So so SOooo glad that GOD protected me from this evil and wicked music industry. All my attempts to get signed by a major label were blocked unbeknownst to me at the time, it was for VERY GOOD REASON. God knew EXACTLY what he was doin'!

@@marvingonzalez6891 I was in fact around in the 90's & was of an age where I'm very familiar with their they were one of the most popular hip hop groups at that time. My comment was speaking to current times which is why I used the word "deserve" rather than the past tense deserv[ed]. If you remember the "Box" they had the most requested song for a few years. I believe it was 94-95 but don't quote me on the years because I'm not positive. I'm sure you can agree hip hop has become significantly more main stream just within the last 10-20 years.

Layzie Bone looks great , he still looks the exact same, he hasnt aged a bit. So talented !!! I loved these guys not only because of their good beats but because their whole storey as young boys reaching to the top all they went through, never gave up, taking the bus ,missing meals, going clear across the country on a dream they had , and this was before social media, so they had to do actual foot work , they are something special for real, and deserve the recognition, it really bothers me that migos cant give them the respect, cause really they paved the way for them to be where they are, i mean come on , how can they not see that??
I remember crossroads on the box in 1999 when I lived in Oregon. It was promoted as part of a Halloween throwback play and I felt someone somewhere really missed the point of that song.
When he said the record industry was designed to keep control over the artist, just look at dr dre before suge got him out of his contract with ruthless records, they knew his talents that why they didnt let him go easily
@@anthonyarcanumsanctumregnu9551 and that’s his payback the wmn he too care of and held high tuned on him an came first his money and had him paying for her mothers home and all.. but won’t help his kids grown or not!.. she’s in the streets with her baby...he’s not gonna have real blessings in the end..God sits high & looks low!😌😙
I'm 26, I was blessed to have uncles put me on to all the dope music from the 90s and what not. I was singing thuggish ruggish bone since I was in the cradle
I love how they label the videos these days. There's no dirty little secrets in the industry. I worked for Luke Recordes back in the 90s. The problem was that these guys weren't smart enough to hire a lawyer to look over their paperwork. Black artist for many decades would see the money and sign everything away because they didn't take the time to hire someone to look over the deal. Advancement means just that, its a loan that you have to pay back. Ray Charles was one of the first black artist to own his masters. He couldn't see, but he wasn't so blind that he didn't have a lawyer.
I can't believe it mehn. Lazy coming out so down to earth like this. Imagine riding on the bus and hearing ur songs in a Mad car. They had to fight for they money and all that. These dudes r legends mehn. We respect y'all.
I remember learning "thuggish ruggish bone" and having a favorite Bone (Krayzie) in one day because it was on like every 5 videos the whole day on the Box
Layzie Bone is spitting true facts. Let's check some boxes as we move along. ✅📦 The music business is set up to go against your interest as a human being. This is why lawyers and contracts are involved for those who, "get out of line." They immediately get put back in their places with certain contractual stipulations 📝. ✅📦 The advances are exactly what they are, advances. Similar to that of student loans, personal loans, business loans, etc. What is loaned to you shall be paid back with sweat equity. ✅📦 The "selling ones soul to the devil" aspect of music is you selling yourself (literally) to the big wigs so-to-speak to be put on. When you sell yourself and sign that contract, your soul is literally theirs. Music comes from the soul, and the devils (Hollywood) want it. ✅📦 When they give you an advance, you have to pay it back through your royalties. This is why many artist love doing shows because they get paid upfront on the backend. However, they still have to report the songs performed to the label which tracks all of that data anyway. Then after you die, and you still haven't fulfilled your contractual obligations to your label? Better believe they will still make money from you. ✅📦 Publishing: it is the way they make money from you beyond the grave (take DMX for instance). All of whom had their hands in DMX's projects (all of the Ruff Ryders, Swizz Beats, producers,) etc., all get royalty checks which multiplid after X's death (and they will keep getting it until the end of time - including Diddy with Biggie's music). ✅📦 Own your own masters before the masters own you: because if you do not own your masters, you will one day hear your song in full, or remixed on some one else's instrumental or EDM track on a TV commercial or sports game (football, basketball, hockey, whatever). And guess what? You won't get paid for that, because the record company that sold your music license for those commercials are getting the money. Which, in effect, goes toward the advance that they gave you anyway, so either way you won't see a dime. I'm done, own your own shxt, stay frosty.
Bone Thugs drummer invited me to a show. I went with some friends at the time. The drummer turned out to be a complete douche tho 😂 I told Bone Thugs that lol They turned it around tho ❤️ They were true Gentlemen and G’s. They were nice, super Cleveland 😊, let us get on stage, offered us catered food back stage, and even made sure we were good getting out of the venue. They’re truly cut from a different cloth and deserve their flowers as people and artists 💐
@@joshnewman6667 What’s your point? 3 shows are not all the shows they’ve done 😂 they’ve been in the game over 25+ years and have done all kinds of shows. The one I was at happened to have a drummer 🤷🏾♀️. Your experience has nothing to do with me.
I love Lay from the heart ever since the beginning and I know I’ve always had good reason to! this man is such a wise, kind , loving, humble , honest person ♥️ I would honestly give anything to sit and talk to him for a whole evening I would love listening to him talk! 2 years ago my husband and I saw Bone Thugs in concert in Des Monies Iowa and our tickets included a Meet and Great and he was the first one I talked to , he was so appreciative of my love for his music it was like he was so humble that he barley acted famous , he gave me an awesome hug and kissed my cheek it was incredible ♥️
@Rebellion go put into TH-cam > “ASAP ROCKY ON HOW FRANK OCEAN HUSTLED THE RECORD LABEL”. The video is asap talking about how Frank finessed the music industry there’s multiple stories about it on google if you search up
I can't understand why any artists in the generations after times like Motown don't learn from music contract scams from those times. Every decade or Era, these performers talking about how they got ripped off. But I guess they are being so desperate for some cash that they sign on any dotted line. Sad...
Yes. it's sad but it's totally understandable. You or I would do the EXACT same thing we were poor and desperate, and needed money or food, and a famous producer signed us to a major record label deal.
Kray is doing damn good too. With Music, and he's got his TL label and Merch, the Leaves of Legends Cannabis by him, he just released his own THC Syrup, as well. Kray and Bizzy def doing the best right now. Really, they been doing something almost none stop since New Wavez
Jesus is the way the truth and the life. Nobody gets to the father but by him find him find freedom. Without him there is no hope, joy, peace from within not as the world gives.
Bone Thugs is my favorite rap group,❤❤❤ I still bump this in my car and in my house still have their old Cd's I just found in a box... Luv these dudes, I wish all of you the best LIFE yall paid y'all dues it's all mo thugs👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 and all mo LOVE ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Speaking true facts very good advice what his saying especially to the people that want to come into the industry and know how to do it on their selves
Only people with the big satellite dish that use too move, could watch the box, Bone, Sir mix alot, R Kelly, and Hooter and Blow Fish, Remember those days!
People seem to think that things have changed and they really haven't....the new record labels of the day?....TH-cam, Twitch, TikTok, Spotify lol. You become a commodity through those platforms and promoted accordingly. You still only make pennies compared to what they make from advertising through you. Only difference is that now an algorithm decides whos the most popular and plugs that person. Its not a talent industry...its a popularity contest. 😕
Dope interview Layzie gave you guys some real game from what the industry was all about most artist had to fake like they had the money but could barely pay rent. Was a cold game
Ahh the box my granny told my mama so FAST I ordered my favorite which was “My World” Another Bad Creation & “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See” Busta I love that video to this day cuz the “Coming to America” tease was REAL. Lmfao. Good times lol. But “Crossroads” was my twin cousins absolute favorite they LOVE BONE like for real BONE was they shit! Hell they still like them. We’d see the Busta video and Crossroads back to back all the time and LOVED it. Good to see Lay.
I ran them streets of Watson Ave back in the 80's and 90's.. Where there was codes that gangsters and hustlers' lived by.. And that was RESPECT and Loyalty!! Which at onetime people respected the life and the codes of the streets!!! The streets are disfigured by the youth that think they know everything and don't even know how to aim!!! So this is why I retired put my gloves up after doing a nice stretch!!! You learn that if you don't listen to as they say these old heads then the streets will certainly raise you teach you the hard way about hustling then send you back to your family in a body bag!!!! I am good peace to all the real ones!
🥲😪😭Yall was the BEST, EVER ! I PAYED ATTENTION TO EVERY ONE OF YOU GUYS, WITH THE LONG HAIR, EVERYBODY WANTED TO RAP FAST, AND HAVE LONG HAIR CAUSE OF YALL BRO, YOU ALL ARE LEGENDS
@@ninastarrr2 not by blood, but by honor. The things they've lived thru, they pretty much are family Edit: Flesh and Layzie are brothers, Wish is their cousin. Krayzie and Bizzy met them at elementary or middle school
I just the group in Simpsonville SC.. I swear a great time and they still got it even my daughter was like wow they still look the same and sound GOOD!! keep pushing love
Looking back at that East/West beef, it's funny how artists like Snoop said they were all stupid and immature back then. We all say that when we become older and wiser looking back at stupid things we've done.
We got it better to reach a certain level without the industry but got it worse to make it big with skills and stay real like they did They still pimp artists with 360 deals and control them if they're too real and smart. A lot of them are fake dummies making trash muzik now There's no way they got a record deal based on potential. It's all about clout and faking numbers ain't real Hip Hop it's a joke...
Nothing should shock anyone about the industry especially when we really don't know what goes on behind the scenes. But Ive been told about the dark side in the industry by people I know who've been in the industry for a while and it's not pretty. It looks pretty on the outside but the little that I know I wouldn't want to be in it or my family. People don't realize how much many of these celebrities and executives and others sell out for fame and money
Damn Bro.. imagine how much money those record companies were raping rappers for back in the day! And acting like they were doing someone a favor. CRAZY! And then they call people thieves… just wow
Most influential? Nah, that title goes to the forever reigning champions UGK. Bone did alot and inspired alot but most Influential of all time is UGK. No one can touch Pimp and Bun. And.nobody ever will.. Single artist? Definitely Screw and now Zro. A str8 millionaire and still underground like a mf. UGK 4LIFE. SUC 4LIFE
@@jessietaylor790 Houston Legendz...all respect to them. Z-Ro one of my favourites of all time. But I have to give it to BTNH. There the originators of melodic street rap...different voices, flows n shit. Clearly influenced the Migos, Young Thug n the whole "new" rap sound. Fuckin GOATS 💯
That's actually called your opinion. It's not a fact. Fact means a thing that is known to be true on every level. If there was, only, one person who doesn't believe they were the greatest, that would make it an opinion. Sorry, bud..I know it's a cool word and all and it helps with your vocabulary, but it's inaccurate. That, is a fact.
My man said the box I haven't heard of that in years I remember staying up at night watching the box at like 12:00 in the morning waiting for my favorite songs to come on I was like 8 9 at the time now I'm 32 years old and that was definitely a good mind refresher the box used to be the s*** big facts 💯
Which one of the bone dudes was the person in that said buck buck to the block yo! He was waving his head and was talking Spanish . The entire video was dope. Even the angle of the sun was dope
@@jaake58koinz45 It does when you don't look at it from a victim perspective. It's business, not charity. If I do a business deal with you, it's my job to look out for my interest, and you to look out for yours. We negotiate, and meet in the middle. That's how business is done. Me expecting you to be my mentor and coach and to teach me the business, while simultaneously negotiating a deal with me is absurd. Unless that's the actual relationship that we have established
@@RanceRob I agree. Get the game from whoever you gotta get it from...books, videos, other artist...just don't expect to get it from the entity that you're doing business with. It's not their job to take you to "artist school"...it's their job to do business deals that benefit them and their shareholders, and it's the artist job to do the same. It 's no different than any other business
So so SOooo glad that GOD protected me from this evil and wicked music industry. All my attempts to get signed by a major label were blocked unbeknownst to me at the time, it was for VERY GOOD REASON. God knew EXACTLY what he was doin'!

I ran them streets of Watson Ave back in the 80's and 90's.. Where there was codes that gangsters and hustlers' lived by.. And that was RESPECT and Loyalty!! Which at onetime people respected the life and the codes of the streets!!! The streets are disfigured by the youth that think they know everything and don't even know how to aim!!! So this is why I retired put my gloves up after doing a nice stretch!!! You learn that if you don't listen to as they say these old heads then the streets will certainly raise you teach you the hard way about hustling then send you back to your family in a body bag!!!! I am good peace to all the real ones!
Hell yea i remember the box i think it was channel 70 over here in Chicago
LOVE FROM 216 💯
Layzie Real Official Dude!! Kicking some real knowledge and truth!! God bless!!
Alot of people have gone through that in the music industry not getting their cut that they were suppose to.

He talks with the same cadence as Bizzy Bone. They sound just alike!
They're brothers I believe
@@ninastarrr2 not by blood, but by honor. The things they've lived thru, they pretty much are family
Edit: Flesh and Layzie are brothers, Wish is their cousin. Krayzie and Bizzy met them at elementary or middle school
Bizzy was a very close friend I Believe their mothers were close friends
I just the group in Simpsonville SC.. I swear a great time and they still got it even my daughter was like wow they still look the same and sound GOOD!! keep pushing love
Est 1999 was an amazing album all the way through....on cassette
the box was the shit. old school shit. only group i requested daily was these boys right here! my fav group.
ShoutOut to all those 80s babies/90s kids who remember The Box
Looking back at that East/West beef, it's funny how artists like Snoop said they were all stupid and immature back then. We all say that when we become older and wiser looking back at stupid things we've done.
fax shii i’m only 18 and i look back at my childhood and say some things i did was foolish 🤦🏽♂️
Always own your publishing.
I feel what he saying, but when he said the newer generation got it better, naaaaawwww. They dying real quick, we still arounnndddd
We got it better to reach a certain level without the industry but got it worse to make it big with skills and stay real like they did
They still pimp artists with 360 deals and control them if they're too real and smart. A lot of them are fake dummies making trash muzik now
There's no way they got a record deal based on potential. It's all about clout and faking numbers ain't real Hip Hop it's a joke...
I feel you bro but He was speaking on the opportunity with owning your music & getting paid.
I was like 5-6 yrs old watching the box . It’s crazy I’m 30 but I seen and remember atleast 25 years or so of hiphop
same here was born in 1993
I WOULD LOVE TO SPEAK WITH THE INDUSTRY PEOPLE!!
Nothing should shock anyone about the industry especially when we really don't know what goes on behind the scenes. But Ive been told about the dark side in the industry by people I know who've been in the industry for a while and it's not pretty. It looks pretty on the outside but the little that I know I wouldn't want to be in it or my family. People don't realize how much many of these celebrities and executives and others sell out for fame and money
It’s the thuggish ruggish Boooone💪🏽💯💯💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽😭😭😭
Damn Bro.. imagine how much money those record companies were raping rappers for back in the day! And acting like they were doing someone a favor. CRAZY! And then they call people thieves… just wow
First of the month on the box was 440....
I used to get hyped when 440 popped up on the bottom of the screen!!!
😂😂😂
😂
The originators, most influential rap group of all time fr 💯 living legends 🔥🔥🔥
Most influential? Nah, that title goes to the forever reigning champions UGK. Bone did alot and inspired alot but most Influential of all time is UGK. No one can touch Pimp and Bun. And.nobody ever will.. Single artist? Definitely Screw and now Zro. A str8 millionaire and still underground like a mf. UGK 4LIFE. SUC 4LIFE
@@jessietaylor790 Houston Legendz...all respect to them. Z-Ro one of my favourites of all time. But I have to give it to BTNH. There the originators of melodic street rap...different voices, flows n shit. Clearly influenced the Migos, Young Thug n the whole "new" rap sound. Fuckin GOATS 💯
FACTS: They are legendary 🙌
That's actually called your opinion. It's not a fact. Fact means a thing that is known to be true on every level. If there was, only, one person who doesn't believe they were the greatest, that would make it an opinion. Sorry, bud..I know it's a cool word and all and it helps with your vocabulary, but it's inaccurate. That, is a fact.
The box channel 44 wen u had to smack the TV 📺🤣😂
For the Box, not only was it BTNH videos, but also Crucial Conflict - Hay and Rodeo.
My man said the box I haven't heard of that in years I remember staying up at night watching the box at like 12:00 in the morning waiting for my favorite songs to come on I was like 8 9 at the time now I'm 32 years old and that was definitely a good mind refresher the box used to be the s*** big facts 💯
The Box “music television you control” damn I’m getting old 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Which one of the bone dudes was the person in that said buck buck to the block yo! He was waving his head and was talking Spanish . The entire video was dope. Even the angle of the sun was dope
Straight up represent layzie bone mo thugz😎😎😎😎😎
Let me say it again…IT IS NOT THE LABEL’S JOB TO “TEACH YOU” THE BUSINESS!!!
Facts
You’re right but this statement is also B.S.! Thank God there are enough platforms that allow artists the chance to school the new ones up on game.
True, but it still doesn't make it right.
@@jaake58koinz45 It does when you don't look at it from a victim perspective. It's business, not charity. If I do a business deal with you, it's my job to look out for my interest, and you to look out for yours. We negotiate, and meet in the middle. That's how business is done. Me expecting you to be my mentor and coach and to teach me the business, while simultaneously negotiating a deal with me is absurd. Unless that's the actual relationship that we have established
@@RanceRob I agree. Get the game from whoever you gotta get it from...books, videos, other artist...just don't expect to get it from the entity that you're doing business with. It's not their job to take you to "artist school"...it's their job to do business deals that benefit them and their shareholders, and it's the artist job to do the same. It 's no different than any other business
What did he “expose” exactly…?
lol just ignore the fucking titles man it’s all bullshit
stay woke .... lol
