You got a good thread here breh but the Wu/BONE shyt was a lot deeper than The American Music Awards.
Wu was in Ohio in the early 90's on some street shyt. That's how they eventually signed Killarmy. The FBI files go into more detail about the stuff they were allegedly involved in. Murders, drugs, gun running, etc.
Wisegod Allah, a Wu affiliate got killed in Ohio. Peep the 1:36 mark. "Y'all Steubenville n*ggaz fukked up":
There was retaliation killings that went back and forth for a while in Steubenville, Ohio.
Layzie Bone actually spoke on this in an interview years ago....he said whatever beef they had with Wu had nothing to do with rap. He said it was actual street beef and both sides "got crazy". He refused to go into detail and said that they had squashed it since then.
This is just a guess but I'm assuming the BONE beef started when Wu expanded into Steubenville. The AMA shot was just the public, industry side to the actual beef.

:
Sayin' you been flowin' since back in the day
Ever since we came with Thuggish Ruggish Bone
nikkas been comin' up out the woods singin'
We stole they flow and song
And back in the day how many nikkas
Was really claimin' to be thugs?
nikkas was gangstas
So what the fukk done changed 'em? Huh?
Before you used too rap like the Fu-Schikens
You know my little nikkas brung this style to the table first don't have revisionist history bruh![]()
In that same Layzie interview that was referenced earlier he said that yea both sides got crazy but Wu got CRAZIER. Matter fact...how bout when Ghost by himself set it off on them nikkas at a Holiday party in 96:
Also, in no reality...or alternate reality...is Bone Thugs better than Wu. I don't give a fukk how much them nikkas sold.
No way bo
No way is bone better then wu...they sold alot because of one popular song...after that few really cared...meanwhile over 20 yrs later you got cats still getting Wu tats...you still see that W popping up in random pics with ppl having Wu shirts or whatever...mad Wu references on tv shows and movies...i ain' saying bone was wack but they could never compare to Wu...thats just being real...
Not true


They sold more because their style is/was more palatable to the average music consumer. Why would anyone think that a quartet harmonizing would not sell more than 9 dusty, felons spitting raw raps over raw beats from Staten Island?
I was simply talking about the idea that they sold alot because of one popular song
no doubt Crossroads was a monster, but they were multiplatinum on the albums before and after that
they were still getting plaques over a decade after Crossroads
its unfair to limit their success to that one song
