Now that im older and understand media propaganda and also who REALLY runs the rap game it makes perfect sense as to why Bone, who at one point in time was the hottest hiphop (and arguably act PERIOD) act on the planet, breaking records held by The Beatles, and winning Grammys to seemingly disappearing off the map.
What I believe happened was that Bone who gave us kid-friendly songs like Thuggish Ruggish Bone, Me Killa, Mo Murder, Weed Song, Foe the Love Of Money and Shoot Em Up( this was for the soundtrack to a movie about boxing by the way) began to mature and wanted to pull away from the demonic, quiji board, bodybag- filling, thuggin on da corner, shotgun blastin image that they had made for themselves. The label (old white & jewish men) said "absolutely not, continue with the thug image or your days of being rich & famous will be over.
It cant be a coincidence that Bone's most positive single came out near the end of their peak:
To sum it up: The Powers That Be DID NOT want BONE influencing the black youth in a positive way
