I was surprised they still had any juice left by the time they made Art of War.  Art of War is not a classic like the 2 albums they did while Eazy was alive, "Creapin" is flawless EP and "East 1999" is a bonafied classic LP.   

Art of War I remember that summer of 97' I was like "god dammit this shit is gonna fuccin brick like Doggfather" but it actually came out nice enough, in spite of Eazy not being around.  Then in the years after they couldn't make classic albums anymore but still hit us with classic songs like "Try So Hard", "Ecstacy", solo joints like Krazy's joint with Sade and Tiffany, shit like that

Yeah man but it was a lot of filler too on those albums also.  And together you just can't match the chemistry from the Eazy years.  They said in interviews back they were such tight homies and family that they did everything together if they were sitting and watching TV and one went to the store he wouldn't leave without taking one with him wherever he went, to the point they knew each others rhymes and lyrics and shit by the time they met Eazy could harmonize

Even before Eazy's involvement, Faces Of Death was pretty good for a small independent release.  Eazy gave them guidance.  Course money went to their heads.  As much as i love for them that Crossroads got that Grammy and made them, it was also the end of them, as they all got big heads, too much fame and money, ended up fighting and never were really able to get back on the same page.  That 'hunger' was gone.

I agree with you about "Crossroads".  I remember it like this...

They came start of the summer with "Crossroads" then end of the summer they came with "Dayz of Our Lives" which was like damn near yet another crossroads them dudes was still on fire — then they fuccin came with "Thug Devotion" that was damn near another "1st of the Month"—but that's where it stopped.  That Mo Thugs album I bought and none of the rest of the album besides the single was up to par with their previous work.  And that came out on their label and they were beefing with Ruthless and Tomeka by that time.

 So without Eazy or a label over their heads to guide them everything was rushed, hit and miss. Flesh was solo on Def Jam they should've demanded a classic from them but instead it was one great song "World So Cruel" and then half the album filler.  Bizzy went solo and "Thugz Cry" was pretty dope but there was a lot of filler on that as well and even a downgrade from Flesh solo.  Krayzie solo had a lot of filler.  "Breakdown" really changed the game for R&B and "Notorious Thugz" was a masterpiece.  So just a lot of hit and miss after Eazy but never a full classic like their first two on Ruthless.
