Bone: Rest In Peace 1994-1997

[infinite59]

Is anybody still feeling Bone these days? From the years 94, Creep on a Come up to 97's Art of War.  Since then they've fallen off.  What happened?  How could a group so ill, turn so wack?  The loss of Eazy?  Problems with the label?  Money and Pussy made them loose their concentration?  What do ya'll think.

its that bitch tomika wright whos fuccin bone over. after eazy died, she took over the label and know its in shambles.

Everything That's Wrong With Bone Can Be Traced Back To Tomika Wright.  She Screwed Them All On Their Contracts, Only Paid Some Of Them, Tried To Play Them Against Each Other, List Goes On And On And On.

[Jay ay Beee]

Somebody needs to expain Tomika Wright and Ruthless to me cause I don't know nothing about that situation
Safe

I agree with y'all that the Black Widow fucked Bone, thats a factor.

but also, it seems like they never come with any original shit anymore, when they first dropped doing that speed rap with the singing over the bomb old samples it was fresh. Now theyre STILL doing the exact same thing, its boring.

Also I think DJ UNeek fell the fuck off, i dont know if he produced their new shit or not, but hes wack these days IMO

[Last Dragon]

Speaking about that, I know Bonedoesn't like her.  Has she ever responded to Bone's complaints?  I know Bizzy called her a Black Widow in the liner notes of Heaven'z Movie.

It's Hard To Explain Tomika Wright, Because Nobody Can Figure Out What The Fuck Her Problem Is... I Think The Story Is

Eazy Was Dying, And Somehow They Were Married In The Hospital? After He Died, She Comes Up With Papers Saying She's His Wife, And Gets The Ownership Of Ruthless Records Out Of It.  I Believe Soon After That She Squeezed Jerry Heller Out Of The Picture, And They Really Haven't Done Anything Since, Except Release Bone Thugs Stuff.... (Or That's The Biggest Thing They've Done)... MC Ren Released 1 Album, MAYBE 2 (I Think It Was 2 ) On The Label, And An Eazy Album, But For Years Nothings Happened, Except Bone.  Then Word Comes Out That She's Not Paying Bizzy Bone, For Some Reason... All The Bone Members Got The Bright Idea That Even Though They Were Signed As A Group, They Could Sign Solo Deals Elsewhere, So They Did... Then Bizzy No Showed A Ton Of Shows (Because He Wasn't Getting Paid).  Then The Rest Of Bone Either Chose His Side, Or Fought With Him.  Then They Finally Dropped Their Last Ruthless Album (Or Maybe It's The One Coming Up) To Get Out OF Their Contract.

Basically, Tomika Didn't Have A Very Strong Relationship With Eazy, They Were Married Just Before He Died.  Then She Ran The Company Into The Ground, Because She Didn't Sign Anyone New, And Pissed Off The Few People That WERE Signed To The Label (Dresta, BKO Knockout, Bone, Ren) By Not Giving Them Promotion, Money, Or Helping Them Release Their Albums.  Basically, She's Done Nothing Except Collect The Cash... Any Responsible Label Would Have Hired More Peeps, Or Encouraged Artists To Release Stuff, Etc.

[Trauma-san]

OH, 1 More OF The Biggest Mistakes She Ever Made.  Ren's Album's Didn't Sell Shit (No Promotion)... Now, If Ren Was Signed To Aftermath, Or Doggystle, Or The Row, Don't You Think They Could Have Promoted Him Properly! That's One Of The Most Talented MC's Ever, And They Couldn't Make Him Go Gold...

[Rud]

DAMN RITE TRAUMA...........REN CUD B SO BIG IF HE WAS ON A DECENT LABEL........RUTHLESS SUX, ITS WACK....I DONT EVEN THINK IT CAN B CALLED A LABEL!!!

ALL HIS ALBUMS R MORE OR LESS DOPE WITH A CUPLE OF TRACKS AS XCEPTIONS BUT PRODUCTION WITH DRE AND SUM HOT COLLABS WUD C A MAJOR ALBUM RELEASE!!

O AND SUM PROMOTION!

peace

[Hades]

Bone ain't off Ruthless anytime soon

Resurrection was just the 3 album filled from their contract, they still got 3 more to do (since AOW counted as 2)

[Don Jacob]

Actually i remember when Ren's album "ruthless for life" came out it was promoted heavily on BET and i remember seeing ads for it in a few magazines and the single "ruthless for Life" was on the rap city top 10 for a bit too

it didn't sell becuase it came out in 98', the year of the westcoast/gangsta rap backlash, where every one didn't care for anything from the west anymore....people were all into shit like

Puffy
Mase
Master P
Silkk the shocker
and Will Smith

[TheSheriff]

Eazy wouldn't have married her if they weren't close. And at least the music came out by them.

[Don Seer]

i've never felt bone.

but i only realised it was them Biggies - Notorious Thugs today.

what should i check out?

[Doggystylin]

Tomica wright is nothin but a money hungry biaaaatch,  she bassicly broke bone up and got them in a fight. Bone was always one of my favorite groups but nowdays (2001) they have been falling off as a group... Ruthless really sucks Huge D**K

and i think its 1994 -early 2000 cause i liked ressurection

and to overseer : most of their albums are good like Creep on + East 1999 + Art of War + Resserection but i dont know which one you would like

[Mr_Loc]

i would say E 1999 Eternal was their best work overseer
