Bone Thugs
 

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.

Interesting, not half bad, but then... I am a bit of a FM whore.

I think they did a pretty good job.

Yeah I really like it guys.... :o

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.

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.

amen...
 

schizzle to ya mac fanizzle g...word!!!

fan tas tic

i liked it.

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:

For some ringtone fans - http://www.bonethugsnharmony.com/rin...t.aspx?pid=109

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:

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:

dude, what the fukc? :confused:

pretty much my thoughts exactly. :laugh:

I just hate it when rappers try to do that stuff

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.

To be fair, its just my own opinion. If some one else likes it, fine.

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:

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.

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

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 thought it was always Christine. :shrug:

Yeah, sometimes I can get a llittle opinionated. 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...

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

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 just wanna squeeze your cheeks and smooch you! :xoxo: :D

Thats bad touching :mad:

hahahahahaaaaaaa. :lol: :sorry: :sorry: :sorry:

I need an adult! I need an adult! :lol:

why do i feel like i'm in some after-school special :laugh:

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

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...
