Lol all these niggaz want to defend Wu now, go to a thread that says "New (insert Wu artist here) - (insert song title here)" they'll be the first to tell you that the shit is Wack
Only a few years ago Hip Hop purists may have felt superior listening to hard core while their less enlightened companions snacked on commercial rap. As Shaolin research began to point out the overwhelming benefits of raw production, true hip hop enthusiasts started turning back to traditional styles. Wu-Tang in particular, has been shown to myriad beneficial effects, from warding off ignorance and poverty to reducing the risk of incarceration and death.
i would think yall would really like odd future they act just like a wucorper.
plus OF doesn't have a gimmick. tyler is just 1 dude out of a diverse clique.

if you wanna talk about cockiness - rza thought he single handedly owned an entire genre of music for five+ years
not that he didn't have a good reason to think that....but i mean c'mon lol. that's hip hop.
ODB next to any other human being would make them look like ben stein
Pretty obvious that they already have a unique identity of their own so they ain't feelin the constant comparisons with an older group that have put out more influential classic better material than they ever will. It doesn't help them to be compared. I think wu probably had a big influence on them but they don't want to acknowledge it when stupid pricks like that DJ bring it up.
whats funny is most of wu-tang says fuck wu-tang nowadays. its sad, but true.
and odd future will never make anything as great as the classics we heard from the wu, and i think thats the main reason they're trying to shut down comparisons. and they're just sick of hearing it.
and ghostlaced.......really? now your calling odd future fags?
but less than a year ago they were the headliners of your "greatest artists to shove up your ipods ass" or whatever the fuck that thread was?
thats some suspect, buster type behavior.
OF are dope. In time who knows maybe they will create as many classic LPs as Wu, but in the meantime its obvious that lazy media hacks use that comparison to pigeonhole them.
Put yourself in their shoes, if you come out with an album what you don't want to hear when theres barely a comparison there is that you remind them of someone else. If i'm talking and someone finishes my sentence I get annoyed. Its pretty much the same logic.
I hate young kids who use "being old" as an insult
I guarantee that in 5 years the world will have forgotten about these
I'd like to see Tyler release a record to the standard of OB4CL2 or Fishscale when he is pushing 40
I don't think the Wu comment was all that bad. It was understanding considering the comparisons. I mean I don't know who the fuck they are, but I do know they've been compared to Wu a lot.
That said, based on the way they acted in this interview, them dudes is corny as hell.
Emotions are for the weak, so I sold mine to the highest bidder.
this thread was formed in the same vein that fox news reports their bullshit.
take a small quote from the interview that in its true context was not even meant in any type of disrespectful way whatsoever.
and push that shit on the wu corp public as an attack on the wu.
the fox news method of information.
listened to the interview. tyler didnt even disrespect the wu at all. its very apparent hes just sick of the comparison, thats all.
i find it amazing that all the internet takes odd future waaaaaayyy more seriously than they take themselves.
fuck, these youngsters are NEVER serious. which in itself is the truly unique thing they've brought to hip hop in 2011. not their music.
Every time they get that comparison, Tyler the Gargoyle should be appreciative and humbled. That's it. Eventually it'll go away if they can make a sound that isn't derivative.
