Bone Thugs E. 1999 Eternal-Top 5 Album of All Time

[mobbinfms]

even with all the Wu solos i think Bone has sold way more, Bone has sold something like 35 million albums, i remember they were neck & neck with Pac for a while for most sales (prob world wide)

If its not clear - I'm agreeing with you that Bone sold more. But I think that that level of commercial success comes from casual/white suburban fans. That isn't just limited to Bone - that's any artist.

oh yeah, you can't get past probably 2 or 3 million without having a large white/suburban fan base, it's always been like that.

Bone and Wu were both big with people who didn't listen to hip hop, at least where I live smack dab in the middle of the country.

I'd bet its really closer to 500K.

Ny heads live and grew up in an absolute fukking bubble

Breed and quik are going platinum, let these guys tell it brand nubian was a bigger act

East 1999 is a much more universal classic than any wu joint, everyone fukked with bone on that one

Not me breh

Just saw Bone like two weeks ago and got to chop it up with Bizzy backstage

 

[Broke Wave]

cosign this is a goat ever album

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Top 5... idk, but thats not an unreasonable statement

 

[Danie84]

Classic indeed

 

[Wacky D]

Didn't Bone sell way more?

so?

bone had the streets over wutang nationally.

both groups had and still have rabid suburban audiences. we already know this. but whats your point?

the suburban thing is only a negative when the streets aint rockin with you.

Both Bone and Wu had the streets through 97. Bone had more fans of any type. Streets and suburbs. The point is that it's unfair to call Wu the ultimate suburban group when Bone and Wu were essentially the same from 93-97.

COSIGN
VERY UNDERRATED ALBUM

 

[SubLyminalz]

Bizzy would embarass any wu member on the mic

Yall keep living in that bubble tho, that bubble where Gza liquid swords had a more profound inpact than Bone or where All eyez on me was a flop

I never heard that album being talked about outside of this site

the funny thing is, e.99 eternal got more love on the east coast than most of the east coast albums being brought up in here.

dudes on here got the east coast looking even more biased than it actually was.
