Hot Boys in RARE form on this underground GEM..... This is why I say they were better than the WU !

[(Nope)]

The Wu were a giant in the East, the impact was crazy ,but not everyone in NY loved the WU, lots of listeners were turned-off because of the esoteric nature of their music. (Kung fu references, Supreme Math)

They also revolutionized the way groups/labels did business in the record industry, someone more knowledgeable about the inner workings of their label situation could expound on that. (@H-Rap 180 did.)

If you lived in the east an album like "Liquid Swords" , sounded cold ,sounded like winter , it was meant to sound that way , it was real vivid, it was real visual.

That album is flawless to me, but I could see why someone from a warmer climate wouldn't relate to that album the same way.

Method Man-"Sub Crazy" , gave you that raw, digi-smoke ,dusted out feeling ...leak was huge in the streets at that time.

Tekitha's voice was fucking amazing, I could go on and on , for a period of time the Wu were untouchable.

They had and still have a huge impact on Hip Hop, if it wasn't for the Rza there would be no Just Blaze or Kanye West.

So many rap-crews above and underground modeled themselves after the WU, or took that style and tried to run with it.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but this is apples and oranges.

 

[juan travolta]

i like both. i prefer listening to hot boys though.

lyric for lyric there not seeing wu's weakest member.

 

[5th Letter]

Why you couldn't give the hot boys props without throwing the wu name in your thread title? You looking for attention?

 

[J-GUTTA]

The fact that i can still pull out get it how you live and guerrila warfare and still bump them all the way through with appreciation speaks volumes. Wu tang always seemed likea group only new yorkers, asians, and skaters could appreciate. 36 chambers is a classic but it didnt age well.

The dude who said hotboys changed the game is correct, they introduced stunt rap (bling, big rims).

Hotboys art of composing a story on raps is 2nd to none. Its mostly regional bais that seperates the appreciation for the 2 groups. East coasters caught feelings and cant actually give the hb's the props they need. Every year people ask if the hotboys are back together yet.

Yeah because Slick Rick, Big Daddy Kane, Dana Dane, and fuck yo I guess you can throw in the Bad Boy Shiny Suit era in there too.

It's just plain and simple after Juvenile blew up that's when the rest of the country took notice to them, Wu came out 1st record not even an album and caught the ear of damn near everyone no one had seen 9 members in 1 group spittin lyrics. For people to say they all they do is ramble ya'll are fucking simple minded muthafuckas. Doesn't age well ? Okay if you say subject matters like "Can't it be all so simple", "C.R.E.A.M" arem't being spun into new songs everyday on some simple shit. But what does age well is the guy who is credited with Bling Bling doesn't even wear jewelery any more except on his boston bake bean teeth. But I guess what is going to age well is grown men gang banging.

 

[CottonCitySlim]

Wayne was the worst hb still is.

Those rappers had jewelry yes but not all diamonded out fake or not until these boys did, even if someone did it was probally was before my era since cmr run came when i was a freshman. Thats what i remember....

 

[runningwolf1980]

Impact Wise?......t/s didnt say shit about what type of impact they had on the game......i just dont see how its so hard to understand that people relate to shit thats closer to them, using the slang they use.....once again i got love for wu tang but i never heard nobody slappin them in the whip.....just like im sure boosie aint gettin play up in the "Boroughs", and i can understand that....

as much as ya'll dont want to believe it....Wu-Tang is not "classic" in the south.....but its a few worldly college niggas on that shit

Notice how half of them classic's were pushed out of trunks and mom and pop spots but still found their way to best buy's and FYI's.............

^^^^^^ T/S.

Me and T/S might be engaged in a convo that's over other peoples heads so when he tells me about moving CDs out the trunk and

Mom & PoP spots I'm going to respond from my angle about label deals and publishing.

^^^^^ not everyone gon relate to dat shit so many words used outta context in dat 1st verse

Yo yo assassination vaccination poor education

infatuation with Satan with global nataion taxation

Fiberoptic microscopic biological germ

Mad Cow burger on the market, Captain a nigga starship

I never departed once I started

to explore these regions that was uncharted

Leave your heart broken, y'all stand tall

like buildings on Van Dyke's, all mics

Beats strike like a noisy four train late night

Chase got New York for the Life, we out of state

Can't smoke a bone in the staircase with out gettin chased

Penny candy poisonous rappers, best to chill or get your head gashed

Lemonhead, sour Patch kids, best to grab

a Life Savor, I'll Jawbreak ya, Boston Bake ya

Then plant my sunflower seed on every square acre

The beauty of my nature shown through Shaquaisha I Mecca

When I made myself Equality, known to my reflector

Stay in your playpen boy, and babble for your formula and cried

you pacified, this lullaby from the black butterfly

 

[John_Blazini]

not everyone can relate to candy paint.... selling drugs but talent is talent etc.... Wu makes u think... shit even to this day i will listen to some shit and be like... oh shit thats what he meant... WU is world wide son... a sound loved all over the globe... WU is a brand that niggas all over paid to be down with.... Wu was some other shit... Im not knocking HB i like some of their stuff but compared to WU nah son.
