Back in July, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony announced the title of their million dollar album but despite the already hefty price tag, the group has upped the ante. They now want $10 million for the album. 

As Wu-Tang Clan did earlier this year, the St. Claire thugstas announced that they would produce a single, $1 million copy of their final group album and sell the product to the highest bidder. Somewhere in the process, the group decided that wasn't enough. Longtime manager Steve Lobel explained the decision during an interview with HipHopDX

"I been with Bone 20 years," he said. "A million dollars is not enough. So, we'll make the product and we'll try to get $10 million for it. And then make something for the fans 'cause the fans really want something. A lot of people just wanna say they did it. There's a lot of billionaires around the world that might just say, 'You know what? I'm gonna do it just to do it.' They have nothing else to do with their money. They just wanna be cool." 

Earlier this summer, Krayzie Bone explained the concept behind the last Bone Thugs-N-Harmony album. 

"When I heard about what [Wu-Tang Clan] was doing-and I think it was you who told me about it-I just thought it was a brilliant and genius idea, he said. "We talked about it for a while then we were coming up on this world tour. We said, 'We need to do everything simultaneously. The idea for that is to make it the final group project. What better way to go out and to solidify the [Bone Thugs-N-Harmony] brand. I don't see no other way. It has to be big. We have to make sure we reach everybody. So I think doing it like this will be huge, especially for our last group album."  

The album is titled E.1999/Legends.
