He was a rebel, an anti-establishment force who seemed to fear no man on the planet and it came across in his songs – after all, you’ve got to be a real gangster if you’re willing to tattoo ‘Thug Life’ across your belly.

Everyone loves an underdog story; something that will make them believe anything is possible which is why so many people gravitate towards him. Let’s be honest, he wasn’t supposed to make it in the world of rap.

He wasn’t shouting his lyrics any more just for the effect because he could express a situation even better than he could before with his rhymes.
