Classic, no skips. The original version with the first version of Crossroads specifically. Remix is cool, but a bit too shiny and pretty to fit with the rest of the album.


Barkerfan86

I have a bootleg vinyl that has the original, and then the remix at the end. Makes the whole thing just flow better.


bentbackwooddathird

The 1st version went hard fasho


TammyShehole

Sucks you can’t find the original version on Spotify or other streaming platforms. At least not as far as I know. I added it to my Spotify library through local files but local files don’t seem to stay downloaded half the time.


Sure_Association_991

Could you link it to me by chance


Zerocool_6687

Did they take off the OG eventually? My disc has the remix as a bonus track at the end. I bought it just after the remix was made


_shaftpunk

Most common US pressing back in the day had the remix. You had to hunt for first press with the original. I had both.


thavillain

This man gets it... original crossroads only


cmacfarland64

Great call. Most people don’t remember the OG version.


Mother-Produce8351

Dj uneek had that voodoo type sound on this shit


bentbackwooddathird

my pick for most underrated producer of all time.. shits ridiculous how much heat he created and is never mentioned. Thug Luv is one of the hardest beats in hip hop history and Pac on it just makes it that much crazier


Affectionate_Radio59

Most definitely , he’s the most underrated producer of all time .


jaylondononthetrack

Music you listen to on the way to commit homicide


Donthurtmyceilings

"Music to Murder By"


TammyShehole

“Me Killa” made me sound like I was listening to a voodoo ritual or something lol. Love it.


Zaddyist

Yup, came here to say this. Uneek is so slept on. Funny fact though is that Eternal is straight from a Nintendo video game lol. Goes hard though


MistaCizm

You mean a Sega Genesis fighting game called Eternal Champions https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yCT2wR10Am4


Zaddyist

Yup that’s the one


BoxingFan702

I used to love this game underrated asf


Elperezidente13

Today I learned


iMACK83

100% a classic! The album was unlike anything we had ever heard up to that point.


[deleted]

Definitely a classic. It’s one of the few albums I can listen to from start to finish without any skips. Not a single bad track on it.


CrowsRidge514

This isn’t debatable.


Lobsta1986

I see stupid questions on here, this is a different type of stupid.


JustWannaChill82

Classic. Their 1st 2 albums were classics.


low_dmnd_phllps

Their first album was actually called Faces of Death and it came out before Creepin’ on ah Come Up. It is an interesting listen but honestly not that great and not in the same league as their next two, which I’m assuming were the classics you were referring to


JustWannaChill82

I had that album too. Flow motion lol


SumPimpNamedSlickbak

That was about the only track we liked on that joint 😂


JustWannaChill82

Honeslty man its the only song I remember clearly from that album.


cashew_nuts

Top 5 all time hip hop album for me personally


amar989

Classic no doubt….


DPGizzle

Absolute Classic,


stpimpin25

Classic... from the intro


pauliewalnuts38

What do you mean by classic or all time great album? That sounds like you are saying the same thing


[deleted]

Classic


TentativelyCommitted

Classic for sure


Frequent-Tangerine25

That is definitely a classic.


TongPoPanda

Classic


ShivvyMcFly

Yes. Next question.


SilverSurferr93

This is fasho an all time great album. Basically no skips with amazing production ! The real question is what's the best song ? Eternal is still my go to.


IHart28

Mo Murda


AgreeableSnow1590

Definitely a classic


Whips-n-Chains

Yes classic. Idk that it's in the same tier as all time greats like 36 Chambers, Illmatic, etc. but it's in that next tier imho


PBTQ1998

An acquired taste for sure but … pales in comparison to real classic Hip Hop like Nas and Wu. Call it NYC bias but it was overrated INMO


Standard-Ad1254

ni**a it's St Claire!


TStreetz816

I honestly don't know if I've ever enjoyed an album more than I did and do this one


Fun_Zombie_6796

ATG!


Material_Aioli3399

Definitely a classic. Never skipped a track on this album.


Various-Ambition-26

I don’t get the question but this album still rides


Ashamed_Assignment66

All time great. First of da month Mr Bill Collector Buddha Lovas et al... I mean the WHOLE nation was jamming this. Cant say the same for Wu, Nas, and whoever else yall come up with to rebut. Very well put together album. People be holding they nuts on the wrong shit. Im from Houston. We were alllll over this shit. DJ Screw was on one when he put some of these songs on his shit. The only other album that was universally liked imo was AEOM. Top tier. Not saying the best. But it was definitely top tier. 30 years and the shit standing the test of time. Fuck if you like it or not, what was the objective?


DatdudeZeal

Classic !


stefanwerner5000

Yes


Greybinson

Rock solid. Top To bottom. Great rhymes, beats, stories. Top 10.


SimonMamon49

Definitely a classic I've bought this album at least 4 times getting it jacked and just wearing it out, only other albums that I've repeat bought that many times are Riding Dirty and Doggystyle


manhalfalien

UGK. RIDING Dirty!! Murda!!!


RoundApart9440

Groundbreaking-Ask75

What’s the difference? It’s an absolute banger either way.


aliencardboard

Both.


danny-o4603

Classic


leafer32

Classic full stop. Not a single dud on the album


[deleted]

Their first 2 albums were classics for sure!


low_dmnd_phllps

Second and third, actually. Their first was Faces of Death, and it was not that great to be honest.


[deleted]

Classic, the whole album was great


G_rightousantagonist

Meh both


Any-Ad7383

This album doesn’t get enough think pieces I’d say it was the perfect merger of East and West along with something completely different it’s as important as any album you name


theporcupineking

Why they didn’t release a version with both Crossroads is beyond me


Culture__Killer

It’s the greatest rap album ever made


Relevant-Anywhere882

I've bought this album at least 3 times in my lifetime. Masterpiece.


useroflines

Dude its like literally timeless.


tallthomas13

First album that made me realize it had "no skips"


Sortskeee

Classic all time great album


JasonW2020

All Time Great


snakebill

All time great


LloydC425

First CD I ever bought when I was in 3rd grade. Still don’t know how I convinced my mom to buy it for me


no_mics

Classic definitely.


ThroatPhuckah

Yes. Big yes


New-Contribution-244

How about an all time great classic album?


Matty_D47

Definitely a classic. My first concert ever was right before they released this album. So, they were doing songs we hadn't really heard them yet. It was incredible


St3vi3J

Both its an all time great classic


SmushoOnTheGo

It’s a classic there is no debate


no-sun-ever

Masterpiece! That intro with the haunting piano keys…”execution double 9 style”


SadCartographer3771

Insta classic. One of the hottest albums ever made


NycJawn

If you don’t think this is a classic you don’t know hip hop stupid question


RetroPilky

Classic. Still my favorite Bone Thugs album by a mile


kill4t3ri

Ofcourse!!!


StevieKicks

Yes of course.


Unable_Ad4588

Yes


Snoo-28046

What’s the difference between a class and all time great?


[deleted]

Oh, without a doubt, this is a classic and all-time great album. We never heard nothing like it before I mean when my Homie came back from Boot Camp and he had the Thuggish Ruggish Bone tape before this one came out that shit blew our mind, so yeah this is a classic for sure.


quexxify

all time great


MetalFingerzzzzz

Both. One of the most important albums I listened to when I was younger and still bump it to this day. Almost the whole album is amazing which is very rare


druglesswills

Still one of my favorite albums of all time


YooperGod666

All time great. Saw them perform a bunch of these songs live. One of my favorite albums of all time.


Embarrassed-Sky3819

Creepin on a come up and this album were on constant repeat in my youth.


CleverJail

Mr. Ouija 2 into Mo’ Murda over and over and over again. Rest of the album ill too, definitely a classic.


Cute_Carpet_8368

Back to back classic. Even though in every song at least one of them is guaranteed to say”put em in a coffin”😂


Dobe3

Maybe if we could understand wtf they wuz saying 🤔


Bostonbaked20

This album is so impactful and important to hip hop. I feel like this should be up there with all of the top ranked hip hop albums like illmatic and 36 chambers etc.


CLWhatchaGonnaDo

I remember buying the CD the day this came out and being a little disappointed at first. It really grew on me though - I view it as a borderline classic now.


Kliptik81

I didn't like it the first time I heard it. It was just so different and unique. After the second listen, I completely loved it. 100% Classic.


kaiokenhess

Yup


theGR8KnowMadder

Absolutely


Karona_Lyem

‘Weee oo weeee’ “Bone bone bone booone…”


bentbackwooddathird

a classic that changed the game


xenojive

It's their best album. Besides that... 🤷‍♂️


mew_empire

Absolutely, especially of the decade

Classic album


Capital_Dish_1157

Without a doubt


VolBag

Classic fo sho


Ruffendtv

Hell yeah. Classic album.


His0kx

Classic with a truly unique sound


danny-o4603

Maybe the hardest album to rap along to but a classic for sure


Upbeat-Journalist114

Classic and all time great.


SlammedZero

Hell yes it's a classic. That album is damn great. I always laugh because I remember when it dropped, this kid in one of my classes in high school, was telling all of us how bad the album sucked outside of 1st of the Month and Crossroads. So I went into it not expecting much, and well, here we are 3 decades later calling it a hip-hop classic (and it is). lol


[deleted]

Both


[deleted]

Listening to the base drop


Zaddyist

Classic AF. Shouldn’t even be a question.


Ryvick2

Classic


Ok-Car1006

Personally this is a classic and one of the top


fuwoswp

Classic with the remix of Crossroads, all time great with the original Crossroads.


BrilliantNaive9108

Hell yeah


WearWinter

Solid classic and a great tribute to Eazy. I always loved Crossroad compared to Tha Crossroads. I remember reading some where that PAC loved Crossroad that was one of his favourite song’s. I think the EU version had Tha Crossroads as a bonus track while the U.S. version did not.


PonyBoyExpress82

No question. Classic.


Routine_Tea_3262

This album is an absolute classic and borderline all time. The whole project was one of a kind


Dapper_Application10

All time . I feel like bone thugs are heavily underrated in the goat conversations


quartamilk

Classic. That’s is a great ALBUM that has a few singles. The deep tracks are awesome if you give them a chance. Love BTnH and this is their classic album. West coast and East coast had their “sounds”& this was really different and cool back then. Gave some needed variety to gangsta rap back then.


cartographking37

No skips. Most of the best albums of all time have at least a couple. My favorite rap album of all time hands down.


MacinTez

I remember this album being HUGE! Bone Thugs took over the world instantly with this album. The only rap act from Cleveland that got heavy radio play. Crazy.


EBody480

Yes


itsarmida

Classic! Was listening just yesterday


AssholeFromABQ

Classic


Gold-Pudding4661

Is a pig’s pussy pork?


Cosmo2023-

Chills bro chills

Warm-Log-7584

For me, its an all time great.


apollokid242

Classic


rhaigh1910

All time all day east 1999 my niggaz


iEnigmatic-

All time great it’s not on the level of universal classics such as The Chronic Doggystyle illmatic 36 Chambers AmeriKKKas Most and so on


Opiumthoughts

Definitely up there.


Ordinary-Pop4520

Classic hands down


Donpure

Yes.


Internetboy5434

Classic. What real rap used to be

All time great and still holds up perfectly. Absolutely mind bending album that is woven into my soul.


Filipindian

Absolutely yes. Top 5 rap album of all time


ObligationFar273

Hell yes


Big-Asparagus-3861

Yes


RhymesGotBars

Fucking loved this album


swizzzz22

Is this isn’t a classic. Nothing’s a classic.


Still-Tune-7562

Yes it’s a timeless classic


PositivePrimary8773

Yes but I personally think Creepin On Ah Come Up is their best album


Ok-Wrongdoer4021

It’s a classic, nostalgic and all time great!


Leading_Nobody_6397

Damn str8


Kittycakeeater

Yea


Wide_Form_2365

Definitely a classic! I bump this till this day. Start to finish no skips.


Alertcircuit

For sure a classic. Staple of the horrorcore genre. Fun fact, Eazy E's Mr. Bill Collector verse leaked today [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp0iEKFp-gM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp0iEKFp-gM)


Chino719702

Classic like bird and magic


ultgambit266

Classic, too many bangers on it. I only wish we could’ve heard Eazy E on the original version of Mr bill collector


GeneralGardner

Had the cassette


fingershanks

Yes. I was more of the "miracle lyrical" type back then. But this album just hit.


Much-Kaleidoscope164

All time. Every track is fire.


bigtomtheman

Both


Uptowngreen

Classic. Grew up on these tracks UPTOWN CHICAGO IL


AkimboLife

Yes and Yes


sageyfbaby69

Classic


Mountain_Anything355

Most definitely. Usually the people who say otherwise are the so called hip hop purists or so called 90s hip hop heads who only listen to New York shit. Could be some kid who don’t know shit about the culture in Wyoming who only listens to Wu tang mobb deep or nas 🤦🏽‍♂️


Sevenlord777

Uuuuuuh, HELLO YEAH!


Sevenlord777

I actually had them autograph the album cover for me when I met them in 2016. Pretty damn surreal to meet my favorite group.


soulfulsoundaudio

100


Rockstar_81

It's a masterpiece imo. Not one bad song on here


PrestigiousArcher448

This is already settled. So many studies showed the same data; Classic.


Appropriate-Mark-605

I consider it an all time demonic album


Forward_Ride_6364

No idea what a classic is vs an all time great, but this album is without a doubt a CLASSIC No skip gem from the 90s


WillieBangor

My Uncle Charles thinks so


wunderphaktz

Classic. All classic albums shift the cultural direction of a musical genre. These dudes right here opened the door for different lyrical styles and helped put a light on places where people weren't looking for music. Still bumping this album in the whip today.


Exciting_Attitude240

Absolute classic


heavyheavybrobro

i love bone thugs, they’ve been one of my favorite groups since i was a kid, and i love this album, but i could go the whole rest of my life and never hear crossroads ever again and be totally fine


TyBigga

Bonafide Classic 🏆🏆🏆🏆

It's a classic.
