are the only classic albums to me, niggas are on some reminiscent shit and hyperbole about classics. the rest of those albums on the list are 4 mic albums, except for Wu Tang forever, that's a 3.5 mic album.

i salute mumo x for this thread of pure truth. you cant argue with those facts and numbers. every 1st round wu solo went platnium or better. every second round wu solo went gold or better. 4/5 of the wu group albums went platnium or better. wu affilaties range from gold to 6 figure record sales. worldwide influence. cult following. and these niggas NEVER sold out. co sign with the t/s nobody fuckin the wu. RZA ceo skills>Jay Z ceo skills. the loud deal was unprecedented. Jay Z has never brokered a deal like that. if you think iovine or any of them other slave owners will ever let a artist under their contract go do paperwork with another label kill yourself right now. Jay Z cant even market cole the right way. RZA was going to board meetings in the early 90s getting all his niggas on with solo deals. it may not be a big deal to you 90 crackbabies but that shit is top 3 power move of all time in hip hop. wu wear, wu tang films, wu tang production, the wu mansion and that dont count the side projects each core member has going on (theodore unit, ice water, etc). look at the fuckin roster mumo posted tho. you cant even get 2 rappers in the studio at the same time nowadays. it had to take a true leader to keep 150+ niggas under a brand in one step. besides ugod and cappadonna mad because they blowin they money you cant find one nigga that has anything fucked up to say about RZA. every wu member to affiliate has nothing but love for this dude. cant say the same for puffy or jay z. oh yeah plus RZA is the GOAT hip hop producer.

Why is Return to 36 Chambers and Beneath The Surface not up there, but Made In Brooklyn and 421 are? Oh well...

And yeah, Wu Tang Clan aint nothin to fuck wit

U heard of Liquid Swords or ironman? Shit is better lyrically than anythin Jay Z ever put out. and lol at Wu Tang Forever being a 3.5 mic album-- it only had one bad track. the rest be classics and near classic songs. Mos def the GOAT Hiphop double CD

If Food and Liquor, Black Album are being labelled classic then why not tical?

I salute you too my brother tomp!!! -- One of the few brothers who are well versed bout the hiphop culture. RZA is the only Mogul who never snaked/blackballed his fellow business partner and his Wu family for financial gain. He never at any one time compromised his morals,beliefs and intergrity...

RZA to me birthed 3 top 10 hiphop producers of all time. who can claim that? not even premo and dre.

Wu Tang imo is the most feared and respected group in hiphop and not Deathrow. Pac and Suge knew wassup when they raised hell on a whole Eastcoast they dint say shit bout Wu and RZA considering he wuz lacing beats for Prodigy,Nas,Biggie and them...

RZA imo = Suge = Master P>>>>>>>>> Dre/Jay/Diddy/Irv/Dash

Why is Return to 36 Chambers and Beneath The Surface not up there, but Made In Brooklyn and 421 are? Oh well...

And yeah, Wu Tang Clan aint nothin to fuck wit

its all bout preference son, choosin Wu's best albums is tough

whut up brotha Mumo

 

[lamontbdc]

you forgot all about rap a lot the 1st black owned independent rap label. bobby digital and tical are far from classic, and i fuck with Ironman but never considered it a classic. I can agree with the rest of them being classic. WU tang forever is the GOAT double disc

 

[H-Rap 180]

C/S great thread.

In terms of impact on the culture Wu Tang are the goats

I mean damn, they fed the whole city and their music always had some element of wisdom in it on that NGE science.

Wu Tang Forever.

 

[coolc31]

It would all depend on what you wanted to hear. I like some of their stuff, but I've never been the biggest fan. 36 Chambers, OB4CL & Liquid Swords are my favorite from the group. I listened to the rest, but they weren't part of my daily rotation. They were the most lyrical group ever in my opinion with the exception of maybe the Juice Crew, but again, it depends on what you like. They definitely made magic when they came together though. They have some classic tracks without a doubt.

 

[DarkRaiden]

Wu Tang Clan ain't nothing to fuck with....

 

[chillg]

Good thread Mumo waiting for a yunging to say YMCMB you know they thinking it.

 

[VulcanRaven]

rofl @ people thinking that a white man is not the RZA's boss.You ca not even compare RZA to Jay as a ceo when cole has more hype than anything the RZA has done since Wu-Tang Forever.Last time you saw a thread on here or heard in person anyone talking about an artist that the RZA signed? Never.Has the RZA even signed any new artist?Wu Music Group is not even relevant today and they got raped buy Loud back in the day.No one from the Wu has had a hit album since Wu-Tang Forever.I own most of their 90s albums.but this thread is bullshit.

Wu is legendary, but can't match the classics of Scarface, Do Or Die, Geto Boys, Devin The Dude, Z-Ro, Big Mike, A-G-2-A-KE, Pimp C, and Bun B all dropping group or solo albums on Rap A Lot

 

[lion_heart]

No way Bobby Digital is a classic album. That was one of the weakest Wu albums. Tical is a near classic. I don't give a fuck Killarmy dropped a classic debut Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars

These things just took over me

Just took over my whole body

So I can't even see no more

I'm calling my black woman a bitch

I'm calling my peoples all kinds of thing that they not

I'm lost brother, can you help me

Can you help me brother, please

You see what we did, we lost the love

I'm talking 'bout the love

The love of your own

But brother, but brother, but brother, check this out

I still don't understand man, I'm all high off this shit man

Well, what I'm trying to say my brother

Why, why do we kill eachother

Look at our children, what kind of a future

This is the training thats gonna be given to you

By the Wu, brothers and sisters

(The revolution, the revolution)

It's time to rise, and take our place

Will be televised, televised

So we can inherit the universe

The planet earth belongs to God

This is ninety, ninety, ninety-seven

Every square inch of it

That he chose for himself

Is the best part

Yeah, the revolution should be, televised)

By every strong woman

To the highest power

You'll find a strong man

And by every strong man

You'll find a strong woman

Wont you agree

The universe is not completed

Without the sun, moon, and stars

Wont you be for real

Thats man, woman, and child

To the highest power

To all you fake ass niggas who

Think you gonna survive out here

Without your black woman, you're wrong

They have attraction powers on the planet

I wanna be free

We are original man, the Asiatic black man

The maker, the arthur, the cream of the planet earth

Wanna be free, yeah

Father of civilization and daughter of the universe

Want to be free, oh yeah

The population was seventeen men

With the two man indians

Making a total of nineteen men for all

Being, for all men, all over the planet earth

Magneta, magneta, magneta, Wu revolution king yeah

Arise you gods, cause the time for the revolutional war

Thats the mental war

Malcolm X, Malcolm X, Malcolm X

Thats the battle between god and devil

Gonna be free

Take the devil off your plane

Take him off your mental mentality

Take him off your brain

Make a change, from my mind

Leave all the ciggarettes and guns

The alcohol and everything

Thats the mental devil that exists within your body

Take this pain

Thats destroying and decaying your mind

Take these chains, off my mind

The mind controls the body

Everything within must come out

Want to be free

Don't look towards the sky

Cause there's no heaven above

Don't look down beneath your feet

There's no hell below

Want to be free

But heaven and hell exist within

Heaven is what you make it and

Hell is what you're going through

There is only one, god

There is a whole new one, faith

There is a holy one

World, revolution yeah

At one time it was told to me

Yeah

That man came from monkeys, ha ha ha

That we was swinging from trees

I hardly can believe that unlees

I'm dumb deaf and blind

Save the children

You ever heard about the ape man

Gonna be free

And the ape woman

Hey, want to be free

You have a mankind

That has a beginning to him

And its ending is about to come

Oooh, yeah

If you take one step

I will take one with you

Through the stormy vein

Swim the deepest sea, with you my brother

I know, you got to be strong

Gotta hold on

Now the story is about to close

It was a hundred percent of us

Save the children

That came on the slave ships

Eighty five percent of our future

They're our future

Was uncivilized

Poison animal eaters

They're slaves of the mental powers

Save the children

They don't know who the true living god is

And all the orchards in the world

Save the children

So they worship what they know not

And let evil lead them in the wrong direction

Far fewer men than right

Now you got the ten percent

Who are rich slave niggas of the poor

Who teach the poor lies

To make the people believe

That the old mighty true living god

Is a spook in the sky

Save the children

And you can't see him with the physical eyes

They're also known as blood suckers of the poor

Save the children

And then you got the five percent

Who are the poor rightous people who do not believe

The teachers of the ten percent

Save the children

Who is all wise and know that the true

And living god, and teach that the true

And living god is supreme being black

Man from within

Otherwise known as civilized people

Also Muslims, and Muslims sons

Peace we out

I have given it much thought

It seems, disaster must come

At best, only postponed

Shaolin Kung-Fu to survive

Must now be taught to more young men

We must expand, get more pupils

So that the knowledge will spreads

My bad i forgot Rap-a-lot....they have given us contless classics but i dont think they close to Wu's impact musically.

What bout Wu-Forever? If LAD, AEOM, ART OF WAR are dubbed as Classics then why not Wu Forever considering its better than any double album in the history of the culture.......

Tical is criminally underrated ....smh, imo its Classic.
