This particular song not only won a grammy , but it broke The Beatles record at the time (I think it was for staying in the number 1 spot the longest at the time for 8 weeks if I remember correctly)…the single on its own went double platinum selling over 2 million copies world wide. The album it appeared on “East 1999 Eternal” I think sold 4-5 million out the gate and has now sold over 10 million certifyibg it as a Diamons selling record. The song is a dedication to thier friends and family who had passed away including thier mentir Eazy E who was the person who signed them to Ruthless Records in 1993. Eazy passed in 1995

We BONE THUGS fans don't fuck around 😂

"Why they kill my dawg" means, in slang, why did they kill my friend, my brother. LOL. No ones actual dog was killed. lol

The Greatest rap group of all time

Bone Thugs - GOATS

OMG the way y'all are analyzing this is really killing my soul.

How have you not heard of Bone Thugs? These dudes are super legends in hip hop. Been in the game for 30 years and still putting out music…still have a cult following and still tour. Grammy award winning, only group ever to work with Eazy E, 2Pac, Biggie and Big Pun while they were alive. They’ve crossed genres and have worjed with all kinds of artists. You mention the Commedors? Look up Krayzie Bone and Commedors…he collabed with them. Krayzie being 1 of the 5 members. They’ve also worked with the likes of Jonathan Davis (of Korn), Mariah Carey, Phil Collins, the Marley Borithers among many many other legends showing thier versatility. As others have said, I suggest you do some research and give them a further listen…most influential rap group of all time and the majority of todays rap is influenced from Bone

I honestly this came off a little disrespectful and I was anticipating a little more open mindedness considering I’ve never seen your videos before and you’re not the typical demographic for this kind of music. At least on the surface. I would suggest at least minimum research before reacting to a group that you’ve never heard. I say this because Bone Thugs have a huge following and history that is full of drama and excitement. They’re still dropping music to this day, almost 30 yrs now. That being said they’re not classically trained for singing. They have a huge catalog and some songs are only singing some are a mix and some are just straight rapping with little to no singing. They are definitely the pioneers of the triplet flow that you got a brief example of on this song. Eazy E is the one signed them to his label Ruthless Records and that suggested adding the N Harmony part to their name after listening to them because of how much they harmonize. Bone Thugs N Harmony have had a lot of influence in the rap game. They’re living legends. Krayzie Bone and Bizzy Bone are amongst the top echelon of MCs. They’re more than just rappers. Personally I think they’re well rounded artists because of how experimental they are. I’m biased being a die hard fan and maybe I over exaggerated but I feel like there was an overall disrespectful tone. Hopefully you give them another chance. They are a talented group. Also prayers to Krayzie Bone who is in the hospital right now due sarcoidosis 🙏🏾

This group was rappers and not R&B Singers, so comparing to other R&B artist and Lionel Richie you’re prob going to be underwhelmed. That was never their talent or genre. They came onto the RAP scene with the triplet flow (which hadn’t been heard of that time), which really was like their baseline and just mixed in harmonies (which was also a first in rap). They kind of took the rap genre by storm and were really successful in it. I’d recommend giving some of their other hits a try, but they still might not be y’all cup of tea.

BONETHUGSFAM4LIFE

These guys are classic white dudes. Got me rollin' " he killed his dog, or somebody killed his dog" haha. Man, live just a little bit more

These guys are so detached from life that they can’t feel the music 😂

Try Bone Thugs featuring Phil Collins, "Home".

Y'all literally fucking up the vibe

Wow these guys been living under a rock their entire lives

This song broke the beatles records and won a grammy for BTNH. One of the most classic hip hop song ever made.

YES WE USED TO ACTUALLY LISTEN TO TALENTED INDIVIDUALS.

"This song is better than the entire Migos catalog"

Bone thugs and harmony are true legends in the game

Bones been blowing minds for a while

The first time I listened to this song I felt the same way you guys feel right now. However, I feel the song was way before its time allowing it to deliver a message and feelings that a typical R&B song couldn't do nor a typical rap song. The problem I initially had with it was I was initially looking at it as an RnB song expecting typical hooks and bridge ect, however, the unorthodox structure took time to get used to and once I got used to the structure I was able to then digest the message and feelings behind the song. In the end, this is a unique song that has not been repeated even though there are literally millions in the budget of many record companies for those who can make another crossroads. As a matter of fact, even to this day Bone has been asked to make another Crossroads, and even though they have been successful using certain elements from this song, nobody has been able to quite put the pieces together the way this song is constructed. The best analogy I can come up with is a rap version of Bohemian Rhapsody another song with a million moving parts, but the execution of placing these parts in the perfect place separates it from any other song. The pure beauty of this song is that it basically created a different genre of music, not quite singing and not quite rap, but in the end, it has a whole lot of what's missing in today's music, SOUL.

“They killed my dog” translates to they killed my friend, dude, pal, homie. - If you are going to react please come correct i.e.(know your shit)

Bone thugs are the goat rap group. Seen them 5 times live. But, if you guys are really looking for harmonies, check out 4th impact - never enough

Little Eazy is long gone Really wish he could come home But when they tell a guy, gotta go, bye bye All a lil thug could do was cry, cry Why'd they kill my dawg? Damn, man, I miss my Uncle Charles, y'all And he shouldn't be gone In front of his home, what they did to Boo was wrong Oh so wrong, was so wrong Gotta hold on, gotta stay strong When the day comes Better believe Bone got a shoulder you can lean on, lean on

Guys I love that your breaking down rap without knowing it. Trust us bone thugs is the one

Bone 4 Life! They told yall this was ETERNAL!

"did he kill his dog?" 🤣🤣

Oh man, if you guys think you're thrown for a loop on the structure of the song and how it's not conventional, wait until you listen to Outkast, more specifically Andre 3000. You never know if he's going to start on the one or the two, you might split a word to end a bar then the second syllable of the same word begins the next bar. It's bananas. This wasn't a version of the record that was planned, which is why the earlier release of E.1999 had a different Crossroads on it. That one was dedicated to their homie who was essentially the 6th member, but he was killed before they met Eazy and blew up. While out on tour they kept getting call after call about friends/family dying (most notably Layzie's child and of course Eazy E) so they went in the studio and produced this masterpiece dedicated to everyone they lost.

That part at the end when the angel of death took the baby, that baby represented Lazies baby that only lived a few hours after birth.

Song beat the Beatles record for fastest number one song in history.

Stop overthinking it, it’s a rap song and won awards for bringing good. Quit the judging and just appreciate it for what it is

This is hilarious. The back and forth about killing a dog made me laugh so hard. It's like you two grew up on a different planet.

They killed his dawg... as in brotha... homie...90s slang😂

Next react "shoot em up" by then Classic one

If you guys looked up the lyrics while listening to thw song you would understand it a lot better. These guys are singing about all their friends and family that were killed and how they miss them. This song was the number 1 song for the longest time when it came out. Won Grammy and broke the Beatles record. Look up the lyrics and you'll understand it better. When it first came out the lyrics were inside the cd cover. That's how I learned to appreciate the song so much more than I already did

"We're in our element..." "No."- shakes head

Tre was fantastic singers in Mo thugs

More bone thugs pls

When he said why did they kill my dog? The word dog is street slang for friends.

Big Eazy fan. Listened to Bone a lot more then Gang Starr. Picked the last though, expected you would pick that corny Crossroads song. Should’ve done something from creepin on ah come up to get those high synths and better picture of what is also Bone. Keep the guy on the right, even though he is like my grandma at a Larp party. That’s what makes this channel. Who wants consensus, right?

Just so you Barbara Streisand loving fools know... this song topped the charts in 3 different music genres at the same time. This comment is more mild than your taste in music compared to what some Bone fans will end up posting on this video.

When he says kill my dog he’s referring to a friend not an actual dog 😂

DAWG = FRIEND just like ROAD DOG friend who spent lot of time with a person traveling getting around.

There’s a lot going on in this video yes. But the little baby was lazyie Bones son. That passed away. Yall should check out. The cross roads. The Original. That song was about their friend Willy that passed away.

The music is a sample from The Isley's "Make me say it again girl" Simple chords by one of the greatest bands

They even have a song with Phil Collins, "Home" check it out..

The whitest reaction I ever seen in my life 🤣🤣🤣

When he said "killed my dog" he meant dog as in "friend" ....... Dog = Friend

More Bone Thugs!!!

LoL.BONE THUGS AND HARMONY 4LIFE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Y'all funny asf but this like explaining my music to my boys who in their 20s😂 much love

Lol bone is one of the GREATEST groups of all time facts

Dog=dawg=homie=friend. They killed his FRIEND 🤦🏽‍♂️

They ate one of the best to ever do it! This song was a major hit!

_6:10__ He said in the song why they kill my dog, meaning my Homie, or my best friend_

Dead souls, nigga, this for Wally Eazy, C's Uncle Charlie Little Boo, but God's got him And I'm gonna miss everybody I done roll with blows like AIDS Looked at him while he laid and prayed But destiny played too deep for me to say Little Layzie came to me Told me if he should decease, "well, then please Bury me by my Gran Gran And when you can, come follow me"

Krayzie Bone did a song "Take It Easy" which has a Commadors sample

Are you guys from america? Because if you are, It’s amazing how much one half of the duo says he doesn’t know what’s being said and can’t relate when it comes to his own countrymen whenever you’re listening to rap artists who are Black. I’m from a different country and I understand and relate just fine.

No dogs were harmed in the song. His friend was killed.

Bone thugs are talent that alot of musicians don't have in the new generation

Not sure if anyone mentioned.. But that opening part was by Tre, an R&B group of Mo Thug Records(record co started by Bone in the mid-90's)

Love all your videos and content and already subscribed to your channel. Much love ❤❤ from North East India 🇮🇳🇮🇳 Cheers 👍👍

Love the Analyzation

Just stick to ur own culture and don't bash this great groups legacy with disrespect. U guys been under a rock bc this song has been at mostly every funeral for ages now...

What makes this song so great is that it's all about the melody and the back up harmonies. It's super rare in rap.. esp in today's rap lol. This song is a masterpiece. Sad, the guy on the right doesn't seem impressed.

This Song Won A Grammy! Bone Thugs Sold Over 50 Million This’s One Of My Favorite Rap Groups! Please Do More Research On Bone They’re Not Singers They Rap With Harmony, It’s A Big Difference I Don’t Know Whats Up With You Guys Maybe HipHop Rap Isn’t For You 😂 I’ve Been A Big Bone Fan Since 1993 No Need To Be Disrespect!! Put Some Respect On Bone Name… I Was About To Subscribe But After Listening To Y’all I Can’t Do It Now No Hate I Wish Y’all Nothing But Success💯💯

The other guy seems like he always looking for confirmation from the glasses guy, maybe this is when your too smart for the music and just over analyze everything.

I think when they meant “Why’d they kill me dog” means his friend, it’s a term used to refer to a friend and it’s more of a”Dawg” not “dog”

The Commodores were the name of the group at which Lionel Richie was a member of.

****** The Female Group in the Intro. is TRE {French for 3.] WOW! Rappers that SING! Consider Enough a MASTERPIECE that the Video WON a GRAMMY for "BEST RAP PERFORMANCE" in 1997. KRAYZIE BONE Has Been Clocked as One of the 3 FASTEST RAPPERS i the World.

Budah lovaz great harmonies

That is Gospel and Soul. It's like good ol blues and how loose they are with tuning.

Bone Thugs in Dorian, 😂. You guys are such band nerds. Don't feel bad im a band nerd too though!😂

My First Favorite Foreign Rap and My mo. 1 Foreign Rap Group... I Live in Phillipines..🫡

And I miss my uncle Charles yaaalllll 😂

Dog doesnt mean dog like woef..hahaha dog is his friend ( its slang )

They started by the name bone enterprise cd tilte is faces of death

Great reaction but for bone thugs definitely recommend lyrics videos or having the lyrics pulled up

Lol geez

No autotune

JFC the whitest reaction I've seen to this song 😂 Eazy-E signed BTNH to his label Ruthless Records

if you want harmony...listen to buddah lovaz by bone thugs n harmony.

Please more Bone thugs...if you like the more melodic style try...DAYZ OF OUR LIVES or SHOOT EM UP...if you like more hard core rap try ETERNAL or East1999...love to hear musicians take on bone...there best songs are produced by DJ- UNEEK who has some amazing Instrumentals

I was really into this video until I hrard the term RnB, Bone is actually a hip hop, who's rhyme patterns are similar to a TechNine or Twista. The only difference is Bone started using more harmonies once their second album "E.99 Eternal" came out. Also, when they speak of their dawg getting killed, they're not talking about the animal "dog" its a reference to his homie, or his friend. Definitely gotta get more into hip hop language before you react to hip hop jams or the video will come off a lil weird. Its all love tho, I enjoyed the video, just wanted to point those things out, keep rhem coming...

Wake up there are so many messages in their songs

𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙧𝙖𝙥 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙥 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧!

You can tell who is a true fan of music by how many different types of music you can appreciate and pick out the things they like about it bc they’re fans of instruments Melodies flow etc. Y’all making the PNW look bad lol I’m from Portland we grew up on rap music but we also liked other types of music as well- primarily rap tho. I wouldn’t go as far to say bone thugs are some of the best MCs but they’re a group of poor young kids from Cleveland who came together and made many hits and sold many records and are regarded as legends in the game. And their style of rapping and harmonizing was very unique.

🐐 🐐 Flesh is still making good music 🔥🔥

Well this Journey is going to be fun 😊 You had me with “Why do I feel like you’re messing with me right now” 😅😅 Eazy-E has been dead for like 30 years.

"Dog" as in "homie".... why they had to kill my dog 🫣

😂😂😂 I got one of my 2 Noise ordinance violation tickets thumping this in my old Foxbody 5.0 low rider back when it came out. 😂😂😂 I use to collect them and hang them from my rear view mirror.

I like the part of the song where they said stuff that I can't understand 🤣

I had to google the lyrics. They rape so fast. But the lyrics are great

how they fell off the face is beyond me. this song was great!

you guys should react to z-ro songs. He can rap and sing. I would suggest songs like "The Geto featuring Bun B" or "MurdererxLanlawd"

So sad these guys don’t get the sound So unfortunate

His "dog" means his homie, lol

They killed his Dog. Meaning his friend.

It’s called creativity, lots of things going on, but only creative minds can catch the lyrics, the cross overs and paint a picture. None of those weak rules 1-2 whatever. Different culture, white folks uses 1-2 cha cha for dances while everyone else dance to the rythme.

Put some respect on bone thugs n harmony name!!!!
