You gotta do East 1999 eternal next. All time top 10 albums all genres for me. Peak Bone when they really hit their stride and fully realized themselves.
I’m from Cleveland & am so happy your listening to Bone. They’re highly respected but underrated as hell. Influenced a lot of todays melodic rap & don’t get a lot of credit for that at all You should give Mick Jenkins - The Waters a listen, it gets better with every track
@@codejjm I can see that, their voices are similar. & same on The Waters it’s still one of my favorite albums to this day & didn’t get enough recognition in my opinion
I saw this video and realized I’ve never heard of these guys besides the one with eazy e in it so I listened to it about 3 times while working and holy shit. Im gonna be crushing this album!!!
You absolutely HAVE TO check out thier album East 1999 Eternal…if you like this EP you will LOVE East 1999. Thier best album…also the album after that is a classic too called “The Art Of War”…its a double disc. But you gotta check out East 1999…thank me later
Agree with your theory that they held back their harmonies a little on this album so they can establish themselves as rappers. Because the next year they dropped what is probably their biggest album, E. 1999 Eternal and it has songs where they full on sing and harmonize on. But its also balanced with the gritty rap tracks so it's a perfect blend imo Btw great pick for the Monday vid
Bone were singers before they were rappers and that is why they are so unique. They have this amazing ability to harmonize not just with each other but also with the beat.
@@donb.loneleo770 They talk about it in some interviews. As rap was becoming more popular in their rough neighbourhood they felt it was not safe to be singing on the corner so they slowly made the switch. The entire group's history and how they got their shot is very interesting stuff.
@@justin21491 Now that I think about it Krazyie Bone might've mentioned that in his Drink Champs interview but I watched that a long time ago so I don't really remember. But I agree 100% that their story is really crazy bc iirc they essentially scraped up money to go to LA, called Ruthless nonstop and went back to Cleveland bc Eazy had a show, opened up for him and then so many other things till they got signed. Another crazy thing I learned is that apparently/allegedly during the recording of this album and maybe E. 1999 Eternal is that they were living in a mansion that Eazy gave them for recording but they were still broke so they were robbing stores for food. Then Bizzy goin back to Cleveland to deal drugs bc he thought rap wouldn't pay while he was being played on TV? Like their story is really crazy lmao sorry for the long ass comment btw
@@donb.loneleo770 Ha, no need to apologize. As I said, their history is really interesting. The whole flesh n bone situation after he went to jail is another great example. He laid down his vocals for Resurrection while in jail.
Anyone under the age of 30 finds Bone Thugs underrated. If you guys were around in the 90's Bone Thugs were the biggest and most popular rap group out there. I mean everyone were listening to them. The units they shifted is proof how huge they were. Highly influential too. Bone Thugs haven't had mainstream success in recent years because they've been putting out albums independently. Bone Thugs still headline packed shows all over.
Next Bone Thugs album - East 1999 Eternal. (Considered by most their best album of all time) I'd give their 3rd album "Art of War" the title as their best
Keep reacting to some bone thugs. They have a huge catalog with a variety of music. I'd argue that they're the most versatile rap group of all time. Keep reacting to their albums in order and you'll see how much they have matured and evolved. Trust me. You won't be disappointed 👍
Wowww! Classic childhood album I remember as a young kid asking my dad to play "no surrender" on repeat! Loved looking at the album art, especially the skull and bones on the back!
Love the reaction!! The crazy thing is they were basically your age when they came out. They wrote their lyrics at like 15/16 . They got so much better with each album. The art of war was their best.
Bone Thugs were way ahead of their time. react to E.99 Eternal album next! its a true masterpiece. Then after that you could react to Art of War, which is also great, its a double album and more mature and lyrical with also great flows and harmonies. if you liked this album you'll like those two even more
"Crossroads" might have fooled you, cause they're a full-fledged rap group that blurs the line between rapping and singing, but still prioritizes rapping over singing (if that makes sense). You can check out "Days of Our Livez" from Set It Off soundtrack for more harmony (it is a single, too).
This 1st album doesn't have a much substance as far off lyrics but they definitely evolve throughout the years. They are still making music to this day. If you'd hear a song from today you'd be blown away by how different it is. They kept true to their style and flow throughout the years but always with a different sound. Bone thugs never disappoint
If you like this EP you will LOVE thier debut album East 1999 Eternal. It has gone diamond and has sold over 10 million copies. Its the album Tha Crossroads was on. It also had the song First Of Tha Month which you may have also heard
Lyrically, they were very raw, direct and just talking their slang, the street life they came from while focused on being able to produce their style, different flows and delivery (using a lot of A-B-B-A like rhyme pattern). They are basically in their teens or 20 years old and it would take a few albums before they started to grow lyrically but these first 2 albums are the foundation for their world theme
You gotta remember, when this came out the members were still teenagers Bizzy was actually too young to sign the contract while the others had already signed because they had just turned 18 years old. Their lyrics started to develop on their future projects. But TRUST ME the Harmony is coming in the future songs you listen to. Please keep reacting to Bone Thugs Songs because they get back to it. They also have acapella video clips on TH-cam with them singing around the campfire in the hood, basically Motown. Please react to more. I will be subscribing 😎
Excellent analysis. RIP Jewell (pronounced Jew-Ell) She sung on a lot of Death Row hits as well. Bone Thugs brought Ruthless Records back after the departure of Dr. Dre and Ice Cube. Straight Outta Compton came out in 1988. Crossroads was a dedication to Eazy after he died as well as some close friends and family. I think the ultimate display of their harmonizing ability was on a Mariah Carey song, "Breakdown" (The Mo' Thugs Remix) and "Good Times" a Fat Joe song. Bone Thugs put Cleveland and Ohio on the Hip-Hop map as well as bring more attention to Midwest artists even though a lot of their production was West Coast influenced. They popularized the rapid style flow which had been experimented with earlier in Hip-Hop by Kool Moe Dee(Treacherous 3) and Jay Z. However it was never their main style of rapping like Bone Thugs. The face in the background of the album cover is the 5th member of the group Flesh n Bone. He is the older brother of Layzie Bone and Wish Bone is their cousin He later got a solo deal with Def Jam and wasn't involved much in the groups earlier music. From 1988 - 1999 there weren't many trash albums that came out during this time. Definitely the Golden Era. On top of that everyone's style was distinct. You were looked down upon for copying someone else's style or sounding like another MC. The NWA family tree is very unique. No other group has spawned as many Hip-Hop legends, icons and moguls as NWA. Eminem, D12, Snoop Dogg, Mack 10, Del the Funk Homosapien, 50 Cent, The Game, The D.O.C., Dogg Pound, G-Unit, Anderson Paak and the list goes on. Even Kendrick was mentored by Dr. Dre. The Game and Snoop mentored Nipsey Hussle.
Turns out clipping was a good lead in. I’d forgot how good this was. Got the cassettte (it’s an ep to me). But East 1999 is the real deal. For me, I don’t compare Bone to their peer groups, I compare them to doowop greats. Just doowop driven insane by the crack era. Further your Wu studies. ODB. Ghost.
21:49 You're picking up on all the west coast G-funk. As I understand it, Flesh-n-Bone saved up money from his job at KFC to get the whole group bus tickets to LA to try to get a record deal. They mobbed right up to Eazy Es house in Compton but were never able to get a hold of him. Then they learned he was actually going to Cleveland soon for a show. They bussed back to Ohio and met him at the show, they rapped for him on the spot and the rest is history. Signed to Ruthless, U-Neek did a lot of their production so their music has heavy LA influence. Krayzie still lives there and considers it a 2nd home. It's crazy they worked with Biggie and Pac during the height of that beef and came out unscathed, never had to take sides. Would love to see you do those tracks + E 1999 at some point.
This one was unexpected lol the thing with Bone Thugs is when they came out their flow was unheard of. People compare it to what was coming out in Memphis at the time, But that Cleveland flow was just something else. You hear there influence in everyone from ASAP Rocky to Kendrick to Denzel Curry to Kid Cudi, another Cleveland native who vocalizes quite nicely.
2 things: Bone doesn't have lyrics that are difficult to digest, pretty straightforward. Also, the inflection you comment on, the way they rap, several times they just described it as being able to flip the beat. Think of it as a verbal 808 rap style
You Gotta do E. 1999 Eternal next. They take a GIGANTIC leap lyrically and stylistically. Also to your critique of them not establishing themselves individually, their individual styles shine on E. 1999. Arguably their best work!
Bone Thugs are, in the parlance of our time, a vibe. You're right in that this initial EP doesn't showcase their full potential. It'd be a mixtape today. E. 1999 is when they broke out.
Home with Phil Collins and Break Down with Mariah Carey were 2 cool crossovers of theirs that I loved when I was young. Oh and if you like the double time flows you might appreciate Migos as a group to build on that flow commercially in recent times.
These lyrics do mean things, if you grew up in violent areas with lots of poverty you can just feel how cold and heartless they have to be to feel powerful in those environments. You have to act really tough or you get identified as a mark. An easy person to rob, kill, or manipulate. When I listen to this, I think about being on my old block with all the other kids in my projects rapping and talking like we were going to be the biggest gangsters.
When I first ever listened to bone thugs was I when I first ever smoked Mary Jane. Something about listening to their music their sound high that did it for me. Not saying I can’t listen to them high but just as kid cudi is considered by many as “high music” I would say so is bone thugs. Just some extra insight. Great work love your work! Keep making great content!
Man, that was fun to watch. Great reaction. Bone Thugs was a group I grew up with and still listen to to this day. Same with Wu Tang. However, my taste in music has evolved so much (metal head basically). Love Alice in Chains :). I agree, the content with early Bone wasn't that impressive (when they recorded this album their age ranges were 16-19. They were kids!) But sonically, holy shit, originators to a sound that has influenced some of the biggest rap artists in hip hop today. That Bone Thug sound, production, flows, PHENOMENAL. Yeah, Crossroads was just that outlier song that ended up being a hit but their sound was so much more than that.
They just chill rappers that rap about hood life and being in the hood and the lifestyle almost like Kendrick without the complexity of tryna convey a profound message for change and whatnot, bones is literally just hood commentary and that was common in the early years of rap and the 90s
Good that you picked up on the lyrics not being so important. It's like as long as you pick up some lines here and there you've got the gist of the theme/aura they're presenting (although some of their later work incorporates more deeper lyricism); but it's more about the style which was proved to be super influential yet never duplicated. I'd suggest more Bone of course, the only thing is that (to me) they don't really have a complete, great album -- lot of 'filler' tracks that probably should have just been cut. I'd almost just recommend the Greatest Hits album (double disk).
Bone Thugs is chill, gangsta music to get high to lol but now you need to get to ‘Life After Death’ by Biggie so you can listen to the ‘Notorious Thugs’ track they did. Such a great f*****g song.
I don't get why some feel there's a need to start with the 1st album of every artist. It wasn't necessary with Three-6 and it wasn't necessary here. E. 1999 would've been a much better vid.
@@cloudyriver I love when people just make a statement like their word is gospel. No correction, nothing of substance. Lol thanks for the random false sentence.
You need to check out their next album after this one. "E.1999 ETERNAL". It's incredible from start to finish. My favorite album of all time and the most cohesive album I've ever heard. Every song fits the theme while also adding a variety of sound throughout. I hope you'll check that one out.
This is a great album! They were signed by eazy e so they definitely have a little west coast influence with the mid west flow. Check out E 1999 it’s a long album but also amazing.
This EP is a bit different and was going for more of a west coast sound, the two albums that follow are some of their best work and are more heavy on the harmony and do branch out a bit in terms of the themes There's a lot more depth in those albums, you can tell they're let off leash.
Great reaction and great EP, like others have said, their hands-down masterpiece is E.99 Eternal. Their sound is at their career peak on that album, a little less raw, better production, and a little more harmony.
For more October vibez I would suggest checking out 3 n the mornin part 2 by dj screw and some more three 6 mafia or other Memphis rap albums from the 90’s
Dope review. Definitely have to do E.1999 which ups the ante 10 fold and the production is out of this fucking world. DJ Unique laced it. Keep it going.
I mean u wanna talk about hiphop that stands the test of time look no further than Bone thugz to this day their flow is heavily influential in artists. Very Anti-police due to all the riots and police brutality going on in the 90s and only emphasized what N.W.A and Pac were saying about crooked cops. The intro "Were not against rap, were not against rappers but we are against those thugz" is a way of bone thugz accepting that they are the outcast of society and are what the public should be afraid of they are "gangstas" and "robbers" hence the phrase "creepin on a come up". To summarize this bone thugz are the villainz in the movie and this is the soundtrack.
I’d like to recommend Aesop Rock - The Impossible Kid. One of my favorite hip-hop records of all time, amazing production, lyricism and everything. Rock also self-produced the entire thing, which only makes it even more impressive
Mystic Stylez by Three 6 Mafia and the 2nd Horrorcore album by clipping., Visions Of Bodies Being Burned, are must listen by now. Love the Halloween themed albums that are being reacted to though, keep doing your thing

Mick Jenkins reminds me of Tyler the creator of he took rap seriously
@@codejjm hmm interesting comparison lol Tyler is my favorite artist
@@E1evenDegrees I guess I’m speaking about the sound of his voice. When I first heard that album Water I was blown away

If you want more harmong, check next 2 albums
"E1999 eternal"
"The art of war"
Love this project they have a few stellar albums. E 1999 has more of the harmony that your looking for
Next Bone Thugs album - East 1999 Eternal. (Considered by most their best album of all time)

love the vids man. glad you checked out bone n thugs
Lyrically, they were very raw, direct and just talking their slang, the street life they came from while focused on being able to produce their style, different flows and delivery (using a lot of A-B-B-A like rhyme pattern). They are basically in their teens or 20 years old and it would take a few albums before they started to grow lyrically but these first 2 albums are the foundation for their world theme
You'll get way more harmonies on East 1999
Hell yeah, one of my all-time favorite groups.
This album is legendary for sure 🔥🔥🔥💯
If you’re not going to listen to Life After Death by Biggie, you’ve GOTTA listen to Notorious Thugs by BIG with Bone Thugz. Certified classic!
My favorite song of all time
Notorious thugs is one of the best features ever. Bone fuckin smoked that
Everybody wanted to be BONE back then for sure… when the crossroads video came out uncle Charles eyes were freaky!
You gotta remember, when this came out the members were still teenagers Bizzy was actually too young to sign the contract while the others had already signed because they had just turned 18 years old. Their lyrics started to develop on their future projects. But TRUST ME the Harmony is coming in the future songs you listen to. Please keep reacting to Bone Thugs Songs because they get back to it.

AOW is there best album double disc came out the same year as Wu Tang Forever another double disc album two classics.
this was before "the crossroads" they were teenagers during this Album

Wow that’s amazing how you explain Bone thugs flow like braille so cool!
The melodic rap of migos and the likes all started with these guys
Please do East 1999. Such an evolution. They keep all that works and takes it to the next level.
Bone Thugs are, in the parlance of our time, a vibe.
You're right in that this initial EP doesn't showcase their full potential. It'd be a mixtape today.
E. 1999 is when they broke out.
harmony mostly found in second album..eternal 99
Their 1st group name was bone enterprises the album name was faces of death
Home with Phil Collins and Break Down with Mariah Carey were 2 cool crossovers of theirs that I loved when I was young.
Oh and if you like the double time flows you might appreciate Migos as a group to build on that flow commercially in recent times.
Bone Thugs-n-harmony really start to get into the harmony part if their name in their second album E. 1999 Eternal
This was the shittt in the mid 90's !!!!! It sound crazy to me to hear you not familiar wit thuggish ruggish bone. What!!!
Gotta do the album East 1999 Eternal…thier best album and THE best album
These lyrics do mean things, if you grew up in violent areas with lots of poverty you can just feel how cold and heartless they have to be to feel powerful in those environments. You have to act really tough or you get identified as a mark. An easy person to rob, kill, or manipulate.
When I listen to this, I think about being on my old block with all the other kids in my projects rapping and talking like we were going to be the biggest gangsters.
I love it when groups have similar flows like this, Dipset, Wutang, Three-Six
For the love of money is one of my favourite songs

Love this album! Glad you did it.
I can’t believe I haven’t seen this before lmao. Classic album fo sho gotta do some more classics
Bone thugs are the GOATs! No one like them! You gotta check out their album E.1999 Eternal and Art of War! 🔥🔥🔥
Bone Thugs is chill, gangsta music to get high to lol but now you need to get to ‘Life After Death’ by Biggie so you can listen to the ‘Notorious Thugs’ track they did. Such a great f*****g song.
Now you got to do E. 1999 Eternal, their first full length album. One of the best albums ever made.
Please do more bone thugs east 1999 is the best album check out Krazy bone clash of the Titans
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 legendary 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wait till you hear Notorious Thugs. 🤣
You gotta listen to e.1999 eternal next, alot more harmony
Truly a “vibes” album. Eternal is my fav bone song, that shit is a fuckin BANGER.
Bone thugs n Harmony oh yeah Bone Bob n Rockery
You should've reacted to E.1999 since it's their best album
Nah, good that he started with this
I don't get why some feel there's a need to start with the 1st album of every artist. It wasn't necessary with Three-6 and it wasn't necessary here. E. 1999 would've been a much better vid.
@@TheEllisPrice this is not their first album
@@TheEllisPrice the point is to do eps tho
@@cloudyriver I love when people just make a statement like their word is gospel. No correction, nothing of substance. Lol thanks for the random false sentence.
You need to check out their next album after this one. "E.1999 ETERNAL". It's incredible from start to finish. My favorite album of all time and the most cohesive album I've ever heard. Every song fits the theme while also adding a variety of sound throughout. I hope you'll check that one out.
The only group who did a song with pac and a song with biggie
Idk why but this just made me want to see him listen to Flatbush Zombies
This is a great album! They were signed by eazy e so they definitely have a little west coast influence with the mid west flow. Check out E 1999 it’s a long album but also amazing.
Scarface- the Diary is another classic hip-hop album, and UGK- Too Hard To Swallow
I'm looking forward to you reacting to E. 1999 Eternal. Such a great album.
This EP is a bit different and was going for more of a west coast sound, the two albums that follow are some of their best work and are more heavy on the harmony and do branch out a bit in terms of the themes There's a lot more depth in those albums, you can tell they're let off leash.
Great reaction and great EP, like others have said, their hands-down masterpiece is E.99 Eternal. Their sound is at their career peak on that album, a little less raw, better production, and a little more harmony.
Please do E.1999 eternal by bone
BONE = GOATS
For more October vibez I would suggest checking out 3 n the mornin part 2 by dj screw and some more three 6 mafia or other Memphis rap albums from the 90’s
Dope review. Definitely have to do E.1999 which ups the ante 10 fold and the production is out of this fucking world. DJ Unique laced it.
Keep it going.
PLEASE REACT TO ETERNAL E.1999
If you do another one of their albums, check out E. 1999
Straight Outta Compton was released Aug 08 1988
I mean u wanna talk about hiphop that stands the test of time look no further than Bone thugz to this day their flow is heavily influential in artists. Very Anti-police due to all the riots and police brutality going on in the 90s and only emphasized what N.W.A and Pac were saying about crooked cops. The intro "Were not against rap, were not against rappers but we are against those thugz" is a way of bone thugz accepting that they are the outcast of society and are what the public should be afraid of they are "gangstas" and "robbers" hence the phrase "creepin on a come up". To summarize this bone thugz are the villainz in the movie and this is the soundtrack.
I know you have a long list but 36 mafia "the end" is a good 90s osctober vibe album
Heeeellll yeeessss!!! I was going to suggest Bone Thugs the other day
They were teenagers when this came out.... just to put that in perspective
I’d like to recommend Aesop Rock - The Impossible Kid. One of my favorite hip-hop records of all time, amazing production, lyricism and everything. Rock also self-produced the entire thing, which only makes it even more impressive
hell ye
One of my favorite albums of all time
Mystic Stylez by Three 6 Mafia and the 2nd Horrorcore album by clipping., Visions Of Bodies Being Burned, are must listen by now. Love the Halloween themed albums that are being reacted to though, keep doing your thing
