Bone wasn't together very long, from the time Eazy introduced them, from the time of Eazy Death, after East 1999 Eternal and the Art of War
...they split up... Yeah Mo-thugs but Bizzy wasnt around... the group had alot of troubles with keeping the family together...they loved each other but the music bond was broken

they sold 2 mil 'rabbling' way past their prime :umad:

I'm sure Bone Thugs can sell more on their special group album, even though Bizzy has better odds becoming POTUS
People wanted the full Bone package, not 1 bone or 2 bones they wanted all the Bones back then...
Bone whole meaning was like a Brotherhood.. they came as a package not just 1 or 3

To answer your first question we are talking about bone thugs as a group is more popular
We are not talking about there individual projects there's like 20 wu members. :lolbron:

And how do you know nobody would buy bone thugs album for 2 million dollars?

If a producer came out and said I have an unreleased bone thugs album from 95
Best believe it would sell for more then the wu tang album.

why wouldn't bone thugs be able to tour world wide after all they did outsell wu tang.:umad:

And who exactly is saying wu tang is bigger legends then bone thugs?

You :mjlol:

I'm from California out here its bone > wu tang

Only people saying wu tang> everybody else

Is them basement dwelling nerds from the east coast.
i know it, and you know it, from life


i don't have time to break down what group of people is saying what... there's 7 billion people on earth, i'm sure your breakdown is off just as much as if i'd try to break it down



what i do know, and is plain to see, is that in 2016, wu is way more talked about on all statuses than bone thugs... nobody even discusses bone thugs... i'm not talking the coli, internet forums and shyt

i'm talking about tv.... when's the last time you heard a random bone song in a movie/tv show/event... when's the last time another rapper brought up any member of bone... when's the last time you saw a movie and bone member appeared... when's the last time you heard the radio and they said a member of bone was coming up there... when's the last time they got some press... when's the last time someone did an article on any of them?


as a group... they sold more... like someone else said..... as a solo artist hammer did more than 99% of rappers... so did vanillla ice.... what does that have to do with their stamp on the game? who gets more respect and has more legend? rakim or hammer? krs or hammer? drake selling a lot.... he on the same level as rakim to anyone but sprite? dmx outsold jay... who got more legend and respect and is on another level??



you can't just say, "we talking about them as a group" and ignore that they dropped 5 plat and gold CLASSICS as soloists before they even did album number 2... now it's 2016 and rza scoring hollywood films, making 2 of his own, meth done at least 20-50 movies/tv shows, and they still have a name enough to command 2 milly for an album

I listen to Mo Murda, 1st of the Month all the time.


When I think of Wu Tang, I think of Method and the Cream Anthem. And of course Ghostface Killah's Malcolm interlude:laugh:

Not saying one is more opular than the other because really it's a toss up. but

1. you gotta figure in the Wu solo acts and albums when comparing bodies of work. And I don't mean simply sales wise.

2. Wu-Tang in itsself is a globally recognized brand that had merchandise on damn near all levels and members represent the brand in whatever endeavors they participate in. Like Meth's movie career and RZAdoing film scores.
method man alone is bigger than any bone member


i'm sure if meth and bizzy (probably the most popular) stood on the side of the road together, meth would be way more recognized... not to mention his career accomplishments


and you'd still have rza, ghost and odb to throw in on name recognition alone.. add in the purple tape......

thats pushing it a lil bro... thats a opinion not a fact from the whole world..i like Method man... but u kinda pushed it..thats more of a self opinion and you free to feel however u feel and think whatever... but I would never say 1 wu tang is better then the whole bone..u just more of a wu fan...thats all
