Bone Thugs-N-Harmony have been honoured on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The Hollywood ceremony took place on Wednesday with all five members of the legendary rap crew there to accept the honour.
Fat Joe, radio icon Big Boy and Ice-T all spoke during the presentation to the group, with Katt Williams, Lil Eazy-E, Ray J and Ras Kass also in attendance, Billboard reports.
“They say I exaggerate,” Joe joked. “But what if I told you, I’ve been to 10 of these and I’ve never seen people out in the street like they are for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony right now.”
“I owe a great deal to Bone Thugs-N-Harmony,” he continued. “These guys went and they was the Michael Jacksons. They went and sold like 30 million records; I sold like two copies. They never acted funny with me.”
Ice-T stepped to the podium and took a moment to applaud the fact that all the members of Bone Thugs were present and healthy.
“Our era of hip-hop, you had to be original. You couldn’t sound like anybody else. When Bone Thugs hit the scene, they were like nothing we had ever heard,” Ice-T gushed.
“When you see five cats that can all rap that good similarly, I’m like, ‘Where did these ni**as come from? Cleveland.”
Krayzie Bone, Bizzy Bone, Layzie Bone, Wish Bone and Flesh-N-Bone each spoke at the ceremony, expressing love to their families and thanking the fans for supporting them for more than three decades.
“All I ever wanted to see was my homeboys successful, man,” Layzie Bone said. “All I ever wanted in life was for us to prosper… Thank y’all for coming out, thank y’all for supporting us. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, we are brothers.”
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony put Cleveland hip-hop on the map after signing to Eazy-E’s Ruthless Records in the mid-90s, topping the Billboard 200 with songs including E. 1999 Eternal and The Art of War.
