If you try to comprehend Bizzy it may be no more complicated than his “Cowboy” sentiments: “You know I like to play, and fuck, and get drunk, and smoke drugs/with the boys in the club, in the back fucked up.” All three can be heard on “Nintendo,” and yes that’s represented on the cover too (an old school NES controller). Three things have never changed about Bryon McCane a/k/a Bizzy Bone in all these years – his unique vocal pitch, his raspy sung delivery and his smooth flow. Rappers can still make good music long after they’re considered relevant in the mainstream, much like past their prime Hollywood actors can appear in independent films and still be critically praised for their acting ability. That’s probably not the conclusion you were expecting after reading this far, and to be honest I led you down the primrose path a bit with the opening paragraph. Now despite the lack of recognizable guests, the UTTER lack of consideration from any of his fellow Bone Thugs rappers (so much for that reunion), the bizarre artwork and the equally bizarre lack of focus topically on the album, this IS a good album. In fact none were even considered worthy of mention on the album’s cover, though the liner notes and the iTunes sync reveal that Jonny Craig is on “Bottled Up Like Smoke,” Devin Oliver is on “Cowboy” and Danny Worsnop is on “Automatic Rewind.” I had to check that last name three times to make sure it wasn’t a typo – that’s the actual spelling. Of course it’s not even entirely clear that Bizzy is religious – the album comes with no parental advisory sticker and features songs like “The Soul” but on said same track he raps “I get to flippin and fuckin ’em up/after that Layzie tell me shoot ’em up, shootin ’em up.” Word to God? As for the issue of relevance in 2010, Bizzy Bone may not seem like a big star next to Justin Bieber, but the supposed guest stars on this CD aren’t notable next to Bizzy Bone either.

The only religions I’ve ever known paired with Stonehenge are pagan ones from pre-Christian times. If you can figure out what “Stonehenge” has to do with any of this other than the song’s chorus (where he vows to keep it “stone cold right to the bone bone”) you’re a wiser man than I. I was born to sing these heavenly songs with soul” I’m regarded as a sellout or a false friend but the truth be Jesus, had a plan befo’ anyone ever knew me I live my life I’m on the stage presence of painĪnd I’m thinkin if I had fangs, nobody would bother me I summarize my solutions, thinks restitution and realize “Different obstacles, warrants for being victimized

Yes – there IS a song called “Stonehenge.” McCane speaks of biblical prophecy and personal struggle in it: The artwork’s confusing miasma of symbolism is relevant for Bizzy Bone as it seems to reflect the equally confusing “Crossroads” song choices, as if the artist tried to work each and every title into the cover visually. On one side of the crossroads he stands at is Stonehenge, on the other side is the Sphinx and an Egyptian pyramid with its peak replaced by the Eye of Providence. The ground around him is littered with broken skulls and empty liquor bottles (telling). UFO’s float in the sky on either side on this heavenly instrument – we’re talking Ed Wood sci-fi D-movie level UFO’s. The album shows a figure (presumably McCane) reaching up toward a microphone bathed in heavenly light for salvation, standing at what are the crossroads of his life. It should be noted right at the start that “Crossroads 2010” may have the strangest Bone related cover art of all time. It may just be that Bone’s harmonious sound is dated and that hip-hop as a whole has passed them by, collectively and individually. He attempted to reunite with Bone Thugs for a new group album this year with equally lackluster results. When I mentioned to mixed reviews, while few have achieved large scale commercial success.
