Recently noticed something said "Supa-Thug" on a wall the other day. So I asked some of the crew from the Boo Slick Show what the definition of a "Super Thug" really is. Maybe you will want to talk to Darius James. As a young man in the 1970's, he applied to be in the Black Panther Party, but was denied on account that they had frozen the registration (watch the interview). He winds a story from "Thug Life" as a tattoo to Tupac's mother Afeni's connection with the Panthers, and then connects it into New Haven in a way that very few storytellers really could. He also explains the root of it is from the name of a tribe in India.
