History

Bone Thugs-n-Harmony's first album, with the singles "Thuggish Ruggish Bone" and "Foe tha Love of $". Features on the album include Shatasha Williams (the first Mo Thugs member) and their mentor and executive producer Eazy-E, and these collaborations began a new fad of having sung vocals for choruses and tight flowing lyrics. The first two lines of "Intro" are backwards. Played forward are "Heaven in art which Father our, Our Father which art in Heaven" Tracks 3, 4 and 6 have listed, "Keenu Songs" which is "U-Neek" spelled backwards. In The Source (8-97) article "Crossroads To Riches" Bone states that they changed their name to Bone Thugs-n-Harmony because they had a song called "Thugs-N-Harmony".

Parts of "Foe tha Love of $" (including Jewell's backing vocals) are recycled from the Yomo & Maulkie track "For the Love of Money", from their 1991 album Are U Xperienced?.[6] The closing track on Creepin on ah Come Up, "Moe Cheese", is actually the same instrumental track from Are U Xperienced?, also titled "For the Love of Money".

gollark: PotatOS's Code Safety Checker and sandboxing... happen to function... as protection against viruses because some people are silly and install those. If a virus can just uninstall it, it's easy to get around that.
gollark: I'll go for maybe 4 digit.
gollark: I have to admit it is a bit hard to type/copy the number, so I'll remove a few digits.
gollark: If you like I can turn the difficulty down.
gollark: If I had a simple "yes/no" prompt it would be possible to spoof it easily and malicious code could autouninstall it to get around potatOS's built in protection.
