To me Bone has always been much more about how they delivered the lyrics as opposed to the actual lyrics. I was never able to hear everything they were saying. This was a well known thing back in the day. I remember in high school people would brag about being able to understand everything that was said. I love what they do over tracks - but I don't view them as lyricists. The production was not top notch either.
I agree with that partially. They are certainly a group that is about styles of MC'in, with the melody, rhythm and speeds they do. Those are obviously as you know MC skills though. So I have to give them props for that. Lyrics wise, they are putting together some serious lyrics at times, and other times it's more melody orientated. Ah, see that might be where/why we have the difference of opinion, cause I can hear 99 percent of what they are all saying. So it's probably hitting me harder than it's hitting you due to that fact. Bone have a lot of great content in their work, street content but also have some consciousness and positivity. Your probably missing that if you can't understand everything their saying. Which is fair enough, just personally I can hear what they are saying largely. I love the energy they brought to the table, the songs, everything. I love Bone Thugz. So many MC's within the group I rate highly too. Krayzie and Bizzy can REALLY spit at a high level. So can Layzie, Wish has his own dope style too. That's understandable, I see where your coming from, but ultimately disagree cause they are putting some very dope lyrics together. I always liked their production too, I think they made some GREAT music. So it's just a matter of taste which have to respect ultimately.
