Title: Krayzie Bone - Thug on da Line
Post by: That_Cracka_J on June 15, 2002, 05:03:18 PM
Krayzie Bone – Thug on da Line

1. Y’all don’t know me…Fairly simple beat.  Krayzie’s flow is slow much of the rhyme, but at parts it’s sped up.  Certain parts are catchy.  3.5/5
2. Ride the Thug Line…Production is terrible here.  Krayzie only has one short verse, and that is at the end.  The rest of the song is cluttered with no-name guest artists.  1.5/5
3. Can’t hustle 4 ever…Laidback song.  The title is self explanatory to the content of the song.  Nice chorus.  Only one Krayzie verse though.  3.5/5
4. Talk to myself…Nice production, lyrics and content.  Tiffany does a great job on the hook.  4.5/5
5. A thugga’ level…Faster, uptempo beat.  Features Boss and Krayzie going back and forth with some flowing ass lyrics.  4/5
6. Da thugs…Production really isn’t that interesting.  Krayzie’s flow is not up to par.  3/5
7. If they only knew…A decent love song featuring Lareece.  Production is smooth.  3.5/5
8. I don’t give a fuck…Krayzie’s flow is decent, but the production does not do his lyrics justice.  3/5
9. Time after time…A nice reflective song.  The production has an R&B feel to it.  3.5/5
10.   Ride if you like…A compilation song with ThugLine artists.  Everybody’s verse, including Krayzie’s, is sub-par.  Production is decent.  2.5/5
11.   If you a thug…Krayzie’s one verse is too short.  I’m really not feelin’ the rest of the artists on the song.  Production is unique, but not great.  3/5
12.   Hard time hustlin’…Cool, laidback beat.  Krayzie raps about growing up poor.  His flow is slowed down considerably, but it sounds good, especially with Sade’s sampled vocals.  4/5
13.   Gemini…Krayzie goes back and forth with the positive and negative voices in his head.  Flow sounds great to the tight production.  4/5
14.   I don’t know what…A track which features Kelis.  The production is garbage and the lyrics aren’t that great.  2/5
15.   Rollin’ up some mo’…What Bone album would be complete with a weed song?  The beat horrible and the verses are boring.  The only thing barley above par about the song is the chorus.  2/5
16.   Everybody wanna be thugs…The beat doesn’t seem to fit the lyrics.  Krayzie’s flow is uninteresting.  2.5/5
17.   Bloody murder…This is pethodic, especially compared to the other “Mo Murda” songs and skits like “Murder won’t stop” and the interludes on Art of War.  His short interludes are normally tight with a good mix of rap, gangsta, R&B and that Bone harmony touch.  This is just corny.  0/5
18.   Kneight Riduz wuz here…Krayzie does not appear on this track.  I’m not feeling these guys at all.  Production is decent, but I don’t like listening to them.  1.5/5
19.   Ready for combat…A short skit with Krayzie harmonizing.  A LOT better than the previous interlude.  3.5/5
20.   Thug on da line…Featuring the ThugLine artists and Wish Bone.  Nobody puts down anything interesting here.  The beat is below average and repetitive.  2.5/5

OVERALL…5/10

First of all the album is cluttered with guest artists, which wouldn’t be that bad, except their flows are not interesting.  The production for most tracks is mediocre and Krayzie’s overall flow sounds lazy and like he’s not really into his songs.  Still, there are a few gems amidst the rubble.

This waz Pathetic because it waz suppose 2 be a no-name compilation but it waz put as a Krayzie Bone album so it would sell more and give those WACK ass artists exposure......

Tha only songs worth listenin 2 are Krayzie's solos like Talk 2 Myslef, Hard Time Hustlin, Gemini, Yall dont know me and I dun give a fuck.....

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I totally agree with all of you.
I d/l this album to see if I was gonna buy the official cd, lets just say I have this album on CD-R and its just sits there.
This was a real weak release, a real let down from Krayzie, especially just using his name to sell these sucky ass artist who all suck.

2/10 >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
