Couldn’t understand why they were stealing the Fu-Schnickens “Kung Fu” gimmick, so blatantly....
When Wu Tang first came on the scene were they seen as cool or weird ?

ya ppl are underestimating how EASILY ppl gravitated toward the kung fu shyt they was on bcuz it was actually cool to watch them shyts...this was already discussed in the wu tang TV show thread (not directed @ you)...growing up in the 80s cats legit used to play w/ actual ninja stars and nunchucks

As an 80’s baby (39 years old) there was little to nothing weird about them. We grew up in a wild era and they were pretty much the result....not much was cool in the 90’a so much as it was about things being “real”....

whhhat lol???
Have you heard or seen any of the Fu Schnickens stuff? They were pretty heavy into the Kung Fu thing...
I gotta go back and listen to their music then...aside from the names I honestly don’t recall them incorporating that shyt into their music
Dubbed from a dub. That's how everyone heard Ill and had matic, yet the ish didn't go plat
Get the foam jawns, but take the foam padding off
They probably compared them to Odd future for the "crew" aspect.
Wu Tang were the absolute coolest when they came out.
If you had their cassettes, knew of of them and their music you literally thought you were part of something special and cutting edge - and you actually were.
That as well.

According to my dad, they kicked the door down. No one thought they were weird.

Wu tang were known as knuckleheads and trouble makers always getting into fights and shootouts back then ..
Suprised none of them died or did heavy jail time
Cappadonna manager was some low key staten island mob guy who was working for the feds
This was like late 90
So they didnt have the nerd rep even though some of them have nerd interests like karate and comic books
There three super intellectual guys in the group (rza gza deck) but the rest are rapping about regular shyt
Method man could been way bigger but he hated being the rapper girls liked
They had to buy him a car for him to do that puff daddy remix
An once ghost and rea drop cant be so simple then they had the streets locked up cause they dressed like corner guys and mainly talk drugs and fashion
