- Another Bone Thug masterpiece
Im telling yall, Bone Thugs dont get the credit they deserve. People get too caught up with rappers like Nelly(who's alright but not the most skilled rapper), Eminem(who's pretty tight for a whiteboy but its not his skills that sell his albums its his image and controversy), etc. etc. So after alot of that, its refreshing to hear and album that all I can really say is that its real. Realer than Eminem, realer than all these other commercialized rappers. This album is so deep, that as far as subject matter goes, its like on a 2Pac kind of thing. Perfect example is the song "Before I Go". This track not only bangs with its production but Bizzy's flows on this song are something I have rarely heard. Just listen to the anger in the man's voice on this track. Songs like "Still Thuggish Ruggish", "Father", and my favorite track "Dont Doubt Me", make this a must have. Then you have the rest of the album with songs like "Voices In My Head" which is not only funny but downright real."Dont Be Dumb" is another standout track. This album is something worth having believe me. I dont think anyone expected this from Bizzy Bone. And go get Layzie's album too, its hot!!

- The best Bizzy album, undisputed.
Alpha & Omega is good, and so is Heaven'z Movie, but this is simply the best of the three. Every track is perfect. Production and lyrics rock. The lyrics were great on Alpha & Omega, and the production was great on Heaven'z Movie, but this is the only album with both. Bottom line: Buy this album, or download it, who cares? You need this album.

- Lyrically sound but lacking elsewhere
There's no doubt Bizzy has a lot to talk about, and he presents the material in a way that audiences both ghetto and suburban can envision. On this album, which unfortunately can't boast great production, Bizzy lets off a lot of lyrical steam about his early life, his current trials and tribulations, and the shaky relations he was having with the rest of BTNH. However, he overdoes the singing in many places, really sounding like a little choir girl at times which can get really annoying. When he raps, he's raw as ever. "Don't Doubt Me" and "Before I Go" are good examples, and are some of his best solo efforts ever. Unfortunately, I think Bizzy is done; his performance on Thug World Order was less-than-par, and he's split from Bone now, so one can only hope that he can rebound.

- BIZZY BONE'S BEST ALBUM , YET
Bizzy Bone's latest album "The Gift " is full of surprises. Bizzy Bone Basically out did himself on this album. He goes beyond the regular rapper of now a days who only rap about money, cars, and ice. There is true depth in his lyrics and the the lyrics are better then ever. Bizzy Bone truly shows that he can make it on his own. The high pionts of this cd are "Don't be dumb", " Before I go", and "The Whole Wide World". Not to say that the other songs fall to far behind. Each song has it high point and to say the truth, this seems to be the Best solo project from a Bone Member Ever! Much Love to Bizzy, Himself!
