After years of hard work, Blayze hit the hip-hop scene, taking it by storm along with the number one spot on the hip-hop charts.  Taking advantage of his overnight success and all that it afforded him, Blayze found himself feeling like nothing could touch him.  Having attorneys that were paid to see to it that he evade the law and a record label that was interested in keeping the money flowing in their pockets, only fueled the fire and the persona of this well-known rapping genius.

In the meantime manager, Ethan Michaels, continued to run interference for him and comfort his wife, Toni, when Blayze was out doing what he felt he had the right to do because of his status.  But as much as Toni loved her husband, there was only so much she could take.  Having been there for Blayze from the inception of his career since they were both young teens, Toni deserved his respect.  There was not enough money or material gain that would give Toni what she needed in her marriage love and appreciation.

Finally Blayze finds himself in a place that not even his high paid attorney can get him out of.  As quickly as he rose, Blayze fell and this time he had to accept everything that went along with it and the irreparable change in his life.

Author Debra Clayton has written a story that will keep you turning the pages until the end, taking you behind the scenes of the rap hip-hop lifestyle to experience the ups and the downs of the industry.

East 1999 Eternal is no doubt the best bone thugs album. If anyone was to assemble a collection of rap music they most definitely would have to include this. Bone has style like nobody else, mixing hard lyrics with smooth beats and rhythms. I saw them in concert when they came to Seattle and being a hardcore bone fan i must say that this cd is priceless. The best hits of the cd include Budsmokers Only, Down 71, Crossroads, East 1999 Eternal, and Shots to the double Glock. You can not go wrong getting this cd.

thug world order proves that their are back again..this album is tight and better than btnhressurection..im just disappointed on bizzy's flow on a few songs..it seemed like he doesn't have that great rhyme he spits before..but nevertheless this is an album worth picking up..if you're itching for that rapid-fire rhymes that btnh brought to the rap game..this will surely satisfy your craving for bone's smooth flows and harmonious melodies...

You know you've all heard " Never Scared".  And no doubt, is that a street anthem.  That song alone makes this cd worth buying but it doesn't stop there. Tracks like " Back up", " It's me" " Lock and load", " Gettin it" are very very tight, bumpin your subwoofers- type songs. However, i was dissapointed toward the end of the cd, where Bonecrusher felt the need to explain the troubles of the streets.  You maybe also have noticed he isn't " KING KONGGG" when it comes to his Lyrical ability.  What makes Bonecrusher such a powerful MC is that he has an unbelieveable amount of Charisma, which is what the rap game has been lacking greatly these past couple years. But if you are buying this cd to get hyped before a fight, football game, or just lookin for some Beats to bump with the new MTX speakers- buy this album, right now

This dude is the s$)@!  He is a cross of the old eminem, immortal technique and slick Rick. But above all this guy has his own style that trumps anything out there. If your a fan of any of the aforementioned or Khalifa , buy it.

Bizzy Bone and Layzie Bone come together for what is really their 2nd album together (the Bone Brothers 2 album is just reused verses from other songs they did put together over different beats).  Coming out just a month before another Layzie & Bizzy album and also within a month of a Layzie and 2 Bizzy solo's, I think the timing wasn't real good, but the album itself is a good one, and probably my favorite of the albums the 2 have done together.  With 12 songs, 3 are ok, and 9 are good.  Guests are on 3 songs and both Bizzy and Layzie are on every song.  Production is decent.  Batkave does 4 songs, Jaz, Thin C, Steve Vicious, and Cricket all do 2 songs.  A nice album for Bone fans to have.

ODB is one those people who is the life of the party, the only one with personality out of the group. Even though he is not the best MC out of the Wutang Clan he is not the worst(hello Ugod anybody). Standout Tracks: SHIMMY SHIMMY YA, BROOKLYN ZOO, HIPPA TO DA HOPPA, RAWHIDE, DAMAGE, THE STOMP, SNAKES, PROTECT YA NECKII THE ZOO, CUTTIN HEADZ and HARLEM WORLD. I'll admit that I still laugh my a** off when I hear Drunk Game(Sweet Sugar Pie). Filler: Brooklyn ZooII(Tiger Crane)(Ghostface verse was fire but the rest of the song is...... and Dirty Dancin(sounds like it was poorly mixed). Bottom Line: This Is ODB's best effort and unfortunately the best album he ever made(check every album after this one if you have doubt). Rza and company weren't slacking on the production and Ol' Dirty and the guest appearances were exceptional on this album. REST IN PEACE  RUSSELL JONES AKA ODB AKA DIRT MCGIRT AKA you know the rest!

Ras Kass is probablly one of the best rappers in the game if not the best, which this album proves. If you have heard Ras Kass before you know he doesn't water down,or have hooks to sell records. He is a raw underground rapper with intellegent lyrics and one liners you might not get the first time hearing it. Rassaniation really shows his true technique and skills. The title track is my personal favorite, but the entire album is very entertaining. To see what true rap is about I'd say to get this album as quick as you can.

Well Mike Jones is one of my all time favorite southern rappers. I believe that this is a great debut album. The chopped & screwed disc is pretty dope. DJ Michael "5000" Watts did a great job chopping up Mike Jones tracks for the second disc.

Flesh-N-Bone of BTNH came from the streets of Cleaveland, Ohio like the other Bone Thugs of E's Ruthless Records, and drops a tight under r8ed solo T.H.U.G.S. which is pretty much horror-core gangsta rap.  The hardest song has to be Crazy By The Flesh which has a drive-by 211 beat.  Coming To Serve You featuring B.G. Knocc Out has to be 1 of my personal favorites because its just a damn dope smokin' ruthless hit.  Empty The Clip featuring Afta Maff is another hard gat slangin' song and the ruthless hit No Mecy featuring Fat Joe aka Crack & Big Pun (R.I.P.) is a good combination.

T.H.U.G.S. best are 2, 3(feat. Rev. Run), 4(feat. Rev. Run), 5(feat. Layzie Bone), 6, 7, *8, 10, *11(feat. B.G. Knocc Out), 13(feat. Afta Maff), 14, *15(feat. Afta Maff), *16(feat. Fat Joe & Big Pun)& 17(feat. Layzie Bone & Krayzie Bone).

If your like me,one who has just about heard enough of MCs talking about how bad things are and whos holding the most loot. Lookin over thier shoulder for the the next nga to bust a cap in thier a**.  Well I just want  to hear some good lyrics a little bit of creativity,nice beats and a  consistent album. Rakim needs to be recognized for having the heart to just  bring to hip hop the finest prose regardless of who's listening. With this  LP hopefully word of mouth will spread and hell be rewarded for all of his  hard work. Hip Hop needs Rakim and Premier like we need the sun or the air  we breathe. Dont stop Rakim.

Bizzy Bone's "A Song For You" is refreshing for several reasons, not the least of which is the fact that the vast majority of Bone: Thugs -N- Harmony" independant releases as of late have been mediocre, at best.

Another reviewer stated that the general tone of this album is reminiscent of "Freeway" off of Bizzy's "Heaven'z Movie" album, and I would like to echo that sentiment.

The occult'ish undertones of his first two albums have all but vanished, replaced by a more upbeat, uplifting, pseudo-spiritual tone. Tracks like "A Song for You", "What Have I learned", and "Mercy Mary" are the standouts in that department.

If you're looking for more hardcore, "E. 1999, Eternal" tracks, you may be slightly disappointed, there are only about 3 tracks that fall into that catagory - "Money", "Ballin'" (Which ironically features Jim Jones, but has little, if nothing to do with the 'hood classic for a few years back) and "Real [Freestyle]".

There are also a few tracks in the mix that are pretty nice, introspective peices, reminding you of Bizzy's humanity, struggles and empathetic nature, along similar lines of "Nobody Can Stop Me" - "Memories" and "Muddy Waters"

Out of the 13 track listing (not including the intro), I would only consider "I Truly Believe" and "I Need You" to be clunkers, not worthy of a second listen.

For those that like the album, but would grade it less than 5 stars, I would like to point out that in today's musical climate, it is rare to be able to pick up an album with such a high hit rate - 11 out of 13 tracks are better than what I would consider "average".

Is this "E.1999, Eternal" great? Maybe not. Is this "Heaven'z Movie" great? Yes. Consider this as a companion peice to "Heaven'z Movie", mix them together and sit back and chill.

Dem Bone Boyz is back!

I'd never heard of this guy before, but I've been a fan of Eminem for a long time. As soon as Necro was in my cd player, it stayed in there. This guy is the real deal, and he is so hardcore. Violence and (...) is what it's all about. Just listen to each line he fluently raps and you will find yourself either laughing or being completely grossed out. Freestyles are amazing and the beats are very well done. If it weren't for his style he'd be at the top for sure!

im a huge bone fan, i have all their cd's and in my opinion this double cd is their best release. body rott,clog up your mind,hatin nation,blaze it up,and all original are all bone classics. the last song on the second cd showcases the mo thug family. listen for the smooth rapper ken dawg on that song. a lot of double cd's have a lot of weak tracks but certainly not this one. krayzie is at his best and flesh shows up a lot on cd 2. i luv wish and i don't think he gets enough notice.

One Of the Most Unique Rappers in the game, let me quote "I treat bitches straight up like +Simon Says+
Open (...) put ya legs behind ya head
Cop me Air 1s hon lime and red
You got pets me too mines are dead
Doggy fox minks gators that's necessary
Accessories my closet's pet cemetery
I get approached by animal activists
I live in a zoo I run scandals with savages" Down And Out Verse From  Killa Himself.

 Shout Out to Juelz Santana A!!!!!!!!!!!
