The Real Talk Thread...

Again, the Wu were about as original as NWA. The most unique thing about Wu was that it was 9 emcees with different styles in one group. Their subject matter and content was no different from Ra, G. Rap or Slick Rick. ODB was the only member of the group that was really an original. There really was no father to his style. Wu Tang having more classic material than NWA is arguable especially if you count solos.

Wu Tang definitely did not influence more artists than NWA. That's definitely laughable especially when you have artists like Scarface and the Geto Boys, T.I., the whole No Limit movement, OutKast and several other artists that have cited the group as an influence. Most of the West Coast artists that blew up were affiliated w/ NWA in some form or fashion like Warren G, Nate Dogg, Snoop, The Game, The D.O.C. etc.

If you want to talk revolutionary, let's talk about how NWA's name bearing what is thought of as the most derogatory word in the English language. They had an album with the word spelled backwords on it. That's huge especially at the time that they debuted. The U.S. government wanted their music banned. All of the business moves that you are crediting the Wu with are things that they pioneered. The only thing revolutionary were the solo deals that each member had w/ different labels. Even still, you had NWA revolutionizing the independent game. When you look at the labels and legacies that came out of NWA, this shouldn't even be arguable.

So other rappers incorporated chinese philosophy into their music and played chess and had clothing brands before wu? Rza revolutionized production while Dre piggy backed the whole G funk thing off of Erick Sermen,the bomb squad and sir jinx. Yo cats definetly ain't up on yall history Ice T was making the same type of music NWA was. This is a group that is only praised for being the first gangsta rappers which they were not so how is that revolutionary? Yeah snoop and Em and Bone was signed by these guys but you can't sit here and act like they were apart of NWA besides Snoop and Em both cite Rakim as their major influence. NWA didn't have different label until they broke up niggas was all under ruthless records before that point. And Richard Prior and Paul Mooney was using the word nigga proudly in the 70s don't act like they was the firstr black people to ever use the word.
