100. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony

If you excuse the pun, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony was easily the most melodic of the big name rap stars of the Mid-90s, which allowed the Gangsta Rap influenced group to combine that with pop sensibilities. The result was number one albums and a rewriting of what deep Hip Hop could sound like. This allowed this group to be a unique combination of kicking ass while thoughtfully taking names. Their induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame depends on how their always changing legacy is seen.

Should Bone Thugs-N-Harmony be in the Hall of Fame?

Definitely put them in! - 92.9%

No opinion. - 0.9%

No way! - 3.3%
