Who invented the Bone Thugs sound?

[How Sway?]

I do think krayzie & bizzy swiped a few melodies off of freestyle fellowship's "mary" song but that's pretty much it.

other than that, bone already had their style when they were stuck in Cleveland.




twista didn't invent anything.

all he did was rap fast, and that was going on before him.

actually bone influenced twista. he started adding melodic hooks after bone blew up.

how did Bone influence Twista when there's a million and 1 nikkas from the WestSide of CHicago who rap the same way or similar to twista......

I was referring to the change in twista's style.

but apparently twista swiped that off some other niccas.

Dont get me wrong, i respect fellowship. Dem boys was slept on. But bone aint build a 20 plus multiplatinum career off of fellowship's mary.

The only one i hear in mary is a little krayzie, and thats because he was the hook man and dealt with the melodies. What about the rap flow though? All this is mute though, because the both derived from jazz staccato.

Before they met eazy or went to LA..this is he rapped over the phone when eazy called him in Cleveland

Demonic? Lol.

Forgot I ever wrote this post. I prolly meant it in jest. Cudi is one of my top artists of all time, love his music.

Freestyle Fellowship fathered Bone's flow. Everyone should be familiar with their work and Aceyalone's work as a solo artist. They're probably the most underappreciated group in hip-hop history. Examples...

I would say since Myka 9 did most of the actual singing and melodies on there, you can trace a good portion of that style to him (I forgot the other 2 members ). Aceyalone does very little harmonizing, except on that track "Mary" where it's evident at the end of his verse. On his solo albums, he seldom sings at all, mostly raps.
However, being from the West Coast myself, they use a LOT of lazy-tails in the delivery.
In contrast, all the members of BT&H use more vibrato in their vocal parts.
There are regional differences if users were more musically educated, and actively listen for the distinctions.

Even then, BT&H had a ton of legato and really seamless transition with their deliveries and how they "group harmonize" all their melody lines. On the flows part of it, it sounds like their cadences "continually link" at some points in songs.

Both groups styles are nearly polar opposites in approach. I'd say the closest they sound similar, has to be in tempo they choose to pick out to flow over beats. BT&H had an early West Coast influence, but that was more production than anything else.
Soon they evolved and had their own sound.

no one cared about Bone until Rocky brought that shyt back, removed the high pitch bullshyt and completely outdid them. Turned a corny flow into brilliance. Bone quickly fell into irrelevance again as expected.
