Not sure that beef ever happen BTNH would have ripped Nelly apart. BTNH beef with like 6 groups at one time so it
BTNH vs 6 groups and Bone thugs N Harmony came out on top of it.
I can see layzie saying that to Nelly, as a bone fan if you know them then you know layzie stays drunk a lot up until this
day, the other members clean up there act layzie didn’t. Layzie prob should have been honored that people wanted to sound like them
even though this happend Nelly still says Bone thugs influence him.
Really dope piece Justin we need more like these. I’m from chicago and its hard to say it but Bone thugs n harmony
won those battles easily. But it is interesting to think what if they never responded to any of those groups, what direction would they have went in what would that 3rd album be like.
Thank you. I think if you cut most of the Clone stuff from Art Of War, cut the project to 13 or 16 tracks, you have classic. The production is really great on there.
If Eazy was alive he most likely would have advised Bone thugs to maybe drop one song and move on, I felt like they spent too
much time dissing people and worrying about styles in bitting.
I always felt like most of those groups and rappers dissed btnh because they knew it would give them publicity
at this time in the mid 90’s Bone thugs with maybe the exception of Big and Pac, Bone was the hottest in hip hop.
Do or die just came out of left field dissing Bone it came from nowhere, they didnt diss bone in 94 when creeping on the come up came out, but like 2 years later when Bone was at the height of their success. People never bring this up but I think dissing Bone
was partly a publicity stunt.
Hmm maybe so, I always thought it was a shot a tomica wright. Maybe your right tho. But he did take shots at tomica on
that Heavenz Movie album. That entire 2nd verse on thugs cry was a diss to tomica, crazy to think about a artist dissing his CEO. Also good stuff Justin we need more like this bro.
The Craziest thing about Bone Thug is they are probably the best rap group ever in terms of catalog, classic songs, features, style,
the fact that they’re still together up until this day doing shows together with no issues at all. With all that said with them being the best rap group of all time, they never reached their full potential.
“with no issues at all”. bruh every other year one or two of the members leave because of tension and then return again a few years later. for example, bizzy wasn’t part of the group for most of the 2000s, and krayzie and wish both left the group in 2013 for a while
Krayzie left in 2010 he announce he was done but return to the group like 3 months later. Wish at no time has ever left the group
wish is the only member to have never quit or walk away from the group he just defended krayzie for stepping away. I’m a huge Bone thugs fan I keep up with what goes on with them, they have been pretty much drama free since like 2011. Even Bizzy has been with the group consistently since 2011.
Maybe they shouldnt have focused on retaliation so much. On the other hand the beefs from the 90’s pushed artist to come harder. Shit is too bubblegum now. We all know life isnt so flashy and fulfilling for most of us. Maybe if todays artist fought for originality and authenticity we wouldnt have the radio waves filled with songs that sound the same as the next.
Justin thanks for the video. BTNH is easily my favorite group. Why don’t they get more coverage when they drop an album or a song? i know that the last album was exclusively through HHDX. it seems like HHDX is the only one to follow their moves. Are BTNH black balled in the industry? i don’t hear many artists today giving them props with the exception of like wiz khalifa, MGK and a couple others here and there.
also, when drake came out with the line about how he is the first/best to rap and sing, i thought Bone was the first today combine rapping and singing.
More artist have given them props in recent years, Not just wiz, mgk, but people like freddie gibbs, trae the truth, Fat joe, asap mob, Mariah Carey also mention on 106 and park once they she likes to use bone’s style you can find old interviews of lil wayne saying the reason he grew his hair was because of Bone thugs. No one follows their new moves because of Bone lack of inability to promote their new stuff, they simple don’t care to push their new projects anymore because they are living off of their old classic stuff. Layzie tries hard to push his stuff but no one outside of Bone fans take him serious too drunk and high all the time, Bizzy is just not that good anymore I can’t remember the last time he has had a good verse, Krayzie has some amazing songs he plays them on his perioscope but he never puts those songs out, he has dope music but he’s doing nothing with it. Ctd wasnt good at all. Also they need to go on sway, breakfast club every once and a while and drop one good song put video on worldstar.
Thanks for the comment, Tom. They’re definitely not blackballed. I know that for a fact. Different publications have different audiences they focus on. That’s probably the biggest thing. For the rest, I agree with Justo, except for Chasing The Devil. It didn’t meet the hype and anticipation, but it’s still one of the better solo offerings in group history. Rise Of A King is amazing.
I love rise of a king it was dope but too short. I just feel like the production was lacking. I think it sounded just a little outdated
I would love to hear him on some nipsey hussle, freedie gibbs type beats. Bone Dj Poziton makes some extremely dope beats
he plays them sometimes on his instagram, I think he produced krayzie bone song called future that was dope. They also use to work with a guy named thin c who made nice tracks for them That song future should have had a video to it, he also put out a song called vanilla lights that was really dope once again tho no video no push. But the main thing I’ve never understood is why does Krayzie Bone hold on to his music, the stuff of he plays when hes on periscope is way better than ctd. I hope he scraps the ctd concept. Kray should be dropping a ep like every 6 months he could do it I dont know whats stopping him from releasing those dope songs he has.
This was a good video, a breath of fresh air fom the usual tripe on this site like Lil yatchy, Lil uzi vert etc. But seriously doe, is this justin hunte dude slightly autistic or some shit?
At the same time a lot of people don’t really know that Bone vs Memphis goes deeper than what people know. If you have a chance
go back and look at a interview that lil Eazy E did with steve lobel, Bone thugs beat up a group from memphis in LA, this group was suppose to be on Ruthless Records also. It was rumored for years that one of the member in that group was related to 3-6 mafia. this was rumored to have happen why Bone thugs was recording Creeping on tha come up.
Do or die made a huge mistake by dissing bone thugs n harmony, do or die would have sold more records and been more likeable and marketable without the bone disses. They came off as bitter and haters for dissing bone for no reason. Crucial conflict was cool too but they only had one decent album. Twista came off as a hater also as if he wanted the world to know he rap faster than bone and thought he should have been getting the same attention as they got, he had a fierce flow but wasnt a good song maker and rapped a the same pace all the time. 3-6 was dope they had really good production and they could put together bangers, DJ paul is one of the most underrated producers in hip hop. When Crucial conflict name is brought up people or like who??? Do or Die it’s like oh those dudes that dissed Bone, Twista that guy that raps really fast, 3-6 has a good legacy and it’s not built on dissing Bone they are consider one the Dopest rap groups to do it. When you bring up Bone thugs they’re considered one of the most legendary music groups of all time, and most likely the greatest rap group ever.
Man this brings back memories. I remember all this and loved all the groups…Bone…Triple 6…Twista and Speed Knot…Crucial Conflic…Do or Die all of them. All beefs and NO deaths!! Glad all of them squashed it and made some good music together. I loved the fact that they squashed all that. That was the Midsouth sound at the time and Triple 6 had a different twist on it…they all did as a matter of fact.
Beat wise slow rolling baselines Erie synths , flow wise the whole rap game sound like the Midwest/South, if anybody hip to a rapper name Yung Stone from Cleveland he started the trap sound content/lyrics before T.I. & Jeezy he came out like 2001
Man , love this piece and after the idea Of Nelly sounding like bone come out I went back played that shit and yeah Mad similarities… and yeah I wonder if Eazy E was alive where they would have ended.
I don’t remember Bone thugs beefing with nelly, even though nelly use their style he would often say they influence him
in interviews.
Wait Bone never beef with Nelly did they?? Nelly didnt come out untill like 2000’s by then all of Bones beefs had ended.
Not sure that beef ever happen BTNH would have ripped Nelly apart. BTNH beef with like 6 groups at one time so it
BTNH vs 6 groups and Bone thugs N Harmony came out on top of it.
Great video, I loved it
Thank you, Roger.
I can see layzie saying that to Nelly, as a bone fan if you know them then you know layzie stays drunk a lot up until this
day, the other members clean up there act layzie didn’t. Layzie prob should have been honored that people wanted to sound like them
even though this happend Nelly still says Bone thugs influence him.
Agreed… sadly.

Thank you. I think if you cut most of the Clone stuff from Art Of War, cut the project to 13 or 16 tracks, you have classic. The production is really great on there.
Bone taking on 10 groups at one time legendary!!
If Eazy was alive he most likely would have advised Bone thugs to maybe drop one song and move on, I felt like they spent too
much time dissing people and worrying about styles in bitting.
I believe that too, personally.
I always felt like most of those groups and rappers dissed btnh because they knew it would give them publicity

was partly a publicity stunt.
I wonder where Bone would be if they didn’t spend so much time talking about clones on Art Of War.
bone thugs n harmony greatest rap group ever period
I don’t think Bizzy was dissing Gansta boo on that verse imo.
Definitely dissing Gangsta Boo. “Better act a bit feminine / Take the fatigues off / Fuck the club / Even the 6 it’s hellish.”
Hmm maybe so, I always thought it was a shot a tomica wright. Maybe your right tho. But he did take shots at tomica on
that Heavenz Movie album. That entire 2nd verse on thugs cry was a diss to tomica, crazy to think about a artist dissing his CEO. Also good stuff Justin we need more like this bro.
Thanks, Pat. I appreciate that. They had zero love for tomica by Art Of War. That got real ugly real quick.
Krazy disses Tomica Wright on the Crossroads too.
Layzie bone and ak from do or die have a joint album
Bone and twista make dope tracks. We aint no hoes from twista album features bone thugs, and C town from bone thugs
album features twista.
That do or die diss to btnh was tuff I still remember first time I heard it, but it didn’t have any of effect on bone they were
too hot and popular.

100% agree with you.
That was a great video, I’ve been a bone fan forever and it was great to get some background on their moves over the years.
Thanks for checking out the video, Chris.
great video
Thug World Order had some Layzie subliminals to Nelly on it
Which tracks?
Keep these videos up, good to hear about the history of real hip hop. All the fake stuff in the pop rap industry is getting old.
Thanks ROD.
NICE!

Man, TWIII got a spot on DX!?! Memphis was strangely united at that short time, a common enemy I guess. Props to Justin for not leaving that out!
At the same time a lot of people don’t really know that Bone vs Memphis goes deeper than what people know. If you have a chance

Bone should do a prequel album, East 1999 the prequel or creeping on tha come up the prequel.
That would be dope it would give them a reason and excuse to talk that thuggish sh-t lol.
Thats funny that krayzie bone never heard of Tommy Wright, and Tommy prob made himself a local legend.
BTNH should have never responded to any of these disses
Do or die made a huge mistake by dissing bone thugs n harmony, do or die would have sold more records and been more likeable and marketable without the bone disses.

You fotgot to mention Bone vs Triple 6 vs Psycho Drama
Man , love this piece and after the idea Of Nelly sounding like bone come out I went back played that shit and yeah Mad similarities… and yeah I wonder if Eazy E was alive where they would have ended.
