Twista vs. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
During the mid-to-late 1990s, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony engaged in a feud with Twista. They both became very popular for their quick, rapid-fire style of rapping delivery. The beef started with a dispute over who originated this style. Bone Thugs say that Twista did not come out with the rapid-fire style. Layzie Bone elaborated and said "yeah he came spittin it a hundred miles an hour but he wasn't adding the harmony like us". Twista attacked back with "Crook County" feat. Psychodrama, calling Bone "Hoes of the Harmony." He also threatened that they were going to see Eazy-E soon. However, Layzie Bone and Twista became good friends and they dropped "Mid- West Invasion," soon thereafter the beef ended. Krayzie Bone and Wish Bone still had beef with Twista, they put out subliminal messages dissing Twista in both Krayzie Bone's "Gemini" album and "Leatherface: The Legend" underground album. It was until the "Spit Your Game" video shoot that Krayzie, Wish and Twista ended their Beef. Krayzie Bone was also interviewed.
