Mariah in an interview said that she sang that way to mimic Bone Thugs n Harmony’s cadence! Especially bc they do a lot of that depressive/emotional rap and this is such an emo song lol I think it’s cool that she interpreted that style in her way and kinda paid respects to their style at the same time.

Mariah has stated that she was heavily influenced by Bone Thugs when she heard them. Mariah released the song “One Sweet Day” that was about death and losing loved ones and it did well…but when Bone Thugs put out Tha Crossroads it was a smash grammy award winning hit and Mariah loved thier sound. She invited them to come collab on a song and the story is they almost didnt do but they were talked into it. Krayzie and Wish are on this song but theres a remix that adds Layzie Bone onto it and the verses are extended. Its called the “Mo Thug Remix” and its worth checking out! She also has another hand full of songs with them Also Usher was also clearly influenced by Bone and many many others

You mixed up what Bone Thugs n Harmony were doing. They weren't singers. They were a rap group of rappers that mixed rap with a melodic flow and harmonies which wasn't really seen at the time. They popularized chopper rap which is a rap subgenre that is a fast paced style of rapping. It originated in the Midwest. They are from Ohio. Mariah was among those that popularized collaborating with rappers in r&b songs which initially they were hesitant to do bec they wanted her to have a certain image

Mariah is widely-credited for popularizing the blend of pop, hip hop and r&b as well as these collabs. It's quite wild to think that she single-handedly changed the course of popular music. Incredible impact and musicality. And those lyrics? Clearly a reason she's in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. One of my favorite parts of this song is how it builds from melancholy to full-blown wails that mimic a "breakdown."

Mariah heard "Crossroads" by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, which was big at the time and borrowed the melody for "Breakdown." She asked some members to collaborate. There is a Mo Thugs remix of Breakdown with an extended rap section. In her memoir, she has a funny anecdote about their collaboration. 🍁 Mo Thugs is a spin-off group of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and was formed to showcase Cleveland-based artists BTNH were developing.

De que trata este video de La gran vocalista que es considerada la mejor de todos los tiempos o de los csballos. Por cierto le recomiendo estudiar un poco de técnica de contó por confunden un falsete con algo que estremadamente bonito y que su mecanismo de ejection para emitir dicho sonido no es precisamente de un falsete. Toda persona que conoce de canto sabe eso. Adicionalmente, es una canción extremadamente compleja que inclusive para grabarla la hace muy difícil porque tiene muchas melodías y armonías similares a las que maneja Bach en su música y nunca escuche esto de ustedes mencionar en su video. Tampoco mencionaron la complejidad de los arreglos musicales y que se expresa con gran dinamismo y expresión como cadencias imperfectas y totales. Asimismo, no es una voz suave si te pones a estudiar un poco y estudias más la voz de la artista entenderás que es una marca de voz y confunden su aterciopelado tono y que su estructura de compone como si fuese un listo de con filamentos dorados en la orilla y una textura que es marca de voz como la mía donde se acentúa una sensación de presencia de arena sobre ríos deslizándose sobre piedra su siendo acariciada por el viento dejando una estela de llena de brillos dorados. Todo músico que conoce de este arte y sobre de técnicas vocales sabe esta voz es particularmente hermosa por esa constitución y que la hace resalta su brillo en los agudos cuando por un constitución anatómica dienta a los de más produce diferentes frecuencias de tonalidades por lo que este característico brillo al final de i. Lo que me lleva a pensar que no están buscando hacer una crítica constructiva de esta gran estrella sino más bien siendo unos groseros muy baja clase y categoría. Lo me que me hace pensar también que no tienen ningún conocimiento de canto y por lo que vi un a voz nada prepara y nada agradable. De esta misma manera, los caballos no son canguros y es un insulto a los caballitos porque son animales hermoso y merecen su respeto y más viniendo de personas com ustedes que hace este tipo de degradación de la estrella de cual trata el programa y le dan importancia al caballo y se me da la impresión de ser personas de bajos modales al acentuar partes íntimas de la estrella con el mouse y se evidente en su comentarios algo fuera de lugar. No se quienes sean ustedes y tampoco me interesa saberlo con ver este video me doy una idea de todo lo demás que producen. Los invito a leer un poco más y no se dieron o quizás si de lo más importante y por eso se burlan que son csballos reales y que está dirigida de un hermano al otro y tiene relación en when I saw you. Y si tienen razón so especiales los caballos para los ignorantes parecen canguros para la gente ni clase y realeza son bellos corceles.
