After only 3 weeks in the studio, Bone Thugs & Harmony managed to piece together a debut EP that quickly went gold and includes a first single that has left millions humming and singing “it’s the thuggish, ruggish Bone….” Their rise to success, however, was not unplanned: it was quite simply, in their minds, just a matter of time before someone would hear them, sign ‘em, and share their talent with the rest of the hip-hop world.
The group’s journey began as all five members, after reaching a dead-end in their pursuit of a deal, decided to leave their hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. Landing in Cali, they spent four months of “getting’ their struggle on” before receiving a personal call from Ruthless Records and Eazy E. After the conversation, however, a long time would elapse before the two sides touched bases.
It wasn’t until the group’s hometown connections hooked them up as the opening act for Eazy’s show—back in Cleveland—that they spoke to Eazy again. Even then the group struggled to find Eazy backstage so they could flow for him. Once they did, it was as simple as Eazy saying “When ya’ll wanna leave?”
The group left the next day and Eazy’s album was put on hold so that the project could be released as soon as possible. The group’s tenacity no doubt played a role in their success, but it’s their talent that will allow them to maintain their success in the future. Their style bristles with originality : each beat is enhanced with a syncopated flow. In addition, they bring harmony into their rhymes, with certain portions stated in unison, resulting in an elaborate, complicated style that will be hard to duplicate—insuring Bone will remain successful for some time.
Currently living in Los Angeles, the group is working on their album. Thirteen cuts are done, and a mid ’95 release date is nearing. While some members of Bone were on a mission to enhance their, Lazy Bone and Wish Bone discussed the group’s career to date.
What are the ages of the members in the group
[WB:] We don’t tell our age.
Why don’t you like to tell?
[LB:] ‘Cause people take us for an age we really ain’t. They put us in a young ass category.
[WB:] And that’s cool though. But if we’re comin’ out like we’re all 25 or 26, we can’t get no sixteen or seventeen year old twat.
[LB:] So we just keep it personal. Incognito.
Since ya’ll brought it up: Have there been more girls around now that the record’s out?
[WB:] We always had bitches, but with this record shit? There’s just more now.
[LB:] We had some hoes, man. But it’s easy as fuck now to get some pussy.
It’s too easy?
[LB:] It is too easy.
[WB:] They will do anything. But it ain’t too easy for me ‘cause I like it like that. Let it get easier.
