FIRST TIME HEARING Bone Thugs N Harmony - Crossroads (REACTION!) 

This song was everywhere in 96. You couldn't go a day without hearing it somewhere.

Bone is one of the dopest rap groups ever. They completely changed the game.

This whole album is fantastic. Old school hip hop just hits different.

You should do "First of the Month" next from Bone Thugs

Bone thugs are the GOATs!!! You won't regret going down Bone's discography! Do their song Thuggish Ruggish Bone, Start there! 💯🔥🔥🔥

This is a remake of the original Crossroads, an they did it because they wanted to make the song a tribute to Eazy E. Eazy signed them to ruthless records and passed b4 their second album dropped. Almost 30 years later they still show him love on everything they put out.

Back in the day, you could burst out any line in this song and people would start singing along. This track was everywhere. Bone was goats for real.

How many rappers today have this type of lyrical talent?

They broke the mold with harmony rap lyrics! No group flowed like Bone!

Appreciate the outlook you have on us “oldies” it’s good to see the younger generation understand how our lives inspired the music of our times.

I was in middle school when this song came out and i remember the whole cafeteria sing the hook. It drove the administration crazy.

You had to be there in the 90s for this one, a true vibe of a song! Was all over the radio!

Bone Thugs and Harmony are legends, their reach is worldwide, even down here in Australia I was introduced to them and loved their sound so much I ordered the CD from the US. an era where the artists sang from the heart.

So many chills, so many tears. The intro scene at the funeral… when Death takes Uncle George playing checkers… seeing Eazy E on his way to Heaven… LEGENDARY!!! And it’s an amazing song too!

You're right. Past generations were more connected to life and valued life. It's very disheartening to see where things have gone.

What a great freaking song. Timeless

Im 43 feeling old as hell right now. Glad this music is making it to a new gen. Theres so much more good bone thugs out here. Art of war has some amazing tracks as well. They collabed with eazy, big and Pac.

****** WOW! Rappers That SING! THIS is Considered a MASTERPIECE. Enough to WIN a GRAMMY for " Best Rap Performance" in 1997! KRAYZIE BONE Has Been Clocked at being One of the TOP 3 FASTEST RAPPERS.

When you said this may be Rock n Roll....a lil part of my lime wire soul died 😂😂😂 #iykyk

yes that was Easy E. He signed this group to his label Ruthless Records the label NWA was signed before going their own way. Easy E died shortly after signing this group.

One of the best rap ensembles ever! First rap group with a Diamond certification (10,000,000+ albums sold. )Only rap group to do a song with both 2Pac and Biggie. Group is legendary.

This song brings me to my knees every time. everyone I have lost comes rushing back. Powerful words.

One of my favorite Bone songs, that I wish I heard more reactions to, is 'Down '71 (the Getaway)

As someone currently signed with Bone, just stopped by to say thanks for checkin' out the legends. Much luv, G. We appreciate ya!

The visual art involved with Videos that were broadcast on MTV back in the Day was and is TRUE ART

The lyrics back in the day told the real stories. Very powerful indeed. Loved the group...this video used to give me the chills.

Need more bone thugs!!!! 1st of the month , foe tha love of money , there are so many good songs they have

It's amazing to see young heads listen to and appreciate the music I grew up listening to in my early 20's. Introduced by Eazy E in 1994, Bone Thugs N Harmony hit the hit hop scene with a unique sound of their own.

I get chills every time I hear this.

Bone Thugs is one of the greatest rap groups of all time. Lots of bangers and hits throughout their catalog. Grammy winners. Headliners. Plus they showed they had lyrical ability. And then you throw in the harmonizin they do like no other..... awesome

BONETHUGSFAM4LIFE✊🏼

Boy, this track brings back some memories from around high school/college. We listened to this allll the time.

Bone Thugs N Harmony is hands down my favorite group and the most inspiring group I've ever listened to and it's real life they sing about and Krayzie Bone is my favorite Rapper his style and sound is truly unique and legendary. Bone Thugs N Harmony has songs out with Biggie, Tupac, and Big Pun along with countless others. I was 10yrs old when this song came out and it is dedicated to all those who we have lost in this world and will one day get to see each other again I love you Momma and until that day I'll see you at the Crossroads.

A rap group with a smooth sound and harmonizing was unheard of back then. There's a reason this video was played 2 to 3 times every hour on MTV.

Dopest hip hop group ever, idc what anyone says…..they were all straight 🔥 🔥 🔥 and changed the game for rap music

When this music video came out when I was a kid it scared the living hell out of me.

The reaction on this kids face is awesome when hears them start....love it

Excellent commentary on our times. We needed music like this to deal with life. Respect! 💯

That was the best reaction to the crossroads I've ever seen 😂

Yessssss I’m from Cleveland and everyone went wild. This song would come on the radio and me and my friends would get so excited. Whohoooo representing the C~town and Eazy too ❤❤❤❤❤

Bone was the transition into the new sound but also the exit of spiritual music. They changed the game but also we witnessed a revolution of spirit and music.

This song is actually "Tha Crossroads", not "Crossroads". "Crosswords" was on the original 1995 release, track 8, I believe. "Tha Crosswords" wasn't released until 1996, if memory serves, and replaced "Crossroads" on subsequent re-releases of E.1999 & Eternal.

This video is still so powerful to this day. BTNH = legends.

Ah man this song was played all the time back in the day. This one is my favorite song by them

This was my introduction to hip hop. I have since learned so much more about it, but as a young white teen in Des Moines, Iowa, I didn’t really have much exposure prior to Crossroads. As others mentioned this song was everywhere in 96. I ran out and bought E 1999 Eternal (made my parents mad, but they’ve since come around), and my life was literally forever changed. BTH are truly GOATs of GOATs.

Hi there. I think you need to go down the BTNH rabbit hole. BTNH are lyrical and harmonic beasts. Check out their Thuggish Roughish Bone, Mo Murda, No Surrender or Notorious Thugs (ft Biggie Smalls)songs. Just be warned that back in these days the gang and police brutality was really bad so they expressed a lot of hatred towards the police. I support the police now as an adult but I don't let that keep me from respecting their art. I get it This song didn't mean too much to me because my beliefs are different but I enjoy the flow of BTNH. They actually rap. No equipment. Just rap and they rap fast. Great reaction. First time I see someone who never heard of them but I know they're way before your time. Peace ✌️

Video still gives me chills after 28 years.

Yo lil bro, when this song came out we were still on pagers... lol.. phones with tone wouldn't be out for about 5 more years.. I was a HS junior when this track hit, about 16. My buddy died in a car accident, about 100 kids shut down that little road the next evening where he died and got tore up!! Drinkin, smokin, blasting this track on repeat, the cool part, instead of breaking it up thw cops coned off the street and let up mourn.. we didnt stop till the sun was up. One of the cops (Otis) that also did our school security actually brought us a handle of whisky and said some words and gave a pour for Jason before passing the bottle. Real Respect!

I haven't seen that video in forever and damn it hits so much harder now that I'm older.

Loved Bone Thugs since they came out in the 90’s and love the Midwest chopper style since I’m from the Midwest

I grew up listening to these men. They are my all-time favorite rap group. I still listen to them all the time! Yes that was Easy E. He gave them a platform to perform and they blew people out of the water. They changed the rap game. Listen to a few songs on all the early records. They're so good. ❤

Dude you gotta be like 5 years old to not have ever heard of Bone Thugs. People around the world know this song and this group. Legends. I'm am blown TF ova right now. Don't take it personal though. I just subscribed. Wanna see your journey. BTW Easy E brought these boyz on the scene. Good stuff homie

Bone Thugs are the bar, for other hip hop or Rap groups tbh. I can rap almost anything in Karaoke...except Bone Thugs. The speed of the cadence, the harmonies etc. Probably the most talented rap group ever. IMO.

Yo I remember living up in Juneau Alaska chokin blunts sippin 40s and Rollin down Eagan highway passing a 4 foot pipe between cars listening to bone thugs ,biggie ,pac ,eazy e ,mo thug family the time they came out with these beats. Thanks for bringing back those good memories bro

This song was everywhere 96 -2001

They still be doing live shows on occasion and Bizzy just dropped yet another solo a few weeks ago. My fav group since the 90’s

Love it!! That's my generation!❤❤❤❤❤

They're so underated...1 of the best groups of all time,the best...€azy € knew the game and sign BtNh...R.i.P €azy €(his the main "soul/ghost" in this video at the and much respect to you youngster who recognized him)

Times where different back then and music actually meant something be it rock, hip hop, r&b, metal. They all had something to say and a way to say it in their own way

Love Bone

Sitting on the edge of my seat awaiting your reaction…this is one of my all time favorite songs. ❤️❤️❤️

I hadn't heard this song in a long time, until the first part of this year. Had to pull it out for relection before going through kidney cancer surgery. Went back and had another listen when I came out the other side. Still here.

Man I was 4 years old when this came out. Never has a song touched me like this

My dear, that man was the Angel of Death.

Thought provoking and deep message. Again, fire!!

I 1st heard this song when i was 11 years old in 95, at a friend's house on tv walking past it stopping in my tracks and watched till the end to find out who they was and have been hooked ever since.

He represented the "hood" the hood takes, and the hood gives"!!!!!!! Reminded me of the 80's in northeast Portland OR. Rough!!!

An Unforgettable Song.

I remember back when I was younger I would watch this and be so scared, but like now that I am older I watch this and get emotional. Watch more of their interviews, you’ll understand the video a little better. I’ve always love BTNH ever since a little girl! ❤

This was the only song to displace the song first of the month which was champion for weeks in battle of the raps on radio station

I think a lot of 90s music was just a whole lot of awakening to the world around (as long as you don't look at the bubblegum MTV pop groups). Death, politics, and society in general. Gen X were furious and letting the world know.

This sweet summer child is in for a really, really fun ride 🔥

I was in high school when this came out and the thing I remember is that almost *everyone* loved hip hop back then! It was so relatable and humble and respectable. Unfortunately I can’t relate as much to newer hip hop artists. Of course it could just be because I’m old now, 😅 but like you’re saying I think it was so deep and meaningful back then.

Man, I was born and raised as a metalhead (still am). But Bone still plays pretty regularly in my house 🤷🏻‍♂️

I loved this song back in the day. It was everywhere even my mom loved it. 😂

I am 58 years old now but when i was young i loved that group.

Back when this came out, the genre was dominated by guys from SoCal and NYC and Atlanta was just starting to make waves, so this crew from Cleveland stepping into the mainstream, and it was mainstream, this song was a monster, definitely left some people shook.

Love seeing these youngens discovering the greatest of all time that is Bone Thugs n Harmony.

We did take life more serious back in the day.. that's why it's sad to see the way life is now! 90's were the LAST great decade! Life has gone down hill ever since!

This song always hits me. Whew. Definitely a classic

Bone thugs -n- harmony “I tried” my favorite song

My older step bother was a real G. He was murdered after this came out. Bone thugs was one of his favorites and so we dedicated "cross roads" to him in his celebration of life. The 90s was soul changing for me. This group brings chills everytime. MAY GOD BLESS ALL YA'LL BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE! 🙏🏼❤🙏🏼❤🙏🏼❤🙏🏼

This song gives me chills every time that I hear it, from the time it came out till now. RIP “Eazy E”.

Bone Thugs - GOATS

I’m 38 and I have seen Bone Thugs in concert a few times. I love them. Another great song they made was for the Set It Off soundtrack “Dayz of Our Lives” Check that out.

This was a huge number one smash on the Billboard hot 100 chart back then it was number for like eight straight weeks. Very rare for a rap song. I myself was a huge fan of bone thugs back then and got a big kick out of seeing them at number one in the hot 100 chart back then.

Im currently 19, but listen to a lot of older hip hop and always have. I remember seeing this music video many years ago, & almost crying to this shi bro. It’s crazy the emotions music can evoke, regardless of age

I grew up on the 90s Best music ever. This was on MTV all the time and like snows informer. They put the lyrics on screen.

Bone thugs n harmony ghetto cowboy. You gotta do this one.

Great commentary bro! Things were different back in the day I promise you. Everything was more from the heart whether you’re talking about music or sports. You can hear it in the music and see it in the sports. It’s all about the money now. And the Internet has really changed everything, back in the day you had to wait until the CD came out and go to work and make some money and then go buy it just to hear a song you liked and if your buddy got the CD first you passed it around all your friends and it ended up getting scratched to hell and back. Everybody was just more connected personally and like you said just more connected to the world and what’s going on everything wasn’t digital and on the screen it was real life. I wish you could experience it but I guess we can’t go backwards. Maybe we can learn and listen about the past to help us make a better future anyway. Like you said you were listening and picking up on some of the real SHXT they were talking about. Makes it all worth it after I was listening to this stuff when I was a teenager now I’m watching you younger than my kid listening to it and understanding why I liked it. Some old white guy. Connection with the past definitely helps ground you. Appreciate you doing these videos. Someday they’ll realize we’re all the same!

Wow Bone thugs and harmony ❤ are the best 💞

I didn’t even know English and I still used to listen to this song. Not too many people know about The Box Music Television You Control, they played hardcore rap on that channel.

I'm 41. This group I listened to all the time smoking weed in HS. lol, man I'm old.

I had a friend introduce me to Bone, and we spent all that weekend listening to them and watching Friday on repeat 😂😊

hip hop lyrics of the 80s and 90s told of their stories of their everyday lives, and made it dope

Every time I see that video, all the takes get to me but the baby gets to me the most

The triplet flows🙌 this song is forever on my playlists

The science of music is always a fascinating topic.... listening to them talk about what doesnt work or shouldnt work when discussing one of the biggest records of the 90s lol.

Damn - ain’t heard this joint in a minute. Brought tears to my eyes.

Eazy E discovered these guys and signed them to his label Ruthless Records. Bone thugs did this song for Eazy after he passed as a tribute to him. The Angel of death takes the souls of those who passed. Great song and one of the greatest rappers of all time
