You know nikkas dont have a good argument when they have to go outside of hiphop to make a point or pop compilations as THEIR ONLY ARGUMENT.
If you really think you got something,give me an example with a black hiphop artists whom made street grimy hiphop like bone and wu.
:popcorn:
There have only been 74 or so artists in the history of hip hop to go plat. Ever. Nobody in hip hop cares about sales. Plenty of scarface albums did absolute shyt in numbers and people hold him in top 5 discussions daily.

Ludacris got damn near got 5 multiplat albums. Is anyone on earth putting him above scarface?

nikkas from the west compare quik to Dre daily. Both legends. Dre probably sold 100 million more records tho. Anybody shytting on quik as an unimportant loser? Nah

Diplomats sold a few multiplat records and plat between all the members. They from the east. They way more recent. They not even considered superstars on this very board, let alone in hip hop

Outkast first album that didn't do numbers at first got 4 1/2 mics in the source.

Em does diamond twice and people won't even put him above any damn body in rap cause he's white so his sales don't count

50 sold diamond worldwide and nobody holds him in high regard

Ross can't even sell shyt and he held in high regard. And jeezy plat every time but once and is barely spoken of unless he right about to drop






All that to means is sales are shyt. You can sell a lot and get zero respect (hammer) or you can sell shyt and be legendary (scarface). You can sell a lot, be legends and not from the east (outkast). And none of those artist is from the east.


Sales is the last thing a rap fan is caring about. You like who you like and hope they do well. If they don't, the only question is can they still rap tho?

I'd bet all my money on method man beating drake in a rap battle. I'd also listen to his album before drake. That don't mean he gonna sell as much and I for damn sure know drake gonna have more youngings and white people and a bigger marketing budget. Don't change the music tho

the only reason yall dwell on wutang is because the media kept shoving the million dollar album down our throats. same reason why people think wutang is the only global group - because they yap about it all the time.

wutang selling a million dollar album doesn't mean that theyre better or more popular than anybody. it holds no weight. it just means that a weirdo millionaire likes you enough to purchase it. lol. he didn't even get any unreleased prime wu gems. he purchased a new album from a flabby group.

so many ducktales.

I fux with you breh but you're forcing the issue.

In fact, none of you Bone fans have offered a single receipt as to how Bone are bigger than Wu in 2016. You've just sat on the sideline and fanboy-shytted on all the receipts we've provided for why Wu > Bone, yet offered none of your own.

Which is why none of you brought up Bone's failure at the million dollar album and some pretended like it never even happened. And that if it were to happen, Bone would outsell Wu. Disingenuous shyt. :thumbsdown:

And leaning on the so-called 'east coast conspiracy' is pathetic. I understand that's bossup's shtick, but I thought you'd be above that. It's 2016 where media resides ONLINE, not magazines in 1995. Which is why lunatic bossup is rambling about Illmatic and throwing whatever vague shyt he can stick on the wall instead of sticking to the topic.

also, :mjlol: at downplaying the fact that a millionaire saw value in a Wu album in 2016, who gained an unprecedented amount of press knowing that he would because that Wu brand is strong as fukk.

Downplay everything, offer up nothing in return. That's the Bone Thugs way :mjlol:

The main topic is what stopped Bone from reaching wu tang's level.
FACT IS THEY ECLIPSED WU TANG BY DOUBLING THEM AT RETAIL

i KNOW SCARFACE IS THE TOKEN SOUTHERNER and first artist from the south that actually garnered respect for his mic skills ,he basically pioneered the southern respectable mc.
The fact that the group he was the FACE of,dropped an album that went plat in six months,in 1991,off of one single,is remarkable

i'm not surprised or moved that he gets more props than luda

No illmatic was talked up and meant very little when it droppped and No Gangstarr album ever meant anything. Although i bumped illmatic and some gangstarr. They were not major factors amongst the general public.
Which is why IN 1994
Bone
Outkast
Warren G
Da Brat
and Biggie dropped debut albums which went plat and/or multi plat within a matter of months
while ILLMATIC TOOK SEVEN YEARS TO GO PLATINUM

The fans didnt give a shyt about it on that level
@The Devil's Advocate ,you dodging?

I said bone was bigger in 2016 than Wu?

breh, why are you even in this thread? Just to ramble off-topic as usual?

The topic is: what stopped Bone from being on the same level as Wu-tang. Which is OBVIOUSLY a discussion on reasons why Bone is not as big as Wu TODAY. Not in "east coast conspiracy 1994" where your brain seems to be stuck. In 2016, why is the Wu brand stronger than the Bone brand?

You can't call yourself a boss and not know what's being discussed. :what:
