Title: Bone Thugs-N-Harmony - Strength & Loyalty
Post by: R1ZE on November 30, 2007, 08:46:36 PM
What did everyone think of this album?

imo, it was real hot but Wish brought it down. If you're a fan of Bone you should definitely check it out.. and if you're not, you might be surprised. Krayzie Bone is so underated.

Best songs:
I Tried
Flow Motion II
Bump in the Trunk (kray rips it)
Sounds the Same (so chill)
C-Town (chill, and lay kray and twista all rip it)
Streets (game and kray went off)
Never Forget Me (great hook, great verses... why wasnt this a single?)
Candy Paint

Worst songs:
Wind Blow (its aight)
So Good So Right (sounds cheesy)
Order My Steps (just not my vibe)

It's a shame interscope fucked Bone over in terms of song selection... kray and lay have been real vocal about how they wished they had more say in what songs were chosen. Just check this vid I made for clips of 20ish songs and see how much better this album could have been: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Xf8ej7X5e7I

I liked it. A few duds here and there but dope for the most part. Oh and congrats to them for winning a American Music Award for best rap group album.

Interscope released a CD-S for "Wind Blow" but Bone isn't going to shoot a video for it (they think its a bad single - and didn't even want the song on the album  :o)

Really the next single is a no brainer from a promotion standpoint

Never Forget Me with Akon.

kanye track is called "Aint Satisfied" i thought. def should have made the album along with toast to that, shotgun, not familiar, and bone thug boyz.

A Str8 up dope album even without Bizzy, and I agree with the thread starter on the tracks the were hot and the ones that didn't leave too much of an impact. Two tracks that should have made the album was "Into the Future" which had a dope Flesh-n-Bone verse starting it off and that track "You & Me" when they speak on the Bizzy situation.

They went through it with Bizzy though when he refused to sign the deal with full surface/interscope  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFD__-Kn1TM

at first it was called "aint goin nowhere" and then "i aint satisfied" and then uneek called it something else... i was like fuck it, my names the best  ;D

imo the best cuts are

Struggle feat. Petey Pablo
Into the Future feat. Flesh-N-Bone
Got My Back
Never Been Industry
Not Familiar

and then For the OGs, Toast 2 That, and We Workin are cool. I was disappointed with the beat Timbo gave them though, and Kanye resold his beat later so  :-\

imo You N Me was a half assed song, and if it was released it mightve prevented the reunion that we almost have in our hands right now. They speak on Bizzy in So Good, So Right anyway.

To R1ZE about the "you and me" track, In my own opinion I like to hear what artists are feeling about certain situations at the time of the album's release, and I do think that those were the true feelings coming out on that track which is why its dope to me, and as far as the reunion goes don't let that Bone Brothers 3 album go to ya head cause after that album drops Bizzy probably gonna be off doing his own thing again, besides Krayzie don't seem like he want nothing else to do with Bizzy as much drama he's taken the group through. Now do I wanna see Bizzy back in Bone Thugs? HELL YEAH, but at the same time I just don't believe things are gonna be right til Flesh gets out next year, I think he may somehow mend the group back together.

I feel you, I would love to hear their opinion if it wasn't already put out there, though. The Bone 4 Life video, all the interviews where they've badmouthed him. It comes to a point where you gotta stop putting your business out for everyone to see, you know? Sometimes that can hurt you too. Plus at the same time, maybe they themselves felt it was the wrong record to put out.

As far as Bone Bros 4 Life - I wouldn't count Bizzy out yet. Time will tell, though.

how can u say wind blow was a weak track...that shit was tight man....

haha it was aight, but even kray himself said he didnt like it so  ;D. . to be honest i kinda like that lil love track.. except for bow wows verse. if you get a chance try and find the OG - kray and lay spit longer, better verses (krays seems kinda angry for a love song  ;D)

I'm surprised that joint with Mariah didn't do better, I assumed just having her name on the track would get some sales from her fans

emancipation of mimi was her biggest record, wasnt it? and it was only a few years ago. Plus it had bow wow on it - yet it didn't even get onto 106 & Park's countdown. But I've heard these shows skew votes.
