Go To

1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The ''Eternal'' album universally speaking. For the core fanbase it also includes ''The Art Of War''.
2* SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments: ''Strength & Loyalty'' album. Went gold when no other rappers from their era was going gold. Not only that but with just 3/5 of the group no less.
3* BaseBreakingCharacter: Bizzy has either become enlightened and more of a deep introspective artisan, or a self indulgent, pretentious, narcissistic jack ass who almost derailed the group.
4* EnsembleDarkHorse: The group itself could qualify in the context of the Hip-Hop scene. Their success came out of nowhere, nobody expected them to last as long as they did, and this is in spite of their lack of respect from the industry.
5* EpilepticTrees: Fan theories about the group's misfortunes being linked to their obsession with the Ouija board. Not to mention the speculation that they are cursed, because a lot of their collaboration partners are dead:
6** Their mentor Eazy-E (Layzie has openly accused this of being the product of an evil conspiracy, and not without good questions).
7** [[Music/TupacShakur 2Pac]].
8** Music/TheNotoriousBIG.
9** Big Punisher.
10** Mariah Carey's sanity circa 2002/2003.
11* FandomRivalry: A very bitter one with Music/{{Migos}}.
12* MemeticMutation: Layzie Bone's "Look what the wind blew in" Lyric became this as he recycles the verse a lot. Wish Bone's solo album that's always "Coming Soon", and the fat jokes. The Mutations have got on some fans nerves.
13* NewbieBoom: Post-"Tha Crossroads", and probably again after "I Tried".
14* NightmareFuel: A lot of their earlier material from ''Faces of Death'' up to ''The Art Of War''. Specifically songs like the "Mr. Ouija" tracks, "Mo'Murder", "Hell Sent", "Sons of Assassins", etc…
15* QuestionableCasting: Featuring Phil Collins in "Home". See Heartwarming Moments above to see how it worked a lot better than one would think.
16* SignatureSong: Thuggish Ruggish Bone, and Tha Crossroads.
17* TearJerker: "Tha Crossroads", made more powerful when watching the music video (which has a mysterious black man in a leather trenchcoat and dark glasses taking the spirits of anyone who has died: a man at a funeral, a teen who got shot in the street, an old man playing cards who his grandson, and worse of all, a premature baby at the hospital).
18%%* TheLawOfFanJackassery: Or ex-fans in some cases.
19* TheyChangedItNowItSucks:
20** Primarily after they started to shy away from darker occult themes, tone, and beats.
21** When they started infusing more R&B.
22** Using standard song structures like verse choruses verse. When they use to trade back to back interwoven verses then followed by a chorus (if there is a chorus).
23** Being more overt with the religious/spiritual symbolism. Particularly Bizzy, Krayzie is now starting to get this as well.
24** Moving further away from their old producers.
25%%* ToughActToFollow: ''Eternal'' (and to a VERY slight lesser degree ''Art Of War'').
26* VindicatedByHistory: After the absolute failure and implosion of ''The World's Enemy'' album fans are starting to appreciate ''Strength & Loyalty'' more.
27%%* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotDidactic
