When I first listened to this album, i thought it wasn't that good of an album. I mean, it wasn't the same "Heated Heavy" Krayzie Bone from "Thug Mentality 1999." I always think of that album as one of the greatest. I guess i wasn't ready to listen to Krayzie Bone on some R&B tip. However, after the second listening, I really started to enjoy myself listening to the smooth production and tight lyrical skills by Krayzie and his Thugline bretheren. The most powerful song on this album is either "Talk to Myself" or "Hard Time Hustlin." These songs display another side of Krayzie, the always mellow Bone Thugs member. Don't worry though. Krayzie still comes hard on tracks like "Da Thugs" and the title track, "Thug On Da Line." This album wasn't ment to be an album to get hype to. It's an album to mellow out to. Tracks like "Rolling Up Some Mo" and "Kneight Riduz Wuz Here" are excellent examples, despite Krayzie being a no-show on the Kneight Riduz song. This album only gets better the more you listen to it. And, on a side note, I can't wait for the Kneight Riduz album. Man, that will be krayzie!!

Well worth the money, and well worth the wait.
Having listened to Bone Thugs and Harmony back in the day when they first broke out on the scene, I never paid them much attention, just heard their music either on the radio or at someone's house and pretty much left it at that.

Then I started listening to each artist, starting with Flesh N Bone (5th Dog Let Loose) and decided to try Krayzie's cd. At first I didn't think I would like it until I heard the songs Can't Hustle Forever, Talk to Myself and Gemini. After that I was sold. Since I purchase a great deal of music music online, I was instantly searching for Thug on the Line to download, to no avail...I was able to download maybe 11 songs (that I purchased of course) but not the entire cd. I started listening to the full cd on Lycos Rhapsody and let me tell you, Everybody Wanna Be Thugs, If You A Thug, Knieght Riduz Was here are now staples to play...Personally I enjoy the entire album, and I truly like what Krayzie has to say, regardless of who produced the album. This cd has substance, something that a great deal of artists lacks today...

Although I was not a stone cold Bone fan, I am slowly becoming one thanks to Bizzy, Krayzie, and Flesh...

This is definitely a cd for your collection!

After listening to this CD one will agree that Krayzie Bone is evolving into a more mature and well rounded artist. The most often heard complaint about B.T.N.H. is that they rap too fast to be understood. In Thug on da Line, Krayzie has slowed down his melodic flow and added some elevated insight to his lyrical content. Tracks like "talk to myself" and "hard time hustlin" are a great breath of fresh subject matter that is dealt with in a deep narrative. compared to the constantly rapped about subjects that can be found on radio air play; Krayzie adds depth to the streets.I love hip hop. But lately, hip hop is turning into a very redundant offering. Krayzie Bone's new offering isn't the mecha of change, but it does restore some of the excitement in the genre. This album would have been tight without the sharing of mic time with his new roster of artists. Krayzie could have also done without the absolutely-what was he smoking-wack "mambo no. 5" inspired song: "rollin up some mo"

I think that Krayzie deserves his props for his music because in it you can find that there is alot to just being Krayzie Bone. He delivers those hypnotic sounds that makes you get relaxed and moreover..Thugged out. his beats are created by artistic hands and should not be underated. Krayzie is by far the best Bone Thug to ever successfully reach out and touch thug-fans where ever they may be. I am a southern rap artist as well and I can relate to what Krayzie is doing. He is hustling for his and maybe if people open their eyes and see what Krayzie is trying to tell them..then they will accept him not just for his music, but for his Thug Mentality as well. Not only that but for keeping fellow thug members like Wish Bone on the Thug Line. Perhaps Krayzie can help Wish come out with something and then you fans will witness true creativity within Krayzie Bone.

Thug on Da line = 5/5, Hard Time Hustlin Best song on Album and everything else top notch ! get it time after time
