They won a Grammy for this song
Nominated unfortunately, I think they lost to Gangsta's Paradise
@@mrwarped No that was the MTv awards, They did win a grammy for this song.
@@mrwarped they won a Grammy for crossroads and nominated for rap album for E 99 Eternal
1999 eternal is one of the best albums ever... EVER..!!!!
@@mrwarpedCrossroads won a Grammy. That’s a fact!
This is one of the Greatest songs ever. There flow is unmatched. I said it. This is a Classic.

@@williamhanley3329 get lost grammar troll. #DICK appreciate the reaction like everyone else.
Stanley living under a rock
FACTS! I get transported back to so many childhood memories every single time I hear this song
Unmatched!
This song never gets old.
Ill agree that this song doesnt get old "anymore".
But back in the 90s this was all over the radio. I wanted to hear other Bone Thugs music but, the radio... being who they are.... blew up 2 songs. This one and "thuggish ruggish bone", both edited of course
Never ever /-O-/
My step brother was murdered after this group came out in the 90s. Bone thugs was one of his favorites. We dedicated "cross roads" to him for his celebration of life event. I get chillz everytime i hear them!! May GOD bless all ya'll beautiful people! ❤🙏🏼❤🙏🏼❤
*** "THA CROSSROADS" won the Grammy for "Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group" in 1997. Also a Soul Train Award for "Video of the Year."
The song wasnt released til 96. They won the grammy in 97.
@@J_Murda16 oh ok 👌
and an AMA award as well...
@@GeneSypha Nah, the AMA was for “If I Could Teach The World”
It is so hard for an artist to be truly original and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony had no peers. So original so amazing
I was a '90's teen ...this brings tears of joy and sadness upon me ..love it.
Still does 30 years later.
They were smooth
They had a song called Crossroad on their album E. 1999 Eternal, but after eazy died and they started losing more and more people close to them they went back to the studio and made Tha Crossroads as an update kinda thing, Wish Bone said " I miss my uncle Charles y'all, he shouldn't be gone, in front of his home, what they did to Boo was wrong" Krayzie Bone has a cousin named Boo who also passed away, I understand Im super late but when I seen the reaction I knew I had to say something 😂
Yea . This is not the original version. But it is a great remake.
Us Polynesians grew up listening to west coast Rap and Bonethugs. Damn this bring hella memories. 💯👊🏾 lot of cousins of mine that didn't make it out the hood alive that this song reminds me of. RIP to them all. 🙏🏽 thank you for sharing!
Df is a Polynesian my nicca

lol@@anddthatsawrap3846
I'll be totally honest. This one of the first rap groups that I'd ever heard. They blew me away! They were smooth!
Same here
East 99 Eternal was an incredible album
My favorite of all time
this song was released seperatly though
@@yoru4110 the album was reissued with this song on it. On the single, if you look at the back cover it even says its off of the East 1999 album
This isn’t the crossroads on the original E 1999 Album ..
They did a whole different version after Easy E died .. this is the version that NOW cones with the Album
I like the Original better but might be because it was on the Album a year before this version came out
@@SeanHeird-qc3fq correct
When I was about 19 (Im 36 now) I was playing this song in my car and I hopped out to go inside the grocery store for just a second. When I got out an older lady in her 70s maybe 80s asked me what song was playing. I told her and she says “OH my I love it”
Cute story. :)
I've always been more into rock, however this was one of my favorite rap songs / groups while growing up in the mid to late 90s.
To me this song is metal
Omg, yes!!!!!!!! One of my favorite groups of all time!
First time wow. They played this at my cousin funeral when I was 3 and it’s stuck with me since. I didn’t know him being 3 but it still makes me emotional to listen to. Thanks for sharing A&BJ
Aww f'in hell😪💜💜
This the song I want played at my funeral when I pass 😶
@@popz4470 tbh I want something more hype. I don’t want no crying or I’m coming back to haunt haunt 👻 haha nah jk but hopefully it’ll be more a celebration.
One of the best songs ever. Can't believe she'd never heard this before. This will never get old 💯
Love how Asia felt this song. It hits different.
The guy was an angel. Everyone was tooken to heaven. Luv it!!
He is the Angel of Death !
@@mysteryelysian2pac wore a chain with the Angel of death on it which he had on when he was fatally shot.
Classic from here in Ohio. Timeless song. Layzie & Flesh are brothers, Bizzy is their step brother and Wish is a cousin., and Krayzie a close friend.
Right here in Akron they performed at the Civic center and it sold out in 4days
Growing up they were huge in my neighborhood and it wasnt until mid 2000s I realized they were a north east ohio group and it clicked. All the kids had their cassettes white, black, and Hispanic alike.
I remember being a kid and this was my favorite on MTV. Back when we it was music videos television. Couldn't wait for it to come on.
My brother loved this song and now that hes passed away this song gets me emotional everytime I hear it! I had already lost most of my family and my brother was raising me then he passed when I was 17. This was one of his favorite songs and now is one of my favorites!
I'm from Cleveland and yes this is what happens every day they are singing the songs of where they live in harmony and they are amazing and I always love them
This song came out when I was in high school/college. I wore that album out back then. And again when niece passed away at 25 yo in 2018. Her friends played this for her after the graveside service was over. It will always have a special place in my healing heart. 💜
So sorry. Sending love and hugs
I feel your pain I remember when they came out back in the day I too wore them out I lost my daughter in 2021 she was nineteen from seizures the song broke me down
@@williamrivera8063 I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️🙏
@@laurarominger2073 ty much love
Yup they did the original version on the E 99 Eternal album then redid this version when Eazy passed aswell as the people close to them that passed represented in the vid Thuggish Ruggish Bone and Land Of The Heartless has always been fav songs from them classics
Yeeeeah man. The song on E. 1989 Eternal is great as well,...less Hollywood, more real to me. Love both of 'em.
ETA: Land of the Heartless is solid.
What Asia?? You never heard this one?? No way! ✌️😊💜
Right?!
@@AsiaandBJ I am old and from Ohio, so I had home field advantage.😂
@@jesrush 'Specially if You came up where the "Manifested's Destiny" cleaved the land.
Not the Reaper. An Angel. To guide to the next world
The Reaper is a Angel
Takes souls to crossroads for Judgment for what path they will be set on
This song is LEGENDARY...PERIOD❤❤💯🙏🏽
This song still kills me. I'm and old school metal head, but this tune is heavy as hell. Love the lyrics and the musical presentation. Awesome track! Nice reaction. Peace!
It has that hip hop flow mixed with the upbeat jazz riffs of the drums, bass , tambourine & other arrangements. The harmony is DA BOMB!!!!! This is why this song will always be relevant
My favorite Horrorcore band from the 90's. All about crime, blood, dead, voodoo, resurrection, heaven, hell, dying in the arms of the reaper... they mix R&B, Gospel and Soul into their music with a creepy and ghostly vibe, you got it all on that great album E. 1999 Eternal.
If I remember correctly this version of the Crossroads was created after Easy E passed away and has a more melodic and sad vibe to it compared to the original version of Crossroads which was a little bit darker and grittier with a completely different beat and lyrics.
Yep, and to be honest I like the original version better. I remember being 15, going to Sam Goody to get this CD the day it was released, then a few months later a friend borrowed it and he lost it. I Went and bought another one but it had the this version on it and I was pissed because I didn't like it as much and you couldn't find the albums with the original version anymore. Still want that CD back. Lol.
@@kevancole I was 8 when this came out and my friends dad bought it for us. The best part was my mom had no idea what was being said lol she understood zero.
@@kevancole the original version can be found on the collection volume 1 and there's also another version of this version of the crossroads with flesh n bone on it
Yes this Crossroads is a lot different than the first one. I like both but this is the one I grew up listening to.
you're right this is actually the Remake or version 2
They're from my hometown. I met Krayzie because he lived in a suburb near my wife and me, and I took a ride with Wish to see a house he was buying out in the country. The neighborhood they grew up in was basically as portrayed in the video. BJ is right, they were original and super talented - they had their sound. And yeah, I am usually not a big hip hop fan but this song always gives me goosebumps. It is melodically and lyrically genius, even better than the great Gangsters' Paradise.
Dope
2 completely different songs.
@@420lpenca So?
Different? Ok, they are both 90's hip hop tracks with melodic twists, they both involve a certain among of singing hooks in addition to the rapping, they were both released in 1996, they both won rap a Grammy, although Crossroads won in 1997 despite being released in 1996, and they have both been featured reaction songs by Asia and BJ in the last few weeks. So yeah, they are different songs, but they are certainly within the same genre and time. period. @@420lpenca
@@420lpenca yup tru
Bone Thugs introduced Motown barbershop quartet to hip hop. And as beautiful as it was, mainstream rap didnt catch on. Everybody left it and is still doing autotune computer voices today
but nobody was singing, rapping and harmonizing...now everyone does it.
There ABSOLUTELY must be more Bone reactions on CZcams. These guys were such an iconic part of my growing up... and they were also so very important to hip hop. Thank you for covering them, there are way too few Bone reactions on YT. :)
This song was so deep. Straight fire from the heart
They have always been my favorite rap group since I was a kid. Back then their flow was unique and just awesome.
This is a great song and helps us to realise that we can't be taking life for granted because we never know when the sands of time for us will run out. So we need to make the most of life and cherish every moment on this planet so we earn our wings when the Angel comes to take us to another realm. I guess there is one place where all will meet one day. See you at the Crossroads. Nice reaction Asia and BJ and glad you got to experience this amazing rap by an equally amazing group Asia ❤️
I remember the first time I saw this and yes I so wanted to hate death but then you see he’s the protector of the dead and guiding them to heaven! The baby and all the rest are in the arms of angels even before they passed.
ALL TIME CLASSIC SONG. Never forget they won a Grammy for this song and broke The Beatle's 32 year-old record for the fastest selling single at that time. Iconic group. One of my all time favorite songs!
I remember like yesterday when this song came out. You were on point when you said people sleep on them and I don’t feel they get respect now. Frankly,I hear the youngens make fun of how they rap. But,Anyway you were also right when you said we did give them there props back then. During that time my city was facing a lot of gang violence and a lot of murders. It was some my children grew up with we knew the families. It was a really crazy time. We are from Pittsburgh not far from there hometown of Cleveland. Great song it spoke to many of us at the time.
Please do more Bone thugs n harmony 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Played at my stepbrother's funeral as the last song. I was 18, and he was 23. This song has a special place in my heart.
Such a beautiful song.
This song was a big hit for them! Won a Grammy too! Just one great song definitely!🙏👌😎👍it is a very sad video though. Very powerful message! Sadly a lot of this is still going on in every city in this country!
The entire album is awesome! I will always say it's in my top 3 all time!
this song tore through my soul......will always love it
They was so special and different. One of a kind.
My sister died "just like that" a few months back.
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony are so underrated (They were huge for a while) Then sort of dropped off real shame (Truly talented guys that created there own sound) E. 1999 Eternal massive mainstream album they have (2) Greatest hits album the unreleased version of Breakdown with Mariah Carey is simply awesome ❤❤❤❤👍👍
This song broke me when i first heard it when it came out. I was a head banger back then. Bone Thugz was my gateway rap group which led to me listening to Biggie, Tupac, I-Tea, oh the memories.
The first album (tape) I ever owned. My dad had just died when this dropped. It hard not to tear up every time I play it. Rest up all we've lost🙏🏼
Y'all are fantastic!! This song in my opinion was one of the best ever written and performed.
The song itself is beautiful. But the video... adds so much more to it. Great reaction guys. This song was played at my cousins funeral, so it really means a lot to me
Yes. Don't forget those 2 flashes of Eazy-E, I think he produced them. something like that, you might like the track. 'THUG LOVE' , TUPAC & BONE together - Fire!!!!!🔥🔥🔥
Eazy discovered and signed them.
Deep teen memories, Bone was the most unique Rap group ever. Theur Harmonizing was instantly recognizable. This song is extremely emotional and beautiful.
Bone Thug songs make you feel really content with your life, which is beautiful
216, im from CLE too... One of the best songs overall, EVER.
Wow! I've lived in South Central Los Angeles for 66 years (my whole life) I thought I knew the music of this group. I loved it because it was so lyrical. However, I never heard this song even though I loved the whole West Coast rap scene. Thank you BJ for your explanation and guidance. Good music is timeless. This song is still prevalent today. 💜💕you and Asia!
I'm a die hard bone thugs fan and this is still one of my favorite songs ever I'm glad y'all chose this one. I think y'all would also like a song called beautiful colors by seckond chaynce it's a great song and is highly overlooked. I know you guys are about unity and people all races coming together like i am. Please trust me i don't think you'll be disappointed. Keep bringing the 🔥🔥🔥 reactions we really appreciate y'all. Much luv✌
Drs Gangsta Lean was a classic too. There was a lot of healing songs for mourning at that time. We needed it and still do. Ghetto Theme by Mac Mall directed by Tupac is a classic Bay hit too. Much respect y’all! 🫡
Most definitely I had that album
..Damn so many memories
It is life and passing on!! One of my favorite rap songs, all spiritual!!!
Still, to this day, such a powerful song! I had this on cd! (Showing my age!)
Crazy life we live in...I ust lost my GF of 10 years August 25th 2022 cherish everything you never know when we will go she was only 46 R.I.P. Dena Lynn Mauntel Love you baby and I turned 43 August 20th ...... #Hangovergang 4 LIFE!!!! Love Bone thugs I born and raised in Cincinnati Ohio so they repped our state....Great reaction y'all!!!!
He was the reaper…the reaper is the angel of death. He’s angelic, he’s not good or bad. He’s simply a guide…he never brought death, he was just there when death arrived. Epic video still
I bought this CD for my daughter and loved it...got to buy my own....the harmonies are amazing.
Love love 80s 90s HH..
My high school era early mid 90s.. unbelievable time for HH music..
Who remembers Yo MTV Raps with Ed Lover and Dr Dre?! 😎👊
I don't care for today's stuff ..
Love Bone
Love from Cleveland… growing up in this city will TURN A BOY TO A MAN … I’m glad u gave our music a chance…. I cry when I listen to this
The look on her face is priceless
Best tribute to Papa Chängō I've ever heard. Years before I even knew his name!
Eazy E’s force ghost in the video is a great tribute! I grew up on Bone Thugs since elementary school. I’m 36 now and still listen to Bone.
This album came out when I was 8. It was my first tape. Me and my sister had to tell my grandma they were a gospel group to get here to buy it for me. Still one of favorite albums of all time! Classic!
My children use to play this in our vehicle while taking long drives. I thought their songs were beautiful, thanks for exposing them again.
Glad you enjoyed it
This was and still is a great song 🎵
I think what makes them different from most other rap groups is the fact that they are actually singing while doing their rap where many others are just talking through it... and their harmonies and melodies are tight!
Haven't heard this song for years, but listened so much i still remember all the words...
Going on my playlist for best reaction videos. You guys get on there a lot. Only thing that hurts my heart more than this song is seeing Ms. Asia look so sad. Glad BJ is there to hear it with her. And me. And everyone.
I went to a BTH concert in 2012 (I was 21) in Atlanta and the were running late (Atlana traffic) I tried to spark up a couple of a blunts and the security guy took them. I was pissed but as soon as they came on stage he said if i pass it to him i can get them back. Best show ever.
Totally remember this hit! Always played on MTV. Oh, the nostalgia of my teenage years.
one of my fave group ... bought all their tapes 😁 Classic! ❤❤❤
BY FAR my FAVORITE reaction to Crossroads!! To this day, this song (video) still gives me chills….i love you guys and your reaction! Been listening since 96 (was class of 99 so it just felt right lmao 😂)….until forever!!! ❤️ I haven’t seen if you’ve reacting to their other songs yet, but you really can’t go wrong with Bone! Best ever!!!
Love Bones, Thugs and Harmony !! Watching from Amman, Jordan 🇯🇴!!
Amazing song no doubt. I'm having this played at my funeral.
One of my all time favourite songs I've listened to this for 20 years one of the greatest groups
This song came out during my senior year in high school!! My sisters & I just sent them a few years ago in Charlotte NC!!!
Hey guys great reaction! Hip hop classic right here. Get emotional every time I hear it. Bone thugs For life!
Oh Asia girl, how have u not heard this song???? It’s one of the best hip hop songs ever!!!!
Wife here..I was a very young adult when this dropped..AMAZING talent and message...Still get chills when I hear this!!.."Closer to Understanding"..So Perfectly stated BJ..!!.."Awakening" Yes..Powerful Perspective.Ms.Asia!!
I was 14 when this song came out (1995) I even went to their concert that year... sooo much fun! That year I had VIP passes (Thx to my older brother). They were sooo damn cool to hang with!!!!First time I EVER got high... NO JOKE!!!!!LMFAO!! :)
This is the first hip hop music video I remember watching. It came out when I was in high school and it was so powerful. Also, very rare to see a Black angel depicted at all in those days in the media.
I was real young when this came out, it was still raw about EASY E death and they honored him in this and at the VMAs this was used as his tribute
When this song first hit the video channels it blew everything out the way, it was #1 for so many reasons
First, I love Bone Thugs N Harmony for life. Second, this sone was so amazing it got produced in 2 versions. Crossroad was the original released on E. 1999 Eternal at release, then they mad Crossroads (notice the S at the end) that was added to the re-release of E. 1999. There is also a Single out there (which I own, of course :-) ) that contain both Crossroad and Crossroads, and their instrumental versions.
I was in 8th grade living in NY and only later that I was like "oh shit.... they're from CLEVELAND!" Just cos in that era everyone was NYC or LA (I thought). Respect to the Land and to Bone Thugz. Also EZ E gave them their shot and wanted them to move to LA... hence the heavy respect to E who died before this.
Nobody has ever come close to their style since. Love this reaction (as usual)
What era are you guys?
Surprised you didn't even heard of this song.
This is a childhood song.
We witnessed the best rappers this world ever produced. 90s.
Mumbling rappers today are not even close or never will.
See you at the crossroad.
New member!! Was in my feed and man I was singing word for word with this song and it never gets old. RIP BONE! 🙏🏼
I've been listen to Bone everyday since they came out. Why do i have tears in my eyes right now?
Another fun fact about this song is that it broke The Beatles record for being the fastest rising single to number 1 and it still holds that record to this day! I'm a Bone Thugs super fan. Please check out Krayzie Bones new album called "Melodies" it's on some grown man shhh!
This is a classic. The funny thing is in high school 96ish we would smoke and listen to East 99, then the Deicide album Legion. Hip Hop to Death/Black Metal. Typical 90s.
You can actually seen the change in Bone Thugs through their songs. From songs like Thufgish Ruggish Bone, 1st of the Month, and Weed Song. To songs like Of I Could Teach the World, Crossroads, and Home
