4.0 out of 5 stars Would Be Even Better if there were fewer guest appearances, August 30, 2001

This review is from: Thug on Da Line (Audio CD)

After listening to this CD one will agree that Krayzie Bone is evolving into a more mature and well rounded artist. The most often heard complaint about B.T.N.H. is that they rap too fast to be understood. In Thug on da Line, Krayzie has slowed down his melodic flow and added some elevated insight to his lyrical content. Tracks like "talk to myself" and "hard time hustlin" are a great breath of fresh subject matter that is dealt with in a deep narrative. compared to the constantly rapped about subjects that can be found on radio air play; Krayzie adds depth to the streets.I love hip hop. But lately, hip hop is turning into a very redundant offering. Krayzie Bone's new offering isn't the mecha of change, but it does restore some of the excitement in the genre. This album would have been tight without the sharing of mic time with his new roster of artists. Krayzie could have also done without the absolutely-what was he smoking-wack "mambo no. 5" inspired song: "rollin up some mo"

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid follow-up, September 1, 2001

When I first listened to this album, i thought it wasn't that good of an album. I mean, it wasn't the same "Heated Heavy" Krayzie Bone from "Thug Mentality 1999." I always think of that album as one of the greatest. I guess i wasn't ready to listen to Krayzie Bone on some R&B tip. However, after the second listening, I really started to enjoy myself listening to the smooth production and tight lyrical skills by Krayzie and his Thugline bretheren. The most powerful song on this album is either "Talk to Myself" or "Hard Time Hustlin." These songs display another side of Krayzie, the always mellow Bone Thugs member. Don't worry though. Krayzie still comes hard on tracks like "Da Thugs" and the title track, "Thug On Da Line." This album wasn't ment to be an album to get hype to. It's an album to mellow out to. Tracks like "Rolling Up Some Mo" and "Kneight Riduz Wuz Here" are excellent examples, despite Krayzie being a no-show on the Kneight Riduz song. This album only gets better the more you listen to it. And, on a side note, I can't wait for the Kneight Riduz album. Man, that will be krayzie!!

3.0 out of 5 stars 3.5 stars for the 2nd solo by Krayzie, January 17, 2006

A little over 2 years since his solo debut, Krayzie is back with one not as good and worthy of 3.5 stars (his debut is a solid 4). As with most of teh Bone Thugs solo projects this one helps proove that they are much better as a group, as most of the solo's hover around 3-4 stars, as many of their group albums are 4-5 stars in my opinion. Once again, as with his debut, a lot of songs (18) and guests (on all the songs but 5). Of the 18 songs, 8 are good, 5 or 6 I skip over, 3 or 4 are ok, and 1 is almost a classic. If he would have klicked it down to about 13 songs and cut out a lot of the appearances by his new, less talented clique, it would have been a solid album. Production is pretty good on most of the album. LT Hutton & Krayzie Bone each do 3 songs, Vachik Agiantz & Super Sako, and Def Jef each do 2 songs, Damizza, Neptunes and 5 people I never heard of all do 1 song. ot his best album but a huge fan of Kray of Bone Thugs might want to check it out.
