_Lowkey ft Mai Khalil - "Iraq2Chile"_ _Lowkey - "Terrorist" (Part 1)_ You and your father will love it brother❤️🤝 Also, _Immortal Technique ft AKIR - "One"_ Please react to all three brother🙏🏽 On your own time though of course. But please do brother❤️ Would really REALLY love to get your father's take on them. Tell him I say Hi and Salaam, from Cape Town, South Africa 🇿🇦❤️
For a young kid like you that wasn’t even close to be born around this time you do a good job of doing your research and breaking down to you dad certain key points. I’m 36 years old this song was a huge part of my childhood! Bone in general.
I cry every time I hear this song. Almost every black person got at least one person this song is dedicated to. Played after a funeral at least once. At least the ones I’ve been to. 🙌🏾✨❤️🔥
@@trillspilltx6628 Or Busta and Tech if we talking about people rapping fast from the 90s. But Bones flows and harmonies were one of a kind. Even people who weren’t a fan have to admit they are one of a kind. They paved the way for all this singing in rap nowadays. The first rapper to blow big copying they harmonic style was Nelly. Nelly be the first to admit it to. He tried to get signed to Mo thugs records but Layzie wasn’t interested apparently. Too bad because while not a fan of much he did after but Country Grammer was a masterpiece .Nelly got a classic album and most rappers can’t say that.
Kai man i love how emotional your father gets with music, the bond you two have is amazing bro. Cherish that man kai some of us grew up without one and he seems like the perfect father a kid could ask for, love you two, keep doing this you guys are great
I looove this song. Fact, this video to this song as a small kid intoduced me the concept of death in way that I could understand at the time that has always stuck with me throughout my life.
This! I was looking for a comment like this. It made it understandable as a small black child in the 90s… way more than anything I could grasp from like my grandparents or going to church.
Yes! I was like 5-6 when this came out. I wasn't scared of the man in the black jacket who touched the third eye to collect souls. I was intrigued by him. It was a comfortable answer to "what does it mean to 'die' ". My little brain could handle it lol
This track is so unique. Somewhat of a stream of consciousness from multiple people, different stages of grief being thrown around in each sentences. The chorus gives off an air of acceptance. Visceral get it off your chest music.
I used to not be able to listen to this song without crying after my boyfriend passed in "96, and it was played at his funeral along with Tupac's Life Goes On. Both great songs and packed with lots of meaning! Y'all are great. Detroit, MI here. Blessed Be & One Love!
Bone thugs are family friends of us. We grew up in a rough state, and then doing what they did meant a lot to us folks. Will love Bone 4eva. Never forget WISH, he was underrated. But bizzy and crazy really carried a lot. Maybe you can show him the music videos as well. That Midwest HIP HOP/RAP!
I used to be scared as hell of the music video as a child but once I grew up and lost my uncle who was my bestfriend… I gained a new appreciation for this song. Video and all
Omg. Same for me but with my dad. That music video terrified me - the ghosts walking up the mountain. But when my dad passed - he also loved that song - it changed everything. The song reminds me of him.
Should let daddy watch the video to Crossroads too, the video was ahead of its time for the period. The reaper making peoples eyes black still hits a nerve.
Bone thugs are great. 1st of the month, Thuggish Ruggish, etc they are an amazing group with some rather amazing songs. I'm glad that you guy have listened to them and are "adding" it to your mental libraries. Thanks as always.
I played this song, dear mama, and changes, on repeat for my mother who past away in 1994, and my father who I didn’t know but passed away in 1992. These songs got me through a lot of pain as a young kid, I was 9 when my father passed, 11 when my mom died, was playing these songs as a young teenager, with such grief. I’m 39, and still go to these songs as I did back then.
Glad to be born and raised with music like this being born in the ghetto this type of music was a part of my child hood that me and my parents listen today
It’s always nice when another generation can appreciate good music. A lot of people, myself included, tend to get stuck in a certain era as far as their personal taste go but classic music is timeless and has the ability to transcend boundaries.
This song was playing on the radio when I returned from summer camp as a kid and my mom told me my cousin died, so I am always taken to that moment when I hear this song. You should play Thug Luv, Notorious Thugs and Breakdown so that he can hear how other artists switched up their styles to accommodate them. Also, Days of Our Livez for a song of a similar tone.
I am a huge fan of Bone Thugs n Harmony. I have always liked the way they could incorporate harmonies in with their rapping skills. It brings an unique sound to hip hop. Now you need to have your dad react to Notorious Thugs with Biggie.
Growing up in Africa in the 90s I was really influenced by Bone. To this day their music is still a staple on my playlist. A great way to let the hours pass on long drives. Thanks for responding to our requests. You're doing a great job.
Dad calling bone thugs beautiful warms my heart!!! And all the subtle shit he picked up on after listening once was stellar, good job dad! Thanks guys, another banger reviewed, as always keep it up. Salute
I am biased, as I grew up in the 90's, but this decade was the best for music! I love seeing people discover it because it reminds me not to take these bars and these vocals for granted.
This was 👌 awesome!!!! Bone thugs are goated and KrayIe Bone is low key the best artist that can be put in the category of hiphop/rap yet he transcends those labels and should be recognized as a pure artist.
Krayzie Bone is already established as a pure artist,check out his latest album Krayzie Melodies.Bizzy Bone also released War Of Roses not so long ago and Flesh N Bone released To The Bone.Layzie Bone Eyez On The Prize with The Chemist is raw too check them all out Bone 4 Life yo.
@@Poeticfloetic deep voice, melodic flow. There was a period where the group as a whole was on a decline and everyone and their mama still had Krayzie doing guest verses because of how cool he sounds. His last huge guest verse was probably on Ridin Dirty
So glad you reacted to bone thugs. Thuggish Ruggish Bone is a gem too. Love seeing your dad’s growth, too cute. He’s describing songs with the right terminology in terms of flow and is able to relax and listen to the lyrics now. Cool cool
Dad is a Bone fan I can tell Show him: Foe Tha Love of Money + Thug Luv + Notorious Thugs These three songs alone cement their legacy and highlight how important BTNH was - and still is - to the evolution of rap music
i just discovered your channel a few days ago... what an amazing relationship you have with your dad man! i already finished all your videos.. like its amazing to share feelings and opinion about music with someone who really feels it! im so impressed from both of you! keep going!
There were five members and always five members. Flesh Bone who is Layzie’s Brother did some hard time after they dropped but they always tried to collab with him and supported him thru his entire stay. Flesh got out a long time ago now tho and they are back to 5 officially. I met Flesh the first year he got out and had a nice conversation with him too. He gave me a homie shoulder punch for knowing his stuff and it resonated with a lot.
IIRC Flesh missed the photo shoot for the EP so that's his face superimposed on the left side. Not sure why he's not on the cover of E. 1999 Eternal since he's all over the record.
Biggie had to switch his flow up after hearing BTNH drop their verses which spoke volumes to how different Bones' sound was. I think I watched an interview where Bizzy said they didnt get to hear Biggie's verse until after his passing. I would love to see this reaction. I love that song.
New fan to the channel 💪🏾 This how you destroy racism and not just listening but understanding the music is very dope!!! Good job kid and shout out to Dad!!!
You guys should get to the Bone tracks that they did with Pac and Biggie. The only group to do songs with both! It goes to show what kind of respect they had and still have.
Notorious Thugs is such a good track. Bizzy Bone did this entire verse in a single take (first take too) and it was so good after Biggy heard it he went and rewrote his entire verse because of how good it was.
Thank you for sharing this iconic song by Bone Thugz N Harmony. You have no idea how big this song was at the time. I've had some people pass away around that time, this song helped me get through the pain. I believe this song was number 1 for many weeks. Tha Crossroads won a Grammy for Best Rap perfromance by a Group. Bone Thugz is one of the greatest hip hop group of all time.
The line “Can somebody, anybody tell me why we die we die. I don’t wanna die…” always makes me tear up because this song dropped not too long before my mom passed away.
It's important to note that rap/hip hop before the proliferation of the internet and social media had very distinct regional sounds. Bone Thugs had a unique rapping style/sound and put the Midwest on the map in a time dominated by East Coast and West Coast rapping styles. You should listen to Notorious Thugs by Biggie ft /Bone Thugs and Breakdown by Mariah Carey ft Bone Thugs. Both Biggie and Mariah emulate/mimic the fast rapping style of Bone Thugs which was novel at the time.
I love how we all started tapping our feet and bobbing our heads at the same time a real vibe he guys are amazing beautiful song...one of my favorite songs....
I love how open your dad is to any type of music. I’m sure others have said this but for someone so young that hasn’t grown up with a lot of these artists & songs you do a damn good job explaining them to your dad. With Bone, they’ve said how Eazy-E saved their lives when he scooped them off the streets of Cleveland (Ohio) if it wasn’t for Eazy-E believing in them they’d be dead or in jail. For me growing up with these rap groups was amazing. I wish you had shown your dad the music video to tha crossroads because it makes me cry every time I see it! Knowing that Eazy-E’s death was so suspect and seeing him in the video just hits an emotional spot.
Layzie is my fav. The second rapper that was singing. Bone Thugs N Harmony is one of the groups I grew up on. LEGENDS IN HIP HOP! DISCOVERED BY THE ONE AND ONLY EAZY-E (HE DIED ON MY 5TH BIRTHDAY, ILL NEVER FORGET THAT) 🙏🏿🙏🏿🕊️🕊️💙💙
Bone are my fav artists of all time! Krayzie being my fav.. 🐐 period. They made me fall in love with music esp Tha Crossroads! I was 9 years old I'm now 35 and bigger fan then ever.
@@palehorserider1407 Yeah First of the Month was the first single off this album. But Tha Crossroads wasn't on it initially. My copy of the tape didn't have it.
What a nice aspect to share. How few people share their music let alone their interests with their parents. This is healthy for you and us. Thank you my brothers
I love this energy between the two of you!! It is so brilliant and thick with so much love and understanding I can feel it from here....brings tears to my eyes. Tears of joy...yes....so powerful it touches my soul. Thank you
The concept of “crossroads” is a major theme in black American music. It goes all the way back to the blues era & it comes from Black American hoodoo. A lot of the great black guitarist & other musicians are said to have sold their soul to papa legba at the crossroads to gain their talent. While that isn’t the theme for this song I thought it should be mentioned how African Spirituality travels through Black American culture even though due to slavery we have been so far removed from African culture.
Yes, “Crossroads” was performed by The Cream (Eric Clapton) and that was the first I knew of the song. but found out much later that it was originally written by Robert Johnson, and covered by a ton of musicians. I probably should have referenced that during the reaction. If I knew the deeper meaning once I had forgotten, so thanks for that! - Kai’s dad
My favorite album of all time. I'm late to the party, I just found your channel and your Dad is really open minded and even though it's rap he understands good music. Your Dad seems like a really good guy too, you both do lol. subbed
Dad i applaud your journey into this culture. But to Kai I want to say that as a hip-hop head, that’s been part of this culture since the very beginning, I’m very impressed and proud of the work that you put in and I love you have for the culture kudos to you young man
