Bone Thugs-N-Harmony

wow first off, the record company tries to send the world a false sense of hope with bizzy on the album and everyone thought he was back with the band, but no these are outtakes and you can really tell. "nation of thugs" is a standout that would fit on any album and "young thugs" was a decent song. Alot of these tracks feel weak and uninspired and it really was a disappointment after "strength and loyalty." All in all, Bizzy did come back with still creepin, the new bone album (Bone brothers 4 really), but skip this, because the bone thugs are being exploited for money.

The four man Bone group returns (sort of), Krayzie, Layzie, Wish, and Bizzy are brought back to you by Tomica Wright to get her some more money since the group left Ruthless Records, but none the less it's still anice album of some older tracks Bone reorded that never made any of their albums. With 12 songs, you get 3 that are ok, 1 Classic, and 8 are good, a few being real good. No guests on any songs. As usual Krayzie is on the most, all 12 songs and does almost all the hooks, Layzie is on 11 of the 12, and Bizzy and Wish are each on 10 songs. Production is good as well. Noel "Detail" Fisher does 4 songs, Bone does 3, Alvin "Stone" Clark, Rick Rock, LT Hutton, DJ Uneek, and Co-Stars all do 1 song. A nice album for fans of Bone to grab a hold of.

Check all my reviews

As much as I hate the ethics behind what Ruthless is doing, I really like this CD, simply because Bizzy is on the track. I actually like the lack of guest appearances. Strength and Loyalty only had the new Flow Motion, I Tried, and Never Forget Me for tracks that I consistently listen to and that CD had more guests than Jay Leno, SNL, and David Letterman combined. They became famous through Ruthless and the closer they got to "mainstream" the weaker their stuff got. Same thing with Bizzy up until Evolution of Elevation unfortunately... and even he has Real Talk doing stupid remixes of some of his older stuff that sound horrible. Unfortunately the days when rap was good, the mid to late '90s, has passed. Of my three favorite acts, BTNH split and became mainstream, The Lost Boyz just completely fell apart, and only Tech N9ne is left as the single underground rapper who is still saying FTI.

I know that Bone won't see any of the money for this CD's sales, but this is still a good album. I was surprised these tracks were never released by Ruthless, these are some good songs. There is a good number of tight beats and verses. Overall, I'd say its better than Thug Stories. To those that are hardcore Bizzy fans, Bone don't need Bizzy to sound good (period) He is in these unreleased tracks, but he is not back with bone.

Favorite Tracks:
1.T.H.U.G.S. (almost entirely because of the beat)
2.Wildin' (cool hook and flows)
3.Sweet Jane
4.Everyday Thugs (really good beat!)
5.Remember Yesterday

I will say, when i first saw the title, I was like "OH SNAPS!! A NEW CD ALREADY?!" but when I looked at the tracks, I realized that it wasn't a new cd after all, it was cut tracks, most of which i have heard before. For the uninformed...Bizzy is not and most likely WILL NOT be back in Bone Thugs. This is just Ruthless Records attempt to cash in on Bone's new found success. Bone wouldn't release an album through Interscope and then go back to Ruthless in under a year. Also, "T.H.U.G.S." was the title of Flesh-N-Bone's debut CD on Def Jam.

This cd has some good cuts though. If you want a cd full of Bone Thug album cuts then get this album, REGARDLESS if Ruthless is cashing in (which indeed they are). Listen before you buy, because like previously mentioned, this isn't an actual studio album, just cuts.

There are a couple of old Bone hits on this CD, but if you're a true Bone fan looking to get back in the Bone groove, it's a better idea to just re-purchase Creepin on a Come Up and/or E1999. Dont get me wrong, there are some hits on this CD, but it's missing a LOT of other Bone Hits. Disc 1 is cool, but Disc 2 is full of Bone songs I had never even heard of which are NOT hits. Seems like they were trying to sneak some newer Bone in with the old school stuff.

I bought my copy last summer and I'm still playing it. The best songs are Thuggish Ruggish Bone, Foe Tha Love Of $, Shoot 'Em Up, Days Of Our Livez, Thug Luv, Notorious Thugs, All Good, Thug Mentality, Resurrection, Ecstasy, Weed Song, Get Up and Get It, Ghetto Cowboy, and Thugz Cry.

Ruthless are just eating off bone's legacy. This ain't really their greatest hits.

I love that track "Blaze it" - should have been prelonged into a full track, (saving me rewinding so many times when i light up).

Ok, that Disc 1, basically tha early stuff from there 1st 3 CDs

THIS ALBUM IS OFF THE HOOK!!!! I have to give it up for Bone Thugs and Tomica Wright (who is an executive producer on the album). A lot of people come out with trashy hits album, that are just thrown together for money. I may only be 16, but trust me I know. This is the exact opposite. It has 26 songs, and is a 2-disc. All real hardcore Bone Thugs fans, like me, must have this album. It has "Tha Crossroads", "Look Into My Eyes", "Thug Luv", and every song that has been a major hit for them. No song is missing. Bone Thugs are just so ORGINAL, TALENTED, and everything that rappers should be. It is worth every bit of your 13 or 14 dollars, or however much cds cost at your local music carrier stores. It's Bone Thugs, so you know you can't go wrong.

This masterwork came to the public as Bones first full-length CD which was propelled by their literally classic pro money-earning, death-obssessed intro EP ("Creepin'On Ah Come Up")...though E '99 Eternal needed little help, if any ...that ep set the stage for the takeover that ensued.


"Mo-Murda-and-weed-smoke" sums this CD up in the simplest of terms - nearly every song EVEN OUTSIDE the "marijuana odes", has multiple indo-weed references..and at this point so long later, EVEN AS A BURNER, becomes MONOTONOUS. They do, however, capture the tone of mid 90s reality/Gangsta Rap, while totally changing the landscape at the same time (so-called bone clones were of a plenty at this time--"Gangsta Pat"...you name it). I know lots of people have reviewed and heard this CD, but I will say, theres lots of highlights on here, of course...

crossroads
crept and we came
Mo murda
1st of the month

etc...

While I would honestly recommend "The At Of War" more, this here's no slouch... because of that, I think its clear those FOUR SINGLE-STAR RATINGS were, at some point, given by the 3 guys in "DO OR DIE" along with TWISTA. No able-eared listener (without personal beef) would give this less than four stars..EVER!!

This is by far the best album from Bone Thugs. 1st of tha Month and others are instant classics.
If you are a Bone Thugs fan, you will love this album.

True soul in there music this day an age im still looking for good rappers like this an there still trying to stand strong go head bone thugs

Over all the CD is pure BT&H...but I was really disappointed in the change they made to Tha Crossroad...it's nothing like the original which was an awesome song.

This is a great album!!!Even if you don't like it,you have to give it 5 stars for originality.I don't know how many times I listened to 1rst of the month.

For those who are interested in Elliot Goldenthal's score from Batman & Robin, there was an EXTREMELY LIMITED release of the complete score for collectors. I've seen asking prices as low as $57.00 up to $80.00 for a copy of the 2-disk CD. I happen to own one of the copies so I can tell you a thing or two about it; first of all, Goldenthal borrows a number of cues from his previous work on Batman Forever so you will hear some recycled material. There are some tracks that are worth playing over and over again (such as "Costume Ball") and then there are others that you'll skip every time you play it.....but with 28 tracks total, you'll have plenty to listen to! I personally enjoy Danny Elfman's work best of all (Batman, Batman Returns) but Goldenthal takes the music in new directions.

Phew! That was a lot to type! Good luck tracking down a copy!

The End is the Beginning is the End is so good. the rest are all... meh... if you are a Smashing Pumpkins fan like myself, buy this, because those 2 songs are worth it. They pretty much sounds like Jellybelly meets Stand Inside Your Love, or something.

The American moviegoing public really has completely lost its grasp upon what a 'FILM' is. America is uber-obsessed with 'MOVIES' - you know, lets blow up some trucks and make sure our protagonist falls in love with a beautiful blonde bombshell. What America doesn't understand anymore is that MOVIES can be art - they can be FILMS. They can be substantative, evocative, heartbreaking meditations on the human condition. 'BATMAN AND ROBIN' is one of these FILMS, though it has never even been touched by snooty (and misinformed) American critics, who would rather run out and see the new Bertolucci of Jarmusch film. Go to Italy, the country that PRACTICALLY INVENTED MOVING CINEMA, and you will read a much different story. They appreciate this film - all good films - as the true art that they can be.

Ok, though, enough ranting LOL. Seriously, I just sometimes get SO P.O'd BY AMERICAN IDIOTS LOLOL! This soundtrack is pretty good. Not necessarilly my favorite music, but I do not feel that this should be how a SOUNDTRACK IS CONSIDERED. I mean, seriously people. THIS MUSIC PROPPELED THE FILM PRETTY BRILLIANTLY! It's almost impossible to imagine this film - which I consider has been unjustly robbed of being considered brilliant - without the relatively brilliant (contextually) soundtrack. Perhaps not worth buying, I mean, I barely listen to this one anymore, but worth checking out, if only to remember your firsttime seeing B+R. A powerful accompaniment.

Since this album is such an eclectic mix, I have a hard time believing that anyone could like all of the songs. Most will probably only like a few of them. For me, those songs were "Lazy Eye", "Gotham City", "Foolish Games".

However, these songs weren't the CD's real saving grace. What I actually thought was cool was that the Batman instrumental theme was on this disc. However, after opening with some decent tunes and then hitting these bright spots, I felt that the album generally goes downhill. Maybe I just don't dig this kind of music, but I sure didn't find myself singing along, that's for sure.

I bought this when I was five years old. I LIKED (past tense) only one song and that would be track 13: "Elliot Goldenthal: A Batman Overture". But now that I listned more carefully, I realize there are good song on this album:

1.- "The Smashing Pumpking: The End Is The Begining Is The End".- A very strange title. I like this song, but it has a grissly intro.- 4/5.

2.- "Bone Thugs 'N' Harmony: Look Into My Eyes".- A good song. Finally an unbulgar rap song.- 4/5.

3.- "R. Kelly: Gotham City".- This one is one of the best songs on this album. I like this kind of songs, calmed and relaxing and a little joyfull.- 5/5.

4.- "Arkarna: House On Fire".- Don't like this kind of songs that much.- 2/5.

5.- "R.E.M.: Revolution".- I love this song. Very much. A great one on this album.- 5/5.

6.- "Jewel: Foolish Games".- I also like this one just as much as "R. Kelly: Gotham City".- 5/5.

7.- "Goo Goo Dolls: Lazy Eye".- I love this song as much as "R.E.M.: Revolution".- 5/5.

8.- "Lauren Christy: Breed".- Good song, but not as good as "R. Kelly: Gotham City".- 3/5.

9.- "Soul Coughing: The Bug".- I do not like this one. Too strange.- 2/5.

10.- "Moloko: Fun For Me".- I don't like this one either.- 2/5.

11.- "Me'shell Ndegéocello: Poison Ivy".- A strange song. I'm not that much of a fan of this one.- 3/5.

12.- "Eric Benét: True To Myself".- As good as "R. Kelly: Gotham City".- 5/5.

13.- "Elliot Goldenthal: A Batman Overture".- O.K. When I was five, I loved this song, I played it all day. But now I hate this kind of songs (composed with symphonys and specialy for the motion picture) and realize there are better songs on this album. Such as "Gotham City", "Revolution", "True To Myself", "Lazy Eye", "Foolish Game", etc.- 3/5


14.- "Underworld: Moaner".- Horrible. Bad. The worst on this album. I hate this kind of songs.- 0/5.

15.- "The Smashing Pumpkins: The Beggining Is The End Is The Beggining".- This song is the same as the first track on this album, but slower and darker. If you notice in the title from the first song: where it says beggining, on the last track says end...anyway, I stick to the first version.- 3/5.


O.K. So this album is not that great, but for me, this one is the best banda sonora fo all MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACKS I own. It has more variation and great songs. If you want to buy this album, then buy it, but...if you don't...then I understand why.
Anyway, my point here is that I HATE MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACKS, but I think this one is an exception.

Great album. None of the bone thugs albums have been anything less than pure greatness. They are the most underrated rap group in the industry.And Krayzie is by far the best rapper in the industry followed by Tech N9ne and Jamie Maddrox from Twiztid. Every release by these guys is phenomenal and Krayzie straight murders the tracks. It was kinda weird not having Bizzy on the album but I kinda like it better since he seemed to be going through a phase where he rapped all slow and loud. It just didn't go well with the other members. Maybe now that they are back together with Flesh Bizzy will fall back in line. Overall great album from a great group. If you don't have it you need to get it. Also pick up Krayzie's solo works...any of which are great.

some good songs but overall not worth buying, i recomend just down load the individual songs you like

This is just a great album, one of the btnh's best, just a shame that bizzy was not a part of it. If bizzy was here then who knows how incredible this album could have been. Bone here shows fresh material with great new beats and a lot of artists on their songs. I though bone was going under after "Thug world order" and they seemed they were going solo with solo albums from Krayzie and a few from layzie that were average at best. Bone shows here that as solo artists, they cannot produce great music, but as a group, the sky's the limit for them.
Highlights include:
"Flowmotion" (not a remake from "Faces of Death" but a hard hitting song with a fast paced beat to get the album started with a bang.)
"I Tried (Ft. Akon) (The best and most meaningfull bone song i have heard in a long time, the perfect song, Akon chorus with BTNH's great verses inbetween.)
"C-Town w/ Twista" (Wow, the midwest is united with a great catchy track and for the next few days you will be singing "C-Towns how we ride...Cha Towns how we ride..feel good!)
"Streets w/ the game" (An amazing hard hitting game collab that goes hard all the way.)
"Never forget me w/ Akon" (Another akon collab, that is excellent and it is hard not to like this song.)

The rest of the songs are great and there is really no filler except the terrible track with bow wow and jermaine dupri, 13 excellent tracks here and this album is a must buy not only for bone fans, but any fans of rap.

This doesn't live up to Bone's earlier efforts but it's a great album none the less. The only thing I didn't like was them doing a song with Bow Wow but given the current trends in rap, I guess it's understandible for them to try to make a more mainstream album. It doesn't compare to thier earlier albums which I also heard that Bizzy will be coming back to the group and Flesh is getting out of jail soon.

I liked this CD, I just love all there old songs like: 1st of The Month, For the Love of Money, Thug Luv, East 1999, Thuggish Ruggish Bone, No Surrender etc. But this one is still good and so is the new CD: T.H.U.G.S....

Before going under, that is. As Thug World Order was very average, for Bone thugs, anyway. Bone 4 Life was a good album, but just barely. Thug Stories was also a good album, better than Thug World Order and Bone 4 Life, because DJ U-NEEK, one of Bone's long time producers, came back to do some work on it. Strength & Loyalty is probably their worst C.D. to date, but still on the verge of good. We all know, Faces of Death, Creppin' On Ah Come Up, East 1999 Eternal, and The Art of War were all EXCEPTIONAL C.D.'s. Practically flawless.

Now to BTHNResurrection...
Yes, it's Bone is still amazing on this album. Krayzie still with the best flow, Bizzy falling directly behind him, Layzie still tearing it up, Wish still doing his thing, and A LOT more of the underrated: Flesh-N-Bone, who actually appeared on 15/16 of the tracks. He also really rips the tracks apart.

As for the tracks:

#1) Show 'Em - 8.5/10: A great start to the album.

#2) The Righteous Ones - 10/10: The best track on the C.D. Layzie's flow is really smooth and great, Bizzy also does great work here. Same for Flesh.

#3) 2 Glocks - 10/10: Another amazing addition to the Bone songs. Krayzie, Layzie, Bizzy, and Flesh really rip this track apart, especially Krayzie and Flesh.

#4) Battlezone - 9.75/10: Phew, Krayzie's verse is really long, and also really awesome. Grand song.

#5) Ecstacy - 9.25/10: They all do an excellent job on this song, and it's overall superb.

#6) Murder One - 10/10: If The Rigteous Ones isn't the best song on the track, this would have to be it. Bizzy, Layzie, and Flesh tear it up, boy.

#7) Souljah's Marching - 10/10: Layzie is extremely good on this track, but then again, so is Bizzy and Flesh. Amazing song.

#8) Servin' Tha Fiends - 9.25/10: Excellent track. Bizzy, Layzie, and Flesh work the track, as usual.

#9) Resurrection (Paper, Paper) - 10/10: You gotta love this laidback track. Feel good song, with all 5 of the Thugs working it.

#10) Can't Give It Up - 8.5/10: A great song, w/Kray, Lay, Biz, and Flesh doing their usual.

#11) Weed Song: you know what? I can't remember this track.

#12) Change The World - 9/10: Layzie, Bizzy, Wish, and Flesh do some good work on this great track.

#13) Don't Worry - 9.25-9.5/10: Sounds like a class Bone song to me, with all of the Thugs on it. Awesome track.

#14) Mind On Our Money - 8.5-8.75/10: Another great track. Krayzie, Layzie, Bizzy, and Flesh on the track.

#15) No Way Out - 8.75-9/10: Layzie, Bizzy, and Flesh on track, great song.

#16) One Night Stand - 9.25/10: Superb Bizzy solo track. He really rips it up! Awesome outro to this awesome C.D.

End result: BUY THE C.D. Whether you be a Bone Thug fan or not, which I am an extreme fan, just buy it. Anyone who has any taste in Rap will love the album. Overall, a superb C.D.

The reason Bone fails to be as good as they were is simple: Bizzy is gone, Flesh is in prison 'til '08, new and average producers, giving them a mordern sound, minusing the old Bone Thug sound we all love, and finally, TOO many guest appearances on Strength & Loyalty. Putting people on a different level on the same tracks as Bone doesn't work out so well.

God bless.

Resurrection is another in the series of new sound Bone albums. These Bone Thugs have very little in common with the Thugs from the previous albums. They seem less ravenous to rap at a quick pace and their songs seem to have mellowed out a lot. I think the Bone Thugs are trying to rap about things they really don't do any more. Any time a group gets rich and comfortable this will happen. The Bone Thugs really hit the wall on this effort.

The album isn't all bad, but it's not mostly good either. I count 5 songs I like, and it's not a strong like. You can probably make it through the first 9 songs and think it's not a bad effort. There are some good songs for Bone fans on here. I like "2 Glocks", "Souljah's Marching", and "Battlezone" best. These are the songs where the thugs come back to their roots the best on. These are the somewhat fast, pretty warlike, and have a nice beat to them.

Of course, I won't slam on the style of the Thugs. While it is noticeably slower and different, they can still tear it up. For Example, I want to hear Bizzy rolling at full speed, not hear him whine. They can still do it, but they just seem reluctant to do it in this album.

The real problem I have with this CD is that there are no songs I think of that compel me to put the CD in. There are songs I like once it's on but none that I look forward to. It is just the Bone Thugs just kind of kicking it. They come with very reg songs and expect you to think it's the best thing since sliced bread. It's not that they don't break new ground, it's just that they do less of what they set the precedent for in Come Up and East 1999. A lot of the CD is too laid back. When I put in the Bone Thugs I want fast violent rapping, not songs that just kind of slip along.

I'm also calling the Bone Thugs out for Ecstasy. We don't need you f_____s telling people to do drugs. There are enough people on drugs already. I don't undertsnad how you can put out a song like "Change the World" when earlier on the album you tell people "X" is the hottest thing rolling. I really denounce this. We accept the chronic as a part of the culture, but in general I do not approve of drug pushing on CD's.

Resurrection is okay for the Bone Thugs fan. This means that if you are not a fan steer clear. I bought Resurrection and wanted to love it. I can't even like it, and I like Bone. Resurrection did not convince the generation of kids that didn't grow up on Come Up and East 1999, and I can't blame them. I was really hoping this CD would be a lot better than it turned out to be.

As a longtime Bone Thugs fan, I admit I put off buying "BTNHResurrection" for much too long. I didn't think anything could top other albums like "Creepin on ah Come Up", "E 1999 Eternal", "Art of War", or "Thug Mentality" and I expcted to be disappointed. I was pleasantly surprised, as "BTNHResurrection" deserves to be spoken of in the same company as the previously mentioned. Bone is lyrically great here, sounding more mature than previously, less mainstream oriented than on "The Art of War". The production, handled by DJ U-Neek, LT Hutton, and Jamie Thomas is consistent and good, fitting their style perfectly. This is also the only Bone album where Flesh-N-Bone appears consistently, on the vast majority of the tracks. On "BTNHResurrection", Bone's lyrics deal with shutting down rumors, and then evolve to the thuggish imagery of their previous albums, along with a few great inspirational tracks thrown in. "BTNHResurrection" is definitely a great album deserved to be owned by any passing BTNH fan.

The album leads off with the strong "Show 'Em", anchored by Bizzy, shunning haters over a tough beat. "The Righteous Ones" is a hard song with a weird chorus by David's Daughters. "2 Glocks" is a well produced, tough song led by Krayzie in the chorus. On "Battlezone", a good war song, Krayzie and Bizzy lead with a good chorus and singing. On "Ecstasy", Bone deals with a new drug on the block, with a beat reminiscent of "Smokin Buddha". Bizzy sings the chorus on the strong "Murder One", as Krayzie does on the similarly good "Souljahs Marching". After the pretty good "Servin' the Fiends" is the best track, "Resurrection (Paper, Paper)". It's a slower track, excellently produced with a great bassline and instrumentals, a teamed chorus with Krayzie and Bizzy, and top notch philosophical verses from all. "Weed Song" is an evolved "Buddah Lovaz", with old soul samples. "Change the World" is another great highlight, led by Bizzy Bone's thoughtful chorus. They deal with the problems in the world and how to change them, with DJ U-Neek's famous piano instrumental. "Don't Worry" is an inspirational, happier song with a piano and bass beat and good lyrics. "Mind on Our Money" and "No Way Out" are both standard, hard Bone Thugs songs, and the album ends with a bonus solo track by Bizzy Bone.

Anyone who owns and thoroughly enjoys any Bone Thugs-N-Harmony release (as I imagine you do if you are reading this) would definitely love "BTNHResurrection". It is a very strong album, exhibiting all the talent, lyrics, and production that makes Bone great.

I love this group they keep it Thuggish Ruggish. This album is hot not the best but it's hot, there's a lot of songs that I be bumpin all day like "Can't Give Up", "Change The World", "Resurrection", "Ecstasy", and "Righteous Ones". I just watched all their videos from this album and forgot how much this use to be the stuff man. I bought it and been bumpin it all day. BTNHResurrection is a straight up bass bumpin CD. All my Bone Thugs fan COP THIS IF U AIN'T GOT IT!!!!!

This album is a really good album. So much more harmony than any other bone albums and this is definitely a resurrection after the Art of War and what people thought happened to Bone Thugs breaking up. But seriously, every song on this album is a hit and to point out some of the bone classics on this album....Paper,Paper deffnite classic...Change The World is the shiiiiiiit although the remix with Krayzie isnt on this which is mesmerizing. Everyone heard the Weed Song and Ecstacy, 2 Glocks ....just get this album.

love this album when i first got it, you get 2 disc with tracks like Thug luv, if i could teach the world, friends, look into my eyes, also i love the intro Retaliation, that track is amazing for a intro for album, probably the best intro i ever heard on a album.

hands down by far one of tha best bone albums PERIOD no exceptions in my opinion....you just cant get enough of it.everytime you finish hearing it you'll wanna go back n listen some more...if you havent gotten this bone album i really dont know what your doing haha i recommend it to anybody whos a true fan to hiphop...this is as good as it gets..n thats real.

This is the 3rd best bone album (e 99 eternal, strength) but if they could have made this into one album, it would easily be up there with e 99. The standouts are "handle the vibe" "look into my eyes" "body rot" "mind of a souljah" "if i could teach the world" and get ready for the greatest bone song ever, we all know it......"THUG LUV!!!!" a great beat with gun blasts mixed in to the beat with bone and pac spittin inbetween, it doesnt get any better than this. overall a great bone album, for anyone looking to get into bone and true fans will love this

I had this album for a while now but I can't help but to keep bumpin' this CD, this is one of their best work. They definitely kept their style andn stuff, Bone Thugs forever

The album was aptly-titled because at this time BTNH's beef with Do Or Die, Twista and Crucial Conflict reached a fever pitch and Bone retaliated with this album. If you didnt know that the first single Look Into My Eyes was aimed at their rivals then you are truly slow. The lyrical onslaught continues on Body Rott, Ready 4 War and U Aint Bone. Handle The Vibe nicely samples BDP's Love's Gonna Get Cha as Bone gives it to you raw. Aint Nothin Changed is the dope sequel to Everyday Thang off of The Show Soundtrack. If I Could Teach The World was a great second single for this album. Layzie and Krayzie shine respectively on their solo joints Its All Real(Krayzie) and Mind Of A Souljah(Layzie). Only two songs I'd skip on the first disc. Clog Up Your Mind and the Hard Times interlude are boring. Other than that, the first disc is great. Disc 2: 2pac(RIP)shows up on one of the hardest collabos of 1997 in Thug Luv. Majesty joins Bizzy Bone On 7th Sign. Let The Law End, Whom Die They Lie, How Many Of Us Have Them are vintage Bone tracks. I love Evil Paradise for its funkiness. There are two songs I couldnt feel on Disc 2. Wasteland Warrior is ehhh and Wish Bone's solo joint, Get Your Thug On is wack. Bottom Line: The Art Of War stands out as Bone's best work to date and is one of 1997's top rap releases. Bone was on a roll since they first came out so this album solidifies that they were here to stay in the rap game. I'd definitely recommend this one. Standouts on WW1: HANDLE THE VIBE, LOOK INTO MY EYES, BODY ROTT, READY 4 WAR, AINT NOTHIN CHANGED, ITS ALL REAL and IF I COULD TEACH THE WORLD. Standouts on WWII: THUG LUV, U AINT BONE, ALL ORIGINAL, LET THE LAW END, WHOM DIE THEY LIE, HOW MANY OF US HAVE THEM and EVIL PARADISE.

The year was 1994 when the struggling rap group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony released this album, which at one time was considered a prelude to another album (now scrapped) entitled "Thugs-N-Harmony". And even though it's short, like they say, "big things come in small packages".

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony consisted of 5 members at that time, Krayzie Bone, Layzie Bone, Bizzy Bone, Wish Bone and Flesh-N-Bone. They're music style(s) is unique, a typical Bone Thugs-N-Harmony song consists of rapid fire rapped verses and mellow R&B chorus lines. In my personal opinion, I would rank this group up there with N.W.A.

As for this album, "Creepin On Ah Come Up", this is not their first release. Before signing to Eazy-E's "Ruthless Records", they released an underground album called "Faces Of Death" which I'll be reviewing sometime in the near future. But this album only a taste of their greatness. Every song here is dope in its own way. All 5 members here tore the rhymes up. As most of the lyrics are in the gangsta rap category.

The production is nice as well, as this would go on to be their only album produced by Eazy-E whom had died later from AIDS in 1995. Production also came from ex-N.W.A. DJ/producer Yella. As well as Bone's long-time future producer DJ UNEEK. Bone also co-produced some tracks. The beats here are laid back, if I had to label the sound, I'd rule it out G-Funk. The production here fit extremely well with the raps.

Here's my individual track ratings.

01. "Intro" (A)
02. "Mr. Quija" (N/A)
03. "Thuggish Ruggish Bone (ft. Shatasha Williams)" (A+) (favorite)
04. "No Surrender" (A)
05. "Down Foe My Thang" (B-) (least favorite)
06. "Creepin On Ah Come Up" (A+)
07. "Foe Tha Love Of $ (ft. Eazy-E)" (A+)
08. "Moe Cheese (Instrumental)" (A+)

There we are. I recommend this to everyone who enjoys fast hip-hop, or harmonic and laid back production that will guarantee to make you want more. By the way, the reason I gave this a 4.5/5 is because there is 8 tracks and only 5 official songs. But don't let that take the pleasure out of enjoying it. Go ahead and get it. You won't be disappointed, especially if you were big on N.W.A. Peace.

There isn't a whole lot to say about EPs. They're so short that there isn't much to expand on. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's sophmore effort (some will mistake this as their first release, but their 1993 release, Faces Of Death, carries that distinction) was released in a year that I hold in high regard when it comes to rap music -- 1994. Creepin' On Ah Come Up is one of those EPs that, despite its brevity, is still worthy of any spins it gets because the songs are of high quality. There are only eight tracks, but I'd say that 3 are classic Bone and the rest are solid. Production isn't shown in the original release, but wikipedia credits Bone, Eazy E, DJ U-Neek, DJ Yella, and Rhythm D with production and it's all great stuff, really. Maybe the production credits were straightened out on the 1998 reissue...I can't say for sure.

As far as flaws go, the only track I routinely skip is "Down Foe My Thang." The beat doesn't grab me and the song in general doesn't really go anywhere. That's about it though.

Creepin' On Ah Come Up is a great release, but it's incredibly short. At only 8 tracks and a hair under 30 minutes, it pretty much comes to a halt just as you start to get into it. It's still a dope EP though. I recommend grabbing this one whenever the opportunity shows itself.

Standout Tracks: Foe Tha Love Of $ feat. Eazy E (My Favorite), Thuggish Ruggish Bone, Moe Cheese, and No Surrender

people lemme tell u somethin bone's first cd was titles bone enterprise and had songs titled hell sent and 40 oz look for it.....it's really a good cd if you want to hear all 4 bone members `before they were thugs n harmony

1994, Cleveland, Ohio's, Bone Thugs record their first album for ruthless with their current group name, a short EP. They had an album from 1993 under the name of B.O.N.E. Enterprise, called Faces Of Death, which I have yet to hear. I'm glad Eazy-E signed these cats so they could blow up. Creepin' On Ah Come Up is full of great harmonization and killa spits by BTNH over G-Funk beats that couldn't have better suited their style. The pairing of slow to mid tempo beats really complement their often rapid speed and when theyb rap slower. DJ Yella produces the most of the album, while Rhythm D does 1, and DJ Uneek does 2 joints, and BTNH produces one and co-produces another. The title track is a slow rollin' beat with a nice whiny synth to roll slow to at night. "Foe Tha Love Of $" features Eazy-E over a smooth beat and is one that helped the group blow up. They do what they gotta to get paid, even if it is illegal and bloody. "Thuggish Ruggish Bone" is one that also helped them blow up and is a standard setter for their music here and later on. Yella laces a nice whiny synth lead beat, and you can hear BTNH rap on beat even while slowing or speeding up their flows, a hard feat. Rhythm D laces a stone-cold, mobbin' beat on "Down Foe My Thang" with a piercing whiny synth only he can do, and Bone rips the track with harsh, violent flows, a phat "get yours however you can" joint. Their flow ability is definitely showcased here. "Moe Cheese" is an instrumental of "Foe The Love of $." "No Surrender" is bangin.' I love the dark keyboard ridden beat and the vocorder laced hook. Here, they paint gothic and dark imagery like they do pretty much on this whole album. Out of the 8 tracks, 5 are songs, and the other 3 are the intro and 2 skits. This album definitely showcases their hunger, their hit-making potential, and their beloved harmonious, at times sing-rapping style that would be popular for the next half-decade. This album is a must have for any BTNH fan or any other serious rap fan.
