      @@trillspilltx6628 Or Busta and Tech if we talking about people rapping fast from the 90s. But Bones flows and harmonies were one of a kind. Even people who weren’t a fan have to admit they are one of a kind. They paved the way for all this singing in rap nowadays. The first rapper to blow big copying they harmonic style was Nelly. Nelly be the first to admit it to. He tried to get signed to Mo thugs records but Layzie wasn’t interested apparently. Too bad because while not a fan of much he did after but Country Grammer was a masterpiece .Nelly got a classic album and most rappers can’t say that.

And 26 years later, his son, which is my nephew. Passed away he was killed. In 2020 so that was hard and of course crossroads was a song that was played at his dad‘s funeral, but I thought of him as well and the song crossroads constantly is in my head when I think about all my loved ones because I’ve lost several people since then I lost my mother in 2021.

    It's important to note that rap/hip hop before the proliferation of the internet and social media had very distinct regional sounds. Bone Thugs had a unique rapping style/sound and put the Midwest on the map in a time dominated by East Coast and West Coast rapping styles.
    You should listen to Notorious Thugs by Biggie ft /Bone Thugs and Breakdown by Mariah Carey ft Bone Thugs. Both Biggie and Mariah emulate/mimic the fast rapping style of Bone Thugs which was novel at the time.

    It looks like I came here a year too late, but I do agree with Kai about the music around the time Bone Thugs-n-Harmony came out. I actively looked for artists that sounded different from the gangsta rap that was all over by that point and not only found this group, but Wu-Tang Clan, Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliot, Redman and others. This branching out introduced me to the music I still cherish and come back to today. I'd also like add that I felt Bone Thugs not only musically bridged the gap between East and West Coast rap, they literally did this by being mentored by Easy-E and later collaborating with Biggie, which blew my mind when it happened. Thanks for your reaction!

    There were five members and always five members. Flesh Bone who is Layzie’s Brother did some hard time after they dropped but they always tried to collab with him and supported him thru his entire stay. Flesh got out a long time ago now tho and they are back to 5 officially. I met Flesh the first year he got out and had a nice conversation with him too. He gave me a homie shoulder punch for knowing his stuff and it resonated with a lot.

    I love how open your dad is to any type of music. I’m sure others have said this but for someone so young that hasn’t grown up with a lot of these artists & songs you do a damn good job explaining them to your dad. With Bone, they’ve said how Eazy-E saved their lives when he scooped them off the streets of Cleveland (Ohio) if it wasn’t for Eazy-E believing in them they’d be dead or in jail. For me growing up with these rap groups was amazing. I wish you had shown your dad the music video to tha crossroads because it makes me cry every time I see it! Knowing that Eazy-E’s death was so suspect and seeing him in the video just hits an emotional spot.
