For a young kid like you that wasn’t even close to be born around this time you do a good job of doing your research and breaking down to you dad certain key points. I’m 36 years old this song was a huge part of my childhood! Bone in general.
@@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.
I cry every time I hear this song. Almost every black person got at least one person this song is dedicated to. Played after a funeral at least once. At least the ones I’ve been to. 🙌🏾✨❤️🔥
I looove this song. Fact, this video to this song as a small kid intoduced me the concept of death in way that I could understand at the time that has always stuck with me throughout my life.
This! I was looking for a comment like this. It made it understandable as a small black child in the 90s… way more than anything I could grasp from like my grandparents or going to church.
Yes! I was like 5-6 when this came out. I wasn't scared of the man in the black jacket who touched the third eye to collect souls. I was intrigued by him. It was a comfortable answer to "what does it mean to 'die' ". My little brain could handle it lol
Should let daddy watch the video to Crossroads too, the video was ahead of its time for the period. The reaper making peoples eyes black still hits a nerve.
Kai man i love how emotional your father gets with music, the bond you two have is amazing bro. Cherish that man kai some of us grew up without one and he seems like the perfect father a kid could ask for, love you two, keep doing this you guys are great
This track is so unique. Somewhat of a stream of consciousness from multiple people, different stages of grief being thrown around in each sentences. The chorus gives off an air of acceptance. Visceral get it off your chest music.
Bone thugs are family friends of us. We grew up in a rough state, and then doing what they did meant a lot to us folks. Will love Bone 4eva. Never forget WISH, he was underrated. But bizzy and crazy really carried a lot. Maybe you can show him the music videos as well. That Midwest HIP HOP/RAP!
I used to not be able to listen to this song without crying after my boyfriend passed in "96, and it was played at his funeral along with Tupac's Life Goes On. Both great songs and packed with lots of meaning! Y'all are great. Detroit, MI here. Blessed Be & One Love!
I used to be scared as hell of the music video as a child but once I grew up and lost my uncle who was my bestfriend… I gained a new appreciation for this song. Video and all
Omg. Same for me but with my dad. That music video terrified me - the ghosts walking up the mountain. But when my dad passed - he also loved that song - it changed everything. The song reminds me of him.
I am biased, as I grew up in the 90's, but this decade was the best for music! I love seeing people discover it because it reminds me not to take these bars and these vocals for granted.
It’s always nice when another generation can appreciate good music. A lot of people, myself included, tend to get stuck in a certain era as far as their personal taste go but classic music is timeless and has the ability to transcend boundaries.
This song was playing on the radio when I returned from summer camp as a kid and my mom told me my cousin died, so I am always taken to that moment when I hear this song. You should play Thug Luv, Notorious Thugs and Breakdown so that he can hear how other artists switched up their styles to accommodate them. Also, Days of Our Livez for a song of a similar tone.
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!
I am a huge fan of Bone Thugs n Harmony. I have always liked the way they could incorporate harmonies in with their rapping skills. It brings an unique sound to hip hop. Now you need to have your dad react to Notorious Thugs with Biggie.
Bone thugs are great. 1st of the month, Thuggish Ruggish, etc they are an amazing group with some rather amazing songs. I'm glad that you guy have listened to them and are "adding" it to your mental libraries. Thanks as always.
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.
IIRC Flesh missed the photo shoot for the EP so that's his face superimposed on the left side. Not sure why he's not on the cover of E. 1999 Eternal since he's all over the record.
Dad is a Bone fan I can tell Show him: Foe Tha Love of Money + Thug Luv + Notorious Thugs These three songs alone cement their legacy and highlight how important BTNH was - and still is - to the evolution of rap music
I played this song, dear mama, and changes, on repeat for my mother who past away in 1994, and my father who I didn’t know but passed away in 1992. These songs got me through a lot of pain as a young kid, I was 9 when my father passed, 11 when my mom died, was playing these songs as a young teenager, with such grief. I’m 39, and still go to these songs as I did back then.
Growing up in Africa in the 90s I was really influenced by Bone. To this day their music is still a staple on my playlist. A great way to let the hours pass on long drives. Thanks for responding to our requests. You're doing a great job.
Biggie had to switch his flow up after hearing BTNH drop their verses which spoke volumes to how different Bones' sound was. I think I watched an interview where Bizzy said they didnt get to hear Biggie's verse until after his passing. I would love to see this reaction. I love that song.
So glad you reacted to bone thugs. Thuggish Ruggish Bone is a gem too. Love seeing your dad’s growth, too cute. He’s describing songs with the right terminology in terms of flow and is able to relax and listen to the lyrics now. Cool cool
Glad to be born and raised with music like this being born in the ghetto this type of music was a part of my child hood that me and my parents listen today
This was 👌 awesome!!!! Bone thugs are goated and KrayIe Bone is low key the best artist that can be put in the category of hiphop/rap yet he transcends those labels and should be recognized as a pure artist.
Krayzie Bone is already established as a pure artist,check out his latest album Krayzie Melodies.Bizzy Bone also released War Of Roses not so long ago and Flesh N Bone released To The Bone.Layzie Bone Eyez On The Prize with The Chemist is raw too check them all out Bone 4 Life yo.
@@Poeticfloetic deep voice, melodic flow. There was a period where the group as a whole was on a decline and everyone and their mama still had Krayzie doing guest verses because of how cool he sounds. His last huge guest verse was probably on Ridin Dirty
The concept of “crossroads” is a major theme in black American music. It goes all the way back to the blues era & it comes from Black American hoodoo. A lot of the great black guitarist & other musicians are said to have sold their soul to papa legba at the crossroads to gain their talent. While that isn’t the theme for this song I thought it should be mentioned how African Spirituality travels through Black American culture even though due to slavery we have been so far removed from African culture.
Yes, “Crossroads” was performed by The Cream (Eric Clapton) and that was the first I knew of the song. but found out much later that it was originally written by Robert Johnson, and covered by a ton of musicians. I probably should have referenced that during the reaction. If I knew the deeper meaning once I had forgotten, so thanks for that! - Kai’s dad
Dad calling bone thugs beautiful warms my heart!!! And all the subtle shit he picked up on after listening once was stellar, good job dad! Thanks guys, another banger reviewed, as always keep it up. Salute
i just discovered your channel a few days ago... what an amazing relationship you have with your dad man! i already finished all your videos.. like its amazing to share feelings and opinion about music with someone who really feels it! im so impressed from both of you! keep going!
You guys should get to the Bone tracks that they did with Pac and Biggie. The only group to do songs with both! It goes to show what kind of respect they had and still have.
Notorious Thugs is such a good track. Bizzy Bone did this entire verse in a single take (first take too) and it was so good after Biggy heard it he went and rewrote his entire verse because of how good it was.
Layzie is my fav. The second rapper that was singing. Bone Thugs N Harmony is one of the groups I grew up on. LEGENDS IN HIP HOP! DISCOVERED BY THE ONE AND ONLY EAZY-E (HE DIED ON MY 5TH BIRTHDAY, ILL NEVER FORGET THAT) 🙏🏿🙏🏿🕊️🕊️💙💙
New fan to the channel 💪🏾 This how you destroy racism and not just listening but understanding the music is very dope!!! Good job kid and shout out to Dad!!!
@@palehorserider1407 Yeah First of the Month was the first single off this album. But Tha Crossroads wasn't on it initially. My copy of the tape didn't have it.
I dedicated this song to my late Uncle Chris. In the song he says he miss his Uncle Charles and Charlie was one of my Uncle’s nickname cuz Charles was his middle name. It used to be hard for me to hear it but now I made peace and I just remember the good times.
Also film, 1. You gotta start showing your father some of the videos. Visuals are highly important in hip hop. A lot of music you introduced your father too the impact & success was actually due to the video. For ex. this song! I was only 6 when this song came out but I vividly remember this video & how it scared ALL us kids at the time lol. 2. Your father will probably never understand the metaphorical prose in hip hop unless he’s introduced to classic black films & tv shows. Almost every hip hop song especially the 90s references a throwback classic film or colloquially called “hood classics”. Ok that’s it :) keep up the content.
They were always a five member group but one of them (Flesh) got in some trouble and went to prison. That same member (Flesh) was also the first to get a solo deal. He signed with Def Jam.
Bone are my fav artists of all time! Krayzie being my fav.. 🐐 period. They made me fall in love with music esp Tha Crossroads! I was 9 years old I'm now 35 and bigger fan then ever.
I love how we all started tapping our feet and bobbing our heads at the same time a real vibe he guys are amazing beautiful song...one of my favorite songs....

2:30 Eazy did not "help them get their first deal", he literally signed them to his own label. That's how much he believed in them

like its amazing to share feelings and opinion about music with someone who really feels it! im so impressed from both of you! keep going!
Thank you so much!
You guys should get to the Bone tracks that they did with Pac and Biggie. The only group to do songs with both! It goes to show what kind of respect they had and still have.
Big Facts 💯🎯
add Eazy-E to that as well....bone only to do it with all 3
Pac. Biggie. Big Pun And Easy E
Notorious Thugs is such a good track. Bizzy Bone did this entire verse in a single take (first take too) and it was so good after Biggy heard it he went and rewrote his entire verse because of how good it was.
@@jubei20111 that's actually fack. Lots of people don't know these things
Layzie is my fav. The second rapper that was singing. Bone Thugs N Harmony is one of the groups I grew up on. LEGENDS IN HIP HOP! DISCOVERED BY THE ONE AND ONLY EAZY-E (HE DIED ON MY 5TH BIRTHDAY, ILL NEVER FORGET THAT) 🙏🏿🙏🏿🕊️🕊️💙💙
Dad imitating the fast rapping is top tier😂 I’m loving the page.
New fan to the channel 💪🏾 This how you destroy racism and not just listening but understanding the music is very dope!!! Good job kid and shout out to Dad!!!
First album I ever bought when I was ten years old babe . Excellent album
Was first of the month on that album ? That’s the first single I ever bought
@@palehorserider1407 yes sir wake up wake up it’s the first of the month so get up get up lol
@@palehorserider1407 Yeah First of the Month was the first single off this album. But Tha Crossroads wasn't on it initially. My copy of the tape didn't have it.
@@palehorserider1407 iconic song
We need a video reaction
Nooo not just this song!! All bone thugs. This is just the one we thought y’all would like the most lmfao. All their shit is 🔥🔥🔥
One of my favorite songs of all time
Bone is my favorite rap group. In middle school, me and my friends would braid our hair to back to look like them.
Pops have me laughing so hard when he does little bits and pieces of the song 😂🤣😂 Sooo Kool...
They really do have such a unique sound 😌🔥 I have that East 99 Eternal CD in my car right now! 🙌😂
I dedicated this song to my late Uncle Chris. In the song he says he miss his Uncle Charles and Charlie was one of my Uncle’s nickname cuz Charles was his middle name. It used to be hard for me to hear it but now I made peace and I just remember the good times.
I’m from Cleveland. I grew up on Bone. One of the greatest rap groups of my time. This song is one other amazing hits
I've been a fan of Bone Thugs N Harmony ever since I was a kid, this song and the video tugs at my heartstrings every time
Also film, 1. You gotta start showing your father some of the videos. Visuals are highly important in hip hop. A lot of music you introduced your father too the impact & success was actually due to the video. For ex. this song! I was only 6 when this song came out but I vividly remember this video & how it scared ALL us kids at the time lol.
2. Your father will probably never understand the metaphorical prose in hip hop unless he’s introduced to classic black films & tv shows. Almost every hip hop song especially the 90s references a throwback classic film or colloquially called “hood classics”.
Ok that’s it :) keep up the content.
Pops smiled when bizzy says "and I'm gonna miss everybody" that's dope
I remember all of us blaring this at a funeral. She was a cool grandma with gangsta family members.
They were always a five member group but one of them (Flesh) got in some trouble and went to prison. That same member (Flesh) was also the first to get a solo deal. He signed with Def Jam.
Can we also get Thuggish Ruggish Bone please
Dad is the chillest man I've ever seen. Keep it up guys!
Biggest Hip Hop group ever for reasons like this. Touched billions of people globally.
Def my childhood. This song was def on repeat. Well done fellas!
Pops with the fresh cut!!
😂 💇🏻♂️
Bone are the originators 💯 best Rap Group of all time fr 🔥🔥🔥
Bone are my fav artists of all time! Krayzie being my fav.. 🐐 period. They made me fall in love with music esp Tha Crossroads! I was 9 years old I'm now 35 and bigger fan then ever.
It’s such a beautifully tragic song that gets me emotional & moves me to tears every time I listen to it
Definitely a standout track in the history of Hip Hop. But this is one of those that should have been a reaction to the video
That line where he says “then miss sleazy set up eazy to fall” is so deep
13:44 Spot on! This is what happens with BONE songs usually
I love how we all started tapping our feet and bobbing our heads at the same time a real vibe he guys are amazing beautiful song...one of my favorite songs....
MORE BONE THUGS! Days of our Lives, 1st of the month, Buddah lovas lol. SHOW THEM THAT SMOOTH ASSASSIN SHIT cause thats what Bone thugs were.
I wished Pops would have seen the video. The video did a great job giving visuals to the song.
Hope to see more Bone Thugs on this channel!
