    Griselda, YOD and Elzhi are still showing everybody that grimy, hardcore rap has a big following. Wu need to rap on better beats and they need to take it as seriously as possible.

    GFK, Mef and INS have been killing it lately. Others, not so much.
    bring back begongo!!

    Anything can be profitable but if they're trying to go through the 'corporate music tunnel' which few humans understand is a single option of out millions, hell no. A lot of work has been done to assure sub-versive black men aren't given those types of platforms, especially in music and media and they won't risk undoing the work. So you can't make this type of group and be a part of the very tempting 'system'. Millennials are also too into conformity and are liberal about inauthenticity for the group to not be lame, and Gen Z literally doesn't listen to music as a form of entertainment. Since people with artistic capacity are usually at dogshit at business too, good luck.

    You write poorly - poor grammar and sentence structure and a lot of buzzwords.

    I mean there must be a better way to phrase whatever the hell you were trying to say in that post.

    I've been thinking about it and to be honest I think that commercially Wu is in better situation than it was in 2007 when they were releasing the 8 Diagrams album. They've solidified their position since then - we have Wu avenue in New York, they have thier own TV shows and I think they're more recognizable for an average American than they were 10 years ago. If they had the proper plan to do it right, they can still bring the ruckus, maybe not for the hip-hop world but they could make it quite big I guess.

    Good point about timing. If they have a solid album to coincide w Hulu season 2 or at least the end that might could work!

    Unfortunately I don't have much confidence that Wu can drop a dope Clan LP today. What could be incredible, though, is a lost sessions-type album from material recorded for previous albums.

    Co sign this. Doubt anything exist though, maybe? Wonder what a Rza solo before Bobby Digital circa late 90s would have sounded like.

    I can see them dragging out the release of a new album until the 30th anniversary of Enter.
