 It's a shame that so much of the Ruthless catalog is still out of print, even after several years of them saying it would be re-released.  There's a lot of great stuff that the younger fans have probably never heard. Eazy had more than 30 different acts signed to his label at the time of his death.  Between what hasn't been released at all and what has been out of print for years, there's a lot of stuff that people aren't getting to hear.

i guess that was the downside of the several distribution deals.

but you seem to forget the power of the internet :D

How do you think the original compares to the Bone Thug version?

The original is nice and would be one of the best songs of the year if it came out in 2010, but the Bone version shits all over the Yomo version.

 Yeah.  I have physical copies of most of the Ruthless Records releases, but there were some that I even needed to rely on the internet for.  Yomo and Maulkie's album is actually one of them.  Also, for those who hadn't heard, Pistol's album on Ruthless, "Hittin' Like a Bullet" has been re-mastered and re-released by Street Flavor Records.  It was originally released by Ruthless/Relativity and is one of the more obscure Ruthless albums to get re-released.  You can check it out here:

Now they just need to re-release the albums from Above the Law, MC Ren, Blood of Abraham, Kokane, Penthouse Players Clique, Steffon, Tab and Da Villain, Frost, and more than a dozen others. lol

yeah, the fact that even ( some) MC Ren albums are out of stock is weird

I'm gonna go on a limb and say the OG is better to me, I even heard it way before the Bone version (but that was because I was sleeping on Bone's first release).And me saying that I prefer it does not mean it's better, because that is not true
