4.0 out of 5 stars Obviously mainstream, a great crossover effort, April 23, 2006

Hmmm... where do i begin for such a rap phenomenon as this icon of an individual called T-bone? there's no denying he's got the raw skillz(if in doubt , listen to track 11 please).
I am so in love with the way he's tryna take this gospel to the mainest of streams, clubs and streets beware! Now it's been re-christened Conscious rap. Hmmm....but i must say that his heart for ministry han't changed one bit.
For me my favourite track is easily "Let that thang go" . He comes off so evil on that track u can feel the revolution in his voice.
Closely followed by "follow T, " though the track is quick to bring to mind phonographic images of a certain Fat rapper whose name begins with J.
"It's OK " is another ear-catcher for me, but too soon one is quick to see the the gritty dark 50 Cent stylistics come into play in the chorus and beat patterns.
The joint with Chino XL is an absolute banger, and the fiery lyrical venom can be felt all over the track. the only thing is, chino seems to have this thing against women, or is it just me-he slays Beyonce, Whitney Houston and Ferdie of black eyed peas almost all in one handful.
"I been looking around" would have been cooler if it didnt have so much kanye west written all over it-T-bone's almost never sampled old skool vocals in his entire career up until now.
Overall i think the album's guaranteed to turn more than just a few heads and stamp it onto the minds of listeners that hip hop and sex, violence and drugs don't always have to go together to be phat. Bone-a-fide wont top your list for deep theological lyricism-that credit goes to The Cross movement. And his best work ever still remains "Last street Preacha".
But T-bone has definitely lasted longer than even countless of his secular contemps.And that, for me would stamp him as a legend of sorts.KEEP FLYING THAT GOSPEL FLAG, PLAYA! I'M FEELIN' YA ALL THA WAY!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars T-Bone Shows Diversity, October 4, 2005

By 

Jedi4JC "Jedi4JC" (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bone a Fide (Audio CD)

Anointed rapper T-Bone goes all out on this CD, displaying a diversity of sounds that showcases this latest release. From the Run DMC inspired "12 Years Ago" to the club anthem "Shake Ya Body", T-Bone hammers the mic with Godly and spiritually challenging lyrics.
I'd rate this CD even better than his last release. The sounds and beats are tighter, the production fresher and even after a battle with throat issues, T-Bone sounds better than ever.
T-Bone is one of those rare artists who've continued to run the race faithfully and his commitment to Christ is more than obvious. He's truly an inspiration for every generation. "I Been Looking Around" even takes a cleverly sped up sample from a 1970's Patti LaBelle track and T-Bone just turns it out!
We love you T-Bone! Thank you again!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bone-A-Fide, December 18, 2006

This review is from: Bone a Fide (Audio CD)

T-Bone is easily the best rapper on the HHH scene, and arguably one of the better rappers in the rap game period. Bone-A-Fide shows T-Bone at his best on every level, still bangin' his West Coast beats and rippin' it lyrically. The collabs with Mack 10 and Chino XL fit surprisingly well into the album. While T-Bone has never been the guy to slather Jesus all up in his rhymes, he only bares his soul and purpose on select tracks which cause some to wonder if he's not just "positive rap."

Best cuts: Let That Thing Go, Hard Streets, Can I Live, A Few Good Men.
