Afyer bones 2nd cd he should have made a solo attrmpt, after that all that "mo thugs" shyt killed theit thunder
Why did Bizzy Bone solo career never take off?
- Thread starter African Peasant
- Start date
His flow was complementary to the group but couldnt carry a whole song (tho I do like One Night Stand from BtnhResurrection), much less an album.
Don't think I could listen to Heavenz Movie front to back like the other btnh albums, never checked for anything after that. Haven't heard it in years so I may have to refresh my memory

I think Bone as a group and their solo careers would've have been more successful if Eazy was alive. Eazy-E was a visionary, so there's no telling what heights they could've reached.
Flesh went solo first shyt his first album came out on Def Jam

He’s perfect as a change of pace on a track . Has some of the coldest guest appearances of all time (even though it sounds like gibberish). For some reason I just hated listening to Bizzy by himself on a song.

I listened to his first solo album and studied his career in preparation for a podcast that I never ended up getting on.
His Heaven'z Movie album is actually flames and very creative. If I had to guess why it never took off is a lack of a superstar features, and dude didn't have hits, just good songs. So it was a lack of commercialism.
If you fast forward to his other albums you'll see that he had a tight knit group of guys he made music with, most of them are unknown artists, and the albums themselves were very obscure. That and the combination of drugs and overall batshyt craziness was probably enough to do his career in.

It's funny, I think the one group this didn't happen to was Outkast. I guess it's because they got out the game before the shift really could take place.
Further, he began to cheapen whatever brand he had left by doing a bunch of collabs with bootleg nobodies.
Yes, Bone was jukked in that deal but he also lacked some business acumen.
He actually is a nice guy at his core, but too mentally unstable to this day from past trauma and drugs.
I always thought he had the oddest voice change from their Faces of Death EP to when they blew up.
First? I think Flesh has that honor. He was locked up when Bone started to pop, but when he got released he dropped his own album. This was back in the mid 90s I believe.
