It began when 5 people was desperate and hungry for money and they went by the name of Anthony Henderson(krayzie bone) Byron McCrane(bizzy bone) Steven Howse(layzie bone) Charles Scruggs(wish bone) & Stanley Howse(flesh-n-bone) strugglin to feed themselves they formed the group Bone Thugs N Harmony (first named Band Aid Boys then B.O.N.E. Enterpri$e) in search of a record deal they phoned the now deceased Eazy-E and krayzie bone freestyled over the phone for him and he had told the boys he was gone get back with them but he didn't. When bone had heard that Eazy-E was in town doing a concert they collected money and booked some tickets for a one-way ticket to LA and founded him backstage and performed this time in person for him, so eventually he sign the boys. They got down to business right after Eazy-E singed the fellows and immediate;y begin recording their first album Creepin On Ah The Come Up with the first single Thuggish Ruggish Bone which they went platinum off of. Bone would go ahead and sell more than 4 million copies worldwide off of Creepin On Ah Come Up. As they was preparing to release their second album Eazy-E had died of AIDS on March 26 1995 so they had made a tribute called Tha Crossroads which knock Michael Jackson off the chart for #1 and ended up tying the beatles record for the #1 fastest rising single. They re released E.1999 Eternal because the single was so big and went on to sell over 6 million copies worldwide. Krayzie Bone & Layzie Bone had decided to come up with their own label and they formed Mo Thug Records and released an album the same year called Family Scriptures which sold over 2 million copies. The same year Bone Thugs N Harmony member Flesh-N-Bone dropped his solo album titiled T.H.U.G.S. which appeared on the Billboard Chart at # 23 and later would go Gold. Bone then released their third album The Art of War(2 disc) with their Gold single Look Into My Eyes followed by their second single If I Could Teach The World which also went Gold and troubles started during The Art Of War with the group members about how bizzy bone didn't show up on perfomences and videos. Despite The Art of War selling over 5 million copies worldwide trouble started with Ruthless Records and how Eazy-E Wife Tomica Wright owed them over millions of dollars. After The Art of War Layzie Bone & Krayzie Bone produced two Mo Thug Artist, II Tru- A New Breed Of Female which only sold about 150,000 copies and Poetic Hustlaz- Trials & Tribulations which only sold over 200,000. Another Bone member Bizzy Bone decided to go solo on his project Heaven'z Movie with his smash single Thugz Cry which helped the album go Gold followed by the second Mo Thugs album Family Reunion with new and improve artist that helped them sold about 4 million copies with their smash single All Good. Krayzie Bone had formed his own record label called Thugline Records and prepared to release his first solo album Thug Mentality 1999(2 disc) which went platinum in just 2 weeks and sold over 2 million copies worldwide. Bone Thugs camed back to release their fourth album BTNHResurrection, while having troubles with the company about money owed to them they still manage to go Platinum. Then Flesh-N-Bone was charged and sentenced to 11 years in prison while followed by his second solo album 5th Dog Let Loose which only sold about 130,000 copies. Krayzie Bone decided that he no longer wanted to be with Mo Thug because he had has own lable Thugline Records Layzie Bone took over Mo Thug records in serach of new talent he found a couple of artist and produced Mo Thugs third album The Mothership which did a poor job by only selling about 200,000 copies. Three Bone members had decided to drop solo albums in 2001, two memebrs(layzie bone & bizzy bone) drop their album on the same date. Layzie Bone album Thug By Nature sold poorly as it barely sold over 200,000 copies while Bizzy Bone sued Loud records & Ruthless Records and left Ruthless Records to record his second solo album on AMC which sold about 330,000 copies. Later that year Krayzie Bone released his second solo album called Thug On Da Line which sold about 400,000 copies. Bone Thugs N Harmony was still complaining about Ruhtless Records and the money they still haven't paid them so Bone Thugs N Haromny left Ruthless Records for a while until Ruthles Records sued them for leaving before their contract expired so Tomica Wright(the owner of Ruthless Records)met up with Bone to talk and she agreed to pay them back and give them want they want so they signed back with th record label and are preparing to release their long waited fifth album Thug World Order which includes the artist Avant, Mr.Kane and they have 3LW on their first single off Thug World Order Get Up and Get It. |
