Riding off the success of Wu-Forever which dropped in 97, the Wu-Tang and its close affiliates were able to perform one of the most impressive feats in Hip-Hop by dropping nothing but consistent greatness within one calendar year :whew:

That's 8 dope releases that range from classic to good quality, that was released by the same group/family all in one calendar year... I don't any think any other hip-hop conglomerate has been able to pull this off, not Def Jam, Bad Boy, No Limit, Death Row, etc..

:whoa: lets not talk about all the missteps that soon followed in '99 tho :sadcam:

I know my real Wu-heads feel me @SoulController @Billy Ocean @mobbinfms @Nigmund Freud @TrifeGod @SunZoo @IronFist @hustlemania @tuckdog @Animal House @Burger King @Zero @Freddie.Cane @Illeye buckmatic @Danie84 @ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA @NVious @Cole Cash @Wallychamp

I know I'm missing more of the Wu-brehs... if yall know them, then tag'em for me so they can discuss this greatness with us....

98 was crazy because Wu is dense lyrically we couldn't even begin to break it down fast enough but we were in hip hop heaven

really 1998 was the year of that beast named Holocaust ... he beast on 3 of the 8 albums listed and then he disappeared after 98, only to reappear sounding too bugged out for me ... I heard some very horrible rumors concerning son too :smh: @TrifeGod

His verse off "Holocaust" still gives me chills :wow:
