I guess it just comes down to personal preference. But I simply likke Bones Music as a whole better than Wu tang. I respect the Wu's contribution to hip hop. Those dudes ae legendary ( a few wack dudes in the group0 but they left a stamp on hip hop. But back in the day, I just supported BTNH a lot more. I have every BTNH release as well as most solo albums. The music is smoother, sometimes more laid back, I love the harmonizing Bone comes with and the speed in which they rap CAN NOT and COULD nNOT be done by any member in wu tang.
Bone thugs have set so many trends in hip hop and have proved to be influential. Withouth Bone thugs, there would probly be no Nelly, T-pain, Future. Bone thugs bodied 2 of hip hops greates MCs (pac & Big) on their own tracks. FACT!
I'm not comin in here shyttin on the Wu at all. I just think that Overall bone made better music. I think that wu tang thrives in many aspect because of the "cult/weirdo/nerd/geek" following they have. Some of the wu tang production and lyrics were God awful to me.
Some people simply supported it just because they were the wu. (Cappadonna, U god, Killa Priest, ODB and GZA were wack to me) just my opinion.
Don't get me wrong I own several wu albums, so I understand the direction of their musik. But I would choose E.1999 over 36 chambers. I would choose art of war over forever.
See, this is one of the few objective posts in this whole thread. Breh justs like Bone better. It is what it is. But to totally dismiss Wu's status in the game and the huge impact they had in the game is what relegated this thread into a troll thread. One thing though...Ya'll cats gotta stop with this whole nerd/weirdo/geek shyt you talking about. Every hip hop artist/act that's big has cac fan base filled with wiggers, nerds, geeks. Don't act like when Bone sold all those records in the 90's it was just hood nikkas. They have their fair share of weirdo fans too. Look at Wacky D. Stop it. fukk what there fanbase looks like. Wu is probably the hoodest set of nikkas that had commercial success.
