Advantages: 2pac at his REAL best Disadvantages: not as hip hoppy as some would like

This album is a real album and unlike rap albums now a days is not filled with 500 songs that all sound the same except for the odd class song. It has a whole vibe to it. With just 10 tracks but all classics. It paints a real picture of how 2pac was living around the time and you really feel how he cant let his defence down or he will end up dead like so many of his freinds. Pour Out A Little Liquor and How Long Will They Mourn are classic blends of great deliver and superb beats. They are backed up with Shit Dont Stop and Str8 Ballin with there smooth grooves and luscious beats. If you buy one rap album all you life buy this one!
Advantages: Tupac along with other great rappers Disadvantages: None
Thug Life is the REAL 2pac. He is much more pure before he broke through and earned millions of dollars. With other rappers, in actually HIS group Thug Life, this album is the young Pac. Songs like 'Bury Me a G' and especially 'Stay True' are pearls. Much better then songs on 'Better Dayz'. Don't get me wrong ('Dont get it twisted'), the songs on Better Dayz are also good, but the songs on Thug Life are just better. His song 'How long will they mourn ... ...as All Eyez on Me, because here he had no money, and this was his only income. Thug Life is a great album. Better as Better Dayz, and as good as All Eyez on Me. This is an album every self-respecting rap fan should own. 5 of 5! ...

Advantages: Good blend of music Disadvantages: Only has 10 tracks to offer
The idea behind 'Thug Life' was to get youths off the streets and into the recording studio. 2Pac formed a group consisting of about 5 artists. It mixed both styles from the east coast (were 2Pac was originally from) and the west. I picked up this cd to hear what this new 'Thug Life' group from 2Pac had to offer and was not disappointed.
I think this album has a lot to offer with some great rhyming, dark beats and group emceeing. It contains artists ...

What an awesome line up from 2Pac. This album is a classic. And he was obviously proud of it because he named it after his honouree chest tattoo “Thug Life”.
It is everything you would expect from a 2Pac album, hard hitting raps which make you ... ...Certainly the best Tupac album I have heard but I have yet to hear the new one so I maybe coming back to you with a different view when I get it in three weeks time. I got the album in Holland for the Dutch equivalent of about seven quid so I wouldn’t think it would be very dear if you wanted to buy it. If you could buy it I defiantly would say do so because even if you don’t enjoy it, it is still a good rap album that any rap pioneer ...

"ThugLife: Volume 1" is the 1994 release by the group of the same name, they formed in this year as 2Pac brought together several West Coast rappers Big Syke, Macadoshis, Mopreme and The Rated R for his record label 'Out Da Gutta Records'. On this release 'Pac performs on each track and gets a selection of the group, another to rap with him.
1. "Bury Me A G"
You receive some heavy beats from the production group Thug Music, and they really get things going as 'Pac gets straight inot the tunes without any sort of introduction to this record. He just gets to what he plans for the track and talks on how he has time to do things which have him fulfil the position of a "thug" in his community. All of ThugLife make an appearance during this one.
**Three Stars**
2. "Don't Get It Twisted"
This is the only tune not to feaure ...
