Bone Thugs-n-Harmony bit their whole steez from Freestyle Fellowship Sure, why not? Style-biting is generally pretty open to interpretation, but who else but the Fellowship was busting that hyperfast, sing-songy steez back then? Nobody, that's who. At least nobody of any consequence. So how did a bunch of stoners with bad perms from Cleveland come to bite everybody's favorite L.A. backpackers? We're guessing the Good Life Cafe, home to many a Fellowship rhyme workout, is the missing link. Lots of heavyweights outside of your typical gangstafied artsy-fartsy Project Blowed soaked up the Good Life. Ice Cube, for example, was a regular spectator. So why wouldn't Cube's ol' buddy Eazy-E take his latest wick-wack proteges to the same spot to soak up some knowledge? Granted, even the corniest Blowedian wouldn't come with something as corny as that harmonized "bonebonebonebone, bone, booooooone" ****, but the similarities are too close for comfort. And Abstract Tribe Unique's "L.A. Styles Back," a not-too-thinly veiled dig at some g-ed up doo-wopping biters, backs up the idea. Besides, Self Jupiter could singlehandedly whip all the Bone Scrubs' asses, so whatever he says goes in this argument. http://www.wutang-corp.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14087 The roots of Project Blowed can be traced back to the late '80s and a health-food store on Crenshaw Boulevard called the Good Life. The store held a weekly open-mike night during what's commonly viewed as the genesis of modern freestyling. Up until then, freestyling had been defined as rapping prewritten verses over new beats. And while there was always room for improvisation, that wasn't really the focus. But the MCs who formed the nucleus of the Good Life's weekly event -- Freestyle Fellowship's Aceyalone, P.E.A.C.E., Mikah 9 and Self Jupiter -- began spitting completely impromptu verses that were both rhythmically intricate and lyrically dazzling. "Before us, nobody was truly freestyling," Aceyalone points out. "Nobody knew how to rap off the top of their head. We invented the freestyle as you know it. We set the style and we set the pace. No doubt, no question." Word began to spread about this aesthetic revolution, and the Good Life night caught the attention of L.A.'s hip-hop elite. One of the many legends surrounding it contends that N.W.A's Eazy-E brought members of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony to the Good Life to take notes on (and later bite) Freestyle Fellowship's singsong flows. And it wasn't just a West Coast thing. By the end of 1992, the Good Life was attracting luminaries like the Beastie Boys, Biz Markie and Fat Joe. But as the night continued to grow and flourish, some of the scene's most prominent members felt it was time to move on. http://www.houstonpress.com/2005-05-26/music/blowhards/

back in the early 90s eazy E took bone thugs to the good life cafe..where they watched all the freestyle fellowships cats rap ..they were inventing styles at the time.. they then then proceeded to completely bite their style..100% the whole singsong flow is straight from the fellowship..a bit of hip hop history for you..

happy birthday pepper!

Newsflash!! A DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince reunion is just a matter of time, according to “Jazzy” Jeff Townes in a recent phone interview. “The desire is there. It has to be the right timing. With Will being one of the biggest movie stars in the world, it’s hard to find the time. If the time is there, I’m there,” said Jazzy Jeff Townes in a recent phone interview.
