with the wu that much neither outside of metg, them nikkas are early cash money and three 6 mafia stans to the bone

He'll no wutang is nothing like odd future. Don't let the kung-fu gimmick fool you

With at said method and rea and ghost are the only ones from the group that I listen to. I inspectah deck is cool. I respect rza as a producer but I just could never jive with the other cats

It wasnt a gimmick. Kung fu flicks weren big in east coast ghettos. They use to show them at the theaters in Times squares back when times square was full of hookers dealers and pimps.

 

[ZEB WALTON]

Says a lot about someone to start not liking wutang because white people started to like them during their most pro black era (wuforever).

Anyone on that tip is corny and has issues with themselves. Pro black fans letting white people ruin hip hop for them?changing what you want cause white people enjoy it too? Insecure much? Sounds like a Tom to me

Pittsburgh aint Philly. Pittsburgh is almost a midwest city. Philly is undoubtedly east coast.

Hip hop is regional and generational. Outside Scarface and Outkast I refused to take Southern rap seriously.
