Free Music Notes for E 1999 Eternal
Free Music Review: Difinitive Rap Album of the early 90s
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of the best albums of the 1990s, and along with Wu-Tang's 36 Chambers album, the best that gangster rap had to offer in the early-mid 90s.
With their aggresive lyrics, yet harmonious beats, the style of Bone is unique and never duplicated. This is a perfect album from start to finish.
Free Music Review: Hits From Beginning To End
Hit: 5 Stars
Second official release from Bone Thugs - this did not disappoint from the smash hit 1st Of Tha Month to the darkly infectious Mo' Murda - this album one of the few you can play from beginning to end without touching it - something you just don't see nowadays. This album is a must for any rap/hip-hop collection pick it up if you don't already have it.Free Music Review: A superb album from an amazing group of youngsters from Clevland
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm going to make this short and sweet. Bone Thugs N' Harmony know what they are doing with there skills, they are simply amazing. They(just like DAS EFX)Have a unique rapping/voice of there own consisting of 4 very talented MC's(Layzie, Krayzie, Wishbone, n Bizzie Bone)who all sound and rap in there own crazy unique kind of way. And the production they bring in here is just simply I-L-L! I donno who they got to produce these beats but whoever they got is extreamly talented and knows wth hes doing. Let me just get this shiznizzle over with.

Free Music Review: Notorious thugs
Hit: 5 Stars
This album was one of the first rap albums that I ever attached myself to. At age 14, I had a new group of best friends that listened to Bone nearly all day. Their older brothers and cousins had introduced them, and so I was introduced second hand. "Mr. Bill Collector" and especially "Notorious Thugz" were songs that I came to hear everyday, along with the whole cannon of Bone albums and occasionally some of the group's solo albums (which nearly always lack something that the group has when together).
Something that always attracted me to Bone was their obliviousness to the trends that populated the rap scene. This album sounds alot like it's peers--Biggie Smalls and Twista are noteworthy--but at the same time holds something that the other didn't, as if the Cleveland boys new something that the east and west coasters' didn't. Bizzy Bone's 2005 release, Speaking in Tongues, is a good indicator of this, as is some of Mo Thugs collective work. But now I'm getting off the subject.
The production is tight and never does it protrude so as to eclipse the lyrics. The rhymes themselves are interesting, if not sometimes confusing. Bone (especially Bizzy) is obsessed with apocalyptic imagery; skulls, hellfire and angels work their way into nearly every song on this album. "Crept And We Came" is a good example: "Ready be off 'em in a coffin, and a all'll be sprayed. Follow the murderous gauge. Follow me murderous ways." The high pitched synth line works well with the piano hook here, as it does on nearly every track that Bone has done. If anything can be said of them, it would definitely be that they work well with string instruments. Shouting out to their homies, or puttin' a shotgun to your chest--it's all encompassed by a somewhat ethnic sense of style. Maybe Bizzy isn't crazy; maybe they do have spiritual connections.
"Tha Crossroads" (which replaced the far inferior "Crossroad", after the former won an Emmy) is the most recognized track on the album, sans "1st Of Tha Month", and shows just how deserving they are of title of "Harmony". "1st of Tha Month" quickly became the summer anthem after the album's release, and is still wildly popular in some parts of the country (hell, even I hear it on the radio from time to time). "Buddha Lovaz" was a fan favorite for years, and was even given the Screw treatment from DJ Screw himself, prior to his death. I'm not sure if it's because of the content, but the song actually sounds better screwed up--something that Bone obviously recognized and favored, as they heralded the release of their Greatest Hits, remixed by Michael "5000" Watts, in 2005. While I do admit that the album gets a bit flimsy towards the end, it wouldn't be the same without "Mo Murda" and it's insanely catchy low-pitch chorus. This itself has been used by other artists, most notably Juicy J (of Three 6 Mafia) on his album Chronicles of the Juiceman.
Sadly, this debut album was the strongest thing to come out of their original incarnation. Art of War suffered from bad editing (it didn't need to span 2 discs), and Resurrection needn't even be associated with the Mo Thugs label. Thug World Order has some damn fine tracks (and an appearance from Phil Collins), but still lacks the personality and unforgiving brutality that E. '99 has. With a new Bone album supposedly coming out in the next two weeks, I'm going to be crossing my fingers and hoping that I feel this fire once again.

I can't believe it took me this long to buy this CD. I give mad props to DJ U-Neek I'm just infatuated with these beats. The Ruthless Bone Thugs!!!
