I empty, me scan-dalous niggas are pon de loose/ “I'm an enemy, even up the barrels of me 12-gauge/ While it’s starting to sound a little repetitive, they still manage to make each song enjoyable for the listeners. These guys set out to talk about street life in Cleveland/LA which they do, track after track. For those of us who follow along, the guns, shootings and weed themes are prevalent. It works for them, although for some it may be a little hard to understand. Bone Thugs are known for their super fast paced delivery. It starts off so calm with another intro by Layzie before the tempo picks up on both the beat and the rapping. “Cleveland is the city where we come from so run run runĮast east nineteen ninety ninety nine nine nine nine”.Īlthough it remains simple with the repetition of two different lines, I love the way it sounds and of course it fits the track title and the content. The outro is my favorite part when they say: They really perfected harmonization and of course stayed true to the killing, the glocks and of course the streets. This is also one track that features all five members and although their styles and flow are different, there is a cohesion that works from verse to verse. It’s incredibly cinematic and that comes from the beat, as the very first line being sung by Layzie and the breaks in the beat emphasize the verses and flow. The second single released off the album and my favorite track on the entire album. What we are left with is a 17 track album that is enjoyable and truly unique all the way through. Although all five members of Bone Thugs were from Ohio, with the help of the production team, they captured the very essence of the west coast and added some much appreciated and much needed harmonization to the graphic lyrics. We hear a lot of piano loops, a lot of bass lines and of course various sound effects to give a dark, eerie and murder-esque undertone throughout the album. Eazy-E is here of course as an executive producer since the label was Ruthless, and his presence gives this a familiar but “revamped” sound. There are about 4 people on the production of this album, but one would be synonymous with Bone Thugs and would remain a producer on every project, and that’s of course DJ U-Neek who is credited for the production here (he did collaborate on some tracks).
