Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
It's somehow appropriate that Ruthless Records' first release since the death of its founder, Eazy-E, would come from Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, a Cleveland-based crew that mixes the smooth L.A. gangsta grooves Eazy helped create with the group's spooky fascination with the afterlife. It's as if Eazy still talks to the members of Bone--Krayzie, Layzie, Bizzy, Wish, and Flesh N'--through their beloved Ouija board. And, it seems, even in death the gangsta rap pioneer isn't a bit repentant.

Following last year's multiplatinum EP, Creepin' on Ah Come Up, Bone have put together a debut long-player that builds on everything the first record promised. That is, E.1999 Eternal contains some of the most beautiful music you'll ever be repulsed by. Bone's vocal style is so tuneful and harmonically coordinated that it sounds more like a ghostly chant/sing than like traditional rap. But like Boyz II Men's evil twins, Bone offer up a complex potion of bittersweet crooning and poisonous rapid-fire rhyming that takes us deep into the dark side of life and the twisted side of death. That E.1999 Eternal is so musical only makes its noxious lyrical content all the more subversive. --Roni Sarig

5.0 out of 5 stars A sprawling masterpiece....., February 22, 2000

By	Daniel "dan222" (Cali) - See all my reviews

To say this is a classic album would be a gross understatement. Few hip hop albums are as influential and groundbreakin' as this. Probably Bone's finest work to date (Art Of War is great too though). They took more time on this album than on Creepin On Ah Come Up. The beats are more complex and sophisticated, as seen in the beautiful flute work of Eternal, No Shorts/No Losses, Mo Murda, and Tha Crossroads, all produced by the one and only DJ Uneek. The songs portray the album concept, of how Bone tells the story of street life in their native Cleveland, Ohio. It is their ghetto diary, of of pain and struggle. Their lyrics are hardcore on here, but are were also a reality for them at the time. Its too bad that todays hip hop doesnt produce albums of this caliber and critically acclaimed status. Its been almost 5 years, and i still listen to it like it was brand new. All the songs on here are nicely constructed. Bone took gangsta rap and put harmony into it, and with Uneek behind the boards, they have created a COMPLETLY new style of hip hop. Though Creepin On Ah Come Up came out first, this was the album to revolutionize the Bone style. The combo of Bone's unique style and Dj Uneeks production skills makes for an unstoppable combo. From the Intro to Shotz, the listener taken on a journey through Clevelands roughest ghetto, but from a safe distance. Ive never seen a cd constructed with such pyro-technic skill and brillaincy. This should be a Amazon.com MUST-HAVE recording. Buy it now if you havent! Its simply the greatest album EVER made.

P.S. Go pick up Bone's new album, BTNHressurection, on Feb 29th (the day it comes out)!

I must say, you can't get ANYMORE quality than this album. It's Bone's greatest achievement, for sure. It is the GREATEST album of all time, as a matter of fact. In my mind, this album is absolutely perfect. I'd give it a 1,000,000/10, if I could.

Just as well, Bone ARE real. You won't hear them rapping about "hoes," the diamonds in their ears, pink rings, sex (well, every now & then, they mention it), "bling, bling," their fancy cars, or any other bull that these new rappers ALL rap about. More than anything, though, they have the talent to be true rappers. They are the greatest rappers to ever be in the game. As far as skill goes, absolutely UNDEFEATABLE.

You can't be a Rap fan and not have this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely one of the best cds to grace the rap industry!!, November 19, 2006

By	Brenda James "nitemare" (OH) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

E 1999 Eternal is truly(if not the) one of the best CDs to grace the rap industry...So Hardcore, yet so melodic and smooth at the same time with heart-felt, hood influenced, deeply thought lyrics across the whole album. There is no way that you will pick up this project and not enjoy it!! And that comes from a me as a Cleveland rapper (you have to know how hard it is to impress somebody of the same industry) Once i pop in this cd i don't need to skip a single track..even the skit Mr. Ouija is a hit...how many people can do that?
