dope album not classic like their ruthless shit, but still got some nice shit on there
Was U-Neek around then? Maybe it was DJ U-Neek that took them next level? I mean how do you go from Faces of Death to a certified 5 Mic Classic with the EP?
bone met u-neek out in LA, so his production was def a part of it.. also, with ruthless they had better direction, a bigger budget, and were more seasoned overall.. creepin on ah come up was classic, but e.1999 was on another level .. arguably a top 5 album in hip-hop history.
ah word.. yeah then U-Neek was also a huge factor. Wonder if it was Eazy's wisdom to put U-Neek there with Bone. Did U-Neek produce any similar shit for Eazy or other artists around the time, or he just crafted that production for Bone? I remember hearing an interview about it one time, but only part I remember was that they were recording with U-Neek and they went out to get something and came back and he had a beat playing, and when they heard that beat they knew that was the sound they wanted for the whole EP, something like that.I consider Creepin On A Come Up to be equal in quality to East 99' they are both 5 mic classics in my book. Only reason East 99 gets the edge is its a full length album and Creepin is an EP.
cant argue against creepin on ah come up, but their style was more defined by east 1999. to me that’s a flawless LP.
Faces of death is an underwhelming listen compared to the classics that followedEazy definitely helped shape them but I think they were just older and had sharpened their skills and had a better idea of their image and style by then. Both creepin and e1999 are arguably top 10 hip hop albums of all time
I don’t know homie I don’t really see much of an upgrade in their style from “Creepin” to “East 99” you got any example of some shit they was doin on East 99 that was a level up?? Cause the beats, the harmonizing, the concepts, the bangers, it’s all there on Creepin
Your answers are in this interview
thanks homie I'll check it out
Only thing I really heard was something about an R&B group that he was producing for.. and that was the sound they decided to go with for Bone
