A member of Thug Life, Macadoshis, recently revealed in an interview that Tupac wanted Biggie to join Thug Life. He told The Art Of Dialogue that he remembers meeting and smoking with Biggie, sharing that he "[remembers] him being like, real down to Earth." He also claimed that if the timing were different, he thinks Biggie could have definitely become part of the group.
We got an opportunity to meet Big,” Macadoshis revealed. “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,” he shared.

The artist continued, explaining what was going on with the group at the time that they met Biggie. "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 shared. He added, “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.”
Macadoshis explained, “It’s just the timing was kind of off. I think if ‘Pac and Big would have got together before he got with Puffy then it definitely would have been a go. But at the time he was already with Bad Boy so I think that kind of like, put the stall on bro being apart of the group. But it was official though. It was definitely a thing. It was just bad timing.”
