Tupac planned to create Thug Life Vol.2?

[Norwegian]

Is it true he planned to create a Thug Life Vol. 2, which would have been released on Makaveli Records? Or is it bullshit? The source is wikipedia.

The only rumour iv'e heard about Thug Life vol.2 are from a few years ago, when Big Syke stated it would have been interesting with a vol.2.

Since he created a Vol. 1, it's only logical to assume he had plans for a Vol. 2....

Nah, not necessarily. The group Thug Life was a lost chapter.

^the first idea for the album that turned to thug life vol. 1 began as a compilation that it wasnt gonna be a Group named Thug Life. it was cut down that way because of interscope..i think thats basi caly what happened

beyond that there would of definitely been another cd in my opinion not sure if it had been planned but i heard somethin like that before. my car alarm is goin off brb

Your sayin that the "group" Thuglife wasn't actually a group but just a album of people who happened to be on tha same songs?

That's supposedly the story. Think back to the interviews in the Thug Angel DVD where Pac talks about Thug Life. It obviously started out as his philosophy, then he wanted to make an album called "Thug Life" featuring himself, the members of what became the group Thug Life, Richie Rich, Mack 10, the Governor, Snoop, Spice-1, etc. However, due to the way Interscope wanted to market it, a lot of the featured artists were cut out and they made the compilation into more of an album and made a pseudo-group called Thug Life. (I think it was Dante who mentioned this before.)

I doubt Pac was planning a TL pt. 2.. He had the Outlawz to worry about.

 

[Preach]

if i'm not mistaken, part of the concept when the group thug life was born was to have each volume of the cd feature new group members. meaning the group thug life would never be the same people on two different thug life volumes.

Wow, if that ever got released i'd pay top dollar.

The project was half finished..that's what I thought?...oh well lol...

The album was supposed to be called Thug Life: Out On Bail. I am quite sure that Out On Bail was hastily rejected by morons at interscope and they changed the title to the generic Volume 1. Also, the album was released at the height of the anti-gangsta rap era. It was delayed months prior to it's release. A shame, considering how much success Runnin From The Police would have had with all kinds of fans. The album that we have is a tiny taste of what 2pacs vision was. No marketing and association with 2pac took place. Think about it, at the height of 2pacs legal media issues, a 2Pac album would have been huge. I believe interscope purposely demoted it, and did the bare minimum in releasing and marketing it. Even with how long will they mourn me, it could have been marketed. Shows how hard it was for pac to release hsi work.

"Dumb kids"? I'm older than you, buddy. And it was just an honest mistake, don't act like you're some sort of hip-hop guru.

Anyway, what ever happened to the tracks that were supposed to be on Vol. 2? I remember hearing about that project too. Probably around 1999 or 2000.
