"Thug Luv" is a song by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony featuring 2Pac. It is featured on Bone Thugs-n-Harmony's 1997 album The Art of War. The original version of the song only had Bizzy Bone, Sylk.E-Fyne and 2Pac. The song was produced by DJ U-Neek. 2Pac arrived at the recording studio late and wrote his verses in 111 seconds as confirmed by Bizzy Bone in a YouTube video, then had to leave. The other members of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony completed their verses after he had left. The song is considered a classic by many fans as it was a long anticipated collaboration between 2Pac and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. It is said that "Thug Luv" was supposed to end the feud between Ruthless Records and Death Row Records. This song can be heard as the opening song for the video of "If I Could Teach The World." It also plays at the end of the video.
