Bone Thugs

[MirrorInTheSky]

Ok, am I totally out of the loop here??? My roommate just played the new Bone Thugs-N-Harmony album. They've done a song w/ The Chain. It's not just a sample of the Chain, they have totally layered a hip hop/rap song over The Chain and it gave me chills. They call it "Wind Blows". Does everyone already know about this?

I didn't even know they were still making albums, lol.

Thanks for posting. It's fully non weak, I really like it. When listening to the lyrics, I'm suprised they used Chain, and so much of it - it doesn't seem to relate. But who cares? They used Chain, and the song sounds really good. Rappers and Mac - 2grttststhttstgrt2gthr. Bone Mac n' Harmony.

[The Chain]

I personally think it's awsome. As a huge fan of the mac and bone thugs, I personally never thought the two worlds would ever collide - or if it would even work. But it's got an awsome flow and I think it's just another great showcase of what the mac can do, and their ability to harmonize.

[desertangel]

I liked it and the other songs enough to buy the CD today... 's-ok... makes up for the severe lack in Linkin Park's new CD, which I did NOT buy. :laugh:

I heard it a couple weeks ago and liked it instantly. and at least it will bring FMac into another genre and tons of people that would've never heard them.

I love it! :thumbsup:

I cant believe this!!:mad: :mad: The world is coming to an end. Who the F**K do these people that call themselves "Artists" think they are by taking dog**** music like Hip Hop and trying to mix it with a great song like the Chain? UNBELIEVEABLE!!!:mad:

[shackin'up]

It's a very dumb combination, that never really fits during the song, but still I like it a lot:confused: :confused: :confused:

The only thing that irritates the sh*t out of me is rapping over the coolest bassline ever. They should've left it open there....And that guitarending isn't lindsey's....or is it?:confused: :confused:

Whoa...stand back, stand back. I think they've creatively merged two genres of music. I don't generally like rap, but this is such a unique collaboration...it really does give me chills.

[desertangel]

The liner notes credit use of the song sample as written by Lindsey Buckingham, Michael Fleetwood, Annie McVie, John McVie and Stephanie Nicks. I don't know much about credits for use of song samples, but I assume obviously at least this one uses the registered names.

Fair enough. But it's my opinion that the world's not going to end. :wavey:

[Livia]

I just bought the ringtone - thanks for posting that link.

David, even though you don't care for it - consider that it's still a huge compliment to FM that a hip-hop artist even wanted to sample anything from their catalog.

[carrie721]

well ok, but your reaction seemed a little drastic for the situation ... :laugh:

[mikeschmike]

I'm really not a fan of Bone Thugs, but I like this! It's probably my favorite BTH song, seeing as the other ones are mostly crap! :lol:

I completely agree :distress: I just dont understand how people really think that rap is a form of music {JMO}, I dont hate rappers, and I dont disrespect them, just the themes of the music, plus its not easy to sing to :laugh:

also, you just dont ruin a great song like 'The Chain'..EVER....
or any Fleetwood Mac {lets include beatles in this too} for that matter...

[foxyluva]

I love this. It doesn't really seem to fit the song, but I like the Bone Thugs, so I like this...

[TrueFaith77]

The harmonizers of hiphop should pay the debt to the great harmonizers of rock 'n roll. The sampled song layers metaphor, like links in a chain:

slavery -> perseverence -> the blues -> social discord (usually expressed as the "mystery to me" of female sexuality) -> special sensitivity -> music (as symbolized by "harmonizing") -> the chain that holds both the mac and btnh together

Furthermore, the mac represent the last era (from the Mac to MJ) where pop artists strove to unify a large "mass" audience while recognizing and bearing the burdens of the age.

That's a profound legacy to which Bone Thugs pay homage, while likening their own misfortunes (two fallen band members) to contemporary lack of fraternal feeling. Say you will, indeed. . .

I thought I would hate this...but oddly I didn't. I rather enjoyed it!

[GateandGarden]

I had to check it out after I read all the comments here...but I just can't get into it. It feels like it doesn't work. It seems like a cool idea, but I really think the original is worlds better. "The Chain" is one of those few songs that I still view as a masterpiece even though I'm not quite the avid FM fan I used to be. Maybe I'm just too biased.

i think it's one of those things you just can't compare to the original. i don't think they were trying to remake it or anything, they were just doing their thing with it. i wonder what the members of FM would think of it.

Stevie has it on her i-pod. It reminds her of Lindsey.

I bet Lindz would probably like it. he likes when people do 'different' stuff :rolleyes:
but i dont know about the other four. they seem more...conservative if you will about the way they make music [listen to a Stevie or Chris album...and tell me if you didnt know better you might think you were listening to FM :shrug: ]

I mean...its just rap to me, so I wouldn't like it [and I am of the 'rap/emo' generartion :laugh:], I've never gotten into it. I don't think I ever will, but I do give them props I guess for trying...

[carrie721]

LMFAO. "this song reminds me of my relationship with lindsey. i listen to it an hour before my concerts."

I heard she is going to use this instead of the 'Bootylicious' intro for this tour...

yeah, i think you're right about lindsey & the other members. actually stevie might like it since she's an r&b singer at heart ... :laugh: but i hope that they would ultimately feel honored that a hip-hop group chose their 30-year-old song to sample.

I heard she is going to use this instead of the 'Bootylicious' intro for this tour...

:laugh: perfect.

Thank you. at least someone agrees with me:laugh:

i don't think anyone had any issue with your opinion ... just with how vitriolic you were in expressing it :shrug:

ok, let me just say at this juncture that i'm glad i didn't have anything liquid in my mouth when i read that. my computer is glad, too.

i think this song is kind of a cool thing. i don't love it - but i don't agree with whoever further up said it ruins the chain. or that it's practically blasphemous. i totally disagree with that. i think it's actually a nod to its genius. a sign of respect.

(but that little stevie diss still had me laughing my a$$ off! :laugh: )

[sparky]

They did some interesting stuff with the rhythm that overlays the track.
But my brain just shuts off when people start rapping. I hate it. I suppose it could have been worse, though.

[desertangel]

I can see why some people wouldn't care for this song just from a lyrical standpoint. Thankfully my brain has a hard time interpreting these types of lyrics. Theytalkway2fasanway2ghettofohmahbrayntounahstan. Probably because I don't listen to it over and over... can't or I would need a sedative. I had to Google the lyrics. Can't see any Mac members caring for it from a lyrical standpoint either. JMO.



Did someone say they bought the ringtone? How is that working out?

Well. My first college laptop was a swanky Windows XP (named Jenny). I wanted an Apple, also, partly because they're awesome and partly because they're recommended for my major (photojournalism, represent!). But I didn't want to spend that much money on one. So I spent $1000 some for the Windows laptop. :laugh:

It was fine for a while, then my school announced that Vista was available as a free download from their server, so I went ahead and downloaded and installed. The first time I tried to install, it froze up at 77% or so for about 3 hours and never went further. I tried to install again (not the best idea, but in college your computer = EVERYTHING), and it just royally killed my computer. Half the stuff that should work (sound cards, etc) didn't anymore -- and Jenny was Vista-compatible (she even had a nice sticker on her declaring such). I couldn't uninstall Vista to go back to XP. It got rid of the partition of my harddrive that had the Restore software on it, and my laptop didn't come with it in CD form. So I was screwed for a few days because Jenny just started dying.

So I took out a loan from my college (they lumped it in with my financial aid) and got me a MacBook, Kianna, which was influenced by the fact that I was using software in my journalism classes that I had tried to use on Jenny but made her freak out on me (freezing, etc). It's been a little more than 3 months since I bought it, and I've never had a problem with it and I can finally run all the programs that I couldn't on Jenny.

So in short, Vista ruined my life for a few days and then I got a MacBook and my life is complete. Now back to your regularly-scheduled thread.

that story makes me so sad and mad every time i read it. i can't believe it just fried jenny. :distress:

She's always been barely alive. :distress:

I was super angry. I don't think I'll ever go back to Windows. Kianna's kicking ass, though. I got so excited when I found out I could use InDesign without any problems. Take THAT, Jenny!!1

I hope I'm not the only one who names their computers. :o

heeee. My first iPod, may it rest in peace, was "iThink, Therefore iAm." I'm a geek.

My current iPod is Neely. Since Neely & Kianna are a team. Sort of like how my password for Jenny was "blake." Blake turns Jenny on, etc. :laugh:
