"I have been a fan of Bone since they dropped in 1994. I have purchased all of the albums associated with them. The Movement is a hott album. Although their last album "The Mothership" was good (not as good as Scriptures and Reunion), The Movement picks it up and takes it to a whole other level. I can not forsee Bone or Mo Thugs fallin off now, or anyime in the future. Get this album, you will not be dissatisfied. Thug Luv eternally. Thank you Bone thugs-n-haromony, Mo thug, 7th Sign, ThugLine, FBI. For all you music over these ten years here's to many more. Keep coming with that thuggish ruggish music!"
There's so much potential, so why fall so short?

"It is obvious that Bone Thugs carry Mo Thugs on every Mo Thugs album. Without Bone appearences, the Mo Thug albums would barely be worth a listen. This is most true on "The Movement" even more so than on past Mo Thug albums. Tracks 1-4 are not worth more than one listen, if that. Track 5 "Do Your Thang" with Felicia and Krayzie and Layzie Bone is just awesome. Surprisingly enough, the other standout track on the album is track 16, "Be Free", by Krayzie and Layzie. "Thug Finale" is also a good song, and also features Krayzie and Layzie. The last song worthy of mention is "Smokin on Information" with Krayzie, Layzie, and Snoop Dogg. The other occasional appearences by Layzie throughout the CD are pretty good of course as well. But the bottom line with "The Movement" is that without Bone Thugs, this CD would be worthless. I would like to see Mo Thugs acquire some new and more talented members. It's unfortunate that members like the Poetic Hustla'z left the group. Without the aquisition of more talented members, Bone Thugs might as well be featured on every Mo Thugs song. Overall, i would say this CD is worth about $7, which is what i bought it for used."

"I have been a BONE fan from way back. Although the MO Albums were never quite as good the BONE albums, this one still deserves some credit. Way better than mothership. Some of the tracks are out, there but the rest are all G-double O-D. Krayzie and Layzie's are the better tracks. Skant BONE seemed to have more energy on this one too. All in all, 4. A good appetizer until the next BONE THUGS album drops..Keep puttin it down for CLEVELAND and much luv."
Mo Thugs IV The Movement

"This album is the best Mo Thugs without the BIG help from BONE Thugs-N-Harmony. IV The Movement features Krayzie Bone, & Snoop Dogg. Other than that its just its Mo Thugs artists and Mo Thugs ownere Layzie Bone. From beginning to end this IV THE MOVEMENT is banging! This MO THUGS IV THE MOVEMENT is really worth buying!"

"After an extremely dissapointing installment of Mo Thugs (The Mothership), I was skeptical about purchasing the new one. And I'm glad I did.While this is not a perfect or near perfect album, it is still worthwhile. First, Bone Thugs~N~Harmony member Krayzie Bone is back with the group and appears on 3 tracks (Layzie Bone, now the head of the group appears on 9 tracks). Also, guests Snoop Dogg, Goodie Mob and Dirty Red help things out a bit without clogging up things. Fans who despised the last installment of Mo Thugs ("the Mothership") will be glad to know that Seldom Seen, J-Bone, Menenski, TNT and Gold are all gone from the group, leaving the better elements of the group more space to shine. Ken Dawg, Skant Bone, Felecia, and the E-Mortal Thugs are all given generous amounts of spaces and two new members, Thin C (singer and rapper) and DJ Skail (DJ and rapper), have a few tracks on the album.Some of the best tracks on the album are "Smokin' on Information" by Snoop Dogg, Layzie Bone, Skant Bone, and Ken Dawg, "It's Fast" by Ken Dawg and Dirty Red, "Thug Finale" by Krayzie Bone, Layzie Bone, Skant and E-Mortal Thugs, and "Be Free" by Layzie Bone and Krayzie Bone. Other highlights include "Can You Dig It" by Layzie Bone and Thin C and "Do Your Thang" by Layzie Bone, Felecia and Krayzie Bone.The album, however, is not without its flaws. Some members, mostly on the E-Mortal Thugs make you want to skip their verses, as they get quite redundant, repetetive and overall just plain boring. Felecia's "Who Ya Gonna Run To" is a boring, generic attempt at a mainstream song by a promising singer. Also, the Mo Thugs posse cut (back from it's absence on "the Moterhsip), "The Movement" is very sloppily made. I can understand how it is hard to get things together on a track with so many people, but they were able to pull it off on "Family Scriptures" (the song) and "The Otherside" quite well, with more people.The CD also comes with the video for the single "All Life Long".Pick this one up."
