Another Consistent Effort From Bizzy, September 30, 2006
This review is from: Alpha & Omega (W/Dvd) (Audio CD)
So, the "No Intro" intro sucks. Yeah, really, just plain sucks. I was actually kinda worried when the first track of the album was just Bizzy rambling mostly unintelligibly over a ridiculous beat I'm glad he didn't try to rap over. BUT the second song was indeed a saving grace, because I'm sure I wouldn't have listened to the rest of the album if it weren't as good as it is. Bizzy has a habit of putting his better songs first ("Thug'z Cry", "We Ride", etc.) and this cd is no different. One thing I noticed was the differences in his cadences all over this album. Bone Thugs have always been known for their flow and harmony, but Bizzy really makes a point to prove on this album that he is quite lyrical. Case in point, "I Understand", possibly the best song of his career. It showcases a very mature and accountable Bizzy moving on from his past (much like "Demons Surround Me" from Heaven'z Movie). Another dope song on this cd is "All In Together Now" a story of female betrayal with a dope beat and a well put story. Okay, again, with most Bizzy cd's, the weak point is the production. Not just the beats, but some of the choruses. Case in point, the off-key singing on "Die 4 U" works well enough, but I can't get past "Mirror, Mirror on the wall..." from track 12. Overall, this is a dope album, but Bizzy's done better. It's a great addition to your collection if you're a huge Bone Thug fan but if you're just casual fan, this might not be the best choice.
Oh, I really really hate it when rap artists put clean versions of songs on dirty cds. It's just unnecessary, so this album loses points for the otherwise dope "Better Run, Better Hide".

buy it for the lyrics not the beats, February 8, 2005
This review is from: Alpha & Omega (W/Dvd) (Audio CD)
i would be lying my azz off if i said this album has good production.the truth of the matter is it doesn't.but thats not why i bought it i bought it because of his lyricisim which keeps improoving.if you judge albums soley by the production then skip this album,but your a fool if your gonna dissmiss it because of lousy production.thats what more or less happened with krayzie bones last solo cd thug on da line.
stand out tracks are murdah,better run better hide,i understand and i;m sure i'm forgetting more.
bottom line buy it for the lyrics.

BEST BIZZY ALBUM, March 7, 2006
This review is from: Alpha & Omega (W/Dvd) (Audio CD)
This albums follows the murder of bizzy bones 'brother' capo alias konfucious. I feel like this album addresses all the issues (such as being a kicked out member of BONE) that comprise the individual bizzy bone. Honest, candid, revealing and passionate, this album is no way commercial but truly heart felt and delivered. With the exception of about 3 or 4 songs...i have enjoyed this album more than any other bizzy solo album.
