look up any word:
1. Bone Thugs n Harmony
The best rap group ever. They are true to the streets and they do what they say. Krayzie was not born in Cleveland but Bizzie, Layzie, Wish, and Flesh were. Flesh and Layzie are brothers and Wish is their couzin. They first got their record label from Eazy E. The first time they performed for him they got no response but they asked to perform for him again and made it successful. BTnH represent that they come from the streets of Cleveland very hard on East 1999 where they grew up in an area called St. Clair. People thought that at one point the rap group broke up but in their song Ressurection (Paper, Paper) it shows that they never did and that it was just rumors spread. They also played the Ouiga Board and listened to it, which the Ouiga told them to murder some people which they did. Bone thugs n harmony were also frequent weed smokers and also experimented with exstacy.

"It's time now for givin up respect to them SCTs from CLE!' East 1999, Bone Thugs n Harmony
3. Tru
Also Known as "True", "Trues":
Its a common phrase originating in Cleveland made popular by Bone Thugs N Harmony. It basically means what it says, a "true" or "real" thug. To be a true, you have to be true to yourself and not be a fake. You have to be true to the people around, you have to be real about everything and come from the heart about everything. A "tru" doesnt mean a gangsta, becuz there are fake gangsters and there are wannabe gangsters,a "Tru" is completely real.

The phrase became popular specifically on the Eastside of Cleveland on St. Clair Ave. (Tha Clair) Especially in the Glenville neighborhood. It spread all across the ghettos in Cleveland, and into other ghettos across the nation. Its not as popular as it once was, but is still used in Cleveland. It was especially popular with the SCTs (St. Clair Thugs) a huge gang, and organization centralized on St. Clair and E105th St. Bone Thugs are members of the SCTs. Some "Waste 5" (10-5) gang members are also SCTs.
Flesh N Bone: T.H.U.G.S.: Trues Humbly United Gathering Souls.

There was also a female rap duo from Cleveland named "II Tru"
4. Protest the Hero
An incredibly talented band from Whitby, Ontario, Canada.

And good fucking god, they are in no way emo. Modern emo is bland, unoriginal, whiny, commercialized shit. These guys deserve some fucking respect.

They are all incredibly talented at what they do. The guitarists can tap/shred at a very high level of playing standards, as well as being able to come up with some very catchy riffs.

The rhythm section comes up with some very intricate, unique ways to back up the songs, and the bassist can do more on his bass than most 'emo' guitarists can play on guitar. He also writes some very good lyrics.

The vocalist has a great range of singing and screaming as well as a great stage presence.

So to summarize: Kick ass band, nothing to do with emo

They don't even deserve a metalcore label because metalcore is again bland and uncreative. These guys play progressive/math metal.
Check out Fortress, the latest album from Protest the Hero. It is worth every pennie.
