Trivia / Bone Thugs-n-Harmony

• Black Sheep Hit: "Ghetto Cowboy", and to a lesser extent "Tha Crossroads". The latter giving them Contractual Purity in some fans eyes
• Creative Differences: Usually with record labels, and sometimes each other.
• Development Hell:
  • A lot of their own artists have yet to release albums (save for 2 groups). Some eventually left their label.
  • Uni5: The World's Enemy album. It went through a frustrating amount of delays and pushbacks. Originally scheduled for a early 09 release but was perpetually pushed back to May of 2010. Where finally, finally, the hell stopped and the Thugs became real people.
• Executive Meddling: One of the group's major problems.
  • According to Krayzie, as a matter of fact, aside from Bizzy being such a Wild Card, this is THE reason why Bone will never reestablish themselves in the mainstream again.
• Follow the Leader: A LOT of rappers with a similar style as Bone started to pop up after their success, lending their case for more respect MUCH credibility.
• Keep Circulating the Tapes: The Bone Thug Affiliates mixtape that had tracks by Bone Thugs and the solo spinoffs, some of which haven't appeared on any other release of any kind. It was hard to find for many years, even in less-than-legal areas of the net, and copies of it sell for high figures.
• What Could Have Been:
  • Most fans wonder about what the group could have been if they managed to keep it together, despite the internal conflicts, and avoided Executive Meddling. Also see Development Hell.
  • A lot of fans felt that they, and other Midwestern rappers, missed a golden opportunity to form a strong coalition similar to the east, south, and west coast scene. Instead they beefed with each other during most of the mid 90's. Their one time rival Twista so much as admitted that they screwed up:
  "Steady trippin' and bitchin' over styles, when we should've been gettin' gwap, I ain't no muthafuckin' ho about it."
