Flesh-N-Bone (from Bone Thugs-n-Harmony) Recalls How Eazy-E Enabled His Addiction: "I was in there, really trying to focus on writing, Eazy had his homies coming to the studio, feeding us that poison"

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 10:43 AM PDT

In a recent interview with DX, Flesh was discussing his forthcoming memoir when he touched on his struggles with addiction, which ultimately led to trouble with the law.

"Bone Thugs-n-Harmony wanted to make it, but I had people coming around, bringing sherm or PCP or whatever the case may be," he explains. "I tried it when I was in California by myself. When I went back home to get the rest of the Bone guys, it was dudes in the hood that knew we were on our way out to go try to do something big, so they were like, 'Yo, yo, smoke this stuff. It'll help you. It's going to take your creativity to the next level."

"When we finally got with Eazy-E, he had his homeboys coming the studio while we're trying to work," he explains, recalling the time Bone Thugs connected with Ruthless Records back in 1993. "He had his homeboys bringing the same shit, the same type of poison. They'd say, 'Yo, smoke this. Smoke this.' And that's what really knocked me off my square. While I was in there, really trying to focus on writing, he had his homies coming to the studio, feeding us that poison. We had guys knowing we were trying to make it somewhere in our lives, and these type of people kept coming around, feeding us this type of poison. And I feel that it took me off my square."

Unconventional GOATs?

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 10:26 PM PDT

Do you have any goats in your personal top 5 that are outside the normal rappers that people choose, or any controversial takes?

For me personally it's Dizzee Rascal. I would personally call him my favourite rapper of all time, possibly tied with DOOM. His story-telling, butter smooth flow, production (believe it or not even to this day he self-produced a lot of his work) and overall innovation are unmatched even by a lot of the top American rappers.

Obviously his debut is an absolute classic in the UK scene but his other work is nothing to sniff at either. Showtime was a super solid follow up to Boy In Da Corner and then top off the fact that both of those albums are self-produced.

His new work has been seeing noticeable improvement too post his late 2000s/early 2010s fall off. I believe that he's managed to claw his way back to the top of the pack with Raskit and E3 AF being really solid albums with some fantastic standout tracks between them (Ghost, Don't Be Dumb, God Knows, Business Man).

He's managed to prove that he's still one of the best rappers on the planet with the aforementioned Don't Be Dumb and verses like his feature on Blessed by Ocean Wisdom showcasing a talent and finesse that few other rappers can claim to match.

Who is your unconventional choice for goat?

[DISCUSSION] DMX - Exodus (One Week Later)

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 09:54 AM PDT

A week has passed, the reviews are in:

Rolling Stone: 3/5 – DMX Becomes Posthumous Product With 'Exodus': Despite glimmers of the late rapper's greatness, this falls short of becoming the fitting final statement his legacy deserves.

NME: 3/5 – a reminder of the late rapper's impact: This guest-filled posthumous record celebrates a rich musical legacy

The Guardian: 4/5 –a bold and bleak posthumous finale: The New York rapper, who died in April, is strong and unsettling over grimy, atonal production, with guest turns from Alicia Keys, Jay-Z and Bono

Pitchfork: 5.8 – Though it's full of guests and emotional twists and turns, the late rapper's posthumous album is largely sloppy and inconsequential, a sour note to bookend a storied legacy.

HipHopDX: 4.1/5 – DMX'S 'EXODUS' IS A PAINFUL REMINDER THE RUFF RYDERS LEGEND WASN'T DONE HERE

Variety – DMX's Posthumous 'Exodus' Is a Strong, Moving Final Chapter

Exclaim – On 'Exodus,' DMX Finally Finds Meaning in His Suffering

RapReviews.com: 6.5 –

AllMusic: 3.5

Clash: 8/10

  • This is the highest scored DMX album on Metacritic (they don't have pre-Great Depression albums on there), how does it stack up against his previous work?
  • Some reviews have suggested that DMX is outshined by his features – do you agree?
  • What's X's best performance on this?
  • Favorite moment on the record?
  • How do you think this stacks up in the pantheon of posthumous albums?

[FIRST IMPRESSIONS] BROCKHAMPTON - ROADRUNNER: NEW LIGHT, NEW MACHINE PLUS PACK

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 09:44 AM PDT

Do the new tracks fit on the album?

Favorite? Least favorite?

The dust has sort of fallen on the album itself: How has your opinion changed? How do you rank it with other stuff that's dropped this year.

How does it compare to recent stuff from others who keep it loose with genre and market themselves similarly to BK (Paris Texas, AG Club, BLACKSTARKIDS, Seeyousoon!, 99 Neighbors)? Is BK still ahead of the pack?

Is this album a step forward or more of a return to form?
