Obviously, some of this is material that (if you're a die hard bone fan) you've probably heard before. And yes, looking through the linear notes, you might start to think this is a little shady in terms of legality (the song "Ride Wit Me" by "Layzie Bone featuring Eazy-E actually only samples N.W.A.'s Boyz N Da Hood, and it's accredited as a sample of "Cruisin In My '64" on Comptown Records. LOL) BUT this compilation had a lot to offer me in terms of music I HADN'T heard before. For example, the aforementioned "Ride Wit Me" is a seemingly basic southern-influenced chopped n screwed track, BUT with Layzie's adept flow and catchy beat, it's a surefire classic. Also, his collaborations with Thin C (mostly rock influenced, which surprised me) are all above par. In fact, the only real problems I have with this double disc delight are the short tracks (like Nas/Nashawn's Choir Song, and Krayzie Bone's Momma Used Ta Say) and the fact that some songs don't even feature Bone Thugs artists! But still, it's mostly good material, and a good couple of cds to bump in the whip until Bone Thugs release a new album. Props!

Album is pretty good. But it's really random on how everything was put together. Never knew the cd existed till I saw it at Best Buy. I took a risk and bought it. Not bad

Album was excellent, only flaw is most of the songs are short but it didn't bother me much except the Choir Song, but other than that songs like You're A Star, Mama Used To Say & Warriors made this album a must have in my collection.
