They were the first group to negotiate solo deals with other labels outside of the group deal
This is likely true.
Although - at the end of the day - all this business and popularity shyt (or chitty chit for our lesbian friends :troll:) isn't important. The Wu had better beats/rhymes and albums. Of course its all subjective and preference, but to me its an indisputable fact :blessed:

Collectively.
COLLECTIVELY.

WU has contributed far far more quality music than bone.

I mean are we really debating that?


lol @ having to capitalize the word COLLECTIVELY.

meaning yall are counting a bunch of outside stuff not relevant to the topic of groups.

This thread is hilarious...

And Wacky, I didn't forget about you... :russ:

Here's why I said you don't have a clue what you're talkin' about half the time... one of the "points" you had was that Wu never headlined an urban tour, and they were doing stuff with RATM nshyt. Ah, how naive... lemme take you back to the 90s.

After about '91 up until '99, there were NO hip-hop tours
.[/B] The only attempt (which ended up getting shut down in two weeks) was the Chronic Tour in '93- Dre, Snoop, Pac, Onyx, Run-DMC, Boss, & Geto Boys. Other than that, big arenas and venues like that were not welcoming hip-hop tours or anything like that. Security prices were mega-high, and the owners didn't want the headache. So here's what happened- artists in that time period either had to find their way into some R&B/rap ensemble tour, or do one-off arena concerts, or perform at smaller spots that were paying them to perform. The music was selling, but nobody was investing money into a hip-hop tour for a loooong time. So all the guys from that era- Wu, Bone, Mobb, Pac, Nas, whoever... none of those dudes headlined any national tours. And Wu was only able to co-headline that tour because it was with a rock band, which was pretty much the same as touring with R&B artists- something to ensure that the crowd wouldn't just be a bunch of hoods. Fukked up to think about, but that's what happened. It basically took the safe No Way Out tour for arenas to even consider that kinda shyt, then came the Hard Knock tour, and the Cash Money/Ruff Ryders, and Up In Smoke. Before that, there hadn't been a strictly hip-hop tour since Public Enemy was headlining. Everybody from our beloved "90s Golden Era" suffered. Sure, they still did shows, still got their money... but those big cross-country tours like Run-DMC, LL, PE, etc. did in the 80s? Negative. So it's not really a discredit to Wu to say they didn't headline any tours... NOBODY did. And if they were running tours back then, Wu was definitely big enough to have headlined one, as was Bone.

:rudy:

Not only have all groups benefited from the Wu but there have hardly been any groups to come out since then cuz how can you follow up the Wu. Bone even benefited cuz they tried to bite and come out with solos too. They even had the wack offshoot group Mo Thugs

:mjlol:


you think wutang is the 1st group to branch off to solo albums?:laff:

mo thugs wasnt a group. IT WAS A RECORD LABEL.:facepalm:

yall need to come out of wu-world.

look at this @Big Mel post:

I truly feel Bone is a C list group.
Wu Tang, Tribe, PE = A list
Brand Nubian, MOP, Dogg Pound = B List
Bone, Onyx, Naughty = C List


:scusthov:

this post smells like stink feet.
