Layzie Bone has since re-united with the group, and they toured in 2018.

Enterpri$e, which consisted of four members- Krayzie Bone, Layzie Bone, Bizzy Bone, and Wish Bone (all except for Flesh-n-Bone)-and recorded an album titled Faces of Death in the studio of their then-mentor, Kermit Henderson on his indie label Stoney Burke in 1993. Like so many aspiring rappers around the country, they put in calls to executives at record companies, hoping to find someone who would listen. In hopes of securing a record deal, the group was given an audition over the phone, receiving an unfulfilled promise from rapper Eazy-E to call them back. Determined to reach him, they scrounged together the money for one-way bus tickets to Los Angeles. They left for a three-day Greyhound trek and spent four months on the city streets, putting in frequent calls to find him. Nothing came of their search except the news that Eazy-E was, in fact, on his way to Cleveland for a show. Apocalypse 91.The quartet returned to Ohio, where Diego Blak (born Diego Hodge), a marketer and promoter who had been co-executive producer of Faces Of Death, introduced them to Eazy-E at a concert he promoted in Compton.But, the game still felt normal-even when it wasn't. That was one of the greatest things about SA. No, not everyone is engaging in a gang war or fighting corrupt cops. It was outlandish and over-the-top (remember how heads would disappear if you shot someone in the head?), but it still felt like everyday life. I mean, where else in GTA can you advance the story by having sex with someone, eating at a chicken joint and gaining fat, conversing with friends, or stealing alien gunk? I don't see Niko Belic doing that and I damn sure don't see Trevor doing it (although it would've fit in well with his pseudo-white trash persona). In other words, even when it looks like you're just doing shit to do shit, you're still expanding the story (this is something which San Andreas' spiritual successor: GTA V does as well). Gameplay-wise, we're given over 100 missions ( some wackier than others), all of which help expand on the storyline of San Andreas.
Players even got homages to Milli Vanilli and Vanilla Ice tossed in.

The story, written by DJ Pooh, Dan Houser and James Worrall, went deeper than a simple story of retribution, focusing on gang violence, police corruption, the aftermath of the 1980s crack epidemic, and more.
As was the story of San Andreas.įor those who don't remember, GTA: SA follows a young man, Carl "CJ" Johnson on a path to discover who killed his mother and broke up the gang he once repped. These are the songs I heard on MTV when I was over my aunt's house. These are songs that I grew up as a four or five-year-old with people blasting them out their car systems.
Now, I spoke on the music of SA in a post a year or so ago for, but the soundtrack captured the 1990s perfectly. The first thing that sucked me in was the music. When the game released in October 2004, I got a copy from Gamestop (thanks to knowing practically everyone there), went home and loaded it up. Finally, a character who looked (somewhat) like me in a story that I could relate to more than being a drug lord or a Mafia boss's right-hand man. So, when I found out that San Andreas would feature a black main character, I was ecstatic. I, at that point, was a teenager in Baltimore who, like many my age, was always looking for some sort of come-up. He was a 30-something white guy in Miami during the Scarface era of drug-fueled decadence. Tommy Vercetti was a jackass, he was suave, but he wasn't someone I could truly identify with. VC was cool and made me happier than GTA III (more on that in a #300WordsOrLess Review on soon), but I still felt something was missing. I was 15, and had just finished Vice City. Has it really been almost eleven years already? Wow, I remember when I first heard of the release of San Andreas.
