How are Bone Thugs so irrelevant?

[DallasTxRep]

the only people that still listens to BT are white trash females in their 30s

FALSE.....

They still sell out shows as a collective. But they ruined alot of their reputation in terms of the inner turmoil within the group. Between Flesh getting locked up, Bizzy not showing up for appearances for 15 years, Going to venues or shows and you getting 3 bone thug members instead of 4 or 5. Plus they didn't handle their business proper so its one of these cases where their thriving off a cult following and a brand.

They can still spit, I just wish they can revisit that old sound for at least one more album

A move to Strange Music would suit them well

They should be eating is this error just dumb down they lyrics and they in.

Every artist doesn’t last forever. Unlike some of the artist you named they don’t have any recent hits or features.

 

[Suzie]

They are no more irrelevant than any other rappers in their generation.
They are legends, the rap equivalent of The Temptations to me, if you grew up at the time you know this, if you are too young to know it, its cool, but if you ever look at the history of the game their legacy can't be denied.

I think you went too far with that Temptations comparison

i could picture it


I've was influenced heavily by Bone Thugs classic material. Flows? Don't get me started. "Swag" lyrics, conscious, street stuff, they were well rounded.

As someone else mentioned though, their business was handled terribly, Ruthless was independent and Eazy E's wife didn't take a liking to them...

Still one of the all time greats in my eyes in terms of innovation.

Asap Yams tried to shine a light on a lot of things and people give him credit because hes dead and its trendy but I wish he’d get more props for his knowledge of culture.

He knew a fukk load about sometimes obscure and regional rap at a time when it wasnt always as accesible.

Yams was a big Tragedy Khadafi fan. and he was always posting obscure rappers. he put me onto this rapper this older dude Rast RFC from NY, his parents were black panthers but he got caught up in the streets and was apart of a graffiti crew called Running From Cops, here’s a cool write up on him

be wrong as fukk, Rocky’s flow is Bone Thugs man and he got his double time flow inspiration from Bone Thugs and like others have said ASAP tried and has exposed Bone to the younger gen of kids who don’t know shyt about them

I honestly don't even think people like Wu like that
If anything it's the logo

Breh it's the east coast/NY bias on here that's all. I'm just like you, I don't know anyone who fukks with wu or knows any of thier songs like that. Meanwhile teens love first of the month, I tried, for the love of money etc
