It's crazy and sad how Bone Thugs-n-Harmony practically got nothin over 40MM+ sold

[Rev]

I just finished listening to the hilariously classic Bizzy Bone interview from '07 for the first time in years, and he's talkin about how he was sleeping at bus stations, shelters, just going from city to city.

These dudes have sold 40MM+ records in the US as a group alone (excluding compilations & solos), and this is back in the 90s when it was all tapes & CDs...the real money.

It's sad how they got played outta their publishing & everything else since they signed so young & all. And yea we've seen this a lot over time...but FORTY MILLION PLUS RECORDS in the US alooooooooone.

This interview will never get old:

 

[Da King]

Jerry Heller

 

[Buckeye Fever]

That's my group

 

[YBE]

They generated over $500,000,000.00 atleast. Dummies

 

[The Message]

Me and my boys were when we first heard this. We cloooooowwwwned off this for months. haha Props on the reup. I forgot about this shyt. Man the music business be breaking nikkas down to the very last compound.

Not to mention no acknowledgement from any of these award shows... It's like they didn't even exist. My nigs put in hella work too. Kept their names alive independently when 75% of people will say they fell off after The Art of War because nothing else following was properly promoted including all of their solo albums. It's really a curse. They never had creative control over their albums and then all of the in house fighting. I wanted them to shine again so bad like when Kanyne boosted Twista's career again. But damn... fukk it, that's just how it is.

bizzy is bizzy. keep in mind that hes insane and has 28123 kids. his situation is a bit different.

yea, its crazy how theyve been written out of the history books.

but that interscope album was a top seller in '07 and they won an AMA off that. and dropped a platinum-selling movie.

Sad how Bone Thugs came in the game off them demonic Ouija boards, and that was the end results.

oh na...no doubt Bizzy is a different case on his own, but Heller & Tomica Wright took it all from these poor dudes, albeit legally.

Which makes me wonder, despite Eazy supposedly being great to Bone & everything, i'd imagine everything Tomica got off of Bone Thugs/Ruthless Records was because Eazy was swindling Bone just as much...right?

That relationship would've soured eventually over money, i would say.

Bizzy bone was really going to assassinate eazys wife

 

[re'up]

I can't say EVERY member is straight, but I know that Wish, Layzie, and the basic members, besides Bizzy stay touring, and seem to be doing fine financially, as well as rap stars from yesteryear are expected to be. However, yeah, they made enough to set up multiple generations of family with trusts and property, and I'm doubtful that's the case now.
