Bizzy Bone Album: “Greatest Rapper Alive”

From BTnH board:

"I asked Bizzy what his original plan was for this up to this point. First off, he had someone financially invest in the project, but they backed out of the deal. Since then, he was trying see if anyone would pick up the album to distribute it, but he hadn't heard anything up until I asked him about the album and showed him the tracklist. His plan was to capitalize on the mixtape market and release 4 mixtapes, but he wanted it to be pushed in terms of promotion with radio and video play, rather than just use the Internet and his name as promotion. To find out that the album is being released without his knowledge and because he didn't receive money as a result, the next step is pretty obvious. That is why Bizzy is not endorsing this project. So to answer your question, yes, only DJ UNeek will be getting paid from this album."

hence the album title...still a decent album with some nice tracks. Too bad most of the tracks sound raw and unfinished. Bizzy keeps getting burned by the industry but he keeps rolling on and recording.

This album is pretty good. There's some good insight into Bizzy Bone's opinions on cheating (Shoes N Clothes), growing up in a hard world (Young Man), and, as the album suggests, being the "Greatest Rapper Alive". Of course, different people will have their own opinions on if he is or isn't in comparison to other rappers. I am a biased Bizzy Bone fan though and although I like many artists, he did a good job on this album. Production seemed pretty tight. DJ UNeek, the well known Bone Thugs producer, produces on this album. Check it out.

Get some good bizzy with Ruthless, The Gift and A Song For You. This is not nearly as good as those.. or Bone Brothers. Hopefully he comes out with something better in the next couple albums and they dont stay like these last 2 releases.
