One of the things that is most impressive about this LP is how fresh it sounds.and I mean that in the literal sense. There's not a single weak track on the album, but to have so many stand-out stellar tracks is a rarity. Bill Collector, The Getaway, Tha Crossroads, First of the Month, Die Die Die and Mo' Murda" are all fantastic and impressively unique. It's rare for an album to have a number of tracks that stand out yet still have their own individual sound, but: "Da Introduction, East 1999, Eternal, Crept and We Came, Mr. There is an all-encompassing dark/eerie/gritty/authentic/underworld/occult/psychic feel that permeates the entire album, and THAT is what takes this LP from "great" to "magical". But there is a somewhat intangible element, or set of elements, that escalates this album to the top. Each Bone member had their own unique style/delivery, D.J Uneek's/Tony-C's beats provided the perfect backdrop for their unique delivery, Eazy-E's mentoring ensured that only the best songs were created, and this was the album where Bone got the rapping/harmonizing balance just right. 1999 Eternal" for months and bought it the day it came out it (for those of you too young to remember, people used to buy CD's). So suffice it to say I was eagerly awaiting "E. I became obsessed with deciphering and memorizing the lyrics and listened to the songs on that EP hundreds of times.literally. The more I listened to the "Creepin' on ah come up" EP, the more I loved it. I've been a huge fan of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony since "Foe Da Love of $" (yeah, I know "Thuggish Ruggish Bone" preceded it, but "Foe Da Love of $" was the track that won me over). Go pick up Bone's new album, BTNHressurection, on Feb 29th (the day it comes out)! Buy it now if you havent! Its simply the greatest album EVER made. Ive never seen a cd constructed with such pyro-technic skill and brillaincy. From the Intro to Shotz, the listener taken on a journey through Clevelands roughest ghetto, but from a safe distance. The combo of Bone's unique style and Dj Uneeks production skills makes for an unstoppable combo. Though Creepin On Ah Come Up came out first, this was the album to revolutionize the Bone style. Bone took gangsta rap and put harmony into it, and with Uneek behind the boards, they have created a COMPLETLY new style of hip hop. All the songs on here are nicely constructed. Its been almost 5 years, and i still listen to it like it was brand new. Its too bad that todays hip hop doesnt produce albums of this caliber and critically acclaimed status. Their lyrics are hardcore on here, but are were also a reality for them at the time. It is their ghetto diary, of of pain and struggle. The songs portray the album concept, of how Bone tells the story of street life in their native Cleveland, Ohio. The beats are more complex and sophisticated, as seen in the beautiful flute work of Eternal, No Shorts/No Losses, Mo Murda, and Tha Crossroads, all produced by the one and only DJ Uneek. They took more time on this album than on Creepin On Ah Come Up.

Probably Bone's finest work to date (Art Of War is great too though). Few hip hop albums are as influential and groundbreakin' as this. To say this is a classic album would be a gross understatement. That E.1999 Eternal is so musical only makes its noxious lyrical content all the more subversive. But like Boyz II Men's evil twins, Bone offer up a complex potion of bittersweet crooning and poisonous rapid-fire rhyming that takes us deep into the dark side of life and the twisted side of death. Bone's vocal style is so tuneful and harmonically coordinated that it sounds more like a ghostly chant/sing than like traditional rap. That is, E.1999 Eternal contains some of the most beautiful music you'll ever be repulsed by. And, it seems, even in death the gangsta rap pioneer isn't a bit repentant.įollowing last year's multiplatinum EP, Creepin' on Ah Come Up, Bone have put together a debut long-player that builds on everything the first record promised. It's as if Eazy still talks to the members of Bone-Krayzie, Layzie, Bizzy, Wish, and Flesh N'-through their beloved Ouija board. gangsta grooves Eazy helped create with the group's spooky fascination with the afterlife. It's somehow appropriate that Ruthless Records' first release since the death of its founder, Eazy-E, would come from Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, a Cleveland-based crew that mixes the smooth L.A.
