Thug World Order is the fifth studio album by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, released on October 29, 2002. This was the group's final album under Ruthless Records and have now created their own label Bone Thugs Records. Bone Thugs Records started off promoting their first two artist set for solo albums, LaReece (of ThugLine Records) and Bruce Hathcock. Tomica and the group met in Miami to record the album, as well as get on better terms. The group recorded five tracks while they were there.

The first single released from the album was "Get Up & Get It", featuring 3LW. The second single released from the album was "Home" featuring Phil Collins, which charted in the UK.

Due to Flesh-n-Bone being sent to prison on weapons charges he does not make an appearance on the album (not counting the skit of him and DJ U-Neek).

Not long after the album's release Bizzy Bone was kicked out of the group leaving only Layzie Bone, Wish Bone & Krayzie Bone.

Appearances

Cut material

After September 11, 2001, Ruthless Records decided to drop many songs from the album for fear that consumers would be offended by violent imagery and anti-law enforcement lyrics late until 2004.

All of these songs have since been leaked on the Internet, and have later on appeared on T.H.U.G.S., an independent album from Bone Thugs-n-Harmony.
