If you're looking for something truly outrageous (read: cringeworthy) then this blog post is definitely one you won't want to miss - I'm about to discuss why Bone Thugs-N-Harmony might not be as dope as we've all thought they are. So if you’re ready to binge through some questionable rhymes and ridiculous scenarios, stick around – it's sure gonna get interesting!

When it comes to hip-hop icons, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony often comes to mind. Their smooth melodic flows and clever wordplay have earned them praise, but let's be real – they have also released some of the most lyrically forgettable rap songs in history. While most fans are familiar with their popular albums like E.1999 Eternal and Creepin on Ah Come Up, a closer look at their catalogue reveals tracks that have been disregarded by fans due to their subpar content. If you're ready for a deep dive into the cringeworthy lyrics of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, then strap in because things are about to get interesting.

Firstly, let's talk about their infamous track Tha Crossroads. This song is often regarded as one of their greatest works, with its soulful melody and heartfelt lyrics. But if you really pay attention to the words, you'll notice the questionable choices of the group. The second verse is a prime example with lyrics like Gotta let 'em go with the love that the Lord has sent. While this may seem like a heartening message, it does not make much sense when you consider the rest of the song's context. It's just one of those moments where you wonder if they wrote it just to rhyme or if there was an actual message they were trying to convey.

Another track that missed the mark is 2 Glocks. This song is all about Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's love for firearms. The hook of the song goes 2 Glocks, cocked, ready for whatever. It's not very difficult to notice the glorification of guns in this track. While the group may have been trying to convey a message about self-defense, it unfortunately comes across as promoting violence and aggression. It's a shame to see that a group that is known for their smooth beats and mellow vibes would stoop down to this level.

Next up, Shoot 'Em Up. This particular song's subject matter is about, well, shooting people. It features lyrics like blow their brains out, let 'em leave a mess. The song then goes on to describe in detail how they would dispose of the bodies. While violence is not exactly a strange topic in hip-hop, this song takes it to a whole new level with its gleeful depictions of murder and death. It's hard to excuse the message here and it makes you wonder what led them to think this was an appropriate subject matter to rap about.

Another notable song that missed the mark is First of tha Month. While the song is catchy and danceable, the style is a little too lighthearted for its subject matter. The song’s lyrics focus on people who are struggling financially, highlighting the first of the month as a payday for many. While that message may have been common in 1990s hip-hop, the Bones take an unusually lighthearted approach. The song begins with: Wake up wake up, it's the first of the month/ To get up, get up, get up, get up / Cash your checks and get up. It might have worked well as a comedic skit, but as a song about financial hardship, it falls somewhat flat.

Finally, let's look at the track Foe Tha Love of Money, which is clearly about their love for money. The song features lyrics like For the love of money, we'll do anything. While this can be interpreted as a reflection of society's obsession with wealth, it's not clear if the group is making any sort of commentary on that subject. Instead, it comes across as an ode to materialism, with lyrics like Got to get that money, man, it's hotter than lava. It's a shallow take on an issue that affects many people in society.



While Bone Thugs-N-Harmony has undoubtedly left their mark in the hip-hop world, it's clear that their lyrics have aged poorly. Listening to some of their tracks now leaves a lot to be desired, particularly because of cringeworthy lyrics that haven’t stood up to the test of time. You might have to look through a lot of mediocre content for the good stuff. It's up to us to appreciate the good while acknowledging the weaker aspects of their music. As fans of hip-hop, we can learn something from this - we should hold our favorite artists accountable for their lyrics and message. While entertainment is an important aspect of music, it should never come at the expense of glorifying harmful content.
