During an interview with BET, Bone thugs-n-harmony discussed performing E. 1999 Eternal 20 years after its release, how it has been adapting to changes over the years, who’s payed it homage in that time and if N.W.A will be accurately represented in its new film.
The Cleveland, Ohio natives received widespread attention over the years for their contributions to the Midwest sound specifically and to Hip Hop in general. They took home a Grammy for “Tha Crossroads” in 1997.
Lil Wayne has payed homage, too, and vice versa. Bone thugs seeks to link with the Young Money founder.
“Lil Wayne been showing love since day one,” Krayzie Bone says.

Wish Bone adds: “On that note, Lil Wayne, we waiting. Nigga, let’s get in the studio. Let’s do it nigga. We fuck with you.”
“You heard him, Lil Wayne,” Flesh-N-Bone says. “Let’s go.”
As for the forthcoming N.W.A biopic Straight Outta Compton, Bone says the movie has positive and negatives.
“I don’t think you should ever have a drama movie with actors playing you,” Krayzie Bone says. “I think you should always do a documentary because it sustains the brand and then you don’t have people acting like you that can’t really capture who you are because actors can’t capture who you are. And in Hollywood they’re always gonna bump it up, so a documentary about your life is always gonna be more potent than a fuckin’ movie. Bottom line. And I’m supporting the movie but I think it would be more potent told as a movie-documentary.”

Wish Bone has a more positive take on the film.
“Any visual that can keep up the legacy that started this real Hip Hop shit is a good thing,” he says, “’cause the kids of today need to know where this shit really started.”
