So true, this album changed my perception of what hip hop was, it was earth shattering for a 15 year old kid, the next album that had that kind of impact on me was the fugees album the score.
It's not fantastic it's probably one of the greatest albums ever made to me. It's the greatest. It's the only cd where I can literally just put it on track 1 and listen all the way thru
The thing is I'm not sure how many remember that there was a different version of this song on the album at first, it was remixed and remade after Easy E's passing.
This is a remake of the original Crossroads, an they did it because they wanted to make the song a tribute to Eazy E. Eazy signed them to ruthless records and passed b4 their second album dropped. Almost 30 years later they still show him love on everything they put out.
Thug luv, Notorious Thugs, look into my eyes, it's all real, thuggish ruggish Bone, for the love of money are all great songs as well you should look into.
Bone Thugs is one of the greatest rap groups of all time. Lots of bangers and hits throughout their catalog. Grammy winners. Headliners. Plus they showed they had lyrical ability. And then you throw in the harmonizin they do like no other..... awesome
Suicide boys bit thier flow. I looked it up and read their style was inspired by bone thugs. When i heard some of their songs i was like, i know that flow from somewhere and it was bone thugs. They even have a collab with them.
So many chills, so many tears. The intro scene at the funeral… when Death takes Uncle George playing checkers… seeing Eazy E on his way to Heaven… LEGENDARY!!! And it’s an amazing song too!
One of the best rap ensembles ever! First rap group with a Diamond certification (10,000,000+ albums sold. )Only rap group to do a song with both 2Pac and Biggie. Group is legendary.
****** WOW! Rappers That SING! THIS is Considered a MASTERPIECE. Enough to WIN a GRAMMY for " Best Rap Performance" in 1997! KRAYZIE BONE Has Been Clocked at being One of the TOP 3 FASTEST RAPPERS.
Im 43 feeling old as hell right now. Glad this music is making it to a new gen. Theres so much more good bone thugs out here. Art of war has some amazing tracks as well. They collabed with eazy, big and Pac.
Bone Thugs and Harmony are legends, their reach is worldwide, even down here in Australia I was introduced to them and loved their sound so much I ordered the CD from the US. an era where the artists sang from the heart.
@@themenacingslothI don’t believe that, but I do think it’s by design that the type of meaningful, soul defining media like this song, among others, aren’t promoted to the degree they used to promote them. Certain people don’t want us to value life, value ourselves, value each other, etc. media now reflects what they want us to be. Vapid, stupid, craving the next dopamine hit from social media attention, outside validation, etc.
yes that was Easy E. He signed this group to his label Ruthless Records the label NWA was signed before going their own way. Easy E died shortly after signing this group.
This song is actually "Tha Crossroads", not "Crossroads". "Crosswords" was on the original 1995 release, track 8, I believe. "Tha Crosswords" wasn't released until 1996, if memory serves, and replaced "Crossroads" on subsequent re-releases of E.1999 & Eternal.
Bone Thugs N Harmony is hands down my favorite group and the most inspiring group I've ever listened to and it's real life they sing about and Krayzie Bone is my favorite Rapper his style and sound is truly unique and legendary. Bone Thugs N Harmony has songs out with Biggie, Tupac, and Big Pun along with countless others. I was 10yrs old when this song came out and it is dedicated to all those who we have lost in this world and will one day get to see each other again I love you Momma and until that day I'll see you at the Crossroads.
Yessssss I’m from Cleveland and everyone went wild. This song would come on the radio and me and my friends would get so excited. Whohoooo representing the C~town and Eazy too ❤❤❤❤❤
It's amazing to see young heads listen to and appreciate the music I grew up listening to in my early 20's. Introduced by Eazy E in 1994, Bone Thugs N Harmony hit the hit hop scene with a unique sound of their own.
This was my introduction to hip hop. I have since learned so much more about it, but as a young white teen in Des Moines, Iowa, I didn’t really have much exposure prior to Crossroads. As others mentioned this song was everywhere in 96. I ran out and bought E 1999 Eternal (made my parents mad, but they’ve since come around), and my life was literally forever changed. BTH are truly GOATs of GOATs.
Bone was the transition into the new sound but also the exit of spiritual music. They changed the game but also we witnessed a revolution of spirit and music.
Yo lil bro, when this song came out we were still on pagers... lol.. phones with tone wouldn't be out for about 5 more years.. I was a HS junior when this track hit, about 16. My buddy died in a car accident, about 100 kids shut down that little road the next evening where he died and got tore up!! Drinkin, smokin, blasting this track on repeat, the cool part, instead of breaking it up thw cops coned off the street and let up mourn.. we didnt stop till the sun was up. One of the cops (Otis) that also did our school security actually brought us a handle of whisky and said some words and gave a pour for Jason before passing the bottle. Real Respect!
Im currently 19, but listen to a lot of older hip hop and always have. I remember seeing this music video many years ago, & almost crying to this shi bro. It’s crazy the emotions music can evoke, regardless of age
Bone Thugs are the bar, for other hip hop or Rap groups tbh. I can rap almost anything in Karaoke...except Bone Thugs. The speed of the cadence, the harmonies etc. Probably the most talented rap group ever. IMO.
They're so underated...1 of the best groups of all time,the best...€azy € knew the game and sign BtNh...R.i.P €azy €(his the main "soul/ghost" in this video at the and much respect to you youngster who recognized him)
I grew up listening to these men. They are my all-time favorite rap group. I still listen to them all the time! Yes that was Easy E. He gave them a platform to perform and they blew people out of the water. They changed the rap game. Listen to a few songs on all the early records. They're so good. ❤
We did take life more serious back in the day.. that's why it's sad to see the way life is now! 90's were the LAST great decade! Life has gone down hill ever since!
I can’t unhear “Eeeegg salad, a happy hippopotamus who misses uncle Charlie, got a poof but gods got it and I’m gonna miss everybody” and then “I look at a rotten eyyyegg”
Times where different back then and music actually meant something be it rock, hip hop, r&b, metal. They all had something to say and a way to say it in their own way
Dude you gotta be like 5 years old to not have ever heard of Bone Thugs. People around the world know this song and this group. Legends. I'm am blown TF ova right now. Don't take it personal though. I just subscribed. Wanna see your journey. BTW Easy E brought these boyz on the scene. Good stuff homie
Yo I remember living up in Juneau Alaska chokin blunts sippin 40s and Rollin down Eagan highway passing a 4 foot pipe between cars listening to bone thugs ,biggie ,pac ,eazy e ,mo thug family the time they came out with these beats. Thanks for bringing back those good memories bro
I 1st heard this song when i was 11 years old in 95, at a friend's house on tv walking past it stopping in my tracks and watched till the end to find out who they was and have been hooked ever since.
I hadn't heard this song in a long time, until the first part of this year. Had to pull it out for relection before going through kidney cancer surgery. Went back and had another listen when I came out the other side. Still here.
I was in high school when this came out and the thing I remember is that almost *everyone* loved hip hop back then! It was so relatable and humble and respectable. Unfortunately I can’t relate as much to newer hip hop artists. Of course it could just be because I’m old now, 😅 but like you’re saying I think it was so deep and meaningful back then.
I’m 38 and I have seen Bone Thugs in concert a few times. I love them. Another great song they made was for the Set It Off soundtrack “Dayz of Our Lives” Check that out.
Great commentary bro! Things were different back in the day I promise you. Everything was more from the heart whether you’re talking about music or sports. You can hear it in the music and see it in the sports. It’s all about the money now. And the Internet has really changed everything, back in the day you had to wait until the CD came out and go to work and make some money and then go buy it just to hear a song you liked and if your buddy got the CD first you passed it around all your friends and it ended up getting scratched to hell and back. Everybody was just more connected personally and like you said just more connected to the world and what’s going on everything wasn’t digital and on the screen it was real life. I wish you could experience it but I guess we can’t go backwards. Maybe we can learn and listen about the past to help us make a better future anyway. Like you said you were listening and picking up on some of the real SHXT they were talking about. Makes it all worth it after I was listening to this stuff when I was a teenager now I’m watching you younger than my kid listening to it and understanding why I liked it. Some old white guy. Connection with the past definitely helps ground you. Appreciate you doing these videos. Someday they’ll realize we’re all the same!
I didn’t even know English and I still used to listen to this song. Not too many people know about The Box Music Television You Control, they played hardcore rap on that channel.
Bone is definitely one of the best and realest to EVER DO IT! ❤❤ will always love Bone and be a fan. So good to see this generation appreciate and look back. Also nice to hear his perspective

This song was everywhere in 96. You couldn't go a day without hearing it somewhere.
"Thuggish Ruggish Bone" and "1st of the Month", also.
Still its played🙏🏻
FACTS
100%
That year was so pivotal
Bone is one of the dopest rap groups ever. They completely changed the game.
TRUE GOATS !!!
They were just Tooooooooh GOOD 🎶🎵🍯🔥🔥🔥🙏✌️
@@pazh8701not even close 😂
So true, this album changed my perception of what hip hop was, it was earth shattering for a 15 year old kid, the next album that had that kind of impact on me was the fugees album the score.
E1999 was a really big album during my high school years. Just behind Pac and Biggie.
This whole album is fantastic. Old school hip hop just hits different.
It's not fantastic it's probably one of the greatest albums ever made to me. It's the greatest. It's the only cd where I can literally just put it on track 1 and listen all the way thru
One of the best albums ever. Incredibly produced. Shout out to DJ U-Neek... He did the whole album
Ive heard a few of their songs from my mom when i was younger but im only now going through all theyre music and its heavenly
The thing is I'm not sure how many remember that there was a different version of this song on the album at first, it was remixed and remade after Easy E's passing.
Video still gives me chills after 28 years.
This is a remake of the original Crossroads, an they did it because they wanted to make the song a tribute to Eazy E. Eazy signed them to ruthless records and passed b4 their second album dropped. Almost 30 years later they still show him love on everything they put out.
Love the original. Anyone who had the first pressing of this album knows the original.Unfortunately most only know the remake.
You know know your bone history
And for lazyie’s baby
@@shindigga420 I had the 1st press of the cd the original version is the best version
Bone thugs are the GOATs!!! You won't regret going down Bone's discography! Do their song Thuggish Ruggish Bone, Start there! 💯🔥🔥🔥
Love it!! That's my generation!❤❤❤❤❤
They broke the mold with harmony rap lyrics! No group flowed like Bone!
This!!!!
A rap group with a smooth sound and harmonizing was unheard of back then. There's a reason this video was played 2 to 3 times every hour on MTV.
You should do "First of the Month" next from Bone Thugs
This or thuggish ruggish bone that jawn is a bangerrr 😂🔥
Or "more murder" or "notorious thugs"
Thug luv, Notorious Thugs, look into my eyes, it's all real, thuggish ruggish Bone, for the love of money are all great songs as well you should look into.
Appreciate the outlook you have on us “oldies” it’s good to see the younger generation understand how our lives inspired the music of our times.
When you said this may be Rock n Roll....a lil part of my lime wire soul died 😂😂😂 #iykyk
😂
Back in the day, you could burst out any line in this song and people would start singing along. This track was everywhere. Bone was goats for real.
And you know you lying cause ain't no one black or white know the damn words to this 😅😅😅
This song brings me to my knees every time. everyone I have lost comes rushing back. Powerful words.
The reaction on this kids face is awesome when hears them start....love it
You had to be there in the 90s for this one, a true vibe of a song! Was all over the radio!
That was the best reaction to the crossroads I've ever seen 😂
Bone Thugs is one of the greatest rap groups of all time.
Lots of bangers and hits throughout their catalog. Grammy winners.
Headliners.
Plus they showed they had lyrical ability. And then you throw in the harmonizin they do like no other..... awesome
I get chills every time I hear this.
Me too
@@reginahamilton982 This song hits differently now due to the loss of my dad.
How many rappers today have this type of lyrical talent?
0
Absolutely none of them. Not even close. ❤
Plenty, but they never get the fame that they deserve.
Suicide boys bit thier flow. I looked it up and read their style was inspired by bone thugs. When i heard some of their songs i was like, i know that flow from somewhere and it was bone thugs. They even have a collab with them.
Suicide Boys 💯
So many chills, so many tears.
The intro scene at the funeral… when Death takes Uncle George playing checkers… seeing Eazy E on his way to Heaven… LEGENDARY!!!
And it’s an amazing song too!
That's Uncle Charles, yall!!
R.I.P.
Eric "Easy E" Wright🪽
One of the best rap ensembles ever! First rap group with a Diamond certification (10,000,000+ albums sold. )Only rap group to do a song with both 2Pac and Biggie. Group is legendary.

an era where the artists sang from the heart.
The lyrics back in the day told the real stories. Very powerful indeed. Loved the group...this video used to give me the chills.
This video scared the shit out of me tbh😂
I was in middle school when this song came out and i remember the whole cafeteria sing the hook. It drove the administration crazy.
You're right. Past generations were more connected to life and valued life. It's very disheartening to see where things have gone.
People just don’t care no mo’. It’s a damn shame

Ah man this song was played all the time back in the day. This one is my favorite song by them
One of my favorite Bone songs, that I wish I heard more reactions to, is 'Down '71 (the Getaway)
This song is actually "Tha Crossroads", not "Crossroads". "Crosswords" was on the original 1995 release, track 8, I believe. "Tha Crosswords" wasn't released until 1996, if memory serves, and replaced "Crossroads" on subsequent re-releases of E.1999 & Eternal.
I had to buy the album twice to get the version from the music video when it was re-released
What's the difference aside from title?
its actually called Tha Crossroads ( Mo Thugs Remix)
@@indiatastic the song is very different from the Mo Thugs Remix
He represented the "hood" the hood takes, and the hood gives"!!!!!!! Reminded me of the 80's in northeast Portland OR. Rough!!!
As someone currently signed with Bone, just stopped by to say thanks for checkin' out the legends. Much luv, G. We appreciate ya!
This song always hits me. Whew. Definitely a classic

This song ois about reality of life, death
Bone thugs -n- harmony “I tried” my favorite song
This song was everywhere 96 -2001
The visual art involved with Videos that were broadcast on MTV back in the Day was and is TRUE ART
Love Bone
Man I was 4 years old when this came out. Never has a song touched me like this
Boy, this track brings back some memories from around high school/college. We listened to this allll the time.
Yessssss I’m from Cleveland and everyone went wild. This song would come on the radio and me and my friends would get so excited. Whohoooo representing the C~town and Eazy too ❤❤❤❤❤
Excellent commentary on our times. We needed music like this to deal with life. Respect! 💯
I am 58 years old now but when i was young i loved that group.
Thought provoking and deep message. Again, fire!!
Need more bone thugs!!!! 1st of the month , foe tha love of money , there are so many good songs they have

Wow man Thanks for sharing. You don’t see or hear about anything like that anymore.
Wow Bone thugs and harmony ❤ are the best 💞
I haven't seen that video in forever and damn it hits so much harder now that I'm older.

Im currently 19, but listen to a lot of older hip hop and always have. I remember seeing this music video many years ago, & almost crying to this shi bro. It’s crazy the emotions music can evoke, regardless of age
This video is still so powerful to this day. BTNH = legends.

Had faith in ya. You noticed.
They still be doing live shows on occasion and Bizzy just dropped yet another solo a few weeks ago. My fav group since the 90’s
Damn... you just proved how old I am
An Unforgettable Song.
My dear, that man was the Angel of Death.
I loved this song back in the day. It was everywhere even my mom loved it. 😂
This was the only song to displace the song first of the month which was champion for weeks in battle of the raps on radio station
That video got your attention I was waiting to see your expression when he picks the baby up .
The triplet flows🙌 this song is forever on my playlists
I hadn't heard this song in a long time, until the first part of this year. Had to pull it out for relection before going through kidney cancer surgery. Went back and had another listen when I came out the other side. Still here.
Thats blade 😂😂😂😂
This is the song that got me into rap music. I was in elementary school when this came out and I've been a fan ever since.
I am enjoying your ride, through my time, and music. Thank you for sharing!
I was in high school when this came out and the thing I remember is that almost *everyone* loved hip hop back then! It was so relatable and humble and respectable. Unfortunately I can’t relate as much to newer hip hop artists. Of course it could just be because I’m old now, 😅 but like you’re saying I think it was so deep and meaningful back then.
I had a friend introduce me to Bone, and we spent all that weekend listening to them and watching Friday on repeat 😂😊
Bone Thugs was the shit back then
I grew up on the 90s
Best music ever. This was on MTV all the time and like snows informer. They put the lyrics on screen.
This sweet summer child is in for a really, really fun ride 🔥
I’m 38 and I have seen Bone Thugs in concert a few times. I love them. Another great song they made was for the Set It Off soundtrack “Dayz of Our Lives” Check that out.
Damn - ain’t heard this joint in a minute. Brought tears to my eyes.

Respect to this young man. Great reaction to this 'ol skool' rap. I was in jr high when this song was everywhere!
Bone is definitely one of the best and realest to EVER DO IT! ❤❤ will always love Bone and be a fan. So good to see this generation appreciate and look back. Also nice to hear his perspective
Saw this concert with my 14 year old son at the time.. back in the nineties
RIP JOHN Bennet, the angel of death. He was good peoples.
