I never was a Bone Thugz fan until today. I never realized how deep and hard their music is. They make ghetto gospel, also the rapping and harmonizing is next level. I can barely understand what they're saying. My brain is adjusting to their melodies. That makes hearing their lyrics easier. If they slowed down like Jay Z did, they might get the credit they deserve as pioneers.
Pro tip: To follow Bone lyrics you have to catch the melody, not the beat. They rap off the melody and the beat, but mainly the melody.
Super facts: Modern rap owes Bone everything. I never knew Bone was this talented for this long. The cadences and melodies they find in songs require having musical talent, they're not just rappers, they're musicians that use their voices as instruments.
I'll be listening to a lot of Bone, pause, their music is dark, rhythmic, hard as fukk, and deep. I swear to God they had a message on every song, they were never just rapping fast. Their music has hella feeling too, it sounds like sing and rap how they feel. It's easy to fake emotion to fool someone else. Being vulnerable and speaking from the heart is very fukking hard. I think they did on every track.
HAHAHA Bone should make Brotha Lynch Hung an honorary member. Also, people forget Jay Z used to rap like Bone. Jay Z when he was young, was more about the flow, dude had a crazy flow and lyrics. What he got him famous was slowing down and getting people to connect to his lyrics.
Jay Z has sold out twice in his career. I get it, you have to succeed at certain levels, but Jay needs to come home. People are forgetting that Jay Z was the best rapper for a few years. Black Album is still hard as fukk.
