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+

Did people expect them to make another 36 Chambers? They were different people by then and the music had evolved a ton by 1996/97 to even try and emulate that early 90’s sound. Wu Tang Forever was an amazing album and for me there were hardly any skips except Black Shampoo and Dog shyt.

Wu Tang fell off after 1997, their peak was 1993(36 Chambers)-1997(Forever), they became too oversaturated with all those affiliate projects, I don’t care how “dope” they may have been, those projects watered down the brand. Rza should’ve took a more hardline stance and kept some quality control over the logo and the brand, including making sure he oversaw every Wu project (core 9/10 members) albums to make sure the quality was up to par. When we started getting random “The Swarm Vol 1” albums that’s when I knew it was over.
