How are Bone Thugs so irrelevant?

[blizzard man]

this thread made me go listen to E. 1999 eternal on spotify, as well as this classic

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

You did too change it. This one is white and the last one wasnt

everybody else can see the chit is the same font.

 

[raoulduke187]

maybe because you can't really decipher what they be saying on records

when I played some of their shyt the verses usually sound like "aduicbduiosnafoaeudnqiofjdoilgjvfiphboiahdolsdjckvnsfjvnsfjnkdfnksjdn Bone Bone Bone"

 

[Budda]

It's funny because their probably the most influential rappers from the 90's as well.

 

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

DJ Uneek didn't have the same heat either.

fukk anybody that slanders bone in anyway the only individual or group that can match pac & bigs impacts, legacies & influence during their run

And fukk nikkas who slander resurrection & strenght & loyalty those albums were praised upon their releases by all the respected hip hop & music magazines & the streets

The only reasons theyre not remembered & mentioned at all these days is because no one could ever duplicate them & their time & impacts & they never was able to make people remember them with their initial releases after strength & loyalty

Individually they really had no impacts & their basically a real live hip hop version of the 5 heartbeats

To much damn turmoil in that group thats still going tell this day every week its something new thats always disappointing & heartbreaking especially if you've followed them since day 1 tell today

They were meant for a certain sounds (90s g funk style mixed with midwest) a la Snoop and that sound faded.

But unlike Snoop they didn't reinvent themselves as a personality. Bone is solidified though even their later albums were low key flames

Dr Dre black balled them

 

[Pit Bull]

exactly. I used to shyt on 3 6 Mafia because I thought their vocals were trash and the mainstream stuff I always heard/was recommended to me sucked. The Booth gave shytty recommendations because 99% of people here don't really listen to hip hop like that. It's only when I dug into underground vol tapes that I started seeing why 36 deserve their respect. Some of those early beats still go hard as fukk.

The fukk do Bone Thugs bring to the table? Vocally they were shyt. and their production was shyt. End of story.

Good point, it ain't just the Booth either. That's why nikkas think southern Hip Hop in general is wack, it's because they don't know shyt about it. It's so many gems from out the south in the 90s. nikkas only know mainstream bullshyt but i'm not mad about that because southern gangsta rap from the 90s is the only Hip Hop that ain't been cactified.

 

[feelosofer]

I disagree, I see a elements on Bone Thugs in a lot of rappers.

what are the top 3 southern gangsta rap albums from the 90s, breh? Best production? I'm curious

 

[Harry B]

Strength & Loyalty did pretty well and that was 15 years after their debut, pretty solid for a 5 man group

 

[MisterMajesty]

I personally think they pissed someone off, Bones are HUUUUUUUUGE over here, have been for yonks, and even when i was growing up, they actually got more play than Wu in London (we prefer more south shyt) and thuggish ruggish got a lot of play in 2003-06 in grime sets nearly ten years after it came out

I much prefer Wu, but from my gen? Wu wasn't all that. they were heavily respected though of course.

cant just throw shyt like that out there without receipts breh. Elaborate

 

[SpacelySprockets]

Breh it's the east coast/NY bias on here that's all. I'm just like you, I don't know anyone who fukks with wu or knows any of thier songs like that. Meanwhile teens love first of the month, I tried, for the love of money etc

im from the east coast and I fukk with bone way more than wu tang(both before my time)

but you cant deny wu tang resonates more with the younger generation just off the strength of the drake co-sign and their logo became a huge thing for hypebeasts to put on clothing so naturally people would look up some of their music, I remember going into pacsun and there was a old wu tang song playing

and maybe my assessment is wrong, but u cant say people dont at least know CREAM
