lets have a discussion.. who has the BIGGER movement at their peaks ..

[blade br0wn]

Of course its the Wu for obvious reasons...

The realm that their music covered geographically... unmatched by any other rap group in the 90s - present...

However,

The Diplomats probably had the biggest impact on my generation... certainly had an effect on me...

Like DT43 mentioned, people downplay how big this movement was...

I think their radical style in the beginning of thier movement (Dipset Taliban) caused a lot of people to misunderstand them... But I thought it made their music a lot more enjoyable...

I actually included DI1 in a term paper I did for my Honors English class my freshman year of college...

And do any of his albums even come CLOSE to any of the Wu solo's I mentioned?

Cam the only dude in the crew with a solid string of songs and albums. And he been fallin' off.

I'd take Masta Killa's album over both of those. And I *%+$# with Jim (NH) just 'cause he a wild boy.

your assessment was on point except for your backpacker over reach talkin about takin masta killa over killa cam & jim

word

I don't know about that one either. I don't even recall the Dips  putting out mixtapes like that when people were clamoring for 50 Cent Is The Future and those other tapes. At least to my knowledge, someone correct me.

? dipset vol 1 dropped literally within weeks of 50 cent is da future...them 2 & d-block's mixtape run was something EPIC back in da day....

da outta boros was more g-unit fans/d-block BX & manhattan was dipset country.

Man, those days were the days. Dipset/D-Block/G Unit. It seemed like them cats were dropping mixtapes every other week. Add in Wayne, Fab, Cassidy, Clipse, and that's why I think 2001-2004 was the last great era in hip-hop.

Funny. At the end of my Dungeon Fam post, I was going to say "I don't consider a movement having cats wearing pink and running around saying 'what's really good', 'AYE', and 'no %#+@'."

I'd like to think a movement is bigger than that. If that's "the biggest thing to happen" to a generation, I'm glad I'm not a part of that generation.

Brothers did their thing though. And I'm a cat who spent much time in Harlem and still be around there from time to time. So it's no hate. It just wasn't ALL that.

I swear, these dudes said "the only movement movin'" and cats really believed these dudes stood for something.

ninja, I meant Masta Killa album was doper than Jim's whole albums. Not Cam at all.

I want to give the edge to WuTang because I think they had more of an international reach,
during a time where the mixtape scene and internet were not a major factor
