He said Rae and Ghost were speaking his language, that drug dealing street sh!t. He also said he ALREADY was a Wu fan before Cuban Linx. He was a street cat that fvcked with Wu BEFORE Rae and Ghost did the Mafioso sh!t. That clip just basically points out what I been saying about your thread title and initial post. Basically this thread's title is click bait and you already admitted it's not factual. Also, we already pointed out that 50 Cent, Biggie and many other street, hustle rappers have named Method Man as their favorite out the Wu.

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.

How, can guys from the mecca speak for all street nikkaz far away from their existence.
especially since new York at that time defeated having street gangs on a level of gangs like Chicago and la.
Mr sam is on point with the thread and it exposes what nikkaz were diverse.
enough to navigate outside the culture at a time when we really did not ever have to, ever at that point in time culturally.
you nikkaz was not with street nikkaz out the mecca.
if you think you street nikkaz,...
that is street nikkaz globally in forty nine other states.
we not talembout the rare exception to the rule.
street nikka with a little bit of knowledge of self who is the exceptional anomaly.
who indulges in the culture.
no, the general street nikka did not fukk with the wu past cream.
till rae and ghost dropped obfcl.

Fresh, stop. Maino didn't say "they were cool" on some they aiiight sh!t. He said VERBATIM "I already was a Wu fan". You kinda proved dudes point by even posting that.

No, he proved MY point because he said exactly who he gravitated to which was Rae and Ghost.. Stop looking at the thread title and look at what I'm posting in the thread and he proved MY point exactly. He summed it up perfectly.

"They was the ones out of the Wu talking that drug dealer talk. I was a Wu fan but Rae and Ghost were talking that drug dealer talk. The talk I related to. They was talking that street shyt, ya understand. They was talking my language" - Maino quote word for word.

How is that not EXACTLY what I've been saying all thread?

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.

Thread title is click bait. You admit AGAIN it's not factual and you consciously don't change it. Maino is a street n!gga correct? Maino was one of those same fly, drug dealing, bust my guns n!ggas you was referring to correct? He said he ALREADY WAS A WU FAN before Cuban Linx. Your thread title says street n!ggas only fvck with Wu because of Ghost and Rae. You don't even agree with that. MOST people in this thread don't agree with that.Thread is click bait.

Click bait to me is when you purposely make the thread with the intent of trying to stir controversy. That's not what this was for. It has a negative connotation to it. I don't do that fukk boy shyt. This was a meant to be a discussion about how Rae and Ghost stood out the street nikkas, but y'all got caught up in semantics and argued me to death about shyt I honestly don't give a fukk about.

And I ain't change the thread title because we deep in it. The discussion had already took a turn. No point now. thread will be dead in a day or two more than likely.

And again Maino said EXACTLY what I've been saying all thread but you still arguing to me about the thread title rather than my content of the thread. Come on my nikka. You a good poster, don't do that.

@Ayo!-BEZ schooling you in here. You gettin washed, Art. Fresh himself already admitted several times that the thread title isn't accurate. Leave it alone, brother. Everybody who lived through those times, and have a credible memory KNOWS street cats fvcked with Wu heavy even before Rae and Ghost got shine.


You just trying to save face cause you live in a bubble in the mecca.
plus, don't know about shyt out of it at all.

Call it fvckboy sh!t or whatever. It is what it is. You know it's inaccurate but you choose not to change it because we're too deep in it? You made the admission that the title wasn't factual PAGES ago. You could've changed it then.

Basically it's fallacy that street cats only fvcked with Wu because of Ghost and Rae. Your Maino link proved it's fallacy. Biggie and 50 Cent favorite rapper out of Wu being Method Man proves it's fallacy. 98% of the posters in here who lived through that era and disagrees with the thread title proves its fallacy. Of course those same street n!ggas that was ALREADY fvcking with Wu heavy were attracted a bit more to the sh!t Ghost and Rae were spitting. Nobody's disputing that. Just the thread title is SUPER misleading and false.

Lol actually yes they were. That's why this thread is 5 pages deep with debate even AFTER I expounded further in the thread.

But whatever man, we talking in circles at this point. I have my opinion, clearly yours differs. We never gonna change either others perspective. It is what it is. I don't care anymore lol.

I wasn't disputing that. Not exactly sure who was. Somebody mentioning that street hustlers that fvcked with Wu liked what Ghost and Rae spit a bit more than the other Wu members is kinda common sense sh!t. It's almost like saying white, trailer park dudes who like hip hop like Eminem a bit more than other hip hop artists. But I kinda feel you already know that. But yea we going in circles so let's just agree to disagree, Fresh.

exactly to make it seem like wu tang clan was just for the streets is just retarded because there was nothing street about using karate sounds or karater clips from karate films in their music that tells u they was trying to be more then that and it also tells u if a person thinks that , that was always what they were that tells u that they are a fukking retard.
