i don't know the whole story behind Bizzy and if there's a reason he won't go back to the style he used to, but i can't deny that this effort was worse than a lot of his stuff. it's a shame that all the BTNH members have all done their solo things cuz they work so well as a group. i have Layzie's album Thug By Nature, and it's pretty good. the only member who i think can hang by himself is Krayzie Bone - that guy is brilliant. it kinda hurts me to see BTNH to be putting out all these half-assed albums (behind the harmony and that other one that came out last year) cuz they really suck. sometimes less is more. they just need to get together and make a record like they did in the 90's, that's all i want. but i guess if i have to, i'll just keep ignoring their weak stuff and listening to their good stuff cuz that's what i really want.
