Bone Thugs & Three 6 Mafia

[That_Cracka_J]

I know everybody's heard that Three 6 claims that Bone bit their style after seeing one of their concerts in Memphis.  I always just blew this off, but I realized something kinda interesting yesterday....

I was listening to Bone's first album (Faces of Death), which came out in originally in like '92 or '93, and I came to the song "Hell sent".  The whole song is about fighting the devil and satan and hell in general.  That's sort of a coincidence, like they were going up against Three 6 Mafia.  But then at the beginning of the song they say that they come together to form an organization much stronger than the "MAFIA"...I don't know, maybe it's just a coincidence, but damn, it does make me think...

Anyway, I don't care who came up with the style, cause Bone does it better.

really i never found 3-6 and bones styles similar at all really...at times it was but not too similar...me personally i think 3-6 has better music than Bone...sure Bone has many more hits...but 3-6 has one of the most contrevisial songs ever.....Tear Da Club Up...nobody since Body Counts Cop Killer had made a song that was banned....sure UGK had a banned album but it wasnt a major album....Bone has always been West Coast influenced to me....3-6 took their influence from The Showboys, 2 Live Crew and The Geto Boyz....

I never paid attention to that line. They don't really sound alike if you ask me, but I prefer Bone's shit.

[ZILLA THA GOODFELLA]

Nah...They dun sound alike at all...

And ummm, they aint got no beef nomore...shit waz squashed ages ago cuz 3-6 realized dissing them wont get em more fans...they collaborating and shit now.

That wasn't really the point of my topic about them sounding alike...I don't think they sound that much alike either.  I just found that line interesting in "Hell sent".  Oh yeah, I know that they don't have beef anymore.  That's been over since like 1998-1999.

They dont really sound alike to me.......but Bone is easily the better group. Two classic albums, countless classic songs, impact & influence............

[ZILLA THA GOODFELLA]

lol....I think tha line waz a coincidence, I waz just listenin 2 it rite now....but who knoes....

[That_Cracka_J]

probably so, but...

3-6 caught alot of heat for putting krayzie on a song with them...they got dissed for it....i think 3-6 has been dissed as much as ice cube and dre....
