Thug Life: Volume 1 was the first release by the group Thug Life, started by rapper 2Pac, and was released on September 26, 1994. The album was originally released by Shakur's label Out Da Gutta Records. Many tracks were cut from the original release by Interscope, due to all the criticism on Gangsta rap. The group featured Big Syke, Macadoshis, Mopreme, The Rated R and 2Pac. Among the notable tracks on the album are "Bury Me a G", "Pour Out a Little Liquor", "How Long Will They Mourn Me?" and "Str8 Ballin". In 1996 Big Syke and Shakur planned to create a Thug Life: Vol. 2 which would have been released on Makaveli Records[1]. Although the album was originally released on Shakur's label Out Da Gutta, Amaru Entertainment, the label owned by the mother of Tupac Shakur, has since gained the rights to it.
