Free Flesh N' Bone!!!!.......2006-05-24

Flesh N' Bone was like the sweetest off Bone Thugs next to Bizzy because he had that skill to just have you like oooohhhhh that's hard. He did a great job on his first CD this is like a classic for me. There's alot of a good songs on here like "Sticks and Stones", "Empty The Clip", and "World So Cruel". Great album off da bones archives. A lot of people startin' to think Bone Thugs gettin' too old now but I tell them to hate on the Thuggish Ruggish. This is a must have album. Free Flesh N' Bone and free my cousin Quincy!

Not Just About the Lyrics.......2006-04-29

I'm a huge bone thugs fan, one thing that always strikes me is their variation of the stuttered flow and speed. As opposed to Twista who raps only at his speed without much variation.

It goes without out saying that Flesh is heavily underrated. If some of you so called Hip/Hop, Rap fans listen to the rapping style (flow) rather than just the lyrics you might appreciate the style better.

For example has any of you heard Flesh at the end of Handle the Vibe (no, it's not on the album). As somebody mentioned elsewhere on these reviews; listen to Mystic Spirits - he maintains a steady flow with ease over the beat.

On another note Bone were very experienced rappers for their age, also before Bizzy became spiritual Flesh was doing the spiritual stuff first just go through the albums and listen!!!!

For those who still think what the hell is he talkin' about listen to Deadly on 5th Dawg Let Loose.

Check these songs out, also feat Flesh:

Too Greedy - Skit
BYOB - Last track from 5th Dawg (japanese import)
Roof is Leaking
Untouchable - RWO feat Flesh (his final verse is awesome)

A CD worth buying.......2006-02-25

This Cd is one of the best CD's ever, no doubt. My favorite track is "Northcoast" because it has one of the sickest most relaxing beat that i have ever heard. I like the little Jazz sound it has in the chorus. this CD is worth buying because Flesh really shows his talent as a rapper. Believe me you wanna get this album because it is a jewl.

Good album but not a classic.......2006-02-19

"T.H.U.G.S." was the first Bone solo and displayed a similar style to the classic "E. 1999 Eternal" album. However, it falls short when trying to stack up with that album. Flesh wasn't really a big part of that album, so on "T.H.U.G.S." we finally see what he is truly capable of. There are a handful of really great songs on this album, and there are also some unnecessary filler tracks. Flesh-N-Bone is interesting to listen to on this album because he tries to walk the line between a spiritual, god fearing rapper and a murderous criminal, which makes some tracks less convincing than others. Overall, "T.H.U.G.S." is a good album by all means but doesn't really stack up to a lot of the other Bone Thugs releases.

"T.H.U.G.S." starts out with a few very spiritual tracks. The intro is just the Lord's prayer over some scary music. This gives way to the title track, a pretty spiritual track with a good chorus and beat. "Rev Run Sermon" lets the great Joseph Simmons get a little preaching in. "World So Cruel" is one of the better songs here, a message track with good verses by Flesh and Run and a nice hook. The best track on the CD is "Nothin But Da Bone In Me". It's a very raw, hard song, with a great piano and instrumental beat, it's got an almost g-funk style and Flesh rips his trademark triple time rhymes. "Northcoast" is another of the best songs, a very laidback track with great instrumentals and a relaxed singing sample. "The Silence Isn't Over" is a very hard song, but like a lot of the songs on the second half of the album, it goes on for too long (6+ minutes). "Crazy By The Flesh" is a good song, a weird chorus supplied with a great bassline makes it worth it. The second half of the album is much worse than the first, plagued by unnecessarily long and repetitive filler tracks. The exception is "Comin to Serve You" where Flesh and BG Knocc Out display great chemistry. The album ends with two pretty strong tracks, "No Mercy" with Fat Joe and Big Pun and "Playa Hater with Layzie and Krayzie Bone.

This album had the potential to be a really great album but fell short. Flesh-N-Bone is a pretty talented rapper, he has a lot to say but sometimes he's so fast that he kind of leaves your head spinning. His voice is good to listen to, kind of between Layzie and Bizzy Bone's voice. "T.H.U.G.S." is a good album to listen to if you can find it, but don't expect any "East 1999 Eternal" or the like here.

Knocc Out and Flesh, my glocks to techs, we comin 2 serve ya.......2005-12-23
