Krazy bone from Bone Thugs in Harmony would absolutely know. They had some hit uplifting songs but never gained bigger popularity. My guess is because they wouldn’t conform to the narrative.
Bone Thugs (in particular, Krayzie) are/were the best of all. Absolute gold. I always wondered if Eazy-E’s connection to them ironically ended up hurting their career. Them and Public Enemy are my favorite of the genre. Public Enemy is what rap and hip-hop used to be in the late 80s/early 90s almost bordering on industrial music, insane and groundbreaking what they were doing with samplers. “Heavy Metal Hip Hop”
