🎶Bone Thugs-n-Harmony released 'Tha Crossroads' 30 years ago, April 30, 1996

@robertliefeld This era was the high watermark of hip hop before the flood of talent receded and the industry drowned in a sea of mumble rap.

Dedicated to Eazy..

“Damn, man, I miss my Uncle Charles, y'all.”

How many people know that this isn’t the original version of the song? I bought E. 1999 Eternal right when it came out. This song was totally different from the album version. I think later albums had this version. I believe it was changed after Eazy-E died.

I still miss my uncle Charles yall.

Classic song, but too freekin depressing 😓 to be playing like that.

Tomorrow, I’m going to wake up. It’s the first of tha month.

My brother died May 29, 1996. He kept telling me about this song. I didn’t hear it until after he died😩

In the 90’s I did not understand how my dad and his friends could talk about these Beatles and Stones songs from the 60’s as if they were only just released a few years back. Now I understand

Now tell me whatcha gonna do When there ain't no where to run (tell me what) (When judgment comes for you, when judgment comes for you) And whatcha gonna do? When there ain't no where to hide (tell me what) When judgment comes for you ('cause it's gonna come for you) 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 rolled with blows like AIDS Looked at him while he laid and prayed But destiny played too deep for B to say Lil' 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" God bless you workin' on a plan to heaven Follow the Lord all twenty-four-seven days, God is who we praise Even though the Devil's all up in my face But He keepin' me safe and in my place Say grace to the gates we race Without a chance to face the judge Then I guess my soul won't budge Grudge because there's no mercy for thugs Ooh, what could I do?

Crazy how this turned into modern country music.

And tomorrow. First of DA Month. Bang!!!

16 just started driving this single cassette tape got so hot in my car it warped. When I put the tape in my radio cassette player it got stuck. Had to listen to this song over and over for months so I was over it after that but will listen to it now 😂

Did you know that the original Crossroads sounded completely different? Like this.

wtf I randomly listened to this today

Honestly one of the best rap songs ever.

The Box staple

@beatingthebook @KelleyBydlon found this in high school hits so hard today!!! @ChanceCopperpot @BooThisManN I need @TWishnev on this did you hear Bone Thugs? @FezzikSports

They were so good. Still listen to almost daily.

No Skips on this album

Blasted in my Cleveland neighborhood all summer long.
