With a new special edition Rolling Stone magazine issue listing the publication’s “100 Greatest Hip-Hop Songs” ever last month, Bone thugs-n-harmony rapper Layzie Bone recently took to Facebook to complain about the Cleveland group not being included in the feature.
“You mean to tell me not one Bone song made there roster. SMH,” Layzie wrote on his Facebook wall.
Read the Bone thugs rapper’s full Facebook post below:
“#RollingStone releases new issue ‘The 100 Greatest Hip-Hop songs’ you mean to tell me not one Bone song made there roster. SMH. First rap group with a Grammy. Over 50 mil sold worldwide and, we contributed a style and harmony that changed hip hop 4eva. They trying to sweep me and my Niggaz under the rug huh. Erase us from history. Nah fuck that and fuck #RollingStone I’m heated #BoneThugsNHarmony #Eternal we still selling out shows 20+ years and counting. BITCHES”
Last year, Layzie spoke with HipHopDX about the Bone thugs-n-harmony legacy and going out on his own as a solo artist. Answering a question about one of the group’s most popular songs, “Tha Crossroads,” Layzie said, “It don’t ever get old.”
“It’s just like putting on Michael Jackson ‘Thriller‘ or ‘Beat It.’ It’s a classic, and classics never get old. It the simple fact that in time everyone is gonna always experience death or loss in their life, and it’s gonna be played at a funeral. Plus it sounds good, and it’s a heal-the-heart song. It can never get old…We lost one of our Bone members, Wally, and that song took on a couple of versions. We lost Boo, and some other crew members, and we made the song. Then after that, we remixed it once Eazy-E died. It was just like as we were being so blessed, we took a lot of losses too.”

Yeah I feel L Bone to leave Cross roads off that list is a big fuck up on Rolling Stone’s part
tru dat cuz
There’s so many songs that should make the list from better Hip Hop artists before Crossroads. These dudes aren’t relevant anymore and if any of their songs should make the list it would be Notorious Thugs.
take your own advice (*referring to your name)
“These dudes aren’t relevant anymore” Why does that matter? I’m pretty sure that list has others that “aren’t relevant amymore” either.
Bone Thugs def should have had Tha Crossroads and First of the month on there. But who cares. Rolling Stone has been a joke for years.
Aslong as there is no songs after 2005 on the list then I’m ok.
they are on the list crossroads is #95 i have the issue with me… he’s trippin but the list did have some questionable song that should be no where near 100
for a group trying to get INDUCTED in the ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME, he killed those ‘chances’, as those he badmouthed at ROLLING STONE Magazine are in charge of the Nominating Committee! You CAN’T argue what others ‘like’, you can’t argue with others’ choices’, THAT’S THEIR CHOICES……
Rolling Stone has been on that bullsh*t. They gave Zeppellin 2 a 3 out of 5 stars. So you think they’re gonna care about 100 songs for hip hop.
I was going to mention Led Zeppellin! When LZ came out they was straight up hating on LZ bc they were new and fresh they didn’t understand what was going on. They even got a lot of bad rep for that back then and to this day they do.
F*** Rolling stone
Rolling stone has never been an authority. I understand why he’d be upset if this was true, cause they were kinda bigger than hip hop
Bone Thugs is good. But Wu-tang is forever.
Damn, that is some bullshit. Not one Bone song? Easily, two anthems should have been on there- ‘Crossroads’ and ‘1st of Tha Month’. Weak shit by rOLLING sTONE
Dear Support,
This can’t be happening. Bone Thugs and Harmony desurves to be in the list. They have made outstanding hip hop for the world to listen. They should be on the list!!
They changed hip hop for ever with their unique sound.
