32 years ago Eazy E discovered and sign to his label a group called “Bone Thugs & Harmony from Cleveland Ohio composed of rappers “Bizzy Bones, Wish Bone, Layzie Bone, Krayzie Bone and Flesh-n-Bone in 1993, but was formed as a group in 1991. Their EP “Creepin on Ah Come Up” was released in 1993. The following year “Bone Thugs & Harmony” released their crushing hit “Thuggish Ruggish Bone”. In 1995 Bone Thugs & Harmony released their second album entitled “E. 1999 Eternal” which included the hits “1st of the Month”, E. 1999, and the hit song a tribute to the late Eazy E “The Crossroads” which won a Grammy Award 1997. They also released “The Art Of War”, “The Resurrection,” “Thug World Order” , “Thug Stories” etc.… Bone Thugs & Harmony was the only group to work with Tupac Shakur, Notorious B.I.G, Eazy E and Big Pun while they were all still alive.
They were ranked #12 at About.com on a list of the 25 best rap groups of all time and MTV called them “The most melodic hip hop group of all time”. Other awards that they won over the years, 1997 they won performed by a Duo Group, favorite rap/hip-hop artist and video of the year for “Crossroads” . in 1998 they won again for favorite rap/hip-hop artist. In 2007 they won favorite rap/hip-hop band and duo or group.
So night at the Filmore, they packed it to the front and back. Standing in front lights go out. You hear the DJ say Detroit are you ready for the one of the greatest Hip-Hop groups give it up for Bone Thugs & Harmony. They come out blazing like it was their first show, energy strong and hard. I loved how they just kept that going throughout the show and they seem never gotten tired like they were still young. They did songs like E.1999, “Thuggish Ruggish Bone”, 1st of the Month, For the love $, weed song and Bone, Bone, Bone. They also did a tribute to the late “Eazy E” such as “We want Eazy”, “Eazy-Duz-it” and “100 miles a running”. Bone Thugs and Harmony also did a tribute to Nortorious B.I.G. performing “Nortorious Thugs”. When I Say this show was amazing WOW. I hope they stay together and keep giving us these hits with a new album.
