Were you a bigger Tribe fan or Wu fan in the 90’s????

[Tommy Gibbs]

it's kind of a tricky answer. I was a huge Native Tongues fan from when they started with the Jungle Brothers, Latifah, and De la Soul. When Tribe came out in 90, I was a big an of theirs too. I was more into the pro black movement than anything, but I liked the Native Tongues. Tribe had a great run with their first 3 albums and their 3rd album(which is the favorite of many their fans) dropped on the same day as Wu. After MM, Tribe never had another great album again and released a very good album in BR&L and an extremely average album in TLM. So basically Tribe was untouchable from 90-around mid 94 and Wu had their big run from end of 93 until around mid 98. And this incudes solo joints as well. So I was definitely a bigger Wu fan. Plus Wu solo albums are better than Tribe's. And I loved Tip and Phife's debut albums. I actually liked Phife's more. Phife's solo is what I expected Tip's to sound like.

Wu.. but I loved them as individuals about not so much as a collective. I was a Ghost and Rae stan… i also think Low End and Midnight Marauders was better than 36

wu the most in the 90s. my appreciation for tribe grew over the years after wu started slowing down in the late 90s/early 2000s

 

[Solomon Lurke]

Wu most definitely. It took me to get much older to appreciate Tribe. I was strictly on rugged shxt when I was younger.

I was a Tribe fan first and a bigger Tribe fan but I am a Wu Head too

I feel like I’m from the slums of Shaolin

Tribe gave a young me two of the best albums I've ever heard in my life, to this day.

Wu-Tang completely changed and dominated my life till this day..


..TILL THIS DAY

Got me checking for Bandcamp releases by Dom Pachino and Wu-Syndicate cats.

I didn't get into 'A Tribe Called Quest' until I got put onto them through some dude who loved what they would call "Conscience Rap".

That was like early 2000s, He had a lot of conscience stuff on the tape. I would smoke and just listen to a different vibe from the Raps I'm used too. It was all ill tracks like ATCQ, Talib, Mos, Common, J Dilla, Hi-Tek beats, Quasimoto, group home project, etc. I've since lost that tape but I recall all those songs and have them on some sort of playlist.

Wu is my choice. I got onto Wu a little late I was Mase/Badboy era fan ... My first foray into the Shaloin lol was definitely by Method Man.
