This wasn't click bait, come on. Maybe worded wrongly but I don't do click bait threads. I ain't on no fukk boy shyt. As Maino said "The rest of them were cool" basically what I said. As I said, street nikkas gravitated towards Rae and Ghost. Meth had his hot run in 1994, but he wasn't getting bumped in the street like Rae and Ghost at all. Meth was universally loved but he wasn't who the streets moved to it was Rae and Ghost. I don't even get how this is being debated.
Y'all taking it as "Nobody ever in the streets listened to Wu besides Rae and Ghost" and that's not what I said. So y'all bringing up individual instances of people playing songs here an there when you out and about really doesn't disprove my point. I can give you an example of nikkas in my hood playing Chingy, that don't mean the streets fukked with them heavy like that.
The first problem is these nikkaz never had no other existence outside the mecca.
especially in that time as you did not and at that time.
had no need to seek out other non cultural based experiences.
ypu, nikkaz never been around the street nikkaz outside the mecca.
if, you did.
there is no way you would answer yes to this fukking question.
y'all in the mecca but relative to outside the mecca y'all are green.
Especially to think they played wu tang or wu was popular like that before obfcl with that street nikka crowd or aesthetic.
there are no grand glorious memories of hordes of nikkaz banging labels in their box of twelve then.
there is no stories like that in genreal from that contingent of fans.
as, that contingent of fans had a completely different thing they were into.
nikkaz from the south say this all the time.
nikkaz from the west say this shyt all the time.
nikkaz from the Midwest say this all the time.
they did not listen to wu tang clan like that.
plus, if and when the wu was popular with the street nikkaz.
cream, was a gateway,.......
then, a lull till Biggie mobb deep nd obfcl for that crowd and aesthetic at best as gateway listeners or interest.
to say anything more is just a complete fukking lie.

Later, on in the late 90's.
I used to ride with the nikkaz,...
who had the street nikkaz ear before and during the time period nikkaz talembout.
they was making beat that bytch with a bat and perculator, etc.
wasn't no WU being played, but that ooh ahh ee, Jack my body was on.
street nikkaz was house music nikkaz and that is also why now trap and edm are meshed cause that is where the pulse of that listeners true allegiance lies.
you, nikkaz don't even know where the listeners come from that are in higher volume.
that keep cultural rap from being played in the airwaves.
this whole thread is like, you nikkaz really are that self absorbed in your bubble in the mecca.
no wonder y'all lost.
you won't purge the sellouts and have a false sense of self.
that is not created to exist in a non-mecca based setting.
that shyt y'all on is called lack'n.
