Whats up everybody? In this blog I wanted to talk about my all time favorite rap group, Bone Thugs N Harmony. Bone Thugs is a rap group that was started by five artist from Cleveland Ohio in 1991. The members are Krayzie Bone, Bizzy Bone, Flesh n Bone, Wish Bone, and Layzie Bone so you can see were they picked the name of the group from. The group became real popular once they signed a record deal with Eric "Eazy E" Wright back in 1994 under Ruthless Records. In 1995 they received a Grammy Award for their song "Crossroads" which talked about losing the important people in their life. A few of my favorite songs from them would have to be "first of the month", "no surrender", "crossroads", and "money money".
"Its the first of the month(wakeup wakeup wakeup)", and after that I say what I "think" they are saying. Something like "so grab ya checks and come on(getup getup getup!)" Those guys could really rap. They clearly deserve a spot on anyone's "All Time Fave's" list. They were a group of their own. They came on the scene at a pivotal time in music for sure. There was NWA and Public Enemy but no rap group to meet the likes of what Bone Thugs would be. Bone Thugs N Harmony had a rap style that was out of this world. Tounge-twisting? My God they had that down-packed. You know you've down something at its best in history when someone tries to copy-cat it. Look at Twister. His name says it all and he is known for doing just that; he twists his tongue to deliver his rap in more than half of his raps. Still,though, the first experience i had with this enticing style was Bone Thugs N Harmony. They did it best and will be the best at it for all time.
