* Tupac lived the thug life to the illest!

The Old Testament Code of Thug Life  

Tupac lived the thug life to the illest! He did what all thugs strive to do. He lived and died a thug. His legacy of shaping, promoting, glamorizing and advancing the thug life and rap game will live wit us foeever.

Only Tupac could have pulled off the thug codes. He was a true thug mentor and thug role model. He set the standard fo controllin the hood and straight bangin to the fullest! As written by Tupac and other OGs, these are the codes that thugs shall live by:


Code #1All new Jacks to the game must know: a) He’s going to get rich. b) He’s going to jail. c) He’s going to die.


Code #22. Crew Leaders: You are responsible for legal/financial payment commitments to crew members; your word must be your bond.


Code #3One crew’s rat is every crew’s rat. Rats are now like a disease; sooner or later we all get it; and they should too.


Code #4Crew leader and posse should select a diplomat, and should work ways to settle disputes. In unity, there is strength!


Code #5Car jacking in our Hood is against the Code.

Code #10Snitches is outta here.


Code #11The Boys in Blue don’t run nothing; we do. Control the Hood, and make it safe for squares.

Code #14Civilians are not a target and should be spared.

Code #16Attacking someone’s home where their family is known to reside, must be altered or checked.


Code #17Senseless brutality and rape must stop.


Code #18Our old folks must not be abused.


Code #19Respect our Sisters. Respect our Brothers.
