- www.vladtv.com - Mopreme Shakur spoke to VladTV about the meaning of 2Pac's "Thug Life," an acronym for "The Hate U Gave Little Infants F***s Everybody," and he revealed that the legendary rapper created it for all underdogs. He added that "Thug Life represents the poor and disenfranchised of all nationalities who are pressed by economics and power structure."
During the conversation Mopreme also gave his definition of a thug, which he said is an oppressed person trying to overcome adversities and survive. Shakur added that a lot of people can relate with the Thug Life message, because the have nots far out weigh those who have.
Press play on the above clip to hear more of what Mopreme had to say.
unfortunately we let THUG LIFE turn into a fucking meme,
but the original meaning and acronym is so powerful
Do black people really need to be Attached to Thug Life . We already have a thousand other negative terms to describe us . Went Tupac was alive I didn’t feel any positive vibe from that phrase. Just a bunch of out of control fools running around. Tupac was a walking contradiction
Facts
tupac was 1 intelligent brother he was fearless and smart and threat to society so they took him out rip pac killuminati
Well why he made killuminati to kill illuminati
True shit rt
no wonder your username is fassyhole fassy you fruitcake you're clearly a troll
lol stop chatting shit like pac never backed him self he wasn't a pussy he was fearless but not stupid either and he didn't get fked he got killed be more respectful when your talking about a hip hop legend who influenced many and helped his community they always show the negative of pac but there was many positives which we can address.
+treyadam Pac told in an interview he didnt belive in illuminati he made killuminati to kill "illuminati" as he belive it was made belive stuffs

This definition got everybody confused on Pac. Most people think he talking about robbing, killing, or some gang shit when he say Thug Life in which he not.
Pac wanted to get the masses to stop fighting each other and fight the system.
R.I.P. Pac, khadafi, fatal, and also Mc breed and one of his producers Johnny J!
We need to now add Big Syke to the list. RIP to him as well
Tupac was a revolutionary.
RadicalSyndicate Tupac was a gangster rapper.....stop reaching....a revolutionary is Chuck D, KRS, Immortal Tech, Mos Def, Dead Prez, X Clan, even early Ice Cube...........Pac was a child of revolutionaries but he was a gangster rapper...none of his music taught history or gave instructions of how to make real change.....most of his music was complaining, crying, and making idle threats at enemies every now and again he would make an attempt at a positive song. Pac was a paranoid mama's boy who was looking for acceptance. Do yourself a favor and try listening to some real hip-hop of the 90's and not this overhyped commercial rapper. And Im a Pac fan....but he was simply 1 out of 10000 great rappers of that era.....but because he died young the media and labels blew his career wayyyyyy out of proportion.
Jerome Beck Bro, you are reaching.
+Jerome Beck dude you're so ignorant. I'm not gonna respond to the whole comment, but a gangster rapper? Pac's music was not gangster rap, it was reality. It was about what he saw, experienced, etc. What separated him from others is that he talked about the repercussions of doing certain acts.Most rappers did not. I suggest you listen to: Words of wisdom, Who do you believe in, etc, etc, etc,. There's so many tracks by Pac that should change your perspective; there's several rare interviews too.
+lwj24 the shit was gangster rap....you can sugar coat it all u want....but im 36...I grew up in that era, I have a much better understanding of what is what from that era. No documentary taught me about rap....experienced it first hand
+lwj24 have you even listened to "most rappers" in that era....Im talking from 88-96...u couldn't have...because if you did you would realize there were literally tons of rappers way more revolutionary, uplifting, positive, and teaching Pan African messages than Pac.....but im sure you dont know
And a lot of people don't know this he from new York he just had so much love for the west coast he was born in Harlem
hes from oakland
its not where u born its where u at
Actually he's from Baltimore
@@guttababy6187 born in ny raised in Baltimore more Baltimore in but facts are facts.
@@guttababy6187 nah he from East Harlem and grew up there as well... he moved to Baltimore a little later and wasn’t there as much as Harlem...
RIP hussein fatal
For a fraction of a sec i thought mopreme had a green and yellow mohawk.
Thuuuug life... baby!
That was dope!
I was just about to say "Trapped" was his very first single and video. From the gate Vlad!
I’m here after watching “the hate u give” amazing flim.. very powerful, spoke many volumes

I hope Vlad drops the entire interview soon, these Mopreme clips are great. R.I.P. Fatal. I remember back in the day listening to his solo shit Ghetto Starz as a kid on my Mini Disc!! Matter of fact, ima go listen to that shit after I drop this comment. Shiiiiiiiiiit I haven't heard the shit since then. Fatal was always one of the nicest of the Outlawz on the Mic. A lot of people who were down with Pac have died young. Fatal, Yaki Khadafi, Stretch, Big Kado, Heron, Buntry, Neckbone, MC Breed, Flipside, Left Eye, Frank Alexander, Johnny J and a few other motherfuckers that done passed away, most violently.
Love Mopreme's chill
People talk shit about pac saying he aint real..but when you involved with gun play..you definitely aint no one to fuck with. Name one rapper beside Pac who shot they gun and went to court and won the case..plus it was police who he had the incident with. Talk that fake shit if you want...aint nobody in the game can claim that.
OG MOPREME#1
RIP FATAL RIP KATO RIP 2PAC
What he says at the end odes to what Kendrick said: dying of thirst
Dude is dropping wisdom
Tupac was more than music he was a Prophet
Now you taking this bs too far,I loved pac music,and personally,he ain't no prophet,he was just a man
So what Tupac meant is..
THUG (by itself) : True Hustler Under God
THUG LIFE (together) : The Hate U Gave/Give Little Infants Fvcked/Fvcks Everybody
Tupac is a true mc greatest of all time this man had the game on lock only been in the rap game for 5 years had all those albums and songs after he died he put in a lot of work and diss them fake ass artists that claimed that they was real he already knew the fake artist that was coming up Jay Z for a example 2pac will be missed and for all of yall haters 2pac is in most of these rappers albums in 2015 they all knew that he was the realest
Somebody ask him or tell me where he was in the Death row days and if Reggie wrights claim is true that Pacs crew beat him up in the Death row offices ?
Vlad - when old folks used the word thug, they were referring to people that commit crimes. Not simply people that they have disdain for (as you said in the video)
MOPREME would be sick of you could upload 'thug to the right' saw it in Netflix's Unsolved Tupac biggie..... or put it on spotify ... it's a good song
Why is Vlad talking to him like he knows wich song of Mopreme own album was better or worse?? WTF
show some respect smh
love theses interviews about pac. downside is that hes dead and never grew to his full potiental which is a shame. it amazes me how quick he worked and it wasnt wack anyone else do that be like wtf is this lil wayne lol
Even today, when a brother or a sister makes it real big away from music or sports, they get hate from both sides. "He/She acting white" some do, for real, but not all forget there roots.
Eazy e "hip hop thugsta" sorry vlad tupac wasnt first to use thug
GARY PYBURN neither one was very "smart".. had mad knowledge but not "smart".. if they were they'd both be alive today.
Sorry I don't think so he never shot 2 cops never diss a whole coast Eazy E was getting bullied by Suge Knight i got love for easy e but 2pac had the west coast on his back and he's not even from there he's from New York
GARY PYBURN Yeah his first rap name was mc new York put it in TH-cam u will see come up and your right but like I said i got nothing but love for eazy e and i wish he sign him he was about to that would of been crazy
He Never Said he was he just used the word smarter and found a meaning that matters.
I'm here after watching the hate you give. SHOUT OUT TO ANGIE THOMAS FOR THIS MOVIE FOR THIS BOOK AND SHAPING THIS MOVIE. TUPAC WAS WAYY BEFORE HIS TIME, BUT IM THANKFUL FOR THIS TIME AND THIS MOVIE.
I never j new thug life stood for that
t.h.u.g.l.i.f.e I guess this vid. is for those who don't know..Vlad, thug is still not a positive term for most people, especially when they are talking about young blacks.
True Heroes Under GOD
no
Keep packs memory alive. 41Zone shit
41ZONETV Pac's too lol
Jay K. Sorry, Pac's... Dumb ass smart phone
41ZONETV lol hate that shit.
Name me one song that focused on the black woman's plight in America before Brenda's gotta baby
Dj RealReport then he was accused of rape, that was bs!
ever since pac made r.i.p Kato references on a few songs I've noticed a bunch of rappers have come out with r.i.p Kato references even dmx did a song like that and I'm guessing they're all just biting the struggle, probably never had a homie named Kato.
thug life
Rip Fatal
Thuggee Life
Tupac started the book of rap. Eminem finished it. Lil Wayne couldn't read it. Iggy Azalea lost the book.
Thug meant something before TwoPack was born.
Ns sherlock
2:16
When he said “our people” strictly for my niggas did he mean his homies and family in his community ? Or did he mean black people ?
black people
"Brenda's Got A Baby" was not different or groundbreaking AT ALL! It was just a story rap with a twist....KRS-One, Slick Rick, Kool G Rap, Ice Cube, Geto Boys had all been doing that shit before Pac was even thought about....smmfh.....stop overrating Tupac its out of hand at this point
Aww shit my man get ready for Pac souljaz to come for u how dare u speak musical truth when discussing Pac LOL
Face, Cube, Kool G Rap, etc. all told great stories of the streets from their point of view. But, I think what he was trying to say was that this was one of the first from a different female perspective
Ken Davis the name Nikki D ring a bell and we can go back to the original NY NY Melle Mel drop a verse bout the young that thru her baby in the trash
*****
Lol...what is the real tupac, since you know him that well? You can't pretend. You either real or fake. And i don't know what constitutes to you as authentic. But taking care or your people as a society and your family and friends is about as real as you can be in life. This man has done alot of humanitarian deeds with his finances. Any man that will shoot to protect an innocent from dirty cops gets my vote. This man puts his life on the line for his people not just rap culture. That is beyond tough and gangsta.
2121luv1 Name 5 humanitarian things Tupac did with his finances....no...in fact name 3
HIS INTERVIEW SHOULDT GET ANY DIS LIKE
Can someone tell me why Tupac as a multi milion dollar celebrity was stomping people out in Las Vegas casinos and acting like he still lived in the hood? It feels like he tried over compensate something and like his persona took over who he really was.
Seriously...how old are you bro
He wanted 2 prove his love for the bloods
Because him & everyone around at the time believed that Puffy were hiring people to snatch Death Row chains & since Orlando already attempted to snatch Tray's chain before that, they thought he was gonna try something again so they stomped him out. If you're with your homies & you know someone already jumped one of them & was trying to do it again while you're there you'd do the same thing, especially if they were hired to do it by your enemy (Puffy).
He had a complex about being a pretty faced brother
he was a girly like sissy boy when he was young and he went to ballet/drama/art school, then when he moved to california and got jobs dancing and acting he took on the image of a tough guy gangsta'. Around white people in school he was a nerdy / sissy black kid, but around hood and gangsta' blacks he had the tough image.
I mean by his definition of a thug was the Mayor of Baltimore wrong for calling those people thugs?
tupac use to be in balitomore on some real shit
The word Thug has always meant a person who was up to no good.
Still does
A thug is a violent person. It's not a racist word at all. Now what has happened is people try to put their own definition to it. Like for example the word gangster means thug but when it got spelled gangsta people try to justify the meaning of the word. Tupac is my favorite rapper but he also tried to justify the meaning and put his own definition to it by turning THUGLIFE into an acronym which stood for "The Hate U Give Little Infants Fucks Everyone". It was a contradiction because Thug Life really means living a rough tough hectic pathetic chaotic life. But people will always try to use the word how they feel suited nowadays. Some people use the word to substitute saying Nigga. Some people use the word as a reference to black criminals, some people use the word as a person who live in poverty struggling, sold or sell drugs, do criminal activities and things, or have struggled, you do what's right but don't allow people to walk all over you, you're not a pushover, you stand up for what's morally right, ya willing to throw down or die for what you stand for or believe in. In other words the word thug gets mistaken for a vigilante type of person.
Tupac was never a thug until he started rapping, he's not even from California lol he was born in New York
The Lonely Stoner but grew up in bmore
It's not a secret that pac wasn't born in Cali
and he was never a thug
name one who became a leader
***** name one who became a leader waiting
Tupac hoax
