Bone Thugs E. 1999 Eternal-Top 5 Album of All Time

[JustCKing]

Which of Michaels contemporaries are out streaming him? I checked the Beatles, Eagles, Rolling Stones, Prince and Madonna and he outstreams all of them. Is there a huge pop star from the 80s I’m forgetting?

The fact that he's being out streamed period is the point.

And to put Bone into perspective, even die hards reduce them to two projects (the EP and E. 1999). Many have them falling off with Art of War. Do people even acknowledge BTNHResurrection let alone the albums that came after? This is why regardless of what they sold, they really had those two projects. And while people may have moved on from the group, those are still revered for what they meant and still mean as opposed to the whole discography being written off as a passing fad.

Their streaming numbers is basically people who are still listening to their first two projects.

 

[I love Latina women]

It was one of my favorite albums of the 90's, but it's one of those albums that nowadays I don't listen to anymore.

You aren't getting it because you're randomly conpating two groups and one of those groups is yout favorite. You aren't making any sense. Bone outsold Mobb in the '90's. By the 00's, Bone had one last album that went platinum. Then they had one gold album. HUGE fall off of a group that was once one of the biggest groups in Hip Hop rivaled only by Wu. It's not rocket science.

It was ridiculous to compare Gangstarr to Jay because Jay didn't have the fall off and he has new music (as late as 2017) that still sells.

Your first paragraph about Bone and Mobb is a mess. What in that paragraph leads you to the conclusion that Mobb would out stream Bone? You talk about Bone falling off commercially in the 2000s as if Mobb didn’t also fal off commercially in the 2000s.
unless you are going to admit that the expectation from their commercial performance in real time was that Bone would waaay outstream Mobb presently, you are going to continue to talk in circles and not make sense.

I agree that it was a ridiculous comparison with Jay and Gangstarr but I had to make it to get you to finally admit the obvious which is that there are expectations with streaming and that context matters. So why have you been trying to avoid admitting that this whole time?

You just sat there and said the streaming service YOU use.

You didn’t answer the question. What is the bias exactly?

 

[mobbinfms]

The streaming doesn't back that sentiment. Bone's decline started BEFORE there ever was a streaming service. It says nothing about how people feel about an E. 1999 Eternal. People could've written Bone off a decades ago and still consider that particular album to be timeless. It is possible to like past music from an artist and not really check for anything else from that artist at all.

Yes it does. The sentiment is that people don’t check for Bone anymore. The streaming data backs that up. It’s really that simple.

The fact that he's being out streamed period is the point.

By which of his contemporaries? Or are you going back to ignoring context for this point?

They are and will always be a legendary group. The impact in real time was astronomical and they were very influential. The present day reverence just doesn’t come close to matching up with how big they were in real time.

I tried has over 60 million streams. Very impressive for a late career song. Mobb Deep has nothing like that.

And that particular song also featured prime Akon. That is probably more due to casuals streaming that song than it is Bone fans. Strength & Loyalty was a weird album for them. Really didn't sound like Bone even though there were good songs on it. They had a song with Bow Wow on that album that was also a single .

Bone doesn't really have present day reverence. There were even people who were confused as to why Bone wasn't going up against a bigger group when they had their Verzuz against Three Six. And a lot of what Bone pioneered is attributed to Three Six.

No it doesn't, if you look at the streaming numbers, those 3.5-4 million numbers are par the course for even some of the bigger names in the 90's. The artists that have more are either still active or they were still going strong during the 00's and '10's.

Name an artist bigger than Michael Jackson.

That’s not true.
Dre
Pac
Biggie
Ice Cube
Cypress
NWA
Coolio
Meth
Fugees
All 5 million or more

Even Wu is closer to 5 million.

All peaked in the 90s and fell off (or died or didn’t release another album or broke up) in the 2000s like Bone.

 

[mobbinfms]

Bone doesn't really have present day reverence.

That’s my point.
