Stronger '90s rap song? Wu-Tang Clan – “Triumph” VS. Bone Thugs-n-Harmony – “Tha Crossroads”

[mobbinfms]

Bone didn’t bomb atomically so it’s Triumph and it isn’t even close.
Better rapping. By far.
Better beat. By far.

Bone has the singing and Uncle Charles.

Bone has better rapping?

"Triumph". We're going to hear that instrumental playing from the sky when Jesus finally comes back.

Crossroads and the shyt ain't close

Crossroads

 

[Mike Ock]

I love crossroads, but it’s almost an automatic skip when it comes on. You gotta be in a specific mood to hear it.

Triumph never gets skipped.

This pretty much sums up how I view Crossroads too when compared to Triumph.

E.1999 Eternal and Enter the 36 Chambers are my favorite group albums though. Every verse and beat goes perfectly on both of them.

Crossroads

Lol you gotta start making polls

OLD SCHOOL TRICK
TO FORCE YOU TO POST IN
HIS THREADS INSTEAD OF VOTING
AND REMAINING SILENT.

Triumph>>>>>>B.O.N.E.'s existence.

Deck, Ghost and Rae's verses>>>>>any B.O.N.E. verse.

Ghost wasn't rapping about shyt.

 

[TripleAgent]

Ghost wasn't rapping about shyt.

Yes he was, and that verse was flames.

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

Triumph

Yall brews lying if CROSSROADS comes on yalll skipping that shyt.


You can only play that song like a few times a year or when you in the mood to pretend like you wasn't just crying.

 

[THE K-MAN]

Triumph

Never liked Crossroads

Tha Crossroads isn’t a rap song. It’s a masterfully crafted spiritual with lyrics and themes that touch the soul.

I remember watching that show on MTV called Loveline where people would call in for help with their personal problems. One girl called in and said whenever she heard the song “Crossroads” she would get an orgasm. It definitely touched her soul

Heads always feel like it's some kind of betrayal to acknowledge something from somewhere else had a bigger impact with more people.

Outside of Pac and Kanye, Crossroads was probably the closest thing rap music has had to a modern Negro spiritual. Add in the Eazy tribute and that track went damn near everywhere and touched a lot of people it otherwise wouldn't have.


Triumph is rap/emcee royalty status but it ain't that.
