Smoke Some Kill

Mic Terror - BLDYMRDA
(From BLDYMRDA single; 2023)



File this under 'songs which are one long hook.' Some Bone Thugs-N-Mic T type shit I'm jamming in the hope its frequency will power up Krayzie Bone. Nowadays everybody always fronts like they became instant Bone fans the first time they heard Thuggish Ruggish Bone. Me, I was unconvinced until MTV started playing Foe Tha Love Of $, and then it was on like Donkey Kong and I copped Creepin' On Ah Come Up like it was T.I.'s 4th best single.

Viagra Triangle was cool also. I like Titty Song as well (lol) but wish they saved that beat. Perfect Midwest fly shit.

Someone needs to make Titty Song go viral.

naturally I have to ask about the 3 best T.I. singles according to you

Kelvin Mack10zie said...

1. 24's
2. Rubber Band Man
3. Be Easy

.. is what I was thinking. But I've reconsidered and decided that ASAP is better than Be Easy.

just to say that I really did (and still do) like Thuggish Ruggish Bone when I heard it on Westwood in 94. Everything else I heard from BTNH not so much, although I've only heard the singles and given the size of their catalogue there must be some deep cuts somewhere I'd enjoy

You should check the first EP. You'll definitely like that if you're into Thuggish Ruggish Bone.

Bone blew up so big in the midwest for a number of reasons, but one of the most important: they looked like dudes you went to school with

This Mic T song is so good. Wish more Chicago rappers leaned into that smooth playa shit that blew the city up in 96.

Kelvin Mack10zie said...

Yeah that vibe is definitely lacking nowadays 🙁

I always thought Bone wore their Carhartt and Dickies clobber a bit grimier than rappers from the West.

Let’s not forget BTH’s Rap City appearance with Bizzie Bone going nuts at the end: https://youtu.be/I8rIX8lZVrA?si=ApvLvEYkS4pAk2sR

Top 3 Rap City performance for me with the one where Cam’Ron counts his cash while rapping and a couple Lil Wayne ones that could all have a place in the spot.

I concur.
