Notorious Thugs

"Notorious Thugs"
Song

"Notorious Thugs" is a song off The Notorious B.I.G.'s second album, Life After Death.

The song was never released as a single, likely due to the song's dark nature, but garnered much radio airplay nonetheless and remains a favorite of fans of both The Notorious B.I.G. and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony members Bizzy Bone, Krayzie Bone, and Layzie Bone contributed to the song.

In 2005, Notorious Thugs was mixed into "Spit Your Game", a song from Biggie's final album, Duets: The Final Chapter. This newer version features Twista and Krayzie Bone. The music video for "Spit Your Game" also features Eightball & MJG.

This song is also noteworthy because for this song, The Notorious B.I.G. changed his normally smooth, easy flow to a high speed melodic flow similar to that of the Bone Thugs. Also, the song contains a diss by Bone Thugs N Harmony against Three 6 Mafia, with whom they were involved in a feud (or a "beef") at the time.

The song was included in The Notorious B.I.G.'s Greatest Hits and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony's Greatest Hits .
