theres always the same respponses to why wu aint the goat from these stans, but here are facts
whether the solos SHOULD count towards wu's GROUP greatness or not, they do. they are still a group (NWA ISNT), they still dominated an era (outkast didnt), they still innovated hip hop (like any other LEGENDARY MC/'s).
they are still talked about, a staple of american culture, put an entire borough on their fukking back, have diverse respect from mostly any genre/group of people. They influence music outside of hip hop.
wu tang is once in a lifetime. 3-4 potential GOAT hip hop album ever reside in their camp. 9 mcs with 5 of them making mostly any top 30 depending on taste in music.
underground AND mainstream at the same time. wu is a conundrum. denying their greatness is like denying simple truths in life like the sky is blue, water is wet, and that judas rat to romans while jesus slept
actual real life criminals who were gangster rappers, while being concious spiritual truth seekers who taught the babies of the ills of the world. wu tang was for the children.. they created their own slang to measure their own greatness cause words cannot measure why wu tang trumps every rap group that ever existed. their weed carriers has better albums than some of the listed names in thsi thread. the deepest roster of nice mcs who still rep the name out of love not money. the ultimate in lyricism, from simple to incredibly dense; and beat making from one dude tutoring his own crew to create HIS sound that is duplicated by the greats today.
wu tang was the ultimate fufillment of hip hops purpose on this world
odb the last real rock star in music history
"all the other artistes is good artistes, but wutang is the best"
