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

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Breh, he's not speaking for all black people. Just street nikkas.

You know, like an ambassador of sorts.

Just NO.

 

[pointproven214]

What's the obsession with the streets though? Would Wu-Tang have been a better group if more people from the streets liked their music? I'm confused breh

exactly everybody from the streets would much rather live in the hills in a mansion anyway

Street nikkaz, real nikkaz whatever u wanna term them you can't speak for all of "them"

This thread is ridiculous. Let's pretend it wasn't a bunch of street nikkaz in the crew and some were into kunfu and others drug talk. Right there your point is disproven.

Now we gonna be history revisionists and say street nikkaz was only into 2 members out the clan... OK lol.

Method was the most popular member... Again your claim is disproved unless we will now pretend it was all cacs fukking with him.

Unless you got a time machine to go do a block survey in 93 on who's the hottest members with street dudes this is just your opinion nothing more...

No you tried to make street nikkas synonymous with Black people. Now you trying to back track once I called you out on the fact that YOU were the one generalizing, not me.

Again, nobody is talking about what they did in real life. You are a fukking idiot that clearly can't read. I don't give a fukk about what they did in the streets we're talking about the content of their MUSIC you dumb fukk. READ THE fukkING THREAD moron.

And Meth was the most popular member overall, as I stated already, everybody fukked with him but the street nikkas gravitated more to Rae and Ghost. Why are you having such a difficult time comprehending such a basic concept? This has nothing to do with anything other than MUSIC. Rae and Ghost made STREET music way more than the other members and RELATABLE street music.

I swear to god I never met a nikka that listened to wu tang

The drug dealer shyt was definitely Rae's lane, but to say that the streets only fukk with that is just wrong.

Take for example DMX, streets fukked with him heavy when he dropped and he was the opposite of fly, get money, nice cars type of dude. Some street nikkaz just want some grimey shyt and Wu was the grittiest muthafukkaz out at that time

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".

Could be age and where you from.

naw nikkas listened to face, meth, and rae, but i never knew anyone who listened to them collectively

Nothing but generalized personal opinions. What do I need to do to classify as a street nikka so I can tell u that your entirely wrong? I lived that era as much as you. Method was the star for everyone street, gutta, alleyway, whatever type nikka.

Man you don't even know what you're arguing. You saw the title and got offended (why, who the fukk knows) and just wanted to argue now you all over the place. Man go get you some Iced Tea and take a seat somewhere and relax. You jumping all over the place.

They were really popular in the early-mid 90s as a collective. Changed after the Forever album though.

 

[Canada Goose]

Wise?

the same dude Ghostface made a classic track about?



man either way he probably wasnt wrong. ODB sounded like a pure soul who was into the whole 5 percenter thing before most of the other members were. but because of how life went down and how he got hooked to drugs, he lost himself and ended up being a caricature of himself, the drugged out crazy one.

in RZAs latest book, he said the last he saw of ODB, he grabbed the RZA and grabbed his son and made them watch himself smoke hard drugs .... afterwards he approached the RZA and said "i dont understand" ... 8 hours later dude was dead

to me that sound like someone pure and real that got caught up in the image and couldnt differentiate himself between the image he created

IDK dude's name, he was a middle age black dude in the documentary.

@FreshAIG is right. In fact, I know a somewhat famous OG who specifically mentioned that Wu inspired a lot of regular ass street nikkas to get into rap because they related to what Rae and Ghost were doing. Rae and Ghost made street rap look easy.

Thank you. For some reason nikkas got their panties in a bunch and started arguing about things I didn't even argue "Oh so now they the only street rappers in the Wu Tang" lol nobody ever said that. Rae and Ghost just rapped in a way that street nikkas relate to. Anybody from the hood can tell you this. This doesn't mean other members weren't popular in the hood or that other members didn't have a fan base of street guys it just means GENERALLY speaking, street guys could associate more with what Rae and Ghost rapped about. That young fly nikka getting money in the streets.

 

[R-Typ3]

They all street dudes, I know that. But that's not the point. When they started breaking into doing their solo shyt, Rae and Ghost were the drug dealing rappers out the Wu so fans gravitated towards them.

Meth wasn't a rapping about the drug game heavy like that at all, ODB wasn't at all, GZA wasn't. And those were the other ones to drop around the same time frame as Rae and Ghost (1994-1996)

For real i keep it real like a piece of blu steel pointed at ya temple with the intent to kill and end your existence

Stop look & listen assume the position i spit on ya grave then.i.grab my Charles dikkens bytch

Ol Dirty was the well known loose cannon and one look/listen to Meth and ya know what's up...so they didn't need to.say something bout movin keys on every song just cause everybody was callin themselves mobstas

 

[LandryFieldsDad]

Rae and ghost were the ONLY reason?
That's silly.
