MFT: Krayzie Bone Reflects On First Time Meeting Eazy-E
For Krayzie Bone, the first meeting with rap legend Eazy-E wasn't just a pivotal moment—it was the spark that ignited Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's revolution in hip-hop. The encounter took place in the heart of Cleveland, a city grappling with economic struggles yet brimming with untapped talent. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony had been hustling tirelessly in order to put their name on the map. Then Eazy-E came into the picture with Ruthless Records and changed everything. RELATED: My First Time – J Money Recalls Meeting His 'Korean Twin' Andrew Lee In our latest 'My First Time' story, Krayzie Bone joined us to break down the surreal-yet-life-changing moment. Eazy-E, a key pioneer of gangsta rap before his unfortunate passing in 1995, exuded a magnetic presence even from his 5′ 3″ frame. While his height might've taken Krayzie by surprise, it was his larger than life personality and big business moves that proved why E had such a shape on the culture. Eazy-E's influence on Krayzie Bone and the group extended far beyond that first meeting though. As a mentor, he offered guidance on navigating the music industry, from honing their distinctive melodic rap style to teaching them about professionalism and persistence. Eazy opened the doors of Ruthless Records to Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, giving them the resources, studio time, and connections they needed to turn ambition into platinum records. He pushed the group creatively, encouraging them to embrace their unique sound and stay true to their roots, even as their fame grew.

Keith David, Bone Thugs, Miley Cyrus lead 2026 Walk of Fame Class
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has unveiled the Class of 2026 for the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The list is made up of icons who have carved their names into the annals of immortality. An assortment of 35 talents have been drafted to the class of 2026. Among these 35 is veteran actor Keith David, who is a well-known face on screen. Perhaps his supporting roles are his most defining, but his efforts in productions like The Thing and Gargoyles are his most noteworthy. The Emmy Award-winning actor will be joined by another iconic act in the form of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, who captivated the world with their melodic rap flows and gritty lyricism. In the recording category, pop sensation and child star Miley Cyrus will receive her honours alongside crooner Josh Groban, Angélique Kidjo, and The Clark Sisters. A few newer Hollywood talents have also made the grade. Timothée Chalamet made the grade under the motion picture category. Demi Moore, Rami Malek, Rachel McAdams, and Emily Blunt have also been included, while Deepika Padukone will make history as the first Indian actress to receive a star on the Walk of Fame. The Television category features Chef Gordon Ramsay, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Robin Roberts, and George Stephanopoulos, who will share a double ceremony. Comedy and live performance are also represented, with Gabriel 'Fluffy' Iglesias and Lea Salonga receiving stars in the live theatre/performance category. Arguably the most dominant centre in the history of the National Basketball Association, Big Diesel, better known as Shaquille O'Neal, is to be the only honouree in the sports entertainment category. The list boasts an array of talents that are more than deserving. Keith David for instance was visibly moved when he received the news on his 70th birthday. That's quite a while to wait for a star. On the other end of the spectrum, a relatively new talent to Hollywood, the 29-year-old Timothée Chalamet will also be getting his flowers. Some might view that as puzzling. Timothée Chalamet Emily Blunt Chris Columbus Marion Cotillard Keith David Rami Malek Rachel McAdams Demi Moore Franco Nero Deepika Padukone Molly Ringwald Stanley Tucci Carlo Ramboldi (posthumous) Tony Scott (posthumous) Greg Daniels Sarah Michelle Gellar Lucero Chef Gordon Ramsay Melody Thomas Scott Robin Roberts & George Stephanopoulos (shared star) Bradley Whitford Noah Wyle Air Supply Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Paulinho da Costa The Clark Sisters Miley Cyrus Josh Groban Grupo Intocable Angélique Kidjo Lyle Lovett Lea Salonga Gabriel 'Fluffy' Iglesias This year had a spread of seminal talents like Jessica Chastain, Jane Fonda, Green Day, and a posthumous star for the legendary musician, Prince.
