Top 10 Greatest (Midwest) #12

Krayzie Bone

Krayzie is top 5 to me. He's always been my favorite member of Bone, and his solo career is strong and consistent.

Bone as a group is top 5 easily for me. However, no solo members make it although i do like Krayzie the best out of all of them.

You can factor in his group work as well. Krayzie would have made my top 10 regardless of group material, but he's top 5 with Bone's catalog.

top 10

Neither.

Top 10. Consistent solo catalogue, dope guest appearances, a decade plus in the game, Krayzie is in the bottom of my top 10.

Top 10.

Top 5 for me. Thug Mentality is easily one of the top 5 best double albums ever, IMO

Ok, can you explain to me why DMG makes your top 10, but Krayzie does not. You gave Rigormortiz a 3 star review. I could have sworn you rated Thug Mentality higher. You even have Da Brat on your list too.

lol...I gave DMG a 3 star review a long time ago trying to be modest but I have since updated that. I like Rigormortiz more than anything Krayzie has done solo wise. When I include his work with Face Mob and Geto Boys it's a rap. I just prefer DMG in yo face aggressive style more over the rapid harmony style of Krayzie. I do like Thug Mentalitiy and his work with Bone just not enough for top 10. Bone as a whole would make my top ten grps though. And I like do like the Brat more than Krazy because she has 3 albums I really enjoy while Krayzie only has one I really like.

As I said the other day, I like Bone as a group but none of them are Top 10 solo artists.

that's funny to me cause you voted Andre 3000 as your 2nd favorite, but he's not a solo artist. If you include Bone's discog with Krayzie's solos and still vote neither, I'm ok with that, but it appears you have a double standard.

Come on now, are any members of Bone as dope as Three Stacks??? I'd even say Big Boi is doper than them as solo artists.

I've heard a few Bone solos, some were solid but none of them struck me as classic.

No, none of the members of Bone are as good as Andre, but that was never really my point. It's not fair to base this decision on strictly solo albums when you've obviously included group work for other nominees.

They would have been just top 10 as solo artists, but since we are including group material, it's a wrap. i listen to BTNH a lot.

I like Bone, but I only spin a couple of their albums frequently. They're dope, but not in the class of Wu-Tang, ATCQ, The Roots, or Outkast IMO.

That said, when groups come up I'll vote for them. Binary Star is the only Midwestern group that I dig as much.

Co-Sign...though Layzie is my favorite member...

You and me must be the only Layzie fans in the world, Norfee.
