WuTang is one of the most influential groups in all of musical history not just limited to the realm of hip hop.
Seriously thinking about it, 25 years after their debut there will never be a group of 10 guys who get together and make a platinum album and then go solo bringing in 10 gold albums. They really are the black Beatles but even better considering they have more strength in nunbers and still tour today. I am glad I got to see them perform live, it was special for me.
That's only because talent is no longer a factor in determining who sells records

>wu-tang forever x9 I loved Wu-Tang but the problem is they are totally dated now with the exception of a few 'oldies'. They brought white people into rap in a big way because they touched on so many themes relevant and cool to 80s babies/gen x and early-millennials, and surely they we're dope as fuck, better than tupac and big imho, but maybe because they also appealed to the pseudo intellectual white boi and nigga alike (although by all accounts they had a lot more organized connections than both those dead niggas). but their music just hasn't been very relevant in this decade. they should be in the the rock n roll hall of fame tho, and i'd go as far to say they did a lot for racial harmony in the 90s.
also for some reason remembering which members of the clan were who really helped me with my racial recognition skills and i feel like a lot of LEOs can relate to this and it kinda blew back on them but nobody wants to talk about it
