Mopreme: Eazy E Was Going To Sign Thug Life To Ruthless Records (Bomb1st)

[Dre-Day]

Interscope was a far better choice for the album. Granted, Ruthless would have probably put out a slightly different version, but it gave the other Thug Life members better exposure. Ruthless would have concentrated more on 2Pac, probably have his face on the album cover and everything

lol pure speculation... what elements lead you to that conclusion ?

it's not really important though since it never happened that way. eazy was interested in signing in a lot of acts from fairly different musical horizons. it tells you how open minded he was. he had a lot of artists on his label and wanted to sign others like Foesum.

hes a huge death row fan

The budget differences

it's not a big budget album.

Still bigger than the 2Pac and Outlawz album though, but probably because it had 2Pac's name on that one rather than just Outlawz that it outsold Thug Life a lot easier. For not a big budget album, it certainly had a lot of single and videos - 4 to be correct for the length of album that it became near the end. That's good for a new group... Look at St lunatics, or any other group from an artist and look at their albums promotion. Excluding D12 though of course, as they were given comic appeal (Bizzare) and were more pop than your traditional standard rap group, but the majority of others tend not to do so well.

I couldn't see Ruthless doing any better unless they shoved 2Pacs name on it like a "2Pac Presents:" or "2pac appearing in" on the title, and had his face and image over the cover, and putting out mostly 2Pac solo songs as singles. Maybe not, but it's just my opinion dude

i doubt it.  eazy took some unknowns and next thing you know they sell 4 & 5 million records. i think eazy would been fair.
