The REAL Reason Bone Thugs N Harmony Disappeared From the Face Of the Earth

@ "they had nothin else to rap about". Yep, its way deeper than just rap
Nice try.
a) I could care less who Rocky glorifies. It's all about how the music turns out. Rocky thinks French Montana is dope. I think Montana is basura. End of story. Unlike most hip hop fans, I actually have independent thought. I don't like an artist simply because my favorite artist likes an artist. It's the dumbest shyt ever.
b) Rocky's skillful appropriation of Bone Thugs' style is one of the most impressive things I've heard from a new school cat. Because he was smart enough to extract the coolest aspect of their style while ditching the corny parts (such as the obnoxious barbershop quartet shyt). It also helps that Rocky's voice is WAY better than any Bone Thugs member.
There you have it.
this guy is hillarious.the way he loves to use the word "corny" while proppin up asap mob is nothing short of amazing.

Oh, I see. You're just here to say cute shyt without actually making a point. Usual Wacky D shyt.
Thanks for playing.
what point is there to make?
you like what you like. what am i supposed to type an essay about? lol.
chit is just funny.
If you had nothing to say, why even respond to me to begin with? You love the attention?
If I find something amusing and there's nothing I want to add, I just chuckle and keep it moving. Maybe give a dap. You on the other hand will attempt some sideways comment, then when pressed, back down like a lil bytch but pretend people are looking too deep into it.
That shyt is amusing to me
It's all good.

lol. you need to log off and go buy some ass.
it aint that serious, and its not even about nothing. meanwhile youre typing up essays and talking tough thru a keyboard.
what you know about this chit anyway? youre dam near in your mid-30s, yet you still missed most of this era.
Co sign
Bone had a following but those where cats that paid attention to what was going on Stateside and had the time to decipher all that double,triple time rapping,most cats were put off by the style and let's not forget most of Europe was really East Coast biased in the mid-late eighties to early nineties..Rakim/Epmd and after that Snoop/Dre changed the way people listened to hiphop over here..the same reason it took a while for european hiphop fans to come down from the P.E Bpm type records to EPMD/Rakim etc...ears where tuned differently over here in the late eigthies early nines..That's why House had no problem exploding in Europe,we where already tuned to 120 BPM's and up from listening to Miami Bass/Planet Rock type songs in the early eighties.I remember Bone had a cult following of dudes dressing like them and doing all that tongue twisting but we didn't take them serious with all that barbershop quartet noise..never really got into them..i liked thuggish ruggish because of Bizzy,mad talented but conflicted from the getgo
think outside the box people.
bone been touring overseas heavy for like 2 decades now. and im talking all the way across the globe. not just europe.
just because they dont dwell on it all the time like wutang does, it doesnt mean that theyre only big in america.

Some other additional contributing factors played into it like other posters have mentioned like Tomika Right not knowing how to run a label, bad contracts, Bizzy always doing something else.
As far as Snoop though, he has the benefit of being linked to the legacy of Dr. Dre among other things. When 2001 came out and blew up he was on two of the major singles (Still D.R.E. and The Next Episode). Because of his connection to Dre/Aftermath he's been associated with classic albums (2001, The Marshall Mathers LP, Get Rich or Die Trying [PIMP remix]), the NWA reunion (Source cover, Chin Check), things like that. He also had a major push commercially, first with Deathrow, then with No Limit. Then there's his ability to market his image better than any of the individual members of Bone Thugs.
people really just make up randoms shyt
bone had a bunch of awesome positive singles.....threadstarter isnt wrong but they also did a lot of bad biz and choices, shoudl have done way more guest spots too
