Thug Life Details Meeting 2Pac, Gang Affiliation, Pac's Thug Life Tattoo

[Deltron]

Mopreme Shakur, Macadoshis, and Big Syke, the remaining members of Thug Life, spoke about how 2Pac heavily advocated for Interscope to sign them after he formed the group. Syke explained that it took a lot of persuading from 2Pac to convince the label, and he added that they then faced an uphill battle with censorship on Thug Life: Volume 1. Speaking more about their debut project, Syke revealed that the original planned album wasn't what was released to the public, and he added that popular songs like "How Long Will They Mourn Me" originally were featured on the project.

During the interview the three artists were also asked about their gang ties, and Big Syke explained that he doesn't promote his 'hood, because he believes that it's nothing to play with. He then added that he went to jail when he was a teenager for living the street life, but Syke said that he doesn't want to promote that lifestyle in the media.

Check out more of what Thug Life had to say in the above interview, including when 2Pac got his "Thug Life" tattoo.

At work right now but does syke talk about how pac basically kept shouting out Kato all over all eyes on me despite the fact that he never met him before in his life? I swore that syke said it somewhere in some interview that Kato was his homie, not pac's. Pac just shouting his name out to make himself seem like an authentic street thug in his music. Just as lame as pac being an honorary blood member at 24. Repping a hood he wasnt from. He got caught up for false flagging too while being with thug life.

 

[Deltron]

No, they don't discuss that. Just how TL formed, how they met, etc.

Okay. I stand corrected. The way syke said it though was like pac and the guy weren't close like that and pac was speaking on the guy like he was his best friend.

Vlad on his Officer shyt again with Big Syke at 08:45 but Syke wasn't falling for it. Someone needs to sock Vlad in the face for his constant line of questioning.

Vlad: So you guys were affiliated with which gang?

Syke: I was affiliated with some REAL gangs

Vlad: Crips?

Syke: Now see, it dont even matter what I was
