Was '99 the year when Wu Tang started to show cracks in the armor with jawns like Rae's Immobilarity, GZA's Beneath the Surface, Dirt's Ni$%a Please+

That album is better than Kendrick Lamar's entire existence..... or the year before when RZA solo-joint dropped and it wasn't "The Cure" . . .

97’ if we being honest
Most older heads won’t feeling Wu Forever
then the second wave of all those second solos and RZA’s Bobby Digital album was the nail in the coffin

Most of us saw the cracks in '97.
The run was over right after Forever dropped.

I see! lol
Yeah I can only how hard it was for them all to get back together after getting money and having success the first time around
I’m sure egos were inflated and nikkas was feeling themselves lol
And you get comfortable because you got more money than you’ve ever had so that hungry that once had ain’t there like that
Agreed but they recovered in 2000 with SC and The W. It was really over after that.
And the affiliates dropped some classic material in 97, 98 and 99. The first two Killarmy albums, Sunz of Man, Killah Priest, Cappa, La The Darkman, Wu Syndicate all had dope albums.

That's what RZA said, but he wasn't blameless either though, lol.
They stopped sticking together, and RZA started wanting to branch out to do other things. So he wasn't focused on the beats as much, so the tracks got wacker. Then certain dudes in the group didn't want to cut management their share anymore and felt they could manage themselves. It was a damn mess. And it really seems like they never fixed any of that.

Word. I definitely feel like after '96, the affiliates were making much better music than the actual Wu.
I loved Forever, but heads a lil older than me were not feeling a track like "It's Yours", talkin' about the production was TOO polished

It sad because as quickly as it came together and they hit their stride, it fell apart quicker
