Name an album that says "featuring" other rappers on the cover. Cuban linx and ironman literally have other people on the cover that isnt the dude whos album it is.

Ironman has cap and rae on the cover and it says ironman featuring raekwon the chef and cappadonna...

Show me in history where this has happened on a major release and ill let yoy have it that they ate just solo albums that rza made us by


that's easy.
mo thugs family featuring bone.

there used to be a lot of that actually. yall just too stuck in wu-world. for instance, youre bragging about wutang touring overseas, as if bone thugs don't tour overseas too.

and lol @ the idea of wutang headlining a major rap tour in 2016. they didn't even do this when they were poppin.

the rest of your post was a bunch of industry stuff. I don't care about wutang getting anniversary write-ups and stuff like that. bone gets that stuff as well anyway. do yall pay attention to rap outside of just your favorite artists? cuz that's the general feeling I always get whenever a wutang debate is going on.

don't even bother.... they going to keep arguing made up bullshyt to fit their case


the thread was extremely simple... LEVEL.... as in 2016... what level is each group at and why didn't bone sustain their level


now the first thing they will say is sales sales sales sales.... ok that was THEN... and it actually makes their point even worse.. cause if you doing quadruple plat and doing double and triple the album sales... then why in the fukk does nobody care about you in 2016?? what stopped you from maintaining that level?? why isn't the bone symbol as big as the wu symbol... surely the same white people who bought wu shyt, bought bone shyt correct??


then they'll flip it into single albums don't count... ummmmm why not?? were the single albums by some other nikkas?? nah it was a group of people who also made albums... but wait.... didn't bone members put out single albums too?? sure did... so why didn't their single albums have the lasting power to sustain that LEVEL??? i mean they even have bone in their damn names... surely that name recognition alone would propel them to the same status as the group album right??


then it's cause it's nyc.... isn't there 1092141293 rappers and groups from nyc? why aren't all those from 1993 still around doing shyt and getting their groups brought up??









it's a bunch of excuses...


the real answer is wu created something original... a sound, a movement, a symbol, and great music that stood the test of time... you can still play cream today... you can still play hits off those solos albums.... they still have classics upon classics


they had charisma... method man is known today... odb dead forever and people still know him... he out here doing classics with mariah carey that can still be sung word for word... not to mention his singles...


they had a plan.... nikkas acitng like the solo shyt was a good guess... nah they were the FIRST to have a contract as group that could do separate solos... they planned the shyt from day 1.... they didn't stick to just music... they had hands in everything... you can still see their clothing line out here.. you can still turn on a movie and catch one of them in it... you can still see rza scoring movies and directing movies and doing his thing in hollywood


one weird white guy.... before he bought it was there not a buzz?? were they not previewing the shyt in museums? were fans not angry it wasn't going out to the public? were radio, websites and print not talking of this album for a good year before it was sold? was it not up for bid? so you think he just came out his ass and said 2 milly even tho nobody on earth was bidding for it or got above 200k?






this could have been a real thread... with real bone fans... giving real reasons why they didn't do everything listed above...


instead we got butthurt nikkas really trying to pretend that bone on the same LEVEL as wu tang in 2016 brehs... rza out here with major parts in denzel washington movies with russell crowe and shyt... ghostface in the damn ironman movie based off the fact that's his 2nd or 3rd nickname... nikkas putting out books and shyt...

and we gonna say bone thugs is on the EXACT SAME LEVEL :comeon:

Rock the bells is the only big tour for most rap acts nit named kanye jay drake etc. wu always either headline or are prominantly featured on it. Same tour nas on AND bone thugs so dont ever front

Wu world. Ha its wildly known the thing with wu started all those open collaboration shyt.
Lol at comparing loud records artist raekwon featuring on epics artists ghostface killah solo album as if it was a rae and ghost album to mo thugz, the killer bee version of bone thugs. Name 5 members of mo thugs. Any hip hop head who is into everything can name killah priest or sin let alone all the guys who actually sold albums like LAD and Sunz of man as a group. Even bums like jay elect said he influenced by sunz n killa bees. Warcloud for a season.

3-6 got members more well known than mo thugs. 3-6 does better than bone at the momembt. They never sold Mils and mills either.
.

Yes ive listened to more different sets of artists than anyone i know. I supplied my entire town with different hip hop music. Put everyone on shyt. Wu is the premier group.everyome from kast to cannibal ox to living legends to death grips to whoever else reaches a level where i get to hear them.

And wu hit more peaks than any group. Thats why even tho they dodnt sell, they are still in the scene and get love. 20 years. Where were the 80s legends eho were bigger still doing 20 years after their debut? Whats bone doing? If wu tang does anything it gets press.


Theres press on why rae and ghost didnt do heavens remix wit jay. Why didnt u do a track while bone gets no play with a track.

I havent heard from bone thugs in 15 years. Facts. Yall keep fighting a losing battle for no reason. Just admit it. Its ok

U dont care about industry stuff but the thread is about how come bone couldnt attain to wu tangs level in the industry...and you still going

Why are you here then.

lol @ rock the bells being a tour. its a yearly event that runs 2 or 4 days. and has like 40 acts. theres no real headliners for that, regardless of who that prop up at the top.

and all those acts do their own touring throughout the year.

yes, you dudes are in wu-world. yall always give off the feeling that yall don't listen to or follow much outside of wutang. I'm surprised that youre apart of this. youre a better poster than that.

you havnt heard from bone thugs in 15 years? they've had hits, plaques & awards in that timespan. wutang has none of that, but bone thugs are the group that you havnt heard from in 15 years? YES YOU ARE LIVING IN WU-WORLD. of course you don't realize it. if you did, you wouldn't be in this predicament.

1. The majority of their beats were corny and soft as shyt. Like the type of beats that they would throw on a 1990's movie to depict a hip hop beat.

2. Majority of people didn't really know what the fukk they was spitting. You could argue that Wu Tang were on that same vibe in terms of lyrics you could grasp, but at least the lyrics were audible, from there you could do your own research on what they was spitting.

Now dont get me wrong BTNH are still top 5 all time hip hop groups and I will still blast alot of their shyt to this day but lets be real, no one is checking for most of their discography. I understand and recognise that their flows and the way they harmonized various vocals was fly as fukk but lets be real, they were talking unoriginal lyrics with an unorthodox flow and most dudes cant quote their lyrics for shyt, maybe a line or two but apart from that ... not memorable lyrics.

If theres dudes out there that prefer Bone Thugs over Wu, let me know what it was that did it for you

bONE WAS BETTER

nikkas keep talking bout press
All it takes is for a bias writer etc to write a story,for someone to get press.
Mainstream sales > mainstream press
Bone last went gold with their 2007 album, Wu last went gold with their 2001 album,yet you act as if wu is flourishing on a mythical level and that bone is somewhere struggling.

This is ghost 8 years ago whining about how the actual fans are treating him. Since this video was made his albums have sold less and less. See ghost was brainwashed by the east coast bias support system. He thought he was really somebody till the fans told him through action that he wasnt shyt..


See,nerdy white boys that think their hip,can big up weak wu products all day long but how the fans react,tell the truest story and WHEN wu was at their hottest,bone was a few times hotter and that's documented FACT.
You think you're proving something great about wu when pointing out the props they've been given,but what you're really doing is raising an important question.
That question is why didnt wu tang's success mirror the props they've been given over the past two decades?//
Why were Bone superior to them in the eyes of the fans,despite all the effort of east coast bias media ?

@bigbadbossup2012

you know the drill. theyre gonna ignore your post, and go back in circles.

theyre gonna go back to talking about martin skreli giving them a million dollars with the change in his couch. then theyre gonna talk about their critical acclaim from the media & industry. and then theyre gonna top it off with the talk of the wutang logo and how wutang is still relevant in 2016, even tho they really didn't make it out the '90s in reality.
