Mo Thugs Vol.3 (The Mothership) [PA] - Layzie Bone

Advantages: Original
Disadvantages: Little variation

...Although not strictly the first album they released together, “E 1999 Eternal” (referencing the executive producer and record label owner Eazy-E who guided them through this before dying of AIDS earlier in the year) was the official debut from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony a rare Cleveland , Ohio rap group who chose to opt with the West Coast style as they performed with five of the area’s best MCs: Flesh-N-Bone, Krayzie Bone, Layzie Bone, Bizzie Bone and Wish Bone. 1. “Da Introduction” 2. “East 1999” To get things going properly, you have them dropping a track where they show their main influences by merging the West Coast g-Funk of around this time (although mainly prior to this), and from here, they also introduce a little Horrocore, a style which they chose not to associate with as they dissed Three 6 Mafia (one of the biggest acts in this...

The Band formed in 1995 and released their Debut album Mate. Feed. Kill in 1996. The band came up with the nickname Maggots for their fans because when they perform live they believe that the fans are feeding off their music and they jump around alot and according... Read review
