keepin it real^^^^^and notice that....bone has always stayed true and never sold out..in the begining they never had no women no ice no cars or any of that shit in their videos..and they STILL dont....now thats real
By the way Bone Thugs never made a song to go commercial, They alwayz stayed real and the fame and success came natural.
End of discussion.
cuz when you read that shit you put out it basically say bone debuted at #1 on the billboard chart, won grammy, tied singles chart with the beetles......
BTNH Resurrection was commercial as fuck imo.
minority you talk about how Bone thugs stole there style from twista an 3-6 mafia, but yet tha same thing could be said for NWA, ice-t was doin tha gangsta shit b4 them. But tha thing NWA an Bone thugs were tha first ones to blow that style of rap tha fuck up. Also when rappers make tribute songs, tha crossroads is tha song that they are always compared to
considering they did do a song with mariah carey
they never blew up that scene and no one really out of the midwest never really blew up or broke that place until nelly.
The 7th broke it down pretty well, but im gonna add some more shit that proves E.1999 Eternal is a classic.........First off, this album has been bitten NUMEROUS times, and IT IS the blueprint for which all midwest albums of today are measured by. Even Tech9nine [mad respect] used E.1999 Eternal as a blueprint for making his last album. The sales have little to do with the impact of this album, other then the important fact that it was the VERY first album [besides Creepin] from the midwest to gain commercial success, thus putting the midwest on the map. Whats more important is the sound that it brought to hip hop. After this album came out, EVERYONE tried using this style AT LEAST once. Even Outkast, Nas, and Biggie have tried to use Bone's formula at least once, and they arent even from the midwest!! When people think of important midwest albums, E.1999 Eternal is almost alwayz the first one that comes to mind. How the fuck can Physco Drama, Twista, do or die, and Crucial Conflict be better than Bone when they were the ones who used E.1999 Eternal to make their formula?? Sure, Twista may have been speed rappin before Bone was, but he didnt start putting harmony into his music until AFTER E.1999 Eternal came out. Aside from all the impact, the album itself is AMAZING. This album is a movie on wax, straight up, and everyone else from the midwest has yet to put out something of this caliber. The production is FLAWLESS, and unlike most rap albums, it was used with REAL instruments instead of bullshit-ass drum machines, thanx to Tony C, who produced most of the album {Uneek wasnt involved as much as most people think]. A greatly orchestrated album. The album has NO filler either, I can listen to it all the way through........all the songs flow into eachother beautifully. Another sign of this album being a classic is the fact that people STILL buy it today. When an album sells alot 6 years after its release, especially a rap album, there HAS to be something special about it, and its more than likely considered to be classic material. Most rap albums are lucky if they stay on the charts for 50 weeks. E.1999 Eternal has been on the charts for OVER 300 weeks.......an accomplishment few other rap albums have seen [All Eyez On Me, Ready To Die, and a few others have done it, but thats it]. This is an album people STILL bump today, and one they will continue to bump for years to come. Ive been a Bone fan since "Fo Tha Love Of $" came out, and I STILL have memories of the impact this album had in 95'-96. If this album isnt a classic, then NO other rap album is. Period. End of discussion.
