2Pac Reportedly Wanted The Notorious B.I.G To Join His Thug Life Crew But Diddy Allegedly Blocked The Collaboration

Over the years, numerous legendary stories have circulated about 2Pac, and a recent addition to these tales involves his interest in having Biggie join Thug Life.

During a recent interview on The Art Of Dialogue, Macadoshis, a member of Tupac’s Thug Life crew, revealed details about the desire of these two iconic artists to collaborate and join forces.

“We got an opportunity to meet Big,” Macadoshis said. “We went tour and we was doing the Thug Life tour. We started out at Jack the Rapper and ‘Pac actually bought Big up to the room. We was staying at the Marriott Marquis and Biggie came up to the room and he was hella cool, bro. I remember him being like, real down to Earth. He kicked it with everybody, smoked a blunt with him and we was just chilling with him.”

Macadoshis added that met up happened around the time Thug Life were working on their 1994 Thug Life: Volume 1 album. However, he believes Diddy was the reason why Biggie didn’t join the crew since he was an upcoming artist at the time.

“We was moving forward with the Thug Life album at the same time Big was with Puff. So, it was not a conflict of interest, but I don’t feel like Puff was tryna let Biggie really come over there and do no Thug Life shit at the time while he was working with him,” Macadoshis explained. “He wanted to be the first to break him and bring him out. He only had ‘Party and Bullshit’ out during that time. So I think that’s what really kinda held it up.”

Nevertheless, 2Pac and Biggie ended up going their separate ways which resulted in a fierce rivalry that led to the death of both rappers.
