Raekwon and Ghostface is the only reason street nikkas fukked with Wu-Tang Clan

[I love Latina women]

yeah, i agree @FreshAIG

 

[IllmaticDelta]

It's between Wu-Tang, Public Enemy and NWA for best group ever imo, so trust this isn't at all a diss thread. However, a lot of street nikkas wasn't fukking with that Kung-Fu/different sounding shyt. Rae and Ghost were the street element. They talked about the real life drug dealings, the poverty all that extra grimey shyt that nikkas dealt with on a daily. nikkas getting shot, stabbed, drug wars etc...

I agree with your overall point but hood cats like karate movies

ODB was looked at as the wild out crazy nikka in the click. Rae and Ghost was the fly, get money nikkas. Rae and Ghost was the nikkas from your block that was driving fly whips, dressing nice, that was the hustlers. ODB was the nikka on your block drinking a 40 and wildin' out. Completely different feel. Street nikkas relate to Rae and Ghost

this is true

 

[Iceson Beckford]

I get your point but bad example, nobody in the Wu rapped like DMX. He was grimey as fukk but no other Wu members had that grimey speak for the streets sound like DMX. Let's be honest, nobody cares about U-God and Master Killa, so they're out the picture

Rae and Ghost - Street drug dealers/fly nikka rappers
Method Man - Street/Comedy/Female rapper of the clique
ODB - Drunk/drug addicts that just did and said off the wall things and barely made sense
RZA - Some street, but also conscious, and into all kinda 5%er shyt and other worldly things
GZA - Very technical/lyrical MC, rapped street shyt but not from a "Fly get money" type perspective. He wasn't "cool".

I’m not sure what people struggled to grasp from this

I only like Rae and Ghost personally. Meth is alright.

Not my era though

Liquid Swords was more of a street album than anything RAe & Ghost put out & vastly superior lyrically

This is a terrible thread

Re-reading this thread is hilarious.

So, I guess street dudes didn't fukk with Tribe, De La, Kane, Pharacyde, Tha Liks, BCC...hell, and street dudes from that era also didn't watch Kung Fu flicks...

......

Lets act like Method Man's solo was the kick off for the hood. Hell, CREAM got more spins in the block, than Slam by Onyx.

Odd wombat'ish take.

The Kung Fu part is extra ridiculous because the Kung Fu movie boom of the 70s was fueled BY the hood.

They weren't showing cheap ass import dubbed kung Fu movies in white neighborhoods

Method Man...... Stop it.

[Pop123]

fukk street nikkas…in general, all of em…but you right tho, .

Meth was a superstar but aside from him, wasn’t nobody really jackin that other shyt like that except their massive white/overseas base, tbh. I was, Gza one of my fav rappers ever, Deck up there too kinda, just speaking generally tho. Rae and Ghost was our shyt. Still today them the only ones nigs will check for, especially Rae. I need a new Rae joint man, bad, pause if applicable
