I played it to death when I first downloaded it off of LimeWire years ago. One. @ Padraig:

I remember being pleasantly surprised hearing that song pop up on some mixtape after not hearing Bone Thugs in a long, long time. Actually, I wouldn't say there's a direct connection, but the whole super-fast double-time flow of most grime MCs probably owes something to BTNH.

BTNH are the group, though. Growing up in Cleveland, I’ve got to say that anybody who uses “C-Town” regardless of color sounds fucking stupid.

The vocal style of Bone Thugs is what makes it original. It's not like NWA were rapping in double-time with barbershop harmonies. Except for Ren. He was into that sort of thing.
