Due to HIGH demand, we reacted to "Tha Crossroads" Music Video! Available EXCLUSIVELY on Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/patreon-dad-to-70611688

For a young kid like you that wasn’t even close to be born around this time you do a good job of doing your research and breaking down to you dad certain key points. I’m 36 years old this song was a huge part of my childhood! Bone in general.

Just imagine if DAD saw the music video. He would be blown away. I luv this channel.

This song hits differently when you get older and the friends you sang this song with have passed away. I got instantly sad.

Crossroads is one of the best hip hop songs of all time. I’m glad to see this reaction. Thank you both. Much love from South Africa. 🇿🇦

Bone was great in the 90s. The tongue twisting and harmony was unmatched

I just think it is so nice to see a father and son like this. I hope you continue to have such a nice relationship.

The smirk the dad makes when Bizzy starts his verse is a universal reaction for all music lovers 😃 LOVE BTNH

Hearing this oldie made me break down and cry. I’ve lost so many people since this came out.

They are the only group 2 make a song with Eazy-E, Big Pun, 2Pac and B.I.G.! No other group is this legendary.

I cry every time I hear this song. Almost every black person got at least one person this song is dedicated to. Played after a funeral at least once. At least the ones I’ve been to. 🙌🏾✨❤️‍🔥

I looove this song. Fact, this video to this song as a small kid intoduced me the concept of death in way that I could understand at the time that has always stuck with me throughout my life.

Kai man i love how emotional your father gets with music, the bond you two have is amazing bro. Cherish that man kai some of us grew up without one and he seems like the perfect father a kid could ask for, love you two, keep doing this you guys are great

Bone Thugs brought a musicality to the scene that today still has never been matched. Nice review

“Days of our Livez” has to be the next Bone Thugs song you guys listen to! It’s a masterpiece!

I used to not be able to listen to this song without crying after my boyfriend passed in "96, and it was played at his funeral along with Tupac's Life Goes On. Both great songs and packed with lots of meaning! Y'all are great. Detroit, MI here. Blessed Be & One Love!

This track is so unique. Somewhat of a stream of consciousness from multiple people, different stages of grief being thrown around in each sentences. The chorus gives off an air of acceptance. Visceral get it off your chest music.

​Crossroads Video took this song to another level . Show dad the video then do a review again .

I dedicated this song to my father who passed from a Overdose. I miss him everyday

I used to be scared as hell of the music video as a child but once I grew up and lost my uncle who was my bestfriend… I gained a new appreciation for this song. Video and all

Bone thugs are family friends of us. We grew up in a rough state, and then doing what they did meant a lot to us folks. Will love Bone 4eva. Never forget WISH, he was underrated. But bizzy and crazy really carried a lot. Maybe you can show him the music videos as well. That Midwest HIP HOP/RAP!

Should let daddy watch the video to Crossroads too, the video was ahead of its time for the period. The reaper making peoples eyes black still hits a nerve.

I can’t stress how loved this song was at the time, the people couldn’t get enough of it

Damn, dude. I’ve been listening to Bone Thugs n Harmony since 1994, and I couldn’t describe them better.

The entire album is a masterpiece 🔥🔥🔥

Let your dad get a taste of First of the Month Bone Thugs-n-Harmony he'll love it

We need more Bone Thugs!

My favorite Aunt died of COVID19 completions almost 2 years ago. This reaction made my eyes water RIP Aunt Sister - See ya at The Crossroads.

I am biased, as I grew up in the 90's, but this decade was the best for music! I love seeing people discover it because it reminds me not to take these bars and these vocals for granted.

This is a song you and your dad should do a video reaction to. The video made the song even more impactful

The video for this song is amazing! Also, I remember being a kid and everybody used to yell the “Damn, I miss my uncle Charles” part 😂

This song was playing on the radio when I returned from summer camp as a kid and my mom told me my cousin died, so I am always taken to that moment when I hear this song. You should play Thug Luv, Notorious Thugs and Breakdown so that he can hear how other artists switched up their styles to accommodate them. Also, Days of Our Livez for a song of a similar tone.

Glad to be born and raised with music like this being born in the ghetto this type of music was a part of my child hood that me and my parents listen today

I'm from Cleveland. I've been waiting for this!!!

Love how your dad is getting super knowledgeable on Rap!

I played this song, dear mama, and changes, on repeat for my mother who past away in 1994, and my father who I didn’t know but passed away in 1992. These songs got me through a lot of pain as a young kid, I was 9 when my father passed, 11 when my mom died, was playing these songs as a young teenager, with such grief. I’m 39, and still go to these songs as I did back then.

I love how the father is genuinely excited to hear new songs and ready to learn new knowledge

Dad said, "Bag-a-Bones"!!!!! Bwahahaha! At 57, I get tickled sometimes... LOL

I am a huge fan of Bone Thugs n Harmony. I have always liked the way they could incorporate harmonies in with their rapping skills. It brings an unique sound to hip hop. Now you need to have your dad react to Notorious Thugs with Biggie.

Dad smiling during Bizzy part just lighten up my day

E. 1999 Eternal’s original release had 17 tracks which included the song “Crossroad”. “Tha Crossroads” was a reissue bonus track.

Seeing anyone react to my favorite group growing up is one of my favorite things. Classic but criminally underrated.

Bone thugs are great. 1st of the month, Thuggish Ruggish, etc they are an amazing group with some rather amazing songs. I'm glad that you guy have listened to them and are "adding" it to your mental libraries. Thanks as always.

Dad is the chillest man I've ever seen. Keep it up guys!

There were five members and always five members. Flesh Bone who is Layzie’s Brother did some hard time after they dropped but they always tried to collab with him and supported him thru his entire stay. Flesh got out a long time ago now tho and they are back to 5 officially. I met Flesh the first year he got out and had a nice conversation with him too. He gave me a homie shoulder punch for knowing his stuff and it resonated with a lot.

2:30 Eazy did not "help them get their first deal", he literally signed them to his own label. That's how much he believed in them

NEED WAAAAAAY MORE BONE THUGS STUFF

Melody + harmony + gangster rap = the best rap group of all time. Bone are the goats.

I think a good song for you guys would be “Home” by Bone Thugs and Phil Collins. Two totally different artists who blend well together.

Really envious having a father like that 👍. Top man and son ✌

OMG now you have to do NOTORIOUS THUGZ- BIGGIE featuring BONE THUGZ N HARMONY,,, but you might need to have the lyrics playing while listening

Bringing back my high school years, rolling in our beater cars with this blasting and mostly mumbling through the lyrics.

So glad you reacted to bone thugs. Thuggish Ruggish Bone is a gem too. Love seeing your dad’s growth, too cute. He’s describing songs with the right terminology in terms of flow and is able to relax and listen to the lyrics now. Cool cool

First album I bought with my own money and with an explicit content label...always will hold a special place for me, even had my hair like em!

On this song: Bizzy goes first Lazy goes second Krazy goes third Wish goes fourth “AndI’mGunnaMissEverybody…” is Bizzy Bone

Dad calling bone thugs beautiful warms my heart!!! And all the subtle shit he picked up on after listening once was stellar, good job dad! Thanks guys, another banger reviewed, as always keep it up. Salute

It's important to note that rap/hip hop before the proliferation of the internet and social media had very distinct regional sounds. Bone Thugs had a unique rapping style/sound and put the Midwest on the map in a time dominated by East Coast and West Coast rapping styles. You should listen to Notorious Thugs by Biggie ft /Bone Thugs and Breakdown by Mariah Carey ft Bone Thugs. Both Biggie and Mariah emulate/mimic the fast rapping style of Bone Thugs which was novel at the time.

This was 👌 awesome!!!! Bone thugs are goated and KrayIe Bone is low key the best artist that can be put in the category of hiphop/rap yet he transcends those labels and should be recognized as a pure artist.

They are the only group to do a song with biggie and tupac

Growing up in Africa in the 90s I was really influenced by Bone. To this day their music is still a staple on my playlist. A great way to let the hours pass on long drives. Thanks for responding to our requests. You're doing a great job.

They harmonized so well

Bone Thugz N Harmony "TAKE ME HOME" featuring Phil Collins

Can’t wait to see your reaction. That song‘s been in my top 5 forever. Even had the chance to see Bone Thugs live. Hope y’all enjoy it 🙏

Dad is a Bone fan I can tell Show him: Foe Tha Love of Money + Thug Luv + Notorious Thugs These three songs alone cement their legacy and highlight how important BTNH was - and still is - to the evolution of rap music

BONE THUGS LIVING LEGENDS

You guys should get to the Bone tracks that they did with Pac and Biggie. The only group to do songs with both! It goes to show what kind of respect they had and still have.

Layzie is my fav. The second rapper that was singing. Bone Thugs N Harmony is one of the groups I grew up on. LEGENDS IN HIP HOP! DISCOVERED BY THE ONE AND ONLY EAZY-E (HE DIED ON MY 5TH BIRTHDAY, ILL NEVER FORGET THAT) 🙏🏿🙏🏿🕊️🕊️💙💙

i just discovered your channel a few days ago... what an amazing relationship you have with your dad man! i already finished all your videos.. like its amazing to share feelings and opinion about music with someone who really feels it! im so impressed from both of you! keep going!

New fan to the channel 💪🏾 This how you destroy racism and not just listening but understanding the music is very dope!!! Good job kid and shout out to Dad!!!

They really do have such a unique sound 😌🔥 I have that East 99 Eternal CD in my car right now! 🙌😂

Dads smile at 5:45

One of my favorite songs of all time

This song is a phenomenon! No words, just BEAUTIFUL! A Masterpiece and deepest of the deep, it SPEAKS... Bravo 🌹🌹🌹

Def my childhood. This song was def on repeat. Well done fellas!

I've been a fan of Bone Thugs N Harmony ever since I was a kid, this song and the video tugs at my heartstrings every time

Bone are my fav artists of all time! Krayzie being my fav.. 🐐 period. They made me fall in love with music esp Tha Crossroads! I was 9 years old I'm now 35 and bigger fan then ever.

I love how open your dad is to any type of music. I’m sure others have said this but for someone so young that hasn’t grown up with a lot of these artists & songs you do a damn good job explaining them to your dad. With Bone, they’ve said how Eazy-E saved their lives when he scooped them off the streets of Cleveland (Ohio) if it wasn’t for Eazy-E believing in them they’d be dead or in jail. For me growing up with these rap groups was amazing. I wish you had shown your dad the music video to tha crossroads because it makes me cry every time I see it! Knowing that Eazy-E’s death was so suspect and seeing him in the video just hits an emotional spot.

Pops have me laughing so hard when he does little bits and pieces of the song 😂🤣😂 Sooo Kool...

The concept of “crossroads” is a major theme in black American music. It goes all the way back to the blues era & it comes from Black American hoodoo. A lot of the great black guitarist & other musicians are said to have sold their soul to papa legba at the crossroads to gain their talent. While that isn’t the theme for this song I thought it should be mentioned how African Spirituality travels through Black American culture even though due to slavery we have been so far removed from African culture.

I wished Pops would have seen the video. The video did a great job giving visuals to the song. Hope to see more Bone Thugs on this channel!

It looks like I came here a year too late, but I do agree with Kai about the music around the time Bone Thugs-n-Harmony came out. I actively looked for artists that sounded different from the gangsta rap that was all over by that point and not only found this group, but Wu-Tang Clan, Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliot, Redman and others. This branching out introduced me to the music I still cherish and come back to today. I'd also like add that I felt Bone Thugs not only musically bridged the gap between East and West Coast rap, they literally did this by being mentored by Easy-E and later collaborating with Biggie, which blew my mind when it happened. Thanks for your reaction!

There are soooooooo many Bone Thugs songs you could sift through. Literally ANYTHING from their first two albums.

It’s such a beautifully tragic song that gets me emotional & moves me to tears every time I listen to it

Just found this channel. Love your analysis. You guys are a testament that all music is truly universal. I love it!!

I love this energy between the two of you!! It is so brilliant and thick with so much love and understanding I can feel it from here....brings tears to my eyes. Tears of joy...yes....so powerful it touches my soul. Thank you

Nooo not just this song!! All bone thugs. This is just the one we thought y’all would like the most lmfao. All their shit is 🔥🔥🔥

First album I ever bought when I was ten years old babe . Excellent album

So glad you guys did this one, BTNH has bee a very huge part of my life since they came out in the early 90s.

I love how y'all appreciate the beauty of this song and this group. I think imma be a new subscriber. I also love how the new Gen is listening and teaching the older gen about music period. Breath of fresh air. 🥰 Keep it going guys

I love how we all started tapping our feet and bobbing our heads at the same time a real vibe he guys are amazing beautiful song...one of my favorite songs....

Also film, 1. You gotta start showing your father some of the videos. Visuals are highly important in hip hop. A lot of music you introduced your father too the impact & success was actually due to the video. For ex. this song! I was only 6 when this song came out but I vividly remember this video & how it scared ALL us kids at the time lol. 2. Your father will probably never understand the metaphorical prose in hip hop unless he’s introduced to classic black films & tv shows. Almost every hip hop song especially the 90s references a throwback classic film or colloquially called “hood classics”. Ok that’s it :) keep up the content.

I’ve waited patiently for this review!! Thank you! When Dad first smiled, I smiled 😀 Love Bone Thugs and I still play this song on repeat!

FINALLY!! I have been requesting this since your second video, the gentleman have come a long way! Sending love to you and yours from Orlando Florida

Thank you for sharing this iconic song by Bone Thugz N Harmony. You have no idea how big this song was at the time. I've had some people pass away around that time, this song helped me get through the pain. I believe this song was number 1 for many weeks. Tha Crossroads won a Grammy for Best Rap perfromance by a Group. Bone Thugz is one of the greatest hip hop group of all time.

I was obsessed with bone thugs when I was a teenager!! Do thug luv next please!

I love that you and your Dad can do this together. Awesome to see and be a part of.

Love your dad's choices in words, reminds me of the dad I never had. Always a pleasure watching yal

They were always a five member group but one of them (Flesh) got in some trouble and went to prison. That same member (Flesh) was also the first to get a solo deal. He signed with Def Jam.

I would love if he reacted to arrested development everyday people or Mr. wendal.

Thank you so much for allowing CC on your videos. You don‘t know how much that opens up the KZfaq experience for hearing impaired individuals. Bless you!
