Etymology
According to Tupac, the name originally started as an acronym: "The Hate U Give Little Infants Fucks Everybody". It represented the idea that the racism and marginalization experienced by black youth ends up negatively affecting society.[1]
History
Big Syke was a Crips gang member and Macadoshis was a drug dealer during the 1990s. Tupac, Randy "Stretch" Walker and Princess Mel formed Thug Life in 1992 with Tyruss "Little Psycho" Himes.[2] They recorded a song also titled "Thug Life". Soon Little Psycho joined the group, under the name Syke. Later Macadoshis and The Rated R joined the group. They signed with Interscope Records and recorded an LP titled Thug Life Volume 1. Tupac's stepbrother, Mopreme Shakur, later joined the group.
Thug Life: Volume 1
On September 26, 1994, Thug Life: Volume 1 was released.
The first single and video was "Pour Out a Little Liquor" (which originally appeared on the Above the Rim soundtrack, released six months earlier), which was a Tupac solo song.
Tupac performed "Out on Bail" at the 1994 Source Awards.[3] The album was originally released on Shakur's label Out Da Gutta. Tupac's mother's label, Amaru Entertainment, has since gained the rights to the album.
The track "How Long Will They Mourn Me?" appeared on Tupac's 1998 Greatest Hits album.
Thug Life: Volume 1 had sold 478,419 copies in the United States as of 2011.[4]
Stretch's death
On November 30, 1995, Stretch died after being shot four times in the back by three men who pulled up alongside his minivan in Queens Village.[5] He was killed exactly one year after 2Pac's 1994 Quad Studio shooting.[6]

[ru] Thug Life
«Thug Life» (с англ. — «Бандитская жизнь», что является акронимом: «The hate u give little infants fuck everybody» и переводится как: «Ненависть, которую ты даешь маленьким детям трахает всех».) — группа, созданная Тупаком Шакуром, в которую он пригласил своих друзей — Big Syke, Macadoshis, Rated R, Mopreme Shakur, последний являлся Тупаку кузеном. Группа выпустила всего лишь один альбом — «Thug Life» в 1994 году, после чего группа распалась на некоторое время, из-за тюремного срока нависшего над основателем. Вскоре, после того как Тупак вышел на волю, была идея воссоединения, Тупак даже звал Macadoshis, Rated R на Death Row Records, но они отказались. Каждый из участников пытался выпустить по успешному сольному альбому, но удачнее всех оказался Big Syke, который при участии группы Outlawz создал сборник под названием «Thug Law», то есть смесь Thug Life и Outlawz.
