Real talk my n*ggas. That sh*t was a risky nation wide move right there. Now I understood the movement because I'm from NY and grew up watching old Kung fu flix on Saturday and Sunday afternoons while stuck in the crib.

But was ya other states really feeling that movement at first before the solo albums came out? Real question.

Martial arts has always been big in our community up until recent times.

an extremely smart move from rza at the time, it gave them a unique branding that n*ggas really fu*ked with and it was enhanced by everyone in the wu being in their prime rapping their a*ses off.

All the answers are No in different words

Loved it

This just a thread for wu haters to get they sh*t off. Slapped

I thought it was dope but on a sidenote some bx members are extremely selective when they use the term "culture vultures"

first slap- reasons for slap: being a bi*ch a*s, non humorous try hard for random male strangers on the internet on a Saturday morning

Culture vultures don’t give respect or credit to the culture they are “vulturing” from

Wu-tang always showed respect to the Asian/kung-fu community and that community always respected wu-tang clan

Vlad gives respect to hip hop all the time and gets called a culture vulture

2 keep it a buck, i dont think other regions felt wu-tang like that. they bcame super big bcuz they had the mtv machine behind them all the way til about 98. but i dont think they captured the south, mid-west, n westcoast like that. they was loved in the northeast 4 a little bit but it died down as their radio presence n mainstream presence died in the late 90s

i will probably say that the wu tang s**t with all the karate probably helped make them a bigger presence in china or japan. i think they also had a fanbase in europe. but in ghettos outside of the tri-state, i don't think they grabbed the hood like that

Kung Fu and western flicks were low key popular back in the 80’s-90’s. Wu-Tang took that Kung Fu scenery and applied it to their lifestyle and hardships, then made it a structure on how they approached things. It’s way deeper than you think. Each member adapted their own style from their movie names. Rza was a genius. When they hit the scene, n*ggas was like who tf are these n*ggas on this martial arts sh*t? That’s what caught people’s attention. Then everyone started biting their sh*t

Wu Tang goat group

NYC legendary group

Goat city for real

Honestly, white people really locked into wutang. I don’t know if it the kung fu sh*t did it, but white people locked onto them.

And that was all there was on tv especially on weekends. Horror movies kung fu and cartoons on Saturday morning

Where you from fam?

He’s called a vulture because people don’t agree with his interview style of getting people to incriminate themselves for profit and views

Willy Boban said Where you from fam?

right around the block from you

Apparently not because once hot97 stopped playing they sh*t they fell tf off

That’s facts I remember moving to ga…I was jamming wu and peers started clowning at first but one senior n*gga shot me bail like “hold up what wu u bumping” then he was like “nah he green, the sh*t he bumping was when wu was actually good”

Wutang core fanbase was always NY + international. I never thought they were huge anywhere else in the US

If a rapper did a song with slim Jesus or somebody like that on some get that bag, they hot sh*t, we ain't gonna respect it. That's the sh*t vlad does. He doesn't care about the health of the culture. He just wants to make bread off it. Imagine sway having slim Jesus up there

If any act is popular then they are locked onto them
