Wu Tang Forever is a much better album then East 1999 to me. Like not even close at all.
Forever sold more than 36 but wasn't as good. Forever is still thrice the album East 1999 is IMO. AOW only got la few spins before being shelved. Fast rapping barely holds my interest for a LP let alone a double disc. It's why Creepin' On Ah Come Up is my fav Bone release. Perfect amount of Bone. Pause.
Ok, well you laid out your grievances and I can at least respect that. Bone and Wu are both acquired tastes and not for everyone, I get that.
But its very hard to deny that Bone wasn't the more WIDELY accepted and preferred group of the two. The numbers alone prove this. Its not like either group is leagues better than the other in skills but they have completely different styles, Bone's style was just more preferred by most.
