This was possibly the best album of all of 1997. It sold very well, but I still feel like it was overshadowed by their most memorable albums Creep on a Comeup and East 1999. I don't think that Art of War is better than those albums, however, I do think that the quality is still there, no doubt. Bone didn't fall off until the next year. They were still working with DJ U-Neek on this album, and they hadn't broken up and gone solo yet, and gotten caught up in label beefs.more on this album later
co-sign. Not their best album, but a dope one no doubt. Bone needs to get that sound back that they had with U-Neek.
I got a 12" sealed copy, hope it's worth something one day!
Definately one of the best double albums of all time. I still to this day take this out and bump it for a week straight. You can tell they recorded this right after E.1999 Eternal. Still has that same vibe to it.

They actually sound kind of like West Coast beats.Also, let me remind everybody that 2pac's greatest guest appearance is on this album. "Thug Luv" is fire! Nobody can deny it's a 10!
Definitely up there with his best guest appearances. That song gave me chills the first time I heard it. What made it so dope was that 2pac did not go with a rapid flow on it. He just was spittin that raw shit. Other artists wanted to match Bone's flow and that quickly got played out.
I don't see how anyone could be retarded enough to say this was 1997's best album (let alone the best DOUBLE) album in a year that saw the release of both "Life After Death" and "Wu Tang Forever".
