Whats the basis for the statement Bone is bigger worldwide is what I'm asking.
I'm not trying to call you out or nothing, I really don't know. I would think Wu would be bigger because that style of rap is more popular in Europe and Japan I believe.
What Stopped Bone Thugs Being on the Same Level as Wu Tang was..
- Thread starter u mad son?
- Start date

just a feeling i have from seeing threads & things on forums and knowing Bone fans. Bone fans usually seem to love the group as a whole and everything that they do. when you find a Bone stan they buy all the Bone Brothers albums and all the fake Bone albums with only 3 members, could you imagine Wu fans LOVING an album that only has U God & INS? that Mef, Ghost & Rae album wasn't even that popular. Bone still tours worldwide, just as Wu does, they just went to NZ and are probably on to Australia next i would imagine. i'm just saying Bone has the super stans for the group as a whole
they just about to headline one of the biggest festival in new Zealand
Dope lineup too

Bone way bigger and more known than Wu Tang.. Wu Tang some forum popular shyt.. Its like saying J Cole needs to get on the level of Big Sean.. you see Big Sean every where but J Cole sells way more.. would you say J Cole needs to get on Big sean level?Never
J cole, like Bone, just dont really need/want to be in the spot light like that but they have dedicated fan bases
yes sales make more sense WHEN YOU WERE SELLING...
but lets be real.. in rap/hip hop, we all KNOW wu tang clan has the bigger name, and reach
first off, you counting group albums... shall we put up the sales and plaques from the core 9 members as well? then how about the 50-60 affiliates, all using or screaming wu tang... then put up features/classics that have a wu member on them...
see where this is going.. do you think anyone on earth would care or buy a bone thugs 1 of 1 album in 2015?? for 2 million dollars?? hell no
is anyone still hitting up bone thugs members for verses, and movies, and cameos, or even damn interviews? no
is bone thugs seen as this global thing where they can tour anywhere, sell merch anywhere, show up at random events and sell out shows based on "bone gonna be there"... nah
that wu symbol alone has more longevity and legend in the game.. are either one of them going to go plat in 2016... nah.. but it's clear which group has more staying power and respect in the game

Ima die hard Wu fan till the end...BUT E1999 and especially Creepin on ah Come Up are fukking CLASSICS...PERIOD.
I mos def understand why BONE sold more...them nikkahs was doing what all of rap is doing right now...making dope ass shyt u could HUM to...I could understand the words as well...but u didn't have to...hense women could funk with it....
OB4CL is in my top 10 of all time...but till this day...even tho I know the words they were saying...I barely know what the fukk they were even talking about lol.
Oh yeah.. DJ UNEEK...he was their Rza...no him...no bone as we know them...
Both are dope and fukk a comparison

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

Prove it
prove the silly statement you uttered?
How does that work exactly?Receipts already show that Wu's album sold for 2 milly. A 'special' Bone album selling more hasn't happened, so it's in hypothetical ducktale land. and you haven't shown a shred of logic to say who the fukk would play 2 mil plus for a new Bone album, which puts that scenario in ducktale hyperspace.
I wonder if you'll go mute
easy question, the talent was there, but the group couldn't stay together long enuff to reach that... kept spliting up
The talent was there.. just couldn't keep em all together after Eazy was gone and Big Flesh was in jail

Not exactly u can't say nobody would buy it because there is no secret unreleased bone album for sale.
You are just assuming no one would buy it because you are a wu fan.
Kind of like how people were assuming nobody would buy that trash ass wu album for 5 million
Which they did not they bought it for 2 million instead.
