[Johnny Kilroy]

[flea]

Big Mel's taste in music has always been shyt

 

[Big Mel]

Ill scratch you off my balls wit my mothafukkin' paws

I see alot of semantics going on in here.

Technically all the early Wu solos are Wu-Tang albums. How are they not? Same producer, same rappers.

"Enter the 36 Chambers" is produced by RZA....has Deck, Ghost, Rae, Meth, etc.

"OB4CL" is produced by RZA....has Deck, Ghost, Rae, Meth, etc.

What this has to do with BONE, I dunno, but I wanted to clear that up.

Fred.

Post something culturally relevant from Bone that came out in the last 10 years.

 

[mobbinfms]

Wutang fans just refuse to acknowledge great solo careers is what makes wutang the better brand overall than Bone today...as a group tho they don't have nearly as many classics as Bone...its impossible for wutang fans to seperate the two apparently for whatever reason...denial probaly one of em.

If we even accept that a Bone album is classic - it would be on the fringe of being classic. 36 is undisputed and permanently cemented as a classic and one of the most important nd influential hip hop albums ever - period.

 

[Big Mel]

On some sometimes Y group member shyt:

The Pillage > T.H.U.G.S.

Milk The Cow, Slang Editorial & Run all count. I couldn't even tell you one song off The Flesh album and I own it.

No doubt. The "shtick" aspect to Bone is something that is criminally being overlooked in this thread. I like Bone, but people need to realize that one of the main reasons, if not THE MAIN reason that they sold much more than Wu is because their style is more susceptible to be embraced by a pop audience. they're rappers/singers. You're not gonna catch Raekwon on a track or Masta Killa on a track harmoizing about missing his "uncle charlesssss ya'lllll". Wu, especially in the 90's, is hip hop music at it's rawest form. Raw, street raps, filled with 5% ideology and slang, over raw, sampled based beats. shyt like that don't break Billboard records. Never will. But Wu sold because they were a movement. A dynasty. 9 talented MC's from the most obscure portion of NYC, with an eclectic mix of MC skill, hypnotizing mystique and charisma. Again...Bone is dope, but Wutang was better then and are better now.

Can someone post a Bone verse that every hip hop fan can recite from memory? Like Cream, or the first verse of Triumph?

 

[Big Mel]

"I miss my uncle Charles, y'all"


I'd bet anything that's it.


Lololololol

I gotta be completely honest here.

BONE fans let the group down. I'm not even talking about record sales, or hit singles. I mean BONE should definitely have higher placement in history, but they don't. I bet most people can't even name all the members.

That's not a diss, that's reality. Meanwhile Jon Farveau was asking Ghostface Killlah to be in the first "Ironman" movie solely because his debut was called "Ironman". You see shyt like "Wu-Tang Financial" on The Chapelle Show....you see Hollywood asking RZA to score multi-million dollar blockbusters....you see whole nation/global tours like Rock The Bells being built around the reunion of the Wu-Tang Clan....you see people like Kanye asking RZA, Rae, Ghost, etc. to be on songs, just off respect alone.

I could go on and on. BONE don't have that. They never did. They should have that, but their fans aren't as die hard. BONE got fans that buy the music, but don't really fukk with them like that. Wu got fans that get Wu tattoos on their face and shyt.

Fred.

There's a jiffy lube on the corner of victory & sepulveda in van Nuys. One of the Mexicans that works there heard me playing some rap and flashed a little Wu tang tattoo on his hand. Told me about all the shows he sees etc.

 

[Ronnie Lott]

See, nobody shyttin on Bone. I personally really like them and hold some of their tracks as my fav of all time, but let's BE REAL. Bone stans just have an inferiority complex when it comes to Wu, in terms of what type of impact and respect they get in the game. Wu are just bigger and had a better impact. More highly regarded MC's and the greatest rap group of all time. This thread would just be like 3 pages long right now if it would've been purged of the trollers, Bone stans and Wu haters.

Bruh, serious question. What impact as far as influence has wu tang had on hip hop. I can name several impacts and influence Bone has

 

[Big Mel]

You already did. Nelly, T Pain and Future...


Yikes


Wu influenced Nas, AZ, Jay Z, Biggie, Pac, Mobb Deep etc.

Oh and Kanye West and Just Blaze.

when '92-93 babies were in middle & high school, bone thugs had hits, were winning awards, and had a platinum movie. meanwhile, wutang was doing nothing but releasing a bunch of irrelevant internet-hyped albums. going strictly off your logic, wutang is basically just an old group whose legacy is forcefed to the new generation by the media. "theyre that '90s group that we're supposed to like".

when these kids were trying to lose their virginity in '07, alot of the girls they chased had "lil luv" as their ringtone. where was wutang at?

middle school? bone had hits in 2004-5?
