They had a chance to solidify their legacy in the mid 2000s but they had those wack singles with Phil Collins and Akon
Cut that out breh aint no east coast bias when it comes to the Wu and Bone. They both were basically just as popular in the mid 90s. The reason that the Wu never had that kinda fall of tho was becuz of their solo artists
Yall gotta get off that east coast bias shyt. It reeks of insecurity

Ghost is a legend. Meth is Meth and Raekwon still puts out dope music in a consistent basis. Nobody is checking for fukking Layzie Bone and Flesh N Bone
The Wu are international icons. They got Wu t shirts in Target right next to Beatles shirts. Meanwhile Bone has Unsung episodes

Bone is a legendary group but lets be honest: after their first two albums their music doesn't hold up. And one of those albums was an EP
if you feel otherwise, youre certainly entitled to your opinion but their 3rd & 4th albums were poppin and their twilight runs were most likely better & more successful than whatever groups you put before them. not to mention that half the radio these days sounds like "art of war", so how does it not hold up??
It's really that simple, but these dudes really, really, REALLY don't want it to be that way
Bone Thugs open shows for Wu now.
what insecurities??? IM EAST COAST born n raised. you cant push these rhetorics on me like yall doing these other posters. ive been to the secret meetings. including the ones that you DMV dudes were excluded from.
"art of war" is a classic and its a double cd.
and if you insist on being a hard grader, that's cool. but make sure you do the same for your east coast nostalgia piece groups. if bone's first EP & album are the only jawns that hold up, then that means wutang only has 1 group album & 1 solo that holds up. mobb deep only has 1 or 2. tribe only has like 2. need I go on?
Im gonna put it like this. When I hear old school mixes I hear Tribe joints from 4 different albums. I hear Mobb joints from 3 different albums. From the Wu there's countless joints that get played from their solos. From Bone not so much.
All Im saying is you'd never catch the Wu on an episode of TvOne's Unsung
But Bone was just as big if not bigger than all those groups tho. I remember those years well since they were my hs years. Bone was all over the place and had a huge following in Baltimore. Some of my homeboys stanned the shyt outta them. But the fact remains that they became a footnote.did you type this with a str8 face???
THATS BECAUSE YOURE ON THE EAST COAST!!!!!! the fact that you think 95% of that chit is getting play on old school mixes outside of the east coast, just goes to show how self-absorbed & inherently biased you are.
and I know you started watching unsung years late. otherwise, you would know that Unsung is really a show for big-time urban stars whose legacies aren't force-fed by media.
whats funny is that the bone thugs episode if what brought most of you dudes to the show, and it low-key ruined it, because since that episode, they flew off the handle and are just doing anything '90s now. but that's for another thread.
youre also devaluing your own outlets by referencing TV-One as a bad thing, which makes me look at you funny personally. but that's for a whole other nother thread.
I feel like Bone should've been on the show. They were a huge group that doesn't get mentioned with some of their peers which is why they are Unsung. They didn't leave a last impression on the game like the Wu did and its more than branding. The Wu made more timeless music, helped change the business model of the game, and invented slang we still use to this day.
