[@JBtheJMB84]

It's All Mo Thug from The Art of War is probably one of the smoothest and underrated cuts that Bone ever made.

[@justinpfaff7868]

Jay Brown bro the first time i heard that song i listened to it 16 hours straight in between two jobs, mainly krayzies verse played that one over and over and over, still listen to that verse, over and over

[@Dee1983x]

I love that song!!

[@TripTee]

Yeah all mo thug was tight, layzie verse when hes like ( lil kids no longer wanna be like, they tryna be like bone and keep thugging for lyfe ) that shit i definately related 2

[@TheJesseK57]

justin pfaff bro i was like that with ny state of mind by nas. i totally feel you, the songs just blow your mind. all mo thug is one of my favorites

[@emmanuelmartin6744]

One of my favorite songs. Ur right

[@T83Loc]

The Art of War is probably my favorite album of all times. I think it's massively underrated and rarely even mentioned when it comes to the best albums but it's perfect from start to finish, especially for a double album. Krayzie's flow on there is so advanced that nobody even came close to this day, including Bone themselves.

[@JMF02]

+AWOL 1 very well said!

[@StoneyMelony]

fully agree!

[@krayziebone8353]

agree.art of war is my favourite album of all time.i remember listenin to krayzies verse on clog up yo mind on repeat.so talented and underrated

[@chris.hartliss]

I think it's their third best for sure. Can't put it ahead of 99 or Creepin' on ah come up

[@MSiler]

Christopher Shelton indeed!

[@dominickkasza8096]

I would say E.1999 and The Art of War are two of the greatest albums ever in hip hop.

[@HystericalCruelty]

Add Thug Mentality and yes

[@jwaters9656]

+Dominick Kasza I agree with you on both but I don't think E.1999 is in the top 3 bone albums but just my opinion

[@BornToBeFamed]

Yep!

[@jwaters9656]

true but the art of war is bone's best album

[@MaskedAvenger13]

+Dominick Kasza haahahah

[@jonathanlippe]

The interviewer did a superb job asking the questions die hard fans have wondered about. Lobel and Krayzie provide entertaining responses. Enjoyable presentation.

[@emeraldknight2342]

Ressurection is a criminally underrated album.

[@alexmotts]

Battlezone. Is the greatest song by them imo.

[@vintage3262]

@@alexmotts it was my favorite song until nation of thugs came out

[@Posterharpua]

E1999, Art of War, Creepin', and even Resurrection are all masterpieces.

[@edburkhammer]

Ready for war from art of war is underrated af! No Surrender from Creepin on ah come up.. The real thug hits, body rot, mo murder, handle the vibe, I can go on and on 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@undyingforce]

We need a Bone and Cypress Hill collaboration. Produced by Muggs and U-Neek.

[@tokyoinooshi4836]

It's hard to say but I think E1999 is a masterpiece. But I also like Art of War too as a close 2nd

[@snapsondapetro]

great interview! not the same ol questions! good job!

[@liberalchubbychaser5112]

I feel like Krayzie is the unofficial captain of Bone Thugs.

[@3-methylindole730]

It's Flesh.

[@nystagmus]

Layzie is the guy He brings together bizzy with krayzie/wish Without layzie there won’t be btnh because wish and kray roll together and bizzy layzie and flesh roll in the other side. Krayzie is the leader when it comes to music concepts

[@leovardozarate5088]

Krayzie Bone is the most artistic out of all of them that's for sure

[@mobeus84]

That's cuz he is. Hrs the leader. The producer. The one who shops they work the one who keeps em getting paid. Trust Krayzie is the one. Bizzy left and does his own thing. So praise to B after a while of not knowing how to get it.

[@Kevin_Yagoonie]

Well to be fair Krayzie was rapping before any of them

[@brandonwilliams3189]

E. 1999/Eternal is like Michael Jackson's Thriller... Not a bad song and when it dropped, everyone on the block had it.

[@anthonysmith9972]

One of the top 5 albums of all time in all genres to me. Complete album from beginning to end

[@realeyesrealisereallies8607]

Massive salute to the interviewer , as a life long bone fan , I can tell he was a big fan as well, I love it, this was a very thorough and informative interview. More hip hop journalism like this plea$e!!!

[@jordanjamerson498]

That resurrection album was dope

[@DEBOVETTE]

East 1999 - Best Album everEveryday Thang - Best single

[@cobrahklutch9779]

Est.1999 don’t get close to the love it deserves. Art of War even Creepin on ah Come Up classic hip hop albums. But Thug Mentality is def one of the greatest albums period ever made “Dummy Man” “The War Iz On” etc. so many bangers on that monster

[@philipsmi-lenguyen8155]

Thug Mentality def the best album of all time. Where u can listen to the whole thing,every single song n listen to the whole 2 discs from start to finish n that's really rare. Like with E99 n Art of War n Resurrection too. Whereas with other albums or artists,there are only 1,2 or just a few good songs that u actually like n would listen to. Those the only albums i can listen to from start to finish. Not even a pac album im able to do that to.

[@Drfunk781]

creepin on ah come was the best to me with just 7 songs on it

[@tayeuhuru]

1. E.1999 2. creepin on ah come up 3. art of war 4.faces of death 5. resurrection 6. strength & loyalty

[@isaiahwhitmore9188]

E. 1999, Art of War, Creepin on ah come up, Thug World Order, Ressurection, Strength and Loyalty

[@tonysiv7825]

Thank you HipHopDX for making this happen. I would've never known the backstory to these projects if it wasn't for ya'll. Thank you!

[@lilsheem99]

i love this interview n i watched it again n again.

[@krayzieridah]

My TOP 3 BTNH albums 1. The Art Of War - (It's All Mo Thug, Handle The Vibe, Thug Luv, Body Rott, Look Into My Eyes, If I Could Teach The World) 2. E.1999 Eternal - (Down 71' Getaway, East 1999, Crossroad (Original), Mo Murda) 3. BTNH Resurrection - (Battlezone, Resurrection Paper Paper, 2 Glocks. The Righteous Ones) - and let's not forget Creepin On Ah Come Up - (Thuggish Ruggish Bone, Down Foe My Thang, Foe Tha Love Of Money)

[@87er_]

N I'm still waitin on an album from Wish ever since i heard E99 n especially after hearin Thug Mentality n knowin that they were releasing solo albums. N i hope it comes soon. It's jua that Wish doesn't think he's good enough compared to the others n doesn't have the confidence in himself which is why it's taking so long. But he is such an awesome n underrated artist. Especially bein my 2nd fav Bone too.

the art of war was bone signature album.

[@MinisterJokes]

I met Steve Lobel back in the late 90s before getting backstage to meet Bone. Dude was all business, that always stuck with me. Just the way he spoke and moved. He didn't even need to look at you to speak to you directly. I used that experience to incorporate some of him into me...now I'm the Boss in my little corner of the world. Appreciate you Mr Steve...

[@SuperXavi87]

I really like the art of war3 it just didn’t get promoted as much that’s why sales where not as good

[@dsmooth-pc8ik]

[@Familyman5657]

art of war is probably the most underrated album of all time.it was a transition sound with balance of raw and smooth.songs like "all original"and "player hater" can't b touched.your talking about a double CD without 1 song to skip.IDK why it's not considered as their best

[@Familyman5657]

AOW is much more than diss tracks. True they put imitators in their place but songs like it's all mo thug mind of a soulja and both family trees just to name a few shows the direction they wanted to go with their craft and showed where they were at in life...u r right about whom die they lie though,that beat and chorus show no mercy

[@TacticalTrucker]

The first version for me was more harmonizing, “it’s a regular day when Hatters hate me/ but they could never fade me/ them stuffed in the trunk of my Mercedes Krayzie ready...

[@MsNooneinparticular]

1. E. 1999 Eternal 2. Art of War (Mo' Thug: Family Scriptures) 3. Creepin' on ah Come Up 4. BTnH Resurrection (Mo' Thug II: Family Reunion) 5. New Waves 6. Thug World Order Don't really follow much of their later stuff, as they started adding Akon & other mainstream artists I didn't care for. I really liked the Mo' Thug albums too...at least the first 2. And Krayzie & Bizzy's first couple solo albums were dope.

[@atiashaunbaker3792]

Uni5 should have been the worse. The deleted tracs sounded better imo. And the group had to halt production to switch record labels to Sony. Messy logistics but getting all 5 members in the same spot for 5 minutes had to be a bigger project than the album itself . its funny how times have changed , and back then you could deposit 80k in the bank no worries. But now ??? No ! Some if not all banks that take over 10k has to report it to the IRS not to mention all the other fees and crap .

1. Art Of War perfect blend of harmony with the beats and lyrics 2. UNI5 TWE showed me something I thought bone could never do 3. Thug Stories to me would be their best if every song included bizzy 4. AOWWW111 the closest new album to the old bone sound would be better minus 3 songs and add 3 cuts from uni5 5. E.1999 eternal great album it only was generated to the streets becides crossroads which no one cared about the album except for that song 6. Strength & Loyalty only here because it shoulda been 2 cds 7. Faces Of Death is here because it wasn't long enough for me 8. Creepin on Ah Comeup only because it was an ep and there were 7 cut songs that were doper than what made it 9. RESURRECTION liked it but it only had 5 to6 full group tracks 10. T.W.O. Too many wach sounding slow bizzy verses that's why its the worst I think
