Bone Thugs-n-Harmony: Difference between revisions

Bone Thugs-n-Harmony

Bone Thugs-n-Harmony is a Grammy Award winning American gangsta rap group from Cleveland, Ohio, known for their fast rapping style and harmonizing vocals. The group is one of the best-selling rap groups of all time, with thirty-five million albums sold worldwide. They have also won numerous awards, including a 1997 Grammy in the category of Best Rap Performance for "Tha Crossroads".

Early years: Faces of Death

Formed in the early 1990s and discovered by Eazy-E, the group was originally known as "B.O.N.E. Enterpri$e" and consisted of Krayzie Bone, Layzie Bone, Wish Bone, and Bizzy Bone. They recorded their first album Faces of Death under this name in early 1991. Soon after, Flesh-n-Bone (Layzie Bone's brother) was added to the group.

Their career took off in the mid 1990s after heading to Los Angeles on a Greyhound bus in search of N.W.A leading member Eazy-E. They auditioned over the phone to him in hopes of securing a record deal, but Eazy-E's promise to call them back went unfulfilled. Discovering that Eazy-E was performing in Cleveland, Flesh-n-Bone had to work at KFC so they could make enough money to afford a bus. Upon arrival in Cleveland, the group auditioned in person and they were promptly signed to a contract with Eazy-E's Ruthless Records.

The Ruthless years

Creepin' On ah Come Up

Bone Thugs-n-Harmony's first release on Ruthless Records and first introduction into superstardom, Creepin On ah Come Up was released in June 1994. After a slow start that saw the album's success limited to within the Gangsta rap scene, it broke through to the mainstream with the release of the singles "Thuggish Ruggish Bone" and "Foe tha Love of $," the second of which featured a guest rap by Eazy-E recorded during the Golden Age of West Coast rap music. The sound was raw and explicit. Set to mid to early 1990s "gangsta" beats, the lyrics and style was violent and aggressive. Songs poured out feelings of anger against society for growing up on the tough and economically oppressed streets of Cleveland. Videos for the mega hits "Foe tha Love of $" and "Thuggish Ruggish Bone" showed the group's stance in the rap market as angry thugs straight off the streets, as opposed to other late 1990s acts that rapped about money and fame. Beats supplied by Kenny McCloud, Rhythm D, DJ Yella, and newcomer DJ U-Neek. at was later certified 4x platinum by the RIAA.

E. 1999 Eternal

While Creepin OnaAh Come Up's subject matter was focused nearly entirely on violent criminal activity , E. 1999 Eternal saw Bone diversify from that and its musical stylings. It debuted at number one with 330,000 copies sold in its first week. The G-Funk beats were smoothed by DJ U-Neek (with co-production from Tony C and Kenny McCloud). Similarly, while a considerable portion of the album's concept was built around a violent subject, the album saw Bone delve more into spirituality, Occult mysticism, and also introduced Bone's trademark "weed songs," tracks devoted entirely to the smoking of marijuana. Eazy-E got the idea for the cover artwork from the apocalyptic movie Terminator 2 as Bone, collectively, had a mental fixation the world was going to end in 1999. Eazy-E produced the album before he died of AIDS.

E. 1999 Eternal remains Bone's most successful venture in terms of sales and notoriety. The Album is no short on backers whom place it as one of the best hip hop masterpieces of all time as it represented a perfect balance between real street gangsta inspired lyrics and high artistic skill. Tha Crossroads, the top selling single, was enjoyed by crossover listeners, mainly mainstream pop, thus it helped to expand their impact to other circles even overseas and outside the global hip hop consumer scene.

In 1995, Bone was featured on Russell Simmons' The Show soundtrack album with a track titled "Everyday Thang." It bears no resemblance and is not in anyway related to the track with the same title on the Faces of Death album.This track was very similar to many of the tracks on the E. 1999 Eternal. The album went worldwide diamond, and it went in the U.S. to 6x platinum.

The Art of War

In 1997, the group released the double-disc set The Art of War, backed by the single "Look into My Eyes", which also appeared on the soundtrack of the film Batman and Robin. The album saw Bone further explore a wide variety of subjects and styles, with even more focus on God and family and an overall more ambient, mellow sound. The group still found time for violent lyrics, though, with a large portion of the album dedicated to what they labeled "clones" who claimed Bone had stolen their quick-tongued rapping style and vice-versa. The Chicago-based rap group Crucial Conflict was targeted by name, with indirect disses thought to be aimed at Twista, Three Six Mafia, and Do or Die. The album also included "Thug Luv" with Tupac Shakur. The album is also influenced by the book of the same name by author Sun Tzu. The Art of War philosophy is littered throughout the album. While the album had initial success, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 (with 394,000 copies sold in the first week), it failed to have much staying power. Besides "Look into My Eyes" (which charted at number four on the Billboard Hot 100), the only single was "If I Could Teach the World", which won an American Music Award(AMA). The group's efforts were further dampened by the absence of Bizzy Bone from the album's videos and large portions of the ensuing tour and public appearances. This absence fueled rumors of a break-up. The album was certified 4x platinum by the RIAA (with each album sold counting as two units under the association's certification guidelines).

BTNHResurrection

In 2000, Bone delivered BTNHResurrection, their first group album to prominently feature Flesh-n-Bone, whose presence was limited on previous releases because he had never signed with the group's label Ruthless Records. With Flesh-n-Bone appearing on fourteen of the album's fifteen songs, Krayzie Bone and Wish Bone took a lesser role, appearing on ten and seven songs, respectively. The album's first half featured a slew of hardcore and dark tracks, with the second half being considerably more introspective and soft. The album also featured one of the group's biggest singles, Resurrection (Paper, Paper).

Shortly before the album's release, Flesh-N-Bone was arrested and the group again began having public disputes with Bizzy Bone, with Bizzy Bone again missing out on the promotional tour and appearances. The album debuted at number two on the charts, selling 283,000 copies in its first week, but again the group ran into problems with staying power. The three singles from the album all failed to crack the Billboard Hot 100 and the epic, big-budget video for "Change the World" failed to receive any rotation.

Turmoil & Thug World Order

In 2000, member Flesh-n-Bone was sentenced to eleven years in prison on various gun charges. Eligible for parole in 2008, he currently is housed in Pleasant Valley State Prison in Coalinga, California. Though Flesh's appearances on most of Bone's albums were sparse due to him never signing with the group's long-time home Ruthless Records, he was - and is - considered a member by the group itself.

In late 2001, the group returned to the studio to record their next release, Thug World Order. By February 2002, the supposedly overly-violent and political album was complete. The Thug World Order album saw a drastic change in subject matter and tone for the group. The lyrics were almost completely void of any violence, while the number of tracks focusing on the group itself. In contrast, several songs originally intended to be included on the album that were leaked after its release portray a much different Album.The album debuted at number twelve (selling 82,000 the first week) and quickly slipped off the charts. The album would fare better overseas, with the single "Home" (sampling the song "Take Me Home" by Phil Collins) climbing the charts in a number of countries, most notably the United Kingdom.

After years of problems with member Bizzy Bone, the group officially parted ways with Bizzy after he performed intoxicated with the group at BB King's Blues Club in New York City in October 2002. In October 2003, he rejoined the group for the Wicked Wonka Tour with the Insane Clown Posse and soon recorded Bone Brothers, a duet album with Layzie Bone. Things quickly turned sour, though, as Bizzy declined to tour in support of the album and contract negotiations between Bone and Bizzy with Full Surface Records broke down. After this and a number of other incidents, the group once again cut ties with Bizzy Bone in May 2005.

Mo Thugs Records and other labels

In 1995, founding members Krayzie Bone and Layzie Bone started Mo Thugs Records due to their explosive popularity. In 1996, they released Mo Thugs Family Scriptures, an all-star project of hip hop and R&B artists from Cleveland, Ohio. The album produced the hits “"hug Devotion" and "Take Your Time", which pushed the album to platinum status. Later that year, the thugs saw Mo Thugs records as an opportunity to release Bone Thug member Flesh-n-Bone, who never signed to Ruthless Records, solo. In 1996, Mo Thugs Records as a joined venture with Def Jam Recordings released T.H.U.G.S., Flesh-n-Bone’s & Bone Thug’s first solo effort. The album spawned the hits "World So Cruel", featuring Rev. Run of Run DMC, and "Nothing but the Bone in Me". The album would eventually reach platinum status. Then in 1998, Bone released Chapter II: Family Reunion, the second of Mo Thug's albums that reached platinum status. The album introduced several new artists including Felecia Lindsey-Howse, Layzie Bone's wife, who was featured on the album's first single "All Good" with Krayzie Bone. The second single, "Ghetto Cowboy", featured Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and was a major success, reaching number one on the US Rap charts. In 1998, Heaven'z Movie, the first solo album by then group member Bizzy Bone, was released on October 6 1998 on Mo Thugs Records/Ruthless Records/Relativity Records. Though he never appeared on any previous Mo Thugs albums, his album was released under the label. The first single and video was "Thugz Cry", the second was "Nobody Can Stop Me"; the album went platinum. In 1999, many of the original artists left the label due to contract dilemmas, including Bizzy, who started his own label, 7 Sign Regime. Many lawsuits were started against Krayzie Bone, causing him to leave the label and start Thugline Records, leaving Mo Thug to Layzie and Flesh. Although his album, Thug Mentality 1999, was released on April 6 1999 on Mo Thugs Records/Ruthless Records/Relativity Records, he stopped repping Mo Thugs Records. He released two singles from the album, "Thug Mentality" and "Paper".

Layzie Bone is currently running Mo Thugs to this day and has released several underground projects, including Flesh-N-Bone’s second solo album. Krayzie Bone released his second solo album under the Thugline umbrella and has since signed many artists to the label, including Bone Thug member Wish Bone. Bizzy Bone also signed many artists to 7th Sign and is currently trying to get it off the ground. In 1999, imprisoned member Flesh-N-Bone released a compilation album under his label, Flesh Bone Incorporated.

New beginning

In 2003, After former band member Bizzy Bone left the group, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony left Ruthless Records and began a search for a new home. In May 2006, Bone signed a deal with Interscope through Swizz Beatz's Full Surface Records. The new album is called Strength And Loyalty and is set to be released on May 8 2007.

Bone 4 Life

In September 2005, DJ U-Neek released an internet-only enhanced CD called Bone 4 Life, featuring six new tracks produced by DJ U-Neek and a behind-the-scenes video. It was only available to order for a week.

Thug Stories

Thug Stories, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony's sixth album, was recorded by Koch Records and released in September 2006. It marked the first time Bone recorded as a trio for a full album, as troubled former member Bizzy Bone was finally ousted. This album was the group's first full-release since 2002's Thug World Order, and will be followed up shortly by an album on Swizz Beatz's Full Surface Records, tentatively called Strength and Loyalty. Thug Stories sold 38,000 in the first week, and peaked on number twenty-five in the Billboard 200. Thug Stories featured a slightly more mature style; with this album the group leaned more heavily towards its harmonic roots than its "thug" origins.

Strength and Loyalty

Bone Thugs' new album will be released on May 8 2007; producers include Akon, Jermaine Dupri. Guest appearances include The Game, Mariah Carey, Akon, Twista, and Chris Leeper. According to the group they have recorded nearly 100 tracks and are in the process of deciding which tracks will appear on the album. Although producer DJ-Uneek helped to launch the band to stardom, he does not appear on the album. According to the official track list issued by Interscope, imprisoned member Flesh-n-Bone will not be featured on the main track list, even though "Into the Future" (the song on which he is featured) will be available on certain editions of the album in the form of a bonus track (three versions of the album are rumored to be released, all with the same fourteen main tracks, with the variations occuring in the two bonus tracks on each version of the album).

A promotional single, "Just Vibe", has been released on the radio in Southern California. Bone says Bizzy Bone will not be on the album. Also says that this album will be their best ever. Swizz Beatz will produce one track, "Candy Paint", as the group signed in 2005 to Swizz Beatz' Full Surface Records, and in 2006 to Interscope Records. In March, the single "I Tried" featuring Akon was released. It is currently being played in many radio stations along with "Just Vibe" ,but "I Tried" is the official single and is also currently charting.

From 2006 to the present, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, especially Krayzie Bone, have continued their strong track record of collaborations and appearances on compilation albums. Krayzie appeared on Duets: The Final Chapter by The Notorious B.I.G, the soundtrack from the Antonio Banderas film Take the Lead, and on DJ Khaled's new album Listennn... The Album (all of these appearances were credited as Bone Thugs-n-Harmony on the track listings to show the loyalty of the group). Bone Thugs appeared with Lil Eazy-E on the soundtrack to The Game's acting debut in the film Waist Deep, and on The Source Presents Fat Tape Vol. 1. The most successful was Krayzie Bone's appearance on Chamillionaire's number-one single "Ridin'". Krayzie Bone is featured on the new 2Pac album Pac's Life on the song "Untouchable" (Swizz Beatz remix), credited as Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. Bone's new video "I Tried" was launched on March 7 2007.[1]

Forthcoming film

Bone Thugs-n-Harmony are preparing for a film they will be shooting; called "I Tried" it follows the events of Layzie, Krayzie and Wish if they have had never met Eazy-E. The film will feature Tiny Lister, Keyshia Cole and many more. It is due out in May.

Sales

Bone claims sales of over 35 million records worldwide. The RIAA has certified sales of twenty million records. Bone has referred to their own sales figures in the following lyrics:

• "After 30 million records and 7 years, ain't nothin' changed." (Layzie Bone - "Thug Music Plays On")
• "Who be the niggas that sold over 30 million strong..." (Krayzie Bone - "Bone, Bone, Bone")
• "I done sold over 30 million records" (Krayzie Bone - "Set It Straight")
• "Bone Thugs, little Layzie 30 million and counting, come on." (Layzie Bone - "Money, Money")
• "Show me no mercy mercy after 35 million still thirsty thirsty "(Layzie Bone - "Into The Future")

Legacy and collaborations

Perhaps the group's most important contribution to rap is their speedy, harmonizing flow. While fast rapping has always had a niche in the culture, Bone certainly brought the style to the forefront.

Although 1996 was the peak of their popular appeal, Bone still has a fairly large cult following. They are and will be the only artist in history to have collaborated with Big Pun, Notorious B.I.G., Eazy-E, and 2Pac.

In 2003, the group toured with the Insane Clown Posse, Tech N9ne, the Kottonmouth Kings, and Esham on the Wicked Wonka Tour. Once the tour was completed, a posse cut was recorded titled "Thug Pit". Bone Thugs have collaborated on songs with a host of rap artists and musicians.

Style and technique

Known mostly for their flow rather than lyricism, Bone's style and technique can be described as melodic yet dark and aggressive. Their flow is often interwoven at a high speed melodic pace or slow harmonic pace. They also tend to ride the beat that they're rapping over. Sometimes there are very few choruses separating their verses from one another. Usually all 4 or 5 members would rap between the choruses in very fast melodic intervals (e.g., tha crossroads, Dayz of our lives, and Everyday thang). In the beginning, circa Faces of Death, Bone used a pseudo-Jamaican patois delivery with their trademark style, though they rarely do this now.

Bone's subject matter has both spiritual and occult undertones. At first, their subject matter was almost always exclusively about violence and smoking marijuana. Today, however, their subject matter includes other topics such as urban socio-political issues.Besides minor changes to subject matter and sound, their lyrical style, locution, and overall methodology remain intact.

Trivia

• Bone Thugs-n-Harmony's most popular single, "Tha Crossroads", was covered by British boy band Blazin' Squad in 2002, and was a UK Singles Chart number one for a week and a half. (See List of Number 1 singles from the 2000s (UK).)
• According to Dresta, it was because of him that Bone Thugs-n-Harmony got signed to Ruthless. He says that Bone auditioned for him first and he liked their style so he got them backstage to audition for Eazy-E. However, Bone themselves strongly disagree with his claims.[2]
• Each member of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony has made solo albums except Wish Bone.
• In 1990 Layzie Bone was caught selling drugs, and was forced to live with his relatives in Texas.
