As a group. Bone Thugs >>>>>>>Wu Tang Clan

[Big Mel]

They all rap double time. They're different humans so it isn't exact but 4 dudes singin and fast rappin' isn't all that goddamn different.

The fleetwood mac track was a sample, not a collaboration fakkit And the Will I Am track aint a album cut either got dam you lames dont know shyt about what you speak of

Will.i.am is on #8 on "Strength and Loyalty":

Actually its Track 8 and the song is called streets which also features The Game.. you think Bone ft Will I Am on that track for crossover appeal like you originally argued? And you thought the Fleetwood mac track was a collaboration, you dont know shyt lil nikka foh

at this confused child.

Son went from "it's not an album cut" to telling me which track # it is.

Like I said, I'm done.

Fred.

 

[Big Mel]

Bone should do a Xmas album.

Pa rum pum pum pum.

 

[CACtain Planet]

The difference is Will.I.Am.

Fred.

Not a crossover track fakkit and better than anything Wu Tang Clan released as a group since 2000

 

[Big Mel]

That shyt is wack.

Bone recorded another track with Will I am that has crossover appeal but aint a album cut... But your argument of the will i am track on strength and loyalty being a crossover track is false, like everything else you been spitting in this thread...

@mobbinfms

no, im not being difficult.

you just have a knack for asking stupid questions......stupid questions that have already been answered & discussed in full........and then on top of that, you ask these questions in an obnoxious manner.

If the question was answered and discussed in full why are other people asking the same question?

Wasn't trying to be a dikk in the way I asked the question.

 

[mobbinfms]

this is stupid.

they influenced the way rappers spit their bars. you act like they just influenced rappers to get in the booth & sing without rapping.





ol d b's album sold off of name value & his fanbase.

there was no big anticipation for an ol d b album at the end of 1999.

as far as wutang having alot of white fans. its not rockets science. they appeal to the rippity-rapping white dudes that try way too hard to be hip-hop. a wutang show post-97 is no different than a sage francis show.

btw, im not saying that all of their white fans are like this. so dont be offended if this doesnt apply to you.

nah, i dont have a backstory on the mtv show. i thought that chit was odd just like you. but i got down with wutang so i wasnt complaining......but i wont forget. besides, the backstory to that show is probably nothing more than new york priveledge.

Re read the post for a second time. You got it wrong.

White people who didn't grow up with the shyt and try to hard are annoying. All sorts of different rappers attract that type of fan. Bone included.

Have you actually been to a Sage Francis show? I've been to a post 1997 Wu show and it wasn't what I would imagine a Sage Francis show to be. I'm guessing its a bunch of dirty depressed Indy rock kids. I'm sure at least one of them kills himself during the show.

I definitely agree that gave them a huge edge in terms of appeal back in the 90s

but are we really gonna sit here and act like Bone has an inherent advantage to getting mainstream acceptance over Wu in 2013? I just dont see it.

in todays day and age, Wu has the appeal because this generation of cac grew up on the back pack shiit..u can see it with the Roots getting props all of a sudden, jimmy fallon, rza being in movies and shiit...wu def has the mainstream appeal today

and yet bone will still go toe to toe with them on sales. hence voiding all this nonsense about how bone aint relevant or their career is done

again i got love for wu. i got cuban linx in my car, nothing like bumping incarcerated scarfaces during through a winter storm on my way to work. i just feel bone is CRIMINALLY un appreciated

Truth be told, both groups are too talented to have a snowballs chance in hell of appealing to the "mainstream" I.e. radio play.

So you think all of Bone's white fans from the 90s weren't true fans of hip hop like the white Wu fans? What you're describing is white teens and twenty something's who have got old but still got love for the music.

 

[mobbinfms]

thats your opinion, but E-99 is regarded as one of the best midwestern rap albums of all time and one of the top 10 greatest albums of all time by alot of sites and people, cant say that about ob4cl2 but your wu biased anyway.

What site has e 99 as top ten? OBFCL2 was considered an instant classic by critics. Nobody's got it on a top ten list though. No 1 album for 09 though. Still waiting for someone to tell me different.

 

[mobbinfms]

I never said BONE is irrelevant or done. I'm a fan of both groups.

And I think I need to differentiate something. Wu has more pop culture appeal because they have more hard core fans. That's why you have Hollywood asking RZA to score movies, or Ghost to star in "Ironman", or Chapelle doing Wu skits, etc.

BONE has more pop music appeal.

And that's not a diss. To put it into perspective BONE was doing songs with Gwen Stefani in 2009:

Everyday Together (You & Me) - Bone Thugs - N - Harmony Ft. Gwen Stefani - YouTube

Around the time Raekwon dropped this:

Raekwon feat. Jadakiss & Styles P - Broken Safety - YouTube

It is what it is. BONE has album cuts with Fleetwood Mac, Gwen Stefani, Will.I.Am and Phil Collins. They tried to cross over, so it's not like I'm criticizing them. It's just that Wu never went that route, so sales is kinda a moot point.

Fred.

That's a great point about the hard core fans in positions of power looking out for he Wu.
