Who was the biggest group of the mid 90's bone thugs, the wu or fugees?

Bone thugs wins Biggest in Terms of sales, Followed by The Fugees. For Me Though As a Hip Hop Head nothing beats the Wu. Bone & The Fugees did alot more Harmony & Singing Than Actual Rapping. Wu Tang was Hip Hop Stripped down to it's Basics...Yea I'm Have to go with the Wu!

Okay when I was a kid..Wu dropped Enter the 36 Chambers and cats was on it. C.R.E.A.M. was everywhere but for the longest time it was the only Wu- song I heard, some people listed to Proteck Ya Neck and Mystery of Chessboxing. Cats didn't really rock with the Fugees that much, they were way too conscious. However BONE? Shit I heard that shit everywhere. When Creepin Up On Ah Come Up dropped No Surrender & Thuggish Ruggish Bone was fish grease in the hood.

Now for my personal opinion I pick Bone as a collective. My reasoning is if you look at Bone's work they had Creepin (1994), E.1999 (1995) and Art Of War in (1997) and that's not mentioning the amount of singles they dropped, they clearly dominated as the group of the 90s.

Wu as a collective disappeared for a few years after Enter The 36 Chambers. There was a massive amount of critically acclaimed solo material but we are talking groups right, so I'm guessing we should be discussing group albums. They only had 2 albums in the whole 10 year span.

The Fugees, rather Lauryn Hill, made a big impact and the crew was strong. I definitely feel The Score is one of the best hip hop albums of the decade. However they only had the one great album.

Hell, Naughty By Nature should be mentioned more than The Fugees for that reason alone.

And to add to this: Bone was a much hated on group during the 90s. 3-6 Mafia, Twista, Do or Die, Crucial Conflict, Psychodrama, Dogg Pound all took shots at them. That type of shit only happens when you on top.

They were also a beloved group too, they did tracks with some of the hottest rap acts of the 90s: Master P, Biggie, 2Pac, and of course Eazy-E. They were literally well represented all across the country.

ok as far as total sales i think fugees have 2 diamond albums to there name

and far as most albums

wu tang was dropping like crazy

as far as bone they had a few grammys ama and a whole bunch of stuff the smart guess is wu fugees where on the level where bep is now they was another level

but my personal chioce was bone thugs i was an addict to there music back then

i specifically named 94-96 because those groups had their most success in that 3 year span

But, you're forgetting Wu-tang Forever dropped in 97 so you're leaving out their most successful album, sales wise. 8.3 mill aint diamond, but it's damn close.

Wu was the best but I dont think it was until Wu Forever (97) that you can say they were the biggest, theres no clear cut winner between fugees and bone as far as who was bigger, thats a close battle, but I'll have to give it to Bone because I remember that East 1999 album just seemed more in demand around my way, that album sucks to me but everyone had that shit

 

[unspoken_respect]

Wu...easy

The Midwest would likely say bone, the east would say Wu. Haiti would probably say Fugees

I 1st want say every one of these groups were the shit and we don't have groups no where near this dope or popular now but my vote goes to Bone Thugs. The Fugees only had The Score and Wu Tang were a bit regional at that time. Other than the backpackers nobody was really that into Wu Tang outside the eastcoast.

Wu Tang is for the children
