 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Bone Thugs-n-Harmony is an American hip hop group from the Glenville section of Cleveland. They are best known for their fusion of high-speed melodic, rhythmic rapping and harmonizing vocals. In 1997, the group was awarded the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance with their song "Tha Crossroads". Since its conception in the early 1990s the group has been honored with numerous other awards.Formed in the early '90s, their first album, Faces of Death, was recorded in 1993 under the name B.O.N.E. Enterpri$e. Their career took off after heading to Los Angeles in search of famous producer and N.W.A member Eazy-E. In hopes of securing a record deal, the group was given an audition over the phone receiving an unfulfilled promise from Eazy to call them back. Discovering that Eazy-E was performing back in their hometown of Cleveland, the group took a charter bus back hoping to have another chance, this time in person. The chance was given backstage as they auditioned, which resulted in them signing a contract with Ruthless Records.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Bone's music covers themes of redemption, inner city struggles, spirituality, occult mysticism, salvation, religious symbolism, and judgment of mankind. Even during the Faces of Death era the group had heavy religious overtones and symbolism. Their music also shows influence from the Book of Revelation and The Art of War.Since the Turn of the Millennium the group has teetered on the brink of collapse, with constant infighting and disputes with labels. Things finally fell apart after the release of The World's Enemy, an album that neither the group nor the fans liked. The final nail in the coffin was when the group asked Krayzie to leave (or Krayzie himself decided to leave; there's disagreement about what happened), which was followed by Wish Bone leaving too. There was talk of a new album with the remaining three, but in an August 2011 interview Flesh N Bone claimed the group was finished. In May 2012, however, all five were headlining the "Rock the Bells Tour". Despite their difficulties, the group have grown something of a cult following in their later years. The group also made an appearance during Jamie Kennedy's infamous New Year's Eve 2013 special aired by an independent station near Los Angeles.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) The group consists of five members: Krayzie Bone, AKA Leatha Face The Sawed Off Gangsta, Sawed-Off Slim (real name Anthony Henderson): The soft-spoken smooth-talker and arguably the most skilled and consistent member. Won a Grammy for his collaboration with Chamillionaire in the ringtone jam "Ridin". And without question the most popular member - much to the chagrin of other members' fans, especially Bizzy's. Has a VERY uneasy relationship with Bizzy. Layzie Bone, AKA #1 Assassin (real name Steven Howse): Arguably the de facto leader (but don't tell that to Krayzie Bone fans) on account of him being the glue that's keeping the group together. He's also the little brother of Flesh, and cousin to Wish. Wish Bone, AKA Straight Jacket (real name Charles C. Scruggs, Jr.): Perhaps the most vilified member because of his simplistic and repetitive lyrics, but some feel that he's unfairly ostracized. Like Krayzie, has a very tense relationship with Bizzy. He's also cousin to Layzie and Flesh. Bizzy Bone, AKA R.I.P. (real name Bryon McCane): The wildly unpredictable and eccentric member of the group. His mental stability has been questioned multiple times on account of his eccentricities and his multiple personas. He's flip-flopped from bloodthirsty psychopath ("Hell Sent" verse: "Its the psychopathic maniac, manglin' ladies, stick a grenade in they pussies, than start stranglin' babies.") to introspective "spiritualist" (among other personas) countless times. He's also the most polarizing member among fans. Once the show stealer and arguably the "face of the franchise", his popularity among the fans began dwindling after Thug World Order. Flesh-n-Bone, AKA The 5th Dog, Armageddon, Stack (real name Stanley Howse): The mysterious 5th member of the group whom acts as a Aloof Big Brother, and even The Sixth Ranger to the group. Cousin to Wish, and big brother to Layzie. Is considered among fans to be the underrated, third-strongest member behind Krayzie and Bizzy, and arguably right up there with both of them in the running for the group's best lyricist. Has a long history of run-ins with the law and is rumored to suffer from a mental disorder. Additional contributors: DJ U-NeekNotable songs: "Tha Crossroads"note Their biggest hit.
