What groups out there do you think are biting NWA?
Im thinkin Phillys Most Wanted...
-
I know someone whos always sayin how they think the Wu Tang Clan are ... but i don't know myself cause i have'nt heard enough of there stuff to tell ...
-
Compton's Most Wanted
H.W.A (Stands for Hoez With Attitude)...
-
CMW biting NWA? naw i always thought their shit was a lot more jazzy and more laid back then the in-your-face NWA style. lyrics were on the same page but they were both from compton so go figure.
just my opinion
it could be said that most gangsta rap out today is biting nwa in some way, although they didnt start G-Rap they were the first to really blow it up major.
-
Ice-T and N.W.A were the first gangsta rappers to have major label release,no? Hardly anyone was doing gangsta rap but after NWA and Ice-T started making it sell everyone stopped and said "SHIT,this shit could sell!!!" and everyone started doing it,and gangsta rap really hasn't changed much since then either, alot of gangsta rap out to this day and still the same shit, surprisingly, alot of it is still good. Not surprisingly alot of it is whack as well,go fig,peace-Tanjint
-
CMW had the same exact cover as "SOC" on one of their albums...Now tell me how that's not biting?
-
In my opinion every group wants to be like NWA. They all want the legacy and respect NWA has gotten.
-
That's true...Everyone wants the attention NWA has gotten...
-
One of the only groups that have the same legendary status is Wu-Tang.
-
haha..the same shit they spittin now...NWA has been over it....all ready...
Gangsta Music 101
study your NWA tapes.....lol....
Damn...I havent once read anywhere....anybody today, that gave thanks to NWA in their interviews........
-
wu tang EASILY can hold the same status as nwa did and still do....
what i find is that a lot of people dont give the wu a chance...for instance, lots of people bought 'The W' bumped it once, wasnt feelin it, so never reallly bumped it again....but if you REALLY listen to that shit youll find that it was one of the hottest albums of last year....
also, i think the reason wu tang arent rated as highly as nwa by most people is because theyve never had real stand out singles of choruses or nothing......just masterpiece albums.....
infact, i gotta go bump 'Only Built....' right now
peace.....
-
They don't have any highly regarded artists either. NWA has Eazy, Dre and Cube. They are all recognized as pioneers of West Coast hip-hop. Wu-Tang doesn't have that yet.
-
Method Man is highly regarded...
-
But not nearly as much as Eazy, Dre and Cube.
-
Assasin is right...
method man is there....
but besides that? who makes noise in the Wu tang camp..
dont get me wrong the WU can bring it, and i liked there last CD,
Ghost is cool..
RZA
And GZA,
there style is just not as accepted like Eazy and DRE....not too many fools on the west coast can relate to the Shaloin style.....I cant lie...i rather bump Front 2 back while i am rollin down the street.....
But Gravel Pit was off the hook..
-
my bad..i forgot about the
ODB!!!!
Crazy mutha...
-
i like the wu but no group in rap history except PE and Run DMC will ever live up to the NWA legacy
no one single group has been as influencial straight up, they're so influential that their legacy can be felt in Rock music now tell me one other group that can say that? naw
i repeat i like the wu tang clan but you can't deny that they are slowly becoming worse with every album solo/group
36 chambers-classic
tang forever-good album
the w- hardly good (i've tried to let this album grow on me and listened to it a grip but the cold hard fact is it sux)
i reapeat again i like wu tang, but you can't forget the whack sophmore albums
meth
tical-dope as fuck
judgment day-whack as fuck cept 3 nice trax
ODB
return to the 36-very very dope
nigga please- nigga please is right
GZA
Liquid swords-classic/near classic
beneath the surface-lyrics were ok, but where was the production?
(i won't even mention his pre wu-album which got 1 mic at allmusic.com)
Raekwon
cuban linx-best wu album to dat
Ja rules album was better than "imorbilarity"
capadonna
the pilige-tight album bumped it for a year straight
ying yang-it was ok only listened to it for about 2 weeks
ugod
he's one of my favorite killa beez but his album was gayer than richard simons and elton john between the sheets
inspectah deck has a tight album
called "uncontrolled substance" i don't know how his follow up is turning out though
RZA's "bobby digital" album was gayer than the ugod cd, nice production though
ghost face is the only one not to surcome to the sophmore slump
i ain't bagging on wu tang at all like i said before i like the wu tang clan alot but please don't say they're up there with NWA....true NWA's former member have had their fall off points too but at their peaks have been waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more influencial than the clan, dre's production will forever be the best around Cube set new standards for MC's, MC Ren is Known as one of the hardest core mc's ever and Eazy E is one of the first major superstars of rap
it's like saying Karl Malone is a better ball player than Michael Jordan...
-
i'd have to say that alot of groups want to be like NWA they were the first hardcore gangsters and know we have CASH MONEY and BLING BLING ... ;D... which try to be gangsters as well... but there bitchs just like p-daddy.... NWA was the greatest ... if Eazy won't of pasted away they would of still been kicken a$$...... ;)
-
Concerning the WU, All of the solo albums before Wu-Tang Forever are considered classics. So Is their first and second albums. The only solo album since then to even come close to reaching the 5 mic, all out classic status was GHostface's Superme Clintele. I thought it was a classic eastcoast album myself. Now when talking of NWA, I've seen a lot of groups that have reminded me of them from time to time. The SCC, CMW, and most recently, but really nowhere near as good, Ja Rule and The Murderers. Not the sound, but the mentality.
-
i think its wrong to say that none of the wu solo albums have been as good as the ones before wu tang forever....
for instance
killa bees is better than tical
its also better than diry's first album
and the first killarmy album is better than tical too.....
immortability is not as good as cuban kinks thats for sure but it isnt wack....neither is bobby digital (infact, bobby digital is probably in the top 3 east coast albums production wise to drop since enter the wu tang)
and i feel what your saying about wu not appealing to west coast heads but i still maintain my view that 'The W' is a dope ass lp.
i just cant see how anyone can say Tical is a classic and The W is bad....i mean, compare the two!
here are my top wu albums in order (wu members only, includes compilations)
1. only built... - Raekwon
2. Enter the Wu Tang (36 Chambers)
3. Ironman - Ghost
4. Liquid Swords - GZA
5. Killa Beez
6. Supreme Clientele - Ghost
7. Killa Beez
8. The W
9. Tical - Method Man
10. Bobby Digital in Stereo - RZA
11. Wu Tang Forever
12. Return to the 36 chambers - ODB
13. Wu Chronicles
14. Beneith the Surface - GZA
15. Golden Arms Redemption - U GOd
16. Immortability - Raekwon
17. The Pillage - Cappadonna
