Thug (hip hop slang) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1136 words)
Thugs share the same principles commonly associated with gang members: hip-hop-inspired thugs believe they are entitled to whatever they can get and keep through street cunning and physical force, having no moral compunction against theft from and robbery of those not known to them or part of their 'posse' or 'clique'.
Violence is applauded in the thug lifestyle, especially among middle-school and high-school aged thugs, and often in the form of "jumping" a victim, (several thugs attacking a single victim).
Thugs also tend to be huge fans of crunk, dirty south rap and many other types of rapping, the only precondition being that the lyrics be about wealth and living the thug lifestyle.
