Please PM me on laundro with a list of ones you'd like burnt with a link to your cd list so maybe we can set up a trade. Also for those of you who have original cds you are are looking to rid yourself of I offer to burn 10 cds for 1 original. Please note however none of my original cds are for sale or trade. I am still working on compiling it all together. So, to sum it all up, although the album is not as perfect as "Thug Mentalilty", and although there are no star rappers featured on it, it's still one of the best albums that came out in 2001.Here is my CD list. Don't get me wrong - it's not that the Thug Line rappers are not good, it's just that they aren't good enough to be on almost every single song! Of course, Krayzie Bone shines through the whole album, and he is SO GOOD, and the beats are so great (on most songs) that the other rappers don't really ruin the song, just make you wish it was Krayzie rapping instead of them. And the result of all this, is that on most songs, you just wait for Krayzie's verse to arive. On his first album, Krayzie had to establish himself as a solo artist, and boy, did he do an awesome job at that! But now, on his second album, he sacrificed album sales (maybe even hundrieds of thousand copies of albums sold) in order to introduce the world the artists on his label. And the trouble is, that those rappers are average at their best. But on this album, it's dominated by the whole Thug Line Records roster, while Krayzie Bone has just a few solo songs by himself. After saying those great things about "Thug On Da Line" you might ask yourself, so what's so different in it? I'll tell you - on his debut album Krayzie Bone had some of the best rappers in the game drop guest appearences (E-40, Eightball & MJG, Snoop Dogg, Treach, Fat Joe, Gangsta Boo and many more) while still having a lot of solo songs too.
Like his first solo, Krayzie keeps bringing us beats that sound so different than anything else we hear these days. Another thing that stayed the same is his unique production. And I won't even start with his singing talents that add so much flava to so many of the songs. And on others (the best ones) his voice is rawer and harder than anyone else in the rap game, with Krayzie delivering straight thug noone can match. On some songs, you can hear his incredible lighspeed fast rapping, on others he slows it up and delivers some sylky smooth lyrics. No other rapper in the game can match his versatility. He's still one of the greatest and most talented rap artists these days. But I'll start with the things that have stayed the same. But don't get me wrong - in now way has Krayzie fallen off. I got start with saying that Krayzie Bone's second album is not as good and perfect as his classic debut "Thug Mentality". And, on a side note, I can't wait for the Kneight Riduz album. This album only gets better the more you listen to it. Tracks like "Rolling Up Some Mo" and "Kneight Riduz Wuz Here" are excellent examples, despite Krayzie being a no-show on the Kneight Riduz song.
Krayzie still comes hard on tracks like "Da Thugs" and the title track, "Thug On Da Line." This album wasn't ment to be an album to get hype to. The most powerful song on this album is either "Talk to Myself" or "Hard Time Hustlin." These songs display another side of Krayzie, the always mellow Bone Thugs member. However, after the second listening, I really started to enjoy myself listening to the smooth production and tight lyrical skills by Krayzie and his Thugline bretheren.
I guess i wasn't ready to listen to Krayzie Bone on some R&B tip. I mean, it wasn't the same "Heated Heavy" Krayzie Bone from "Thug Mentality 1999." I always think of that album as one of the greatest. When I first listened to this album, i thought it wasn't that good of an album.
