Wu-Tang and white people

[Wiseborn]

It's the studios and it's the public both. Look at the fukking dumbass shyt that gets pumped up. I mean no studio made Blueface hot or a lot of the more worthless of the trap rappers yet there they are.

Yeah I wonder what happened? I remember when Field Mob came out and I thought it was a parody album, I remember going to Black College Reunion and there was somebody promoting some rap group that had an album called Slaves to the game It had a plantation scene. Now when I went down south to college and saw cotton fields and confederate monuments I used to clown the locals heavy, I wonder what made them embrace the stereotypes?

Wu Tang said shyt in their rhymes that I thought did or would've said back then but I wouldn't have been able to flip shyt by sneaking in what they wanted to say that cleverly. Nikkas nowadays openly admit that they started rapping for a check. I get that nobody raps for free but back in the day rap nikkas understood that the average consumer would say Nikka why should I support you when I can do the same thing you do?

I love Wu but I'll avoid a cac bytch wearing Fila Disruptors or has a Wu tattoo.

Interesting that you brought this up I noticed this shyt, the archetype is usually hypebeast cacs, Wiggas, Euro Cacs, Hip Hop elitist and backpackers. Wu cac fans remind me of a sophisticated version of the Juggalos.

 

[Amor fati]

they love 90s shyt, espescially rap like wu tang that is east coast . Add their aesthetic of superheros/martial arts/ etc and you got why some cacs are obsessed with them.

Good point they like 90's shyt but them cacs be glossing over 90's mid-west, South and West rap unless it acts like Pharcyde, Souls Of Mischief, Rass Kass and Jurrasic 5 because they are East Coast influenced.

 

[Amor fati]

Very good point. They toured with Rage Against the Machine so they got exposed to a rokk crowd

Yeah I believe in 97 but it was brief Wu dropped out of the tour.

Cuz them wu tang nikkas weird that’s why

 

[old pig]

Nah, I didn't mean it in an absolute sense. I'm speaking about most of em. Most white people I know don't know shyt about hip hop. To be fair, that's most people in general from my experience. Like breh, they don't know nobody before 2010. Outside of Pac, Biggie, and NWA. Not even 2000's acts. I was talking about rich boy one day because that's my cousin's uncle, and they didn't even know what Throw Sum D's was.

This Alabama, you gotta know that shyt. It was everywhere. I ain't surprised they don't know Rich Boy cuz he ain't been buzzing for a while. But you would think they'd remember the song.

But you're right about the one's that are into it. I'd never disrespect that because I like artists like EL P and Paul Wall who you can tell are genuine. Although, some white dudes can come off as kinda corny about it. Like they feel they have to try too hard to be authentic.

I get you now pimpin

Because Wu-Tang is a 2 for 1 culture vulture special. Hiphop and Kung Fu, that's two minorities getting vulturized at the same time.

Martial Arts and Black Culture intertwined during the 70s though. The black Panthers used self defense techniques and hand to hand combat. Plus, kids were watching kungfu movies. Blacks back then were more into Japanese culture than white kids today.

listened to that album last week, it's not terrible but that's when the end started, RZA started going bobby digital on the group and that album felt like everyone emailed their verse in.

That album was dope. The problem is people always want 36 Chambers Wu. Everyone had verses on that album. That album needed more

felt conjoined, had 2 terrible songs on there (gravel pit and the song with snoop) and it was short.

 

[Listen]

Wasn't Onyx another big one? And how old are you?

43.

Onyx was more like a one album wonder. To this day, I know grown up white women in mom jeans doing pre buys for Snoop concerts lol.

I could get 20 dudes to go to a ATCQ show before they broke up/Phife died anytime they came within a 2 hour drive.. Ill still see Wu Tang shirts on random dudes lmao.

 

[DaHNIC82]

I aint never heard a person in my life outside here say Wu tang music is white folk radio friendly. When the fukk some of yall get into hip hop?
