My 10 most listened Bone songs
THUG LUV, LOOK INTO MY EYES remix, EAST 1999, DA INTRO,DOWN 71(tha Getaway), BONE BONE, BODY ROTT, THUGGISH RUGGISH BONE
FOE THA LOVE OF MONEY

This is a great Bone album like the rest of them. The good thing about them is when you listen to thier music you don't want to be a Bone wanabee(thier first 3 studio albums desurve 5 stars, especialy East/Eturnal 1999, it's rated 1 of the best rap albums of all time), if you listen to the album that I wouldn't like to listen to, G UNIT, some people who listen to it want to beat people up and this is not the case with Bone thugs.

This gets 3 stars because I don't like some of the remixes. This would of got 2 stars if it weren't for LOOK IN TO MY EYES remix, ThugLuv(on Art of war) and unreleased old Bone track SLEEPWALKERS. They're some of Bone's best work.

I'll rate each track with 5 being the best

C LAND I.A. (3.5) Electric guitar synth and it's a Bizzy and Flesh duo, I prefer Frontline warriors and this track takes longer to grow onto you.

DON'T HATE ON ME (3.9) This is great because it's got Krazie, J Brat and J Dupri. No weak verse and all 3 Rap differently and not the same. Krayzie flows with Beat best and J BRAT raps more hardcore(not as hardcore as Krayzie on East 1999 single). J Dupri raps slower but he is still cool.

THUG LUV featuring 2pac 5/5. The second best to me and this has repeated shotgun blasts with piano synths. Bizzy does best because he is straight hardcore and rapped faster than Twista has probably ever done, if Bizzy wasn't on this track this wouldn't be one of Bone's best songs. 2 pac is next(he doesn't disappoint) and is not fast and he steels the show of best lyrics. Layzie is next and as usual, he uses his amazing flowing skills but his voice is soft in it. Krazie is next and flows pretty hard was well. Wish doesn't do so well and he got worse from East 1999 were he was so much better. He sais my favourite line 'put the cord into the mother f*ck*r.

HOOK IT UP 4/5. This is underated but this is great and it's a no limit song with Master P(M P) and Silk the Shocker. The song starts with Layzie and M P on There Cell phone. Then M P raps chorus by saying I've got the hook it up it up. Krayzie is up next and sounds different as usual which is good, Layzie is strong as usual and Wish has my favourite lyrics and makes me imagine them running with asualt guns through buildings whilst shooting them haters and police(I'm no thug or phyco). Silk does fine and raps fast.

LOOK INTO MY EYES remix 5/5 this has a better tune than the original. My favourite verse on original was Layzie's and now it's Bizzie's. This has melodic tune and has a bit of electric guitar was well. The new music makes all the verses have a better beat and this it's now very catchy.

WEEDMAN. 5/5 This is just Bizziy from Bone and special guests. A great soft tune to chill to and Bizzie uses his high pitched voice like he used from The Art of War and onwards.

FRONTLINE WARIORS.Featuring Big B 5/5 A Layzie and Bizzie duo then Big B at the end. Now Layzie is soft and doesn't rap as good as he did on East/Eturnal 1999 album, his softer voice fits in perfectly with the deep base in the background. Listen to sleepwalkers(2nd verse) and that's got Layzies old style and you'll agrea that he used to be better in some ways. Bizzy raps just as good.

GHETTO COWBOY 4/5 Featuring Thug Queen, Krayzie Bone and Layzie. This is a comedy track and I don't find it funny because I don't have a sense of hummar with songs. Krayzie sounds different and Layzie gives him help along the way.

Sleepwalkers.Faturing Eazy 5/5 Most Americans say that this is da bomb and it is. This is an old track and why this wasn't on Creepin on ah come up or East 1999 is beyond me(maybe it was because it's short or it was not finished produced). Eazy E(R.I.P)uses great lyrics and after his verse you here an explosion and Layzie comes in and he's catchier as ever. He was my favourite rapper from East 1999 and this shows why. When krayzie comes in you can tell it's the young thug and he rapped more hardcore than he does now. Bizzy is next and does the most hardcore. He makes my head bob. Wish comes in and is not as hot as the rest of them thugs but he raps fast towards the end for 5 secs.

FAVOURITE SONGS(IN ORDER OF BEST)

1. SLEEPWALKERS.FEATURING EAZY E
2. THUG LUV
3. LOOK INTO MY EYES remix(better than original)
4. FRONTLINE WARRIORS
5. WEEDMAN, Bizzy Bone with special guests

If they want to be soft from T.W.O, then they should do songs like Frontline Warriors, Bone Bone or Weedman.

Collection Of What?
Usually greatest hits collections and best of compilations are served as budget releases of artists that have large catalogues. For the average listener it would be far too tedious to sift through all an artists albums for the best cuts. This is not the case with Bone Thugs' "Collection Volume Two". This release is the second in line of "Best Of" albums released by Bone and at the point of it's release they had only released one EP and two proper LPS, with the group not even in existence for a decade. So what you get with this second collection is a lot of rare tracks and remixes, and none of the more famous songs the group is noted for. Aside from this the album does feature some varied production from all over the rap world. You get the groups mid-west mainstay DJ U-Neek, west coast vet LT Hutton and southern fav's Jermaine Dupri & Beats By The Pound. Bone themselves sound interesting as usual in addition to diverse guests: 2Pac, Da Brat, J.D., Master P. Silkk The Shocker, Eazy-E and the Mo Thugs Family. Now I'll get into the strong and weak points...

Thug Luv ft/ 2Pac ~ When some of the biggest "thug life" promoters in hip hop connect you know something special is going to go down. It contains a very sinister element that anyone who is familiar with 2Pac's Makaveli period knows. Using 2Pac's authoritative adlibbing, echo effects, gun shots, and screams to it's advantage. The music is just as chilling supplied by U-Neek using quick piano rolls and hard driven bass and synthesizers laid among the effects. Pac slows ish down on this one developing an effective contrast between Bone's generally fast paced flows. Also Bizzy stands out with his opening verse that somewhat foreshadows the angrier tone he often now uses.

2 Glocks (U-Neek's Remix) ~ U-Neek brings a funked out remix of one the Bone Thugs' lesser known classics. Using an interpolation of "Ridin' High" with wah wah guitars, pounding keys and kold bass. The lyrics are standard thug fair but Krayzie Bone's soulful hook makes you almost forget the hard stances.

Look Into My Eyes (Atlantis Remix) ~ This has always been a favourite Bone song of mine and with a remixed beat by DJ U-Neek using the guitar riff from the Isley Brother's "Voyage To Atlantis. Krayzie Bone's anti-biter verse comes off the freshest, although Lazy's is also worth mention.

Change The World (U-Neek's Remix) ~ Now unlike 2 Glocks and Look Into My Eyes, U-Neek does not do the OG song justice. Now the lyrics are clever and sometimes intelligent, reflecting on the social evils such as aids, crime and police brutality but gone is most of the beautiful harmonizing. I can't get into the somewhat western sounding string laced production either. This could have been one of the surefire Bone classics this disc lacks
Ghetto Cowboy ~ The classic category is covered by this cut now. It's a Mo Thugs song with Krayzie and Lazy. With a harmonica looped production by some dude, Anthony Henderson. The rappers take us on an outlaw journey of the old west without sounding corny or lame. A fairly original concept.

For all it's good intentions this disc just simply isn't worth it. The rare tracks aren't that great, the remixes would have been better off replaced with the originals. They should have waited til after they released "Resurrection" & "Thug World Order" and maybe thrown in some solo joints from Krayzie, Flesh and Bizzy to make it more worthy. So for the casual listener I advise collection 1 and the fans will already have the album cuts so this is only for the most die hard collectors, 1.5 stars. Peace, Love & Soul...

P.S. I am not hating on Bone I love their music but this a useless release.

ITS OK
This cd is ok, it is not there best but it is still tight, the best song on the album is weedman, but it only has bizzy bone in it, that song is tight, then another classic song is Ghetto Cowboy, and then there is a really gangsta style song on it, Sleepwalkers, with Easy-e they RIP it in that song, bizzy and krazy are off the hook fa sho, so i gave this cd a 3 stars. People who dont really like bone thugs wont like this, only the hardcore fan like me, so if u really like them get it, if u dont, well then dont waste your money....PEACE OUT

CLEVELAND IN YOUR FACE!!!!!!!!
