Bone Thugz featuring Phil Collins

POO: Imaginary MOR/Rap Collabos

Didn't this track come out years ago?

this track is hell of old

...

It is new to me. I am transfixed.

still awesome though.

Awesome? It doesn't seem like BT is doing much interesting with Collins' sample. They kind of make it the whole song by just lifting the riff without making any changes or updating the sound of the song or adding other elements to it (P. Daddy did something similarly uninteresting with a Sting song a few years ago, which they performed on the MTV Video Awards). But I'm not a huge rap fan, so maybe I'm missing something.

pc is a bullgod

this comment on youtube is OTM: "this song never got the air play it deserved..."

I like this song. Phil looks like Bob Hoskins in The Long Good Friday.

Commented upon in another thread- remember 'cos it's filmed here in Geneva & I can see my place in it.

(& as I prepare to move, getting nostalgic already thinking of how this will sound when I'm on the other side of the world)

This is a perfect day for watching Bone Thugz videos -- midwest, fall, cold, dark gray...

Is that London in the video?

You cannot read can you. GENEVA Switzerland

staring thru my rear view >>>> home

its overlong but wow how did this not get more attention when it came out

how could phil collins + bone thugs be anything but overlong

true true

bone thugs n genesis

I really could have sworn there was another thread about this song. This is damn near the best thing either act's ever done.

Yeah, london doesn't really have epiceries.

good song, actually. I like Bone Thugz

i thought i posted this thread in a dream :-/

No.

There is no way that anything by Bone Thugz could possibly be even close to the greatness of "Supper's Ready".

E1999

Cleveland is the city where we come from so run run run
Cleveland is the city where we come from so run run run
Cleveland is the city where we come from so run run run
Cleveland is the city where we come from so run run run

Geir I'm surprised that you don't know this: Bizzy Bone wrote most of "Supper's Ready" and all of "The Musical Box," this is a matter of historical record - Hackett & Gabriel up on some Rob & Fab shit with all that early stuff

Up on a hill, as the day dissolves
With my pencil turning moments into line
High above in the violet sky
A silent silver plane - it draws a golden chain

One by one, all the stars appear
As the great winds of the planet spiral in
Spinning away, like the night sky at Arles
In the million insect storm, the constellations form

On a hill, under a raven sky
I have no idea exactly what I've drawn
Some kind of change, some kind of spinning away
With every single line moving further out in time

And now as the pale moon rides (in the stars)
Her form in my pale blue lines (in the stars)

And there, as the world rolls round (in the stars)
I draw, but the lines move round (in the stars)

There, as the great wheels blaze (in the stars)
I draw, but my drawing fades (in the stars)

And now, as the old sun dies (in the stars)
I draw, and the four winds sigh (in the stars)

I'm actually surprised Geir isn't a Bone fan.

I missed that it was Geneva because I watched the beginning and end of the video and listened to all the rest, and then for some reason did the same thing two more times.

I still fondly remember the summer of whatever when "Thuggish Ruggish Bone" was on The Box over and over again.

still awesome though.

please mr. postman... quit bringing these bills to my house!

He should go full time as Bald Bone.

i've never heard this song before

it's awesome when you bring up this song with someone who doesn't know about it and they think you're totally making it up but you're like no seriously phil collins and bone thugs did a track together and it's awesome and there's a music video and everything! and they still don't believe it's true and then you prove it to them and you can see in that one little moment that their view of the world just got slightly better.

Watching it tonight, I noticed for the first time the layer added by Phil Collins lip-synching his own voice from 20 years ago. Existential!

still awesome though.
