Only a person who doesn’t understand real hip hop would disagree with me when I say that the East 1999 Eternal album by Cleveland’s Bone Thugs N Harmony was one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. There are very few Hip Hop albums that I can listen to from start and finish and from finish to start without skipping any tracks and East 1999 Eternal is one of them. They had the HARDEST INTRO on this album that I heard on any rap album to date.

I really wish we can go back to making real hip instead of the watered down commercial BS that we hear today. I don’t wanna hear about your parties and jewelry…I wanna hear about real life problems, real life struggles, real life come ups and real life break ups!!!!!!

I love BTNH not because I grew up on East 99th Street in Cleveland but because BTNH really captured the heart of the city through their music. My favorite memory is watching the “Thuggish Ruggish Bone” video and seeing all of the people from my neighborhood reppin in the video. Hell I still listen to “Creepin On A Come Up” album like it just came out. BTNH has returned to the scene with all 5 members and ready to blow your minds once again. Here are some of my favorite tracks from the East 1999 album.

BTNH – Mo Murda

BTNH – East 1999

BTNH – Mr. Bill Collector

BTNH – Land of The Heartless

Reppin CLEVELAND..MY HOMETOWN!!!! NOBODY CAN RIP IT LIKE KRAYZIE!! Watch Krayzie Bone freestyle on a radio show in Amsterdam!! Can’t wait for the new album!!

Layzie, Krayzie, Flesh, Wish, and Bizzy are back and about to go full force in the rap game. Last night the Cleveland based group, Bone Thugs N Harmony, held a press release regarding all five members of the group reuniting to do a hot new album. Flesh, who recently got out of jail, stated that he was glad to be back in the group and that he will be releasing a solo album after the groups album is released. Flesh states that when he failed he let everybody down and now that he is back he has a lot to prove and he will deliver. I think I was surprised the most at seeing Bizzy back with the crew after his separation from the group but as Bizzy said they are a group that eats and breathes music so they will make music that will prevail years from now. Layzie did most of the talking for the group stating that there will not be many feature albums on the album because they want to focus on the group reuniting and bringing something different to the hip hop scene. Krayzie said that all the material on the new album will be new material and not anything that they have written and put to the side as they are different men now and as they grow then so should the lyrics and sound of their album. As a native of Cleveland I truly look up to these guys because they representing my hood. I actually grew up on East 99th in St.Clair so it’s good to see them come from out the gutter and be in the place that they are today.
