I think they def could have and SHOULD have been a top 5 group but their inconsistency with albums and their lacklustre solo work has let them down IMO. that’s one big difference between them and Wu, Bone should have had at least 2 or 3 classic or great solo albums after Art Of War but it didn’t happen for several reasons

How you disrespect them but stan Asap Rocky? :dwillhuh:

Rocky in the grand scheme of things is like 5% Bone (at best), and y'all already know this. He took the only decent thing about them which is the pattern of their flow, and discarded the other choir-boy bullshyt (which is a masterstroke to be honest - like picking out a piece of steak from a shyt sandwich). Vocally he's vastly superior to them. Everything else from production to voice to subject matter he sounds nothing like them.

But y'all are welcome to keep forcing it to give Bone some clout. They'll still be opening for Jurassic 5 no matter how you spin it :pachaha:

LOL!

Another thing, he and his crew have yet to drop albums that can even begin to compare to Bone's albums in their prime.

Just like The Wu, they withstood the 90's and fell off post 2000.
We talking bout GROUPS not solo artists. Their work COLLECTIVELY AS A GROUP.
The Wu's last great album was The W and Bone's last great album was BTNHResurrection.
Both albums came out in 2000.

I wouldn't hate on anyone who ranks them that high, even #1, but they're not in mine - top 10 though.

If you include their solo projects that's one hell of a body of work :salute:

Top 5 might be pushing it. Top 10 is probable though.

I would put these guys above Bone but if they're in your personal top 5 that's cool.

shyt, I'm good with both discs. Even the so called "weaker" songs still go so hard. It's just the album was filled with great songs that even the weak 1s ain't even really, just only when you compare em' to what's stronger on the album.

Classic long distance traveling music.

i agree both disc go hard even today. They really aged well. Krayzie really sculpted a great album
