Overview [edit]
Due to heavy criticism of gangsta rap at the time, the original version of the album was scrapped and re-recorded with many of the original songs beingness cutting. The album only contains ten tracks because Interscope Records felt many of the other recorded songs were likewise controversial to release. It has been said that 2Pac created two other versions of this album, with many of the songs still remaining unreleased.[3] Several of these unreleased recordings include a 4 poesy solo version of Bury Me A G with two new 2Pac verses, a radio version of Bury Me A One thousand with another new unreleased verse by 2Pac and two alternate recordings of Str8 Balllin', which include never before released adlibs past the rapper.
Although the original version of the anthology never came to fruition as the album went through a number of changes, Tupac performed the planned first single from the album, "Out on Bond" at the 1994 Source Awards.[four] Although the album was originally released on Interscope Records, Amaru Entertainment, the label owned by Tupac'south female parent, Afeni Shakur, gained the rights to it. Thug Life: Volume 1 was certified Gilded. The rails "How Long Will They Mourn Me?" appeared later in 1998 from 2Pac's Greatest Hits album.[v]
It sold 500,000 copies in the United States in 1994.[6]
In celebration of its 20-5th ceremony, it was released on vinyl on November 22, 2019. In 2019, Universal Music Group posted the video version to the song "How Long Volition They Mourn Me?" to their YouTube channel. This version features an alternate poetry by 2Pac with different lyrics that was not issued on the anthology.[7]

| AllMusic |   [8] |
| Entertainment Weekly | A−[nine] |
| Q | [10] |
| Select | four/5[11] |
The album has been met with critical acclamation retrospectively every bit a classic cloak-and-dagger rap anthology. Full of machismo and do or dice stances," wrote Jake Barnes in Q, "the lyrics' hardcore posturing is perversely undercut by sweet and delicate backings from artists like Curtis Mayfield, George Clinton and The Isley Brothers."[x]
"A shockingly considered, thoughtful rap record," opined Select's Matt Hall. "And a very chilling 1."[eleven]
