Creepin On A Come Up 3.5 Mic Review The Source Magazine 1994

Creepin On Ah Come Up
Ruthless/Relativity
Production Eazy-E, Yella, DJ Uneek, Rhythm D
3.5 Mics
If it seems like Eazy E is pushing a new group every week on his record company, Ruthless Records, it's because he just about does. To his credit, only a couple of these records are outright wack-the much-
hyped and extremely corny Blood of
Abraham and Hoez Wit Attitude spring to
mind very quickly-but it's just so damn
many of them that diamonds in the rough
like Pistol or Kokane get drowned out. But
just when you thought that Eazy was going
to be on some straight gimmick shit, here
comes Bone Thugs N Harmony, five broth-
ers-all between 18 and 22-out of St.
Claire, East 99th Street in Cleveland.
If you catch the single, "Thuggish
Ruggish Bone," on the radio, they might
sound suspiciously gimmick-like with their
machinegunning sing-songy style, but don't
confuse them with the Long Beach crew.
Bone are anything but laid-back. Unlike
Warren G and Domino's albums-which
sound great at first but hold no real surpris-
es over repeated listenings (I mean, does
the world really need two Warren G
albums?)-it is well-worth your effort to put
some time into this EP.
They spit their lyrics out quickly, shifting
their cadence at every turn. It is their ability
to pause to extend some syllables or speed
up to rush others out that'll mess with your
head. While much has been made of the
opera-like nature of "Thuggish Ruggish
Bone," the bottom line is that these broth-
ers have quality lyrics underneath their
novel approach to the mic. "No Surrender"
would just be another cop-bashing song if it
weren't for the eerie chorus and fat lyrics
like ... uh, like, uh. .. whatever it is that
nigga is talking about. It's the kind of album
where you can make out most of the lyrics if
you pay dues, but you wouldn't want to go
out on a limb and try to transcribe them.
Atmosphere is as important here as any-
thing that comes out of their mouths. Every
effort is made to add to the album's sinister
air. The bass beats groan, moan, crawl and
creep. There are plenty of minor chords and
the vocals are pressed into the mix.
We'll see if they can keep all of this
interesting enough to sustain an entire
album. But in the meantime, these five
songs will do the trick just fine.
