"... But we are against those thugs... thugs... thugs..." 2009 double vinyl pressing of Bone's greatest hits, curiously back in print. Personally I always felt Bone and Ruthless did a great job of picking their best songs as their singles, so you can really get away with just owning the hits comp. In addition to all the bangers from their first few records ("Foe The Luv Of $," "Thuggish Ruggish," "1st Of Tha Month," "Look Into My Eyes," "Tha Crossroads" etc.), this comp goes one step further and rounds up their high-profile crossover features ("Breakdown" with Mariah Carey, "Notorious Thugs" with Biggie) and tosses in some cult classics ("Thug Luv" featuring 2pac, "Shoot Em Up") for good measure. Includes a bonus CD w/ 6 Bone instrumentals (DJ U-Neek = most underrated producer of the 90s), housed in gatefold sleeve, recommended.
