The Notorious B.I.G. (feat. Bone Thugz-N-Harmony) Notorious Thugs REACTION | FIRST TIME REACTION! 😱

[@RanceRob]

Imagine how we all felt in 1997 when we heard this record for the first time. We were sad and ecstatic at the same time. Eargasms all over the country.

[@briancromartie3149]

Facts. Sad that Biggie never got to see people's reactions, to this song.

[@kingofthenorth2988]

Not a bad track on this album imo

[@KMooreUKONE11]

Still one my favorites to this day! To This Day!!!

I was thinking the same thing. Lol I was like WTF they talking bout never never heard this song. How is this possible

[@Pwnification]

LOL Yeah I went to see them a bunch of times way way back. I saw them all together, once without Bizzy, and once without Flesh I think

[@j.a.c.3776]

[@keeganthambiran1375]

Plus they were all passed out drunk and high in the studio before getting in the booth and they each did their verses in one take. Bone Thugs for life

They DO NOT make music like this anymore. This song brings me so much joy. It is timeless!

There's nothing better than a good 90's beat.

As someone who graduated in 95 who grew up with all of this, it’s refreshing to watch the younger generations listen to and appreciate the music we grew up with.

[@imhooks1]

Facts! No era matches the 90s music.

[@mikemunoz7773]

This was a different time in music. They will never make music as good as this again. It makes you appreciate it even more now a days hearing it again after all these years. I was a teenager when this song came out and it still hits hard.

[@christopherfrancisco9010]

One of the best rap songs ever. I’m 45years old and can still spit every lyric after jamming this untold numbers of times back when it dropped.

[@danielcardonalopez9874]

She's in love with you bro, I swear to God 😂❤️ No girl reacts like your girl when you say anything, that's love bro ❤ greetings from Medellín Colombia 🇨🇴

[@ILLiteSociety]

Biggie the best rapper to ever touch the mic. It brightens my day seeing ppl who missed out on older rap, for whatever reason, thoroughly enjoy this shit. Hip hop in its prime was unstoppable.

[@gillatineking3236]

Yesssirrrrr no lies told bro

Nobody can touch Bone Thugs n Harmony I love seeing young people loving and discovering our music. Awesome !

[@rmathis268]

I remember basically every car in Atlanta bumping Bone thug and harmony thuggish ruggish bone song when it first came out. You literally couldn't not hear that in a car passing for more than 5 minutes.

[@TheKeonaj]

Stevie J was Bad Boy’s in house producer. He’s a legend. Word to Faith Evans.

It’s good to see young people like y’all really respecting the greats like B.I.G and Bone. This album came out when I was a senior in high school back in ‘97. Used to get high to this song and just ride the streets of Oakland. Big ups to y’all for respecting true hip hop 1OVE and Blessings

[@ttualumni10]

Very underrated collaboration.

[@andrew_randall]

Stoked when youngsters get hyped off bangers from our time. Was gonna say our bangers but these are timeless and stay bangers forever.

[@Deezey70]

The 90’s was such a amazing time to grow up … every genre of music was knockin hits out of the park one after another non stop … this song hits so damn hard it just never gets old … brings tears to my eyes hearing now ..

[@loudvalidity1593]

I'm so fortunate to have been living through that era. I miss it so damn much. Much love to my Bone Thugs. 💯 up on that East 99 album though, check it out.

[@TheRealIGoBeastMode]

That line when Bizzy said "Triple six rivals spitting fire..." Gets pass a lot of people. Back then, they were beefing with Three 6 Mafia (and Do or Die, Crucial Conflict, and Twista). So he was saying that Bone ( as Three 6 Mafia's rivals) were spitting fire.

[@darrellbrown8527]

It wasnt a coincidence, he was clearly throwin' a shot at 3-6 at the time...but I understand what you mean. I feel the Verzuz might open up some old wounds. lol

[@TheRealIGoBeastMode]

@@darrellbrown8527 They were all firing shots left and right! Layzie in U Ain't Bone saying "Toss him in the trunk of the Caddy on the way to the rodeo, killing all carbon copies" That was Do or Die and Crucial Conflict at the same time. Twista calling them Hoe Thugs all the time, Do or Die making "Bustin Back".... then Krayzie with Ain't Said No Names.... and that's just the tip of the iceberg. I agree that the verzuz is going to a wound opening one but a good one.

Bone Thugs have always been my favorite hip hop performers. Thuggish Ruggish Bone, First of the Month, Look Into My Eyes and Crossroads are a must. Thug Luv is their collaboration with 2 Pac and is also a must.

[@fburgos22]

When this was made in the studio. Bone thugs did all there versus first and Biggie was like 'I gotta take shit home' so bone thugs didn't even get to hear the song until the album came out bcuz Biggie had died.

[@jaceproductions5034]

The fact that Nicki Minaj used the same flow as biggie did when she did that song with meek and breezy. She paid homage to one of the greatest ever and I respect that

[@leomamofokeng5104]

Bizzy Bone the 2nd raooer after Biggie did his verse in one take. Biggie had to go home and redo his verse to adapt to Bone style and he did a good job with it!!!

[@thisistheway3456]

When I was younger I was all Tupac but as I got older this Biggie bars hit hard. Now he's one of my favorites

Here in the comments we already know whats coming next.... you cant do a Bone Thugs song featuring Biggie and not do the one featuring Pac & vice versa. Looking out for the upcoming "Bone Thugs n Harmony ft. 2pac - Thug Luv" lyric video reaction. Also "BTNH - Mo Murder"

When this came out I was riding in my 93 escort gt at Morehouse. When bizzy said man "this is a lake of fire" I was like oh no no no no. You knew it was gonna bang!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RaiderFace7-16]

Bone has they own genre so much more then hiphip and rap. No artist is like them unless they using they flows to copy they style they brought. So many rappers today used they stuff. Artist wasn't singing and rolling the touches like bone thru the whole song.

[@otisyoungblood]

Big heard Bone and knew he had to rewrite his verse and that's what he came up with🔥🔥

[@georgelo2588]

Imagine when you were old enough when this first came out. Still have this song in my playlist. 2022 still thumping this song. These legends went off on this track.

This is my era of music and miss it so much. One of the things I love about Bones Thug songs is the harmonies they add to them. I also agree they all are so different and that adds another layer to them. Great reaction guys.

[@6_pains]

From what I’ve heard, everything from Bone in this song was one take, and Big was in the studio when they laid it down and he already had his verse written. But he was so impressed, he had to go back home and rewrite his part. Supposedly, he died before he could get it to Bone himself. The first time Bone heard Biggie’s verse he was already dead. They were supposedly shocked because nobody had ever heard Biggie rap fast before. The story still gets me emotional to this day.

[@Stacia1975]

Same ... 💔

[@alanako4088]

Man this song is just ridiculous, it’s a masterpiece idk how I can describe it

[@ThePierre454]

The flow is Inpeccable!

[@shandrag6329]

Bone thugs was one of my favorite bands in my teens. This one of my favorite songs

[@lbdlars4484]

Early on with Bone I was just into the melodies and the way they flowed was so cool and original, but once I really started listening and could break down what they were actually saying, I realized this was the most talented rap group in history. They are underrated because their flow was so fast and most of the time it doesn't sound like they're saying real words, but once you get the lyrics and follow along like they're doing in this clip, you will see what I realized over 20 years ago, that they are one of the greatest ever.

[@GAMINGWITHTRUE]

Never forget, Bone laid their verses down first, Biggie took the record home to write his verse and switch his cadence to try to match Bone's delivery. Mad props to him for changing his style on this track. Bone the only ones to drop songs with Eazy E, 2PAC, BIGGIE, Big Pun while still living.

[@BYUBOY33]

What I love most about coming up in this time....everyone had their own flow for the most part. A lot of high level lyricists too.

[@surgetwo9]

Do or die "po pimp" feat. Twista

The Bone type of flows are one of the reasons HMack is impressive. He does the tone inflections and flow switches are something that are largely missing from a lot of artists. Bone pioneered the sound. Mack may not be modeling himself after them but it's something they have in common.
