Stronger '90s rap song? Wu-Tang Clan – “Triumph” VS. Bone Thugs-n-Harmony – “Tha Crossroads”

[TripleAgent]

Yeah there's alot more white ppl in the world breh makes sense.

As if the crowd at a BTNH show is all brehs

Wu is just better. They have a catalog of fire that will last forever, and still dope. BTNH did their numbers but didn't have the lasting power.

You'd have to be stupid or trolling to argue otherwise

Crossroads is like top five biggest rap song of the 90s

Need to know what "stronger" means in the context of the question before I respond.

Yeah there's alot more white ppl in the world breh makes sense.

White people love BONE. How else do you think they were doing 3-4 mill regularly, stayed at #1 for 8 weeks, and won a Grammy?

Crossroads..It's not close, really.Crossroads might be the biggest rap single ever released.

 

[Westbama Heartthrob]

In terms of sales, crossroads was bigger

But just based on which I like more, probably triumph

Tbh, it's surprising how big both songs were while having lyrics most people would find incomprehensible

Especially triumph since it doesn't even have a hook

 

[King Sun]

As wu stan bone thugs Crossroads was jsut the better song and the strongest. People still play that song at funerals

Wu - Still doing arena tours in 2023, selling out shows world wide

BTNH -

You -

[$cam-U-Well_Jack$on]

Both Crossroad versions>>>>>>>>

I gotta go with this.

 

[LevelUp]

Triumph

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

Crossroads was a global phenomenon.Maybe only The Message, and Fight The Power could approach that same tier.Triumph is falling well short.

 

[RIPODB]

If you watched mtv or listened to the radio back then you know crossroads was on. All the time.

But then again I knew tons of people that didn’t even really like rap but still knew every word of that Deck verse.

Great question.

You sound furious

no one is playing Wu Tang in the hood outside Northeast
