(ANTIMEDIA) Legendary hip hop group Bone Thugs N Harmony made headlines this week when rapper Layzie Bone saved a man’s life on the side of a Wyoming highway. The Bone Thugs have been on tour recently in support of their new album the Art of War 3, which opens with a thought provoking, politically charged monolog, sampled from Judge Napolitano.

The new album is a sequel to one of their classic releases, The Art of War, which was a groundbreaking double-disk CD at the time. The Art of War takes its name from the book written by the ancient Chinese military genius Sun Tzu. The book is valuable to this day and teaches people to use intelligence and skill in their physical and intellectual endeavors.

While touring in the late 1990s to promote the original Art of War album, camera crews captured footage that would later be used for the documentary Bone Thugs N’Harmony – The Untold Story (Art Of War Tour). This documentary featured some interviews that had never been released to the public, showing the Bone Thugs not only talking about their music, but about their philosophy and the message behind their music.

To close out the documentary, Krayzie Bone began to talk about the coming revolution and specifically used the term “New World Order” many, many years before that term became mainstream thanks to the internet.

During the interview, Krayzie said, “Armageddon, bottom line, new world order is commin’, shit is getting hectic, motherfuckers better get ready to go to war, bottom line. If you aren’t ready, you will perish. You better get with some soldiers and do your thing. Get a whole army, because shit, why not, everyone else has their army?”

“When the shit jumps off this rap shit ain’t going to mean nothing,” he added, explaining that the establishment can and will shut down or censor hip-hop at any time if it becomes a threat to the control structure.

He begins dropping serious knowledge around one hour and one minute into this video, but if you have time, the whole video is filled with quite a few gems.
