Music Video LinksArtist BiographyAvailable in:
Thug Life was an American hip-hop group that consisted of 2Pac, Big Syke, Stretch, Mopreme Shakur, The Rated R, and Macadoshis. They released one album, 1994's Thug Life: Volume 1, before disbanding after Tupac died in September 1996.
2Pac & Randy Stretch Walker formed Thug Life. In 1992, Tupac met Tyruss “Little Psycho” Himes. They recorded a song also titled “Thug Life” and 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. Interscope initially declined to release it, but they later changed their mind. Then Tupac’s stepbrother, Mopreme Shakur, joined the group.
On November 30, 1995, Stretch was killed after being shot four times in the back by three men who pulled up alongside his green minivan at 112th Ave. and 209th St. in Queens Village, while he was driving. His minivan smashed into a tree and hit a parked car before flipping over. Stretch was killed exactly one year (almost to the minute) after 2pac's 1994 Quad Studio shooting, and many people believe that Stretch was killed as a form of retaliation.
