They have ruined a classic totally ruined it. It will be a hit in the Uk and most people wont realise that it is actually a bone thugs song. I dont no how u can say they have done it well. They have taken all the emotion out of the song, there verses r shit and they cant sing. >:(

Nar man I disagree I have heard the original and I love it but that didnt get released as a single in UK so its good that it has been remade and now will be released as a single.  Its still not as good as the Bone Thugs version but still its good enough.

You sure the original didn't get released in the UK, I'm sure someone can tell us that ain't true, cause that sounds like bullshit.

btw. they completely ruined the song and turned it into a cheap commercial song which has nothing to do with the original purpose: A tribute to eazy-e and other people bone lost

Sorry Bez, I Gotta Disagree. They Ruined This Track. Its A Straight Rip Off Horribly Done. I Saw An Interview With Them About It, They Didnt Even Mention The Fact It Was A Cover...Makes Me Wonder If They Even Know Or The Record Company Selected It...

I Dunno If The OG Single Was Released Over Here, But The Video Gets Loadsa Play - It Was Really Popular Last Year It Was On TV Loads!

1) Blazin Squad fucked up a classic.

2) On Kiss (music channel) they said "Bone's version was good BUT theres was better.

3) Tha Crossroads (Bone's version) WAS released in the uk and reached the charts somewhere in the top 5

I am sure they where jokign when they said there version was better cos they started laffing after they said it.  Yet again WCC's lack of sense of humor comes into play.

Man,dont just assosiated black people with hip hop.

I think its a good cover and I like it.  I aint guna say I was joking because I wasent, I think its good.  And as for what they are wearing, who cares.  Just  because they aint black and they aint wearing what you consider black people should  be wearing you are judging them.  

Dont get me wriong the original was so much better but what original isnt when it is covered.????

LOL. I have to hear this. My girlfriend mentioned that they'd done it - she said they were little kids - is that right? Crossroads was a top 10 hit in the UK, so people should know (mind you, UK charts have a short fucking memory span...)

I think it all sounds funny as fuck - how a bunch of UK kids have the nerve to cover a song that was a tribute to the late mentor of the original band is beyond me. Can someone here tell me what it sounds like, honestly? Do they have the accents and everything???

Tee hee, stuff like this makes me glad to be alive.
