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

Like I said, these nikkas is just talking out the ass. There's nothing pop about Triumph or ANYTHING on Wutang Forever. The group didn't do anything that would be considered pop until Gravel Pit on the W album. None of the shyt they're saying is accurate/factual.

Exactly. I felt like I'm in the twilight zone here lmao

nikkas extreme wildin in here.

@Awesome Wells... post any song off Wu Forever and ask the Coli if it's pop. ANY one, bro.

If Wutang wasn't considered street before Cuban Linx then NOBODY was street

The amount of revisionist history dudes are doing is hilarious lmao. They don’t think people in the discussion were there in real time, so they feel they can say anything

Wu was talking about guns, selling drugs, robberies, 5 percent street knowledge, fukking nikkas up, the projects... ALL THAT shyt... from day one. 36 Chambers. Street nikkas loved them.

Anybody have any ideas on what it was about Wu-Tang that resonated so much with white fans specifically?

As opposed to a group like Dipset for example. (Yes I know the Dips had white fans but it was never cult-like)

Location is a huge factor Staten island was like 85%+ white back in the 90s and Wu had a huge underground following prior to the first group album coming out

Bring the pain
Cold world
Brooklyn zoo
Ice cream

Etc all huge non "pop" songs getting hot97 play before Wu tang forever

Then add in the kung fu/comic book angle

Wu didn't have any noteworthy white fanbase until around Wu Forever. Black people fukked with them mostly. They resonated with Blacks/Hispanics because they were rapping about hood shyt they could relate to. Especially Blacks and Hispanics in NY and the surrounding areas because they was speaking that NY shyt including the 5% shyt and the Kung fu flick shyt. A typical Wutang show around 93, 94 and 95 looked like this:



Sea of Black faces. Find footage of a Wu show predating Wu Forever and it looks like the above clip. The white crowds didn't come until later.

I hate coli revisionist on here because most white people's entry to wu tang was wu forever and most of these posters wasn't even a thought in the enter the 36 era.

Shiit...I remember a Source magazine interview with MOP before Cuban Linx and they were saying they was gonna catch a Wu tang show later that night

Biggie was rapping about listening to Wu BEFORE Cuban Linx.

Street nikkas was either rolling with Wu or tucking their chains in clubs when they showed up BEFORE Cuban Linx.

Sayinh street nikkas was not fukking with Wu before Rae and Ghost popped is outright retarded.

OP smoking crack like meth, rza and old dirty was chopped liver???

50 Cent...you know, a real street nikka who was in the streets selling crack and bustin his gun...favorite Wu rapper is Method Man. Not Ghost or Rae... Method Man.

 

[boogers]
