This post shows why you and others like you erroneously think wu and other east acts were bigger than they were while downplaying other artists from other areas

true

but its not as bad as hes making it seem.

hes making it sound so archaic.


Im strictly talking hip hop. Outkast was still getting booed at the source awards in 96-97. There was no south shyt on the radio. A few chi town cats was making noise, but it wasn't like they was screaming mid west on records

The only time I caught non east coast acts was on rap city and yo mtv raps. It's not like now where every song needed an intro of you screaming your city, click and street on every track. Wasn't no internet to research. You got it from the source or right on or some shyt


come on man. just admit that you were just too caught up in wutang to pay attention to much else. you aint gotta lie to kick it. I'm from the same city as you.

it was 1995. and outkast got booed because them winning that award was suspect. sure it didn't help that they were from the south, but people forget that chit was suspect. they weren't the only southerners on stage that night. the dam 69 boyz performed, girated & humped the same stage that night without any problems.
and outkast was on the radio everywhere back then. they were laface/arista's top rap act outside of bad boy. they were guaranteed radio slots breh. they were on power 99. and they kept a rotation of acts from other coasts on power 99. not a large rotation but still.

the internet was indeed around and thriving.

they didn't have to scream Midwest on records. we already knew what it was.

besides, BET & the box was all you needed really. I didn't even watch yo! mtv raps.


Lol you gonna tell me what I see or what :skip:
I didn't even talk about no damn concerts. Maybe they're going to Poland or GB :yeshrug:Countries I live in (France, Belgium, Italy) I've never seen a Bone show being promoted like that, etc. Does it mean they don't come? Never said that, I'm telling you that I see EPMD coming to Brussels in a couple of weeks, UK rookies like Jay Prince, Beatnuts were in Paris just last year (missed them:francis:) but somehow don't see Bone ads or whatever. If they were as big I wouldn't have missed them for 20 years, is what I'm saying. Meanwhile if the Wu comes (regardless of which members actually come, which is the bullshyt they're on) it gets much more attention.

Why y'all so defensive though? It's not an indication of quality, 3-6 was never that big around these parts neither, don't mean they aren't great. Some styles just travel better, that's all.


not being defensive at all.

you claim that youre not aware, then fine. but you were already proven wrong in multiple threads by multiple people. and you came in this thread recycling the same post like clockwork.

Ain't nobody in Bone coming close to Gza or Ghost.

Yep. Or even Rae, RZA and Deck. Bone stans get hypnotized by their harmonizing and rapid flow. That harmonizing, double time sh!t is admittedly cute :heh:. But if you actually put the best Bone verses down on paper and compare it to the best Wu verses on paper, the sh!t would be laughable. Wu have at least 4 members who are routinely brought up when the GOAT rappers ever discussions come up. Bone? Zero. Also Wu have 3 members that have 3 certified classic albums. Bone? Zero. And again...I fvck with Bone, but these Bone Thug stans are some of the most delusional stans, from any genre of music, of an artist.

Ok...Fvck the "ON-PAPER" sh!t then. Just judging by MC skills, Wu has at least 4 members that MOST hip hop fans would put above ANY Bone member. Only a delusional Bone stan would say I'm lying. Who do you consider the best Bone member? When have you ever heard or seen that member named in a GOAT rapper debate?

Like I said...Bone stans just like that fast harmonizing sh!t. I've met Bone stans that couldn't recite their verses word for word if their life depended on it.

Wu better by skills and "ON-PAPER".

How bout this...

Let's check online for GOAT MC conversations/lists.

If you can find more with Bone Thug member mentions than Wu-tang mentions, I'd ask the mods to ban me for a week.

If I find more Wu member mentions than Bone members than you get that week ban.

Bet?

You wouldn't find a single publication on any medium on earth that put bone above wutang as a group. None

But I guess they are all based on the east coast. Even the ones in other countries

Bone stans lied, weren't informed or ignored the fact that Bone Thugs tried to sell a million dollar album, and no one gave a fukk. Y'all are delusional. Conversation is pointless with liars and the uninformed.

End of discussion.

All the dominant publications are based on the east,no?
MEaning the east creates the narrative,no?
If i'm wrong,name a group that only did half as good as wu tang,from somewhere outside the east that gets similar props.

Name an album outside the east that sold as poorly as Illmatic,that gets similar props

Name a producer outside the east that has never produced the lion's share of a classic album or put on a crew of people that gets the same props as pete rock or primo
