Update: Bone Thugs-N-Harmony canceled

Holy crap! The South Sound has suddenly become the epicenter for slightly-past-their-prime touring hip-hop artists. Not only will Coolio turn Hell's Kitchen into a "Gangsta's Paradise" this week, but mid-'90s favorites Bone Thugs-N-Harmony will also be in town, sing-songing their way through a collection of hits designed to take you back to a time when this group was one of the biggest in the land. Surely you haven't forgotten gems like "Tha Crossroads" and "1^st of tha Month."

Surely you'll be in the house when Krayzie Bone, Layzie Bone and all the other bones hop in the flashback machine and bust out the classics.

Surely you'll have your sister put cornrows in your hair for the occasion.

[Hell's Kitchen, with Normal Bean, Island Trybe, Pink Bead Federation, 8 p.m., $15, 928 Pacific Ave., Tacoma, 253.759.6003]
