INTERESTING FACTS
The Name, "The Art of War" comes from the book, written by Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu. Niccolo Machiavelli, also wrote a book whose title translates to "The Art of War", he was not their influence.

At about 1:15 of "Thug Luv" (featuring 2Pac) after Bizzy's finsihed his verse, in the background, if you listen close enough, you can hear him say "He's Alive" three time, the second being the most obvious. This is interesting information to any who think that Tupac is still alive, but I think that it's stricktly for marketing value, some would argue though that he dosen't actually say it, but that it's something else.

You may have noticed that in the booklet, track 13 on WWII say's "How Many Of Us Have Them."

The Song "Whome Die They Lie" (track 12 on WWII) isn't on the cassette version of "The Art of War."

If you look closely at the picture of Layzie without his meadeville attire on, you can see that the photo's reversed. You can tell by the Mo Thug tatto on his stomache.

Bizzy is the only one without face paint or meadeville attire on in the booklet
