There is a certain connection between the title of this album and the ancient Chinese art of war book “The Art of War”, especially when using the term The Art of War.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s album contains songs about violence, street struggle, and survival, with lyrics that also discuss street survival strategies. Compared with “The Art of War”, these songs may have borrowed some ideas of military strategy and applied them to street culture and life. However, this connection is mostly expressed in the album’s title and some of its lyrics, rather than an actual military strategy manual.

Overall, while the album’s title may have been inspired by Sun Tzu’s Art of War, the musical content focuses primarily on street survival and social issues rather than traditional military strategy.

Sabaton The Art of War

The Art of War is the fourth album by Swedish heavy metal band Sabaton.

The album is based on the ancient Chinese military treatise, The Art of War written by General Sun Tzu in the 6th century BC. It consists of 13 chapters, each of which describe a different aspect of warfare, and is considered the definitive work on military tactics and strategies of its time. The tracks on the album correspond to each chapter of treatise. The lyrics of the songs are about famous battles or war, mostly based on the battles of the First and Second World Wars where Sun Tzu’s tactics were applied.

The second track and first full song of the album, “Ghost Division”, is notable as the song Sabaton usually plays first in live concerts, ever since the album’s release.
