Krayzie bone thug on da line songs
The album was released as a double disc set, featuring a large selection of guest appearances, including Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Mo Thugs, Mariah Carey, ThugLine, The Marley Brothers, Big Pun, Fat Joe, Cuban Link, Gangsta Boo, E-40, 8 Ball & MJG, Kurupt, Naughty By Nature and Snoop Dogg. Hopefully, next time we will get a true solo album from Krazie, and not merely a compilation album for his young rappers to shine on.After finding success with Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Krayzie Bone recorded his solo debut, Thug Mentality 1999, in 1999. If it weren't for his fellow Thugline rappers, the album would have offered a better experience. The tracks smooth production by Tim Feehan, along with the hooks soulful approach make it truly memorable, and ends up as one of Krazie's best tracks ever put out.Įven though "Thug On Da Line" is a huge disappointment, Krazie is still capable of making good Hip-Hop music. But it's on the mesmerizing "Talk To Myself" that Krazie truly stands out on. "Can't Hustle 4 Ever" and "Time After Time" are beautiful tracks that let us inside the mind of Krazie Bone. However, Krazie is always at his best when putting out those deep, emotional songs Bone fans have grown to love. While the concept has been done before, Krazie does a good job depicting the tale. "Gemini" is the tale of Krazie's inner battle between good and evil. "Ya'll Don't Know Me" is a blazing, lyrical feast from Krazie, where he lets the world know there is no one like Krazie Bone. When Krazie goes solo, he brings us those Bone tracks we have all been accustomed to hearing over the years. However, "Thug On Da Line" does rebound from these disappointments. While the production isn't awful, it doesn't fit the Bone style and is almost strange to hear along side Krazie. The beats on the album are at times boring and generic.
However, throughout "Thug On Da Line" the production rarely fits Krazie's intensity and style. Bone Thugs~N~Harmony are usually known for their dark, sinister production. The production on "Thug On Da Line" is also a determining factor in the album's disappointment. "Da Thugs", "I Don't Give a Fuck", and "A Thuggin Level" are predictable "thug" tracks and are made obvious to the listener what they are about even before hearing them.
Tracks such as "Thug On Da Line", "Rollin Up Some Mo'", "If You A Thug", and "Ride The Thug Line" are all posse cuts that offer a less than stellar experience. These inexperienced emcees unfortunately bring down every track they appear on. Krazie's team of young, unknown emcees: Keef G, Bam, Young Dre, and Boss among others are clouded by shallow lyricism, constant thug references, and just an overall lack for rapping skills.
Instead of a true solo album, "Thug On Da Line" is more like a compilation album. The main problem with "Thug On Da Line" doesn't lie within Krazie, but with his fellow Thugline rappers. The album is plagued by many problems, such as production, lyrical content, but nothing stands out more than Krazie's Thugline protégés. However, that is not the case with Krazie's recent effort. While Bone Thugs~N~Harmony have been clouded by turmoil over the years, it always seemed that Krazie was able to rise above all the drama and release quality music on a consistent basis. Unfortunately, "Thug On Da Line" doesn't offer the performance Bone fans expected and is disappointing to say the least. After the success of his debut album "Thug Mentality", Bone fans have eagerly awaited Krazie's sophomore effort "Thug On Da Line". His rapid fire flow, smooth, yet gritty voice, and charisma on the mic has made him stand apart from his fellow Bone members. Being Bone Thugs~N~Harmony's most versatile and well-rounded member, Krazie Bone has gained a successful reputation for himself over the years.
