FIRST TIME HEARING Bone Thugs N Harmony - Crossroads (REACTION!)

[@mikeslover8065]

Bone is one of the dopest rap groups ever. They completely changed the game.

[@pazh8701]

TRUE GOATS !!!

They were just Tooooooooh GOOD 🎶🎵🍯🔥🔥🔥🙏✌️

So true, this album changed my perception of what hip hop was, it was earth shattering for a 15 year old kid, the next album that had that kind of impact on me was the fugees album the score.

[@UMfan21]

E1999 was a really big album during my high school years. Just behind Pac and Biggie.

[@jasonpoletta1797]

This song was everywhere in 96. You couldn't go a day without hearing it somewhere.

[@klass_1221]

"Thuggish Ruggish Bone" and "1st of the Month", also.

Still its played🙏🏻

[@ajminxy]

That year was so pivotal

[@citizenbrain8065]

This whole album is fantastic. Old school hip hop just hits different.

[@jb0915]

It's not fantastic it's probably one of the greatest albums ever made to me. It's the greatest. It's the only cd where I can literally just put it on track 1 and listen all the way thru

[@apex_agile713]

One of the best albums ever. Incredibly produced. Shout out to DJ U-Neek... He did the whole album

[@YvngKayLod]

Ive heard a few of their songs from my mom when i was younger but im only now going through all theyre music and its heavenly

[@ericlewis217]

Video still gives me chills after 28 years.

[@lucasackerman708]

This is a remake of the original Crossroads, an they did it because they wanted to make the song a tribute to Eazy E. Eazy signed them to ruthless records and passed b4 their second album dropped. Almost 30 years later they still show him love on everything they put out.

[@shindigga420]

Love the original. Anyone who had the first pressing of this album knows the original.Unfortunately most only know the remake.

You should do "First of the Month" next from Bone Thugs

Or "more murder" or "notorious thugs"

[@TomBennett1]

Thug luv, Notorious Thugs, look into my eyes, it's all real, thuggish ruggish Bone, for the love of money are all great songs as well you should look into.

[@eriwilnel]

They broke the mold with harmony rap lyrics! No group flowed like Bone!

[@Ee___]

This!!!!

[@SFGiantsFan2482]

A rap group with a smooth sound and harmonizing was unheard of back then. There's a reason this video was played 2 to 3 times every hour on MTV.

[@dalegreffet2478]

Appreciate the outlook you have on us “oldies” it’s good to see the younger generation understand how our lives inspired the music of our times.

[@Clouden3]

Back in the day, you could burst out any line in this song and people would start singing along. This track was everywhere. Bone was goats for real.

Bone Thugs is one of the greatest rap groups of all time. Lots of bangers and hits throughout their catalog. Grammy winners. Headliners. Plus they showed they had lyrical ability. And then you throw in the harmonizin they do like no other..... awesome

[@StephanieSchwartz-m6v]

The reaction on this kids face is awesome when hears them start....love it

Suicide boys bit thier flow. I looked it up and read their style was inspired by bone thugs. When i heard some of their songs i was like, i know that flow from somewhere and it was bone thugs. They even have a collab with them.

[@petersalazar3534]

Suicide Boys 💯

[@Sam-lu3zy]

You had to be there in the 90s for this one, a true vibe of a song! Was all over the radio!

[@Rodger_Phillips]

Bone Thugs and Harmony are legends, their reach is worldwide, even down here in Australia I was introduced to them and loved their sound so much I ordered the CD from the US. an era where the artists sang from the heart.

[@pauzeandrewind]

As someone currently signed with Bone, just stopped by to say thanks for checkin' out the legends. Much luv, G. We appreciate ya!

[@H8MENOW]

One of the best rap ensembles ever! First rap group with a Diamond certification (10,000,000+ albums sold. )Only rap group to do a song with both 2Pac and Biggie. Group is legendary.

[@jaredluptak2801]

Im 43 feeling old as hell right now. Glad this music is making it to a new gen. Theres so much more good bone thugs out here. Art of war has some amazing tracks as well. They collabed with eazy, big and Pac.

[@yolo8009]

[@neojason8349]

I was in middle school when this song came out and i remember the whole cafeteria sing the hook. It drove the administration crazy.

[@kimberleymonari3560]

****** WOW! Rappers That SING! THIS is Considered a MASTERPIECE. Enough to WIN a GRAMMY for " Best Rap Performance" in 1997! KRAYZIE BONE Has Been Clocked at being One of the TOP 3 FASTEST RAPPERS.

[@kasiaseubert]

You're right. Past generations were more connected to life and valued life. It's very disheartening to see where things have gone.

[@themenacingsloth]

People just don’t care no mo’. It’s a damn shame

[@elvickRULES]

@@themenacingslothI don’t believe that, but I do think it’s by design that the type of meaningful, soul defining media like this song, among others, aren’t promoted to the degree they used to promote them. Certain people don’t want us to value life, value ourselves, value each other, etc. media now reflects what they want us to be. Vapid, stupid, craving the next dopamine hit from social media attention, outside validation, etc.

[@dee_pendable1]

The lyrics back in the day told the real stories. Very powerful indeed. Loved the group...this video used to give me the chills.

[@Dra3000]

This video scared the shit out of me tbh😂

[@felipez7181]

yes that was Easy E. He signed this group to his label Ruthless Records the label NWA was signed before going their own way. Easy E died shortly after signing this group.

[@TomBennett1]

Bone Thugs N Harmony is hands down my favorite group and the most inspiring group I've ever listened to and it's real life they sing about and Krayzie Bone is my favorite Rapper his style and sound is truly unique and legendary. Bone Thugs N Harmony has songs out with Biggie, Tupac, and Big Pun along with countless others. I was 10yrs old when this song came out and it is dedicated to all those who we have lost in this world and will one day get to see each other again I love you Momma and until that day I'll see you at the Crossroads.

[@terry5942]

This song ois about reality of life, death

Ah man this song was played all the time back in the day. This one is my favorite song by them

Man I was 4 years old when this came out. Never has a song touched me like this

[@cwell510]

It's amazing to see young heads listen to and appreciate the music I grew up listening to in my early 20's. Introduced by Eazy E in 1994, Bone Thugs N Harmony hit the hit hop scene with a unique sound of their own.

[@sgdsgdfg]

When this music video came out when I was a kid it scared the living hell out of me.

[@dcdave]

The visual art involved with Videos that were broadcast on MTV back in the Day was and is TRUE ART

[@treys.8597]

This song is actually "Tha Crossroads", not "Crossroads". "Crosswords" was on the original 1995 release, track 8, I believe. "Tha Crosswords" wasn't released until 1996, if memory serves, and replaced "Crossroads" on subsequent re-releases of E.1999 & Eternal.

[@scarce911]

I had to buy the album twice to get the version from the music video when it was re-released

[@indiatastic]

What's the difference aside from title?

[@tekkamanviper2783]

its actually called Tha Crossroads ( Mo Thugs Remix)

[@tekkamanviper2783]

@@indiatastic the song is very different from the Mo Thugs Remix

[@jaemez3247]

Bone was the transition into the new sound but also the exit of spiritual music. They changed the game but also we witnessed a revolution of spirit and music.

[@lesliehagemann5755]

Boy, this track brings back some memories from around high school/college. We listened to this allll the time.

[@joecalvert53]

This was my introduction to hip hop. I have since learned so much more about it, but as a young white teen in Des Moines, Iowa, I didn’t really have much exposure prior to Crossroads. As others mentioned this song was everywhere in 96. I ran out and bought E 1999 Eternal (made my parents mad, but they’ve since come around), and my life was literally forever changed. BTH are truly GOATs of GOATs.

[@Starmann2004]

Im currently 19, but listen to a lot of older hip hop and always have. I remember seeing this music video many years ago, & almost crying to this shi bro. It’s crazy the emotions music can evoke, regardless of age

[@evanspage5]

Yo lil bro, when this song came out we were still on pagers... lol.. phones with tone wouldn't be out for about 5 more years.. I was a HS junior when this track hit, about 16. My buddy died in a car accident, about 100 kids shut down that little road the next evening where he died and got tore up!! Drinkin, smokin, blasting this track on repeat, the cool part, instead of breaking it up thw cops coned off the street and let up mourn.. we didnt stop till the sun was up. One of the cops (Otis) that also did our school security actually brought us a handle of whisky and said some words and gave a pour for Jason before passing the bottle. Real Respect!

[@IamKingReacts]

Wow man Thanks for sharing. You don’t see or hear about anything like that anymore.

Yo I remember living up in Juneau Alaska chokin blunts sippin 40s and Rollin down Eagan highway passing a 4 foot pipe between cars listening to bone thugs ,biggie ,pac ,eazy e ,mo thug family the time they came out with these beats. Thanks for bringing back those good memories bro

I grew up listening to these men. They are my all-time favorite rap group. I still listen to them all the time! Yes that was Easy E. He gave them a platform to perform and they blew people out of the water. They changed the rap game. Listen to a few songs on all the early records. They're so good. ❤

I hadn't heard this song in a long time, until the first part of this year. Had to pull it out for relection before going through kidney cancer surgery. Went back and had another listen when I came out the other side. Still here.

[@HankyDank]

This is the song that got me into rap music. I was in elementary school when this came out and I've been a fan ever since.

[@lhuntley4577]

The early 90s was an era where you couldnt turn on the news without hearing about gang violence, and young black men killing each other. These rap groups experienced a lot of that loss and used it to inspire their songs and inform their fans about what was going on and in the process they shaped a generation's mindset. I was a young white woman listening to rock music but THIS type of song touched everyone in my generation (Gen X). I am sure you have seen Boyz In the Hood..... that was no exaggeration, and it is one of the touchstone films of Gen X's late teens and early 20's.

[@davidsmith-uw2ci]

I 1st heard this song when i was 11 years old in 95, at a friend's house on tv walking past it stopping in my tracks and watched till the end to find out who they was and have been hooked ever since.

[@st_marymary2711]

Hi there. I think you need to go down the BTNH rabbit hole. BTNH are lyrical and harmonic beasts. Check out their Thuggish Roughish Bone, Mo Murda, No Surrender or Notorious Thugs (ft Biggie Smalls)songs. Just be warned that back in these days the gang and police brutality was really bad so they expressed a lot of hatred towards the police. I support the police now as an adult but I don't let that keep me from respecting their art. I get it This song didn't mean too much to me because my beliefs are different but I enjoy the flow of BTNH. They actually rap. No equipment. Just rap and they rap fast. Great reaction. First time I see someone who never heard of them but I know they're way before your time. Peace ✌️

[@carolki1315]

This was a huge number one smash on the Billboard hot 100 chart back then it was number for like eight straight weeks. Very rare for a rap song. I myself was a huge fan of bone thugs back then and got a big kick out of seeing them at number one in the hot 100 chart back then.

[@hannieloooo]

I was in high school when this came out and the thing I remember is that almost *everyone* loved hip hop back then! It was so relatable and humble and respectable. Unfortunately I can’t relate as much to newer hip hop artists. Of course it could just be because I’m old now, 😅 but like you’re saying I think it was so deep and meaningful back then.

[@happycatlady2012]

My dear, that man was the Angel of Death.

[@trevorbrooks9637]

Back when this came out, the genre was dominated by guys from SoCal and NYC and Atlanta was just starting to make waves, so this crew from Cleveland stepping into the mainstream, and it was mainstream, this song was a monster, definitely left some people shook.

This song was one of which that was played at my step brother's funeral. He died at the age of 23 I was 18. It was the music he and all of us listened to. I rarely cry, but I about lost it when this song came on as we said our last goodbyes. Eternal E. 1999 is an entire record worth a listen. Thanks for the video!
