DENVER, CO – As the King of R&B debate wages on, all kinds of artists are making claims about who’s at the top of the pyramid. After Layzie Bone heard Migos insisted they were the greatest group ever, the Bone Thugs-n-Harmony OG jumped on Instagram to send a message to Offset, Takeoff and Quavo.
“There’s a lot of things going out here,” he said. “Young niggas talkin’ bout that they the king of R&B. Young niggas talkin’ bout they the best group ever. Best rap group ever or whatever they said. I’m just here to set the record straight. Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, we still all five live — Krayzie, Bizzy, Wish, Flesh and myself Layzie Bone — we the best, you dig?
“The biggest to ever done it. Also, [I] can think of some other niggas like Outkast, N.W.A, EPMD, Beastie Boys that done did big things in this game that can also claim it. But we the best. Migos sit down. We gonna shut your ass down for 2019. Y’all little niggas talk too much.”
Layzie captioned the video with, “Bone Thugs N Harmony is the best group ever!!!! This game ain’t the same without us…. @migos y’all gotta back that shit up for 2019 #WE THE ONES FUCK THE TWO’s Three’s and the rest. As a matter of fact name one rapper out here that ain’t step there flow up because we should them how.”
In response to Layzie’s comments, Offset dropped an Instagram Story that essentially clowned the pioneering MC.
“OLD NIGGA AIN’T GOT A M,” he wrote. “FOR A THOUSAND! WHO WANNA BET LOL.”
The G.O.A.T. conversation has been ongoing for decades and likely won’t end anytime soon.
