Bone Thugs is my favorite group, Wu up there too.

I think Bone is up there with Wu (especially prime for prime), but I wouldn't argue for them being better :yeshrug:

And I'm just talking quality, not impact/influence either. Because Wu easily trumps Bone in that department

How come as individual members they never reached the same success and respect from their peers as did the Wu's individual members? As a group Bone may have achieved commercial success, but have they reached iconic status? Can they produce an album that can be auctioned to the highest bidder that would reach the seven figure bracket? Even their imagery isn't as iconic as Wu. People that don't even listen to Wu want to be down. It's larger than the music, it's legendary now. Forever.


well outside of method man's debut, wutang's solo albums really weren't more successful than bone's.

but as for whatever else youre getting at, its 3 simple reasons:

1. the same reason why inspectah deck's solo didn't do nearly as good as the early wutang releases. bone waited too long to do solos. they were already semi-old school by the time the solos started coming out(aside from flesh).

2. bad deals.

3. wutang is SUPPOSED to have better solos. wutang is more of a crew than a group. theyre a collection of solo artists. 2 of em already had albums out. half the group isn't even from the same borough. meanwhile bone is a tight-knit group that been together since the dirt and came thru in unison with a unique style.

As a group I think Bone are better, if you include all solo discographies I'd probably pick Wu overall. My favourite artist out of all of them is Bizzy Bone then probably Raekwon or Ghostface.

Their solo's were pretty weak TBH. The only one I somewhat enjoyed was Krayzie album.

Who Bone? I love Bizzy Bone's albums personally, got around 3 classics to me. The Gift, Alpha And Omega and A Song For You. He's got some other really dope shyt too, for example The Midwest Cowbody and Heaven's Movie. Really excellent MC and criminally underrated to me. The other members of Bone's solos didn't capture me as much though I fukk with them, Layzie, Krayzie etc... But haven't heard their solos for a while, Raekwon and Ghost got some projects I fukk with and songs. I remember when originally the question was posed and I didn't know who to pick cause a huge fan of both so I listened to their group albums and I enjoyed Bone's more than Wu's, Bone had more dope group songs to me and that's what made me go with them...
