Daily Smooth: Bone Thugs-n-Harmony - Tha Crossroads

As far as best rap groups of all time go Bone Thugs are up there with legends like Run-D.M.C., N.W.A. and Public Enemy.

This is Bone Thugs-n-Harmony's biggest song, and also their most distinctive. If you listen to the album it comes from - the masterpiece that is E. 1999 Eternal - it sounds very different to the rest of the material. The beat is soft and a medium tempo and there is a classic catchy chorus.

Bone's signature smooth, but rapid flow is ever-present and this contrasts so nicely against the beat.

Very few rappers can match the pace of Bone Thugs - especially Krayzie Bone.

This song is dedicated to Bone Thugs' mentor and manager of sorts, Eazy-E.

I think it is fitting that such a legendary rapper has such an amazing song written for him.
