Back in '98 I was on a hard Bone Thugs tip not so much for lyrics, b/c I was too young to understand half what they were actually referring to, but more for the beats and melodies. I copped the E 1999 Eternal album and listened to it everyday a million times over till the c.d. was warped. I also developed an obsession with Layzie Bone and was convinced that somehow my 11 year old self would get to one of their shows, meet him and he'd realize how chill I was for a kid that he'd want to be my mentor and teach me cool things about life.
Yeah that dream never came true....le sigh. I devoured every track from Faces of Death to The Art of War and now that I can really appreciate them it just kills even more that this kind of talent barely exists anymore and catching a Bone Thugs shows is never gonna happen.
