This is an interresting quote from Mopreme, Tupac's brother about the significance of Thug Life.....

"Thug Life was supposed to be in the community. We were supposed to be
teaching school, helping drug addicted kids. It was supposed to be more of
a social thing
because the game was way out of control."
- Mopreme, The Source Magazine (April 2001)
