Both Bizzy Bone and Flesh-N-Bone have been through tumultuous times of late with Flesh having been incarcerated for a lengthy term and Bizzy almost preferring to stay disconnected, insisting that he remain a guest to the skeletal core of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Last time Bone Thugs appeared in Australia they were saddled amidst a cavalcade of West Coast juggernauts in Ice Cube, WC, Snoop Dogg and Tha Dogg Pound, but only three members of the group were involved. We tryin’ to get everything together, it’s a very positive vibe going on at the moment.” “Everything is cool man, we taking it one day at a time. “We’ve got a few issues but hopefully everything will work out and we can get on this tour,” Henderson says reassuringly of the continuation of the Bone Thugs saga. With the braids cut off and weed off the menu in 2010, the Cleveland mainstays of harmonised hip hop are back together for now. It’s been ten years at least since the five original members of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony have assembled on one album, and accompanying Uni5: The World’s Enemy is an Australia tour for Krayzie, Layzie, Wish, Bizzy and Flesh-N-Bone. Bone Thugs is one of those groups that are not afraid to display that they live this life, even in their downtime.HOME AT THEIR OWN LABEL AND TAKING THINGS DAY-TO-DAY, ANTHONY ‘KRAYZIE BONE’ HENDERSON OPINES FRANKLY WITH RIP NICHOLSON ABOUT THE NEW ALBUM OF, AND CHEMISTRY WITHIN, BONE THUGS-N-HARMONY.īone Thugs-N-Harmony (Krayzie Bone) interviewed for Rip2Shredz // Hiphop.sh // Street Press Australia
This is a notable message as Hip Hop albums usually provide comic relief or break from the monotony of coming across as hardcore thugs through the entire album. “N**** don’t test nuts, yo luck’s f***** you feeling tha wrath of tha boneyard, thuggin’ off with the graveyard shift we comin’ up on yo hoe card, b****”Īn interlude a capella with a stern point, Me Killa.
#BONE THUGS N HARMONY EAST 1999 ALBUM TRACKLIST PLUS#
Plus the lyrics are not for the faint of heart as Flesh boldly says, The feel is gritty, thugged out, and no-nonsense as the instrumental alone can kick your a**.
Everything said throughout the album is reiterated on this one track, they take no shorts no losses and it’s the murda game they’ve mastered with grace. To smoke to or ride to or just chill and listen this is a personal favorite with an addictive melodic hook that will have you humming it to yourself at times when you least expect it.Ĭertainly a hardcore listen reserved for the last track on the album so if you didn’t hear one word up until then, understand that this song is home for Bone. This song is easy to listen to as it features all five members. Definitely a lot of replay value.Īs Layzie Bone states “ For the love of money f*** tha fame, we peep game, we crept and we came“, they set out to do exactly what they did, and have the platinum plaques, Grammys, and Hip Hop respect to back it up. This is a strong track and stands out amongst the others, not only as a good listen but with a sense of an overall bottom-line of the album’s direction. Out on the West Coast where gangstas are known for having ‘heart’, Krayzie Bone made the message pretty clear: these Cleveland thugs have none. “A n**** that always has my city wit me, now who was that n**** they put in that plastic, a n**** that thought he could bang, that n**** slipped that n**** blasted, a man from the land never ran I stand wit deadly men, if ya come a little bit closer I can turn you into sand” We all know the success of “Crossroads” with the heavy radio rotation and grammy’s, but the vision of the album can be shown by highlighting a few notable tracks. The feel of this project can be simply described as dark yet melodic smooth, as most of the tracks have a laid back tone with soft piano riffs and heavenly bell chimes coupled with violent subject matter.Īt the time gangsta rap was on America’s playlist and in everyone’s stereo, then Bone quietly crept up on us to confidently, without boasting or bragging, to show us how it’s done. After the success of their first EP that dropped a year prior, this second effort was far more than surprisingly good but went on to become phenomenally great selling more than 10 million copies worldwide. Bone Thugs-n-Harmony’s E.1999 Eternal is the second album from the group released in the summer of 1995.
