Should things all work out and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony do successfully secure a Tiny Desk booking, they’ll be following in the footsteps of some other Hip Hop greats, including Trina, Rakim, and — most recently — Juvenile, whose performance alongside Mannie Fresh last month brought some New Orleans bounce to NPR’s Tiny Desk.
The former Cash Money duo kicked things off with the intro to Juvie’s second Cash Money Records album, 1998’s 400 Degreez, and then went into a couple of other tracks from the multi-platinum LP including its title track and smash hit “Ha.” From there, the pair played “Set It Off,” “Slow Motion,” “Rodeo” and “I Need a Hot Girl.”

With a special appearance from John Batiste, the pair then closed things out with rambunctious renditions of “Project Bitch” and “Back That Azz Up,” which served as the first encore in Tiny Desk history.
As for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, they recently confirmed that they might be interested in a reunion if Dr. Dre gets on board with the idea.
Layzie Bone was a guest on The Digital Soapbox Network in an episode posted on Wednesday (July 5), where he discussed the topic of the group never getting on a Dre beat.
Despite their affiliation to the legendary producer through being signed to Eazy-E, he explained what prevented them from doing so in the past, and added that if Dre was to call right now then all five members would be right there.

“When the opportunity was presenting itself, we was internally fucked up,” Layzie Bone began. “And that n-gga Dre was like, ‘If I can’t have all five of y’all, I ain’t fucking wit y’all. And that was that. So hopefully one day hell get it. I know all of us individually tried. I mean, that’s Dre. Who don’t want a Dre beat? We all tried to go individually but the way the word got back to me was like, ‘Dre said if he can’t have all y’all, it’s no beat.”
At the suggestion Bone Thugs-N-Harmony get together with Dre now, Layzie said: “Wassup Dre? One call from Dre, watch how fast all five n-ggas get together. Let’s preach on that. I’ll drop everything I’m doing for an opportunity to work with Dr. Dre. I’m pretty sure my n-ggas feel the same way.”
