Bone Thugs N Harmony - Tha Crossroads (Official video)

The Crossroads" is a Grammy-award winning song performed by the hip hop group Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, dedicated to the late rap icon Eazy-E and released in 1995. It is one of the group's most popular songs to date, and their biggest selling.

Originally named "Crossroad," it wasn't until the group and their producer, DJ U-Neek, decided to remake the song that the name was changed. The song "Crossroad" was originally dedicated to Bone's deceased friends, but after the death of Eazy-E they decided to remake it as "Tha Crossroads". The song is performed by four of the group's members, (Krayzie Bone, Layzie Bone, Bizzy Bone and Wish Bone). The remake contained the line "And I'm askin' the good Lord 'Why?' and sigh It's I, he told me we lived to die" from the original. Bone's lightning fast rhymes are delivered softer than is usual for the group, without profanities and creating a sad and heartfelt effect. With soft instrumentals revolving around a sample of The Isley Brothers' "Make Me Say It Again Girl (Pts. 1 and 2)," the song has a sad yet quick tone to it. After receiving high praise for their song the group decided to add it to their already launched album, E 1999 Eternal. The single rose to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 8 weeks, sold over 20 million copies worldwide, and would later win a Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group at the 39th Annual Grammy Awards. "Tha Crossroads" is also known to be in the best selling rap/hip-hop/R&B song of all-time. "Tha Crossroads" won Bone Thugs-N-Harmony a Grammy for Best Rap Song in 1997, topped #1 in the billboard pop charts for 12 weeks.

The song was certified 3x Platinum in the USA by the RIAA however Bizzy Bone confirmed the song sold 20 million copies worldwide, making it the first best selling single in the 1990s, and later appeared on the soundtrack to the 2008 film "Pineapple Express".

@378FILMS it aint a remix. it replaced the original version when Eazy died. that's why they re did this song. When Eazy died of aids they re did this song and this is the official not a remix.
