Just taking a stroll down memory lane. I know some of y'all checked BTNHboard and Steve's website for news after bonethugsnharmony.com stopped being updated, lol. When MySpace wasn't dependent and the boom of YouTube wasn't in existence I remember going on BizzyBoneMusic.com and BTNHcentral before coming to BTNHboard. Links: web.archive.org/web/20070622052822/http://www.a-2-zentertainment.com/Bone%20Thugs~n~Harmony.htmlweb.archive.org/web/20031204095708/http://www.a-2-zentertainment.com/news.htmlSome goodies: Self explanatory The Krayzie Bone track (One Day At A Time feat. The Outlawz) ended up not making the Tupac: Resurrection soundtrack and the Bone/Outlawz album ended up being just a Layzie & Noble record, released in late-2006. When Tomica took over she immediately got rid of everybody and kept Bone (confirmed by Arabian Prince on VladTV). They were the final artists with ties to Eazy's era. Ruthless released Bone’s Greatest Hits a year later and stayed on the Billboard 200 for almost a year (47 weeks). Ruthless went on to sign Hopsin, Stevie Stone, and 2-3 more acts in 2007 in an attempt to relaunch. As of today Ruthless is still operating probably just collecting Bone/NWA streaming residuals and other publication royalties. The lights are on, but nobody is home... Tech N9ne secured a long-term deal for Strange Music with Fontana Distribution (now INgroove) and has since dominated the independent scene and maintained a relationship with the thugs (Midwest Choppers 2, Speed of Sound, references in MMM, Bone opening up for him in Fresno for the Strictly Strange Tour 2017). And the new home for Bone turned out to the Full Surface and Interscope. What was meant to be God's Speed (rock rap album) ended up getting scrapped when he couldn't clear the big named samples (ie Man In A Box, Welcome To The Jungle). Take A Trip (Feat. Thin C) made it on Startin From Scratch: How A Thug Was Born and Fight (Feat. Thin C) leaked, but we never heard of that project again. Swizz Beatz makes a cameo appearance in the Hip Hop Baby video (New York show at BB Kings) in early 2005 which started the rumors of him interested in signing Bone. Krayzie finally links up with Twista for The Notorious BIG's Duets: The Final Chapter and gets his redemption from being cut on Tupac: Resurrection soundtrack with Untouchable on Pac's Life (both songs assisted by Swizz Beatz). Krayzie goes on a guest featuring spree in 2005-06 and wins a Grammy in Feb 2007 for Ridin. Missez gets dropped from Interscope and Out Of Time gets re-recorded by Layzie's wife Felecia
