(rap vocals); Mariah Carey (vocals); Henry Rollins, Flea. | | Producers include: Damon Elliot, Mariah Carey, Yella, Sean "Puffy" Combs, D.J. U-Neek. | | No one ever wore the mantle of progressive hip-hop as effectively as Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Combining sophisticated production techniques, gymnastic verbal abilities and a strong social conscience, Bone Thugs emerged from Cleveland as the true voice of the streets, setting a hip-hop standard hundreds of lesser acts would immediately follow. THE COLLECTION presents the most significant tracks from the Bone Thugs catalog, and the song selection is effective and representative. From the female chorus on "Foe Tha Love of Money" to the analog synth hooks of "1st of tha Month" the Bone Thugs gift for combining pop/R&B sensibilities with highly skilled raps is apparent. Fans will be pulled in by the bonus track "P.O.D.," but those unfamiliar with the Bone Thugs' work will find this a great place to begin. |
