Data Insight

Fifteen of the 16 tracks carry the group's name and one carries nothing. Flesh-n-Bone appears on a single track, which is what a prison sentence does to a discography. DJ U-Neek writes six, less than half his usual share, and the record is the first that sounds like it was made without a plan.

Thug World Order came out on Ruthless in October 2002, reached number 12 on the Billboard 200 and number three on the R&B chart. "Home" features Phil Collins.
