MFT: Krayzie Bone Reflects On First Time Meeting Eazy-E
The encounter took place in the heart of Cleveland, a city grappling with economic struggles yet brimming with untapped talent. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony had been hustling tirelessly in order to put their name on the map. Then Eazy-E came into the picture with Ruthless Records and changed everything.

In our latest 'My First Time' story, Krayzie Bone joined us to break down the surreal-yet-life-changing moment. Eazy-E, a key pioneer of gangsta rap before his unfortunate passing in 1995, exuded a magnetic presence even from his 5′ 3″ frame. While his height might've taken Krayzie by surprise, it was his larger than life personality and big business moves that proved why E had such a shape on the culture. Eazy-E's influence on Krayzie Bone and the group extended far beyond that first meeting though.
As a mentor, he offered guidance on navigating the music industry, from honing their distinctive melodic rap style to teaching them about professionalism and persistence. Eazy opened the doors of Ruthless Records to Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, giving them the resources, studio time, and connections they needed to turn ambition into platinum records. He pushed the group creatively, encouraging them to embrace their unique sound and stay true to their roots, even as their fame grew.

I tried the viral Elroel foundation stick — it takes a minute to blend, but it turns from clown white into my skin tone
Every so often, a beauty product goes viral for all the right reasons — and recently, the Elroel Blanc Cover Cream Stick, an innovative color-changing foundation from Korea, has been making the rounds on TikTok and Instagram. Almost magically, its stark-white pigment blends away to match the wearer's skin tone virtually perfectly. While it may seem that the white, almost chalk-like consistency would be too thick or caky for everyday wear, the result seems to be ultra-glowy skin with beautiful, non-patchy coverage and a scarily accurate color match. In other words: the internet's glam-loving girls are going positively feral. Here, I set out to see if the unique foundation stick is worth the hype (or if it's instead a gimmick that's simply too good to be true). It costs $27 on Amazon and comes in six adaptable shades Olivia Rose Rushing/Business Insider The buzzy foundation stick comes in six adaptable shades, from their lightest "200 Fair" to the darkest "205 Deep." As is true with many Korean cosmetic brands, the shade range doesn't encompass as many hues as American ones (think Fenty Beauty's industry-shifting fifty foundation hues). Because of this, I'm unsure if this will work for those with the deepest complexions. I ordered shade "201 Fair." When I first opened the box, I loved how simple and sleek the packaging was. What's more, the ultra-soft built-in brush actually felt like something I would use — especially when traveling with makeup. Upon my first application, the product felt a lot creamier on my skin than expected. I immediately disliked its powdery floral scent — which thankfully doesn't come from any added perfume — it's more likely due to the jasmine and evening primrose oils. Still, the heavy fragrance is my least favorite aspect of the formula. Before and after blending out the color-changing foundation Just like the viral TikTok videos, I couldn't believe how intensely stark white the color was swatched against my complexion (and I'm quite fair to begin with). That being said, it started to blend away relatively effortlessly, slowly but surely revealing an impressive color match that's hard to find in a foundation. While I initially thought that the built-in brush would be a major win, I did find that it took much longer than I prefer to spend blending my base makeup. Because of that, I probably wouldn't use it again, unless I was traveling or in a pinch as it did a good enough job. It matched my skin tone beautifully, but I just can't get past the scent It goes without saying that the color match is almost exact, and with a surprising amount of coverage that doesn't require you to layer more swipes of foundation. And as many have noted online, the final result is a soft-matte finish with a pretty glow that appears healthy and nourished thanks to efficacious ingredients like niacinamide. In that regard: I totally understand the hype. I also loved how this foundation worked well with my current product lineup, like my go-to cream-to-powder blush that's coloring my cheeks. Though honestly, despite its light finish, it was weighed down by the lingering powdery jasmine aroma. The bottom line The Elroel foundation stick does exactly what it promises: it swipes on white, blends into skin for a wow-worthy color match, and leaves you looking youthfully dewy. It never made my skin look too textured or caky, and overall, the formula is lightweight and wears well throughout the day. That said, my main gripes are the limited shade range — especially for those with darker skin tones — and the scent, which is a personal preference but important to note. Because of that, it hasn't replaced my current foundation, though it might just end up being someone else's new holy grail.

‘Butterfly' Star Piper Perabo on Why Playing the Villain Was ‘Relaxing' and Hoping for a Second Season: ‘I Want Even More Guns'
SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers from 'Butterfly' Season 1, now streaming on Prime Video. Piper Perabo can get used to playing villains. More from Variety 'Smoke' Star Jurnee Smollett on Killing [SPOILER] and Filming That Harrowing Car Scene With Taron Egerton 'Surrounded by Fire': 'Your Adrenaline Is Rushing' Daniel Dae Kim on 'Butterfly,' the One Stunt He Wasn't Allowed to Do and the Success of 'KPop Demon Hunters': It Wouldn't Have Been 'Made Even 10 Years Ago' 'Drive My Car' Star Nishijima Hidetoshi Leads Prime Video Japanese Mystery 'Human Specimens' In the new Prime Video action-packed spy series 'Butterfly,' Perabo is Juno, the evil head of a private intelligence corporation in South Korea. 'Playing the villain is so much fun,' Perabo tells me. 'I think the villains in Hollywood keep that secret to themselves so that they don't have to give up the great parts. I think it's so relaxing. The getaway car pulls up to you, there's no running. You have an endless supply of weapons. It's very relaxing.' 'Butterfly,' based on the graphic novel series of the same name, follows David (Daniel Dae Kim), Juno's former partner, who comes out of hiding to save his daughter, Rebecca (Reina Hardesty). David had left Rebecca in Juno's care nine years earlier when he faked his death after one of his missions went terribly wrong. Juno not only raised Rebecca, but she trained her to be a blood thirsty assassin. 'I like how clear Juno's sense of purpose is,' Perabo says. 'I always think of her like when you were a kid and you're on the athletic fields and there's this parent on the sidelines who's screaming at their kid and just humiliating them and pushing them. That's who I think Juno is.' In 'Butterfly's' 6-episode premiere season, Juno tries to win Rebecca back when David, with his new wife and young daughter in tow, convinces Rebecca to escape to Vietnam for a new life. Both. I'm usually the one who's assassinating people [Perabo starred on USA Network's 'Covert Affairs' as a CIA agent for five seasons], so it's weird to just point and tell others to kill people, but I thought I'd give it a try. Maybe I'll come back to the assassinations if I am given a chance. Right? And he even took the time to have another wife and another daughter. I know David thought he was protecting Rebecca, but I think she was better off with me. I think it's better over at Juno's house. Why? I have a lot more money. You can work for me and make your own money. It's very healthy over at Juno's house compared David's. It's not safe. There are a lot of secrets. Juno's is much more nine-to-five. I was shocked, but also I was excited, because I feel like it leaves us in a really yummy place. I think this series has a lot of tentacles that can spread out and move in a lot of different directions. One of the things that was fun about being at Comic-Con with 'Butterfly' was that Marvel and DC are amazing and have legacies and a depth of all these myths, but it's so much fun to be in a new universe. When I read the last episode, I was excited because I thought this leaves a lot of open windows. Juno doesn't trust anybody, even her own son Oliver [Louis Landau], and she figures out a way to kind of live with you anyway. Juno's not gonna burn the bridge just because you screwed her over. There's a lot more juice in that orange, so let's not just throw everything away. Like I said, Juno has this clear sense of purpose. It would be foolish to get rid of Rebecca. Juno doesn't eat very much. Juno doesn't like to consume very much. Everything has to be so controlled. And then [showrunner Ken Woodruff] said, 'When you finally get Rebecca, you are going to be able to just relax and have a burger.' And I was like, 'Oh, really? OK, we're gonna need a lot of burgers.' A lot. No, I ate them all. I think she probably showers in them. It's very out of the armored car and into the private jet. Very cab to curb. A lot, a lot, a lot. Even in the opening of the first episode of Rebecca in the hotel. I remember the costume fittings for that when Reina, who plays Rebecca, was like, 'The strap of the purse needs to be this long if I need to strangle him, but I also have to have my entire [getaway] hotel outfit in the purse.' I was like, 'This is my kind of fitting.' A little bit. In my case, we talked a little bit about Juno's hopes and dreams. I want to put her in the worst situation possible and watch her dig her way out. I want even more guns. [Laughs]. There's no update. A couple of days ago, somebody did call me and told me to stop talking about it. I probably shouldn't say that either, but it's all really fun.
