Krayzie Bone offers an update on the status of Bone thugs-n-harmony’s $1 million album.
According to Krayzie Bone, the idea for a $1 million album from Bone thugs-n-harmony has been shelved for the time being. While speaking with Vlad TV, the Bone thugs lyricist revealed that the announcement of such an album caused a minor uproar among fans, who “flipped the hell out” because of the hefty price tag.
Krayzie Bone did explain that the idea isn’t fully off the table, and added that they are currently looking at other options.
“We kinda backed off of that because our fans is real sensitive,” Krayzie Bone said. “And our fans flipped the hell out. They was like ‘What you mean you gon’ charge us a million dollars for your album?’ I’m like ‘Y’all don’t even understand what we saying right now.’ So, we just—We kinda backed up off of it. It’s still an option on the table, but we looking at other options as well…Still thinking about how to make it work in a much more effective way…We basically telling them ‘Okay, you own it for whatever you paid it for. And you can go and sell the album for whatever you want to sell it for to make your money.”
In 2014, Krayzie Bone spoke exclusively with HipHopDX about the prospective album, which he says was inspired by Wu-Tang Clan.
“When I heard about what [Wu-Tang Clan] was doing—and I think it was you who told me about it—I just thought it was a brilliant and genius idea,” Krayzie Bone said while speaking with HipHopDX. “I thought to myself, ‘It’s not that many groups that can do something like this and have major results from it—Wu-Tang being one and us another.’ I took it back to my dudes and they thought it was a [great] idea.”
During his interview with Vlad TV, Krayzie Bone revealed that with the exception of Wish Bone, every member of Bone thugs-n-harmony has taken a temporary break from the group.
“Everybody always knew that it’s a revolving door,” he said. “Whenever you get off of whatever you’re on, come on back home. Bottom line. And that’s just how it always been…That why’s we still here. And everybody still in contact with each other. Bizzy, him and his wife coming over to my house for dinner tonight. So, we still in contact, for real. Definitely family…We bonded ourselves together at the beginning. And that’s just how it’s gon’ play out, for real.”

Who would spend $1 Million on a Bone thugs-n-harmony Album
Me.
You are a damn liar!
Martin Shkreli will.
There are five members. If ten people buy it, assuming only half of the profits are taxed and middle manned by distributors, each would still make a million. They were pretty popular in the ’90s and have managed to stay relatively relevant musically throughout the years. More so than most who were around back then. Granted that they haven’t had a radio hit since 2007, or an album since 2010, I’m sure they have some fans left, maybe a few who would put the money up just for the novelty value of saying they have heard the million dollar album.
He would. Trust me.
I fuck with them soooooooooooooo much more than wu
Shelved cos they came to their fucking senses and realised no one on this damn planet would ever pay anything close ti a million dollars for a Bone Thugs album, FOH
I agree wit GHG bout that and the fact he molested his niece is wrong str8 up ok he could have at least molested the neighbors kid or the blind retard girl up the street
And vo burns its one thing to be fan or even a Stan but to have all those c*cks in your mouth is too much damn I bet you wish it was you he molested
Personally, I’m not out to hear Bone in 2016, so the fact that I could never afford to even hear the material doesn’t matter to me. I say go for it.
It isn’t worth $1 million. I couldn’t find another idiot like myself to buy it if I did. What millionaire will say “Yeah, I will invest $1 million bucks on BTH album” .”Krayzie told me I could sell it for what I wanted”.
Nah they ruined it by being high or drunk passed out in the hotel room flaking out in the few real concert producers out there, that’s why they went from areans to raves in Wisconsin & small venues, its not a business you can fuck off peoples money for long plus it lets fans down expecting all members when only a few show. But they are legends their catalouge will never die but 1 Milly 5 ways after taxes is a pretty hard fall
How Bone Thugs Ruined their Careers:
1) They save the best lyrics and effort for their Solo albums. (Bizzy has previously confirmed this)
2) The albums sound and appear rushed. They announce an album 1 year in advance and put out a product recorded over the course of a week.
3) They aim for 1 lead single and since E1999, once they get that lead single, they are done in the effort.
4) No name producers, DJ Uneek backed them in the early days, but who’s all these no name new booti’s they keep using?
5) Each member thinks they are bigger then life, to many ego’s and they are fading their own legacy.
