Bone Thugs & Harmony


whofarted My homies have skills. So you can't put them on no wackass list. Each rappper out there has tried to bite their style including Nelly. You need to put on the breaks on that for real Q.


Bone Thugs beat biters = Nelly, 50 Cent, C-Murder, Ja Rule

50 Cent?

Juvenille & Cash Money and all them

Master P


If this is a list for emcees you'd NEVER see on a top 10 list, wasn't 50 at the number 1 spot for Get Rich or Die Tryin' with 11 million in sales or something like that.

Master P's gotta be on SOME top 10 richest artists somewhere.


What sales gotta do with skills?

Puttin 2 and 2 together here... confuse Hammer sold millions, he aint on no ones best rapper list is he? Unless ur the Sexofit or the year is 1991 or sumthin'

Left-Eye was whack as fuck. Don't get me wrong R.I.P. and all that good shit. But if she made number one of anybodies list i hope to christ that it was an error.


On the contrary...

I see a rainbow yesterday
But too many storms have come and gone
leavin' a trace of not good-given ray
Is it because my life is ten shades of gray
I pray all ten fade away
Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
And like His promise is true only my faith can undo
The many chances I blew to bring my life to anew
Clear blue and unconditional skies
Have dried the tears from my eyes
No more lonely cries endurin' pain that
it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
Who's to blame it's a shame
You shoot and aim for someone else's brain
You claim the insane and name his day in time
For fallin' prey to crime, I say the system
Got you victim to your own mind
Dreams are hopeless aspirations in hopes
Of comin' true, believe in yourself
The rest is up to me and you


from "Waterfalls"

A-yo, if we could all agree
To lettin' our souls become free
Of that sweet bitterness
Then who's chest would have the most seeds?
I keep misfocusin' my needs
And distress on my back with them cats
They be blastin' into my knapsack
Ain't no accidental deathtraps
My mishap is the fact that I'm destined to snap
It's when I feel as though my body's able to go
My mind is ready to flow, didn't you know?
First you catch and then I throw
It's my own sense of time
If I'm late, it's 'cuz I'm endin' my day
Just when the sun shines
And still gently advising the arisin' of the moon
As it rolls around into my soundproof dimension


from "Sumthin Wicked This Way Comes"

Oh I Oh I Oh I am the surgeon general
I do believe in lyrical miracles (Warning!)
Creepin' may cause hysterical behavior in the mind
Put your life into a bind
And in time make you victim to a passionate crime
Now pregnant women put themselves at greater risk of bein' dissed
Known as no one for not knowin' who the daddy is
Which may result in little kids growin' up by the dozens
Gettin' sexually involved with first cousins
Creepin' is the number one item on the chart
Rippin' families apart the leadin' cause of a broken heart
Injuries can be fatal may in fact of prenatal
HIV is often sleepin' in a creepin' cradle


But I'll admit, that Left Eye had really fell off in her final days of her life. You can tell by listening to the "Supernova" cause her flow got slow and a lil off beat, but she still had a speical message in every song on the album. She probably wouldnt make the Top 10 of MCs in general, but I gaurantee you she would make the Top 10 Females MCs
[Edited 7/15/05 8:14am]
[Edited 7/15/05 8:16am]


I agree. I love her rap in "Something Wicked This Way Comes"
'Cause your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance... well, they're no friends of mine.

Hotlips, your boys are booty. I hate to say it, but that double-up rhyme mess is wack. Don't nobody wanna hear them fools wailing as they try and rap. That's why they played out so fast.

Sorry, that's your opinion. Their Double up style is what made them unique and alot these cats of their now have bitten their style so its far from wack Q.


Yeah it's my opinion and I'll stand by it. But who's bitten their style? Because you can actually say Bone Thugs bit that style from Das EFX.

1. Vanilla Ice

2. Lisa 'Left-Eye' Lopes

3. Ma$e

4. Lloyd Banks

5. The Ying Yang Twins (can they even be considered rappers?)

6. Li'l Jon

7. Young MC

8. Tone-Loc

9. MC Hammer

10. Amil




Your list is whack!

Lisa 'Left-Eye' Lopes, imo could have been 1 of the best female rappers.

Tone-Loc is corny, but ok.

And there aint no reason to dis Hammer, other than the pants.


To clarify, my list wasn't who I thought was "good" or "bad." It was a list of those who I personally think would never grace "Top 10 emcees" lists.

Left Eye's flow is pedestrian. The only thing she has going for her is a bugged out style of rhyming (and that's stretching it). She gets killed by femcees like Rah Digga, Bahamadia, God-Des, Jean Gray, even Eve. Her Supernova album was bugged out, yet it was too heady and inconsistent at times.

E-40 is SO original. I LOVE the way the guy flows. The entire "In A Major Way" LP is a West Coast classic, IMHO.

Cum on Hotstuff! Don't be all salty about it! wink The truth is THE TRUTH. Das EFX had that style first and then Bone Thugs took it and added the harmony side to it.

Sales have NOTHING to do with their rhymin' skills except for their sales is what may put them on the top of a sales list which would mean they wouldn't qualify for the thread title. The title is emcess you'd NEVER see on A Top 10 List. So I think our communication is just getting twisted a bit. Now if this thread was titled Top 10 Emcees you'd never see on a Lyrical Top 10 list, then yes, 50 and P woudldn't be there. So no worries!

Ive heard them sing on songs before (just like every other rapper does), but they havent sung in a Bone Thugs And Harmoney sort-of-way.
