Only good song on Thug Life Vol 1 was Under pressure (Pac was rapping is ass off on that one), and maybe Don't Get It Twisted.

The rest were garbage.

this thread pops up like every month and the answer is no unless you're a Pac stan or a Nas hater.

i never in my life heard someone said "I'm a huge Nas fun but Thug Life is the better album" but i'm sure there a shyt load of 2pac fans that would put Illmatic over that album.

i dont know about the album being garbage but it sure isn't a better album by any means.

Its a better album with better lyricism and better production.

nothing on Thug Life was better or more influential than N.Y. State of Mind, Life's a bytch, nor One Love.

there weren't any verses on Thug Life that were more amazing than the 2nd verse of NY State of Mind, 2nd verse of Memory Lane, nor the 3rd verse of One Love.

just in gereral, nobody look at Thug Life as this once in a life time album besides Pac stans. Even if u dont like Illmatic you should know that its a much more superior album and important albums in hip hop.

Why isn't Thug Life a "once in a life time album"? Didn't we only get it once in a lifetime?

It's more relatable than Illmatic, straight real chit. It's better to be that than "amazing".
