‘Crossroads’ - Blazin Squad

Number one week ending 31st August 2002 for 1 week

 Blazin Squad were a bunch of teenagers barely old enough to leave school, and the type who I would go out of my way to avoid if I saw them hanging around in public - the type to shout abuse at anyone who walks past. So maybe it’s admirable they’re in the charts rather than let loose on the public to do that. Their rendition of what was originally a heartfelt R&B 90s song about being reunited after death is transformed into a tuneless dirge (that painful ‘mmm we pray and we pray’) because it’s literally a bunch of kids singing it, with no conviction, and the sight of them swaying in shirts nicked from their dads is comical rather than menacing.  The funniest thing about this is how the song hasn’t been changed at all from the original (by Bone Thugs N Harmony) so that the song starts with them chanting ‘bone bone bone bone’!
