Thug Life
In the U.S., the word thug has a history of being used by racist white people who specifically apply it to African American men to portray them as violent criminals. When used in this way, it is often thought to function as a substitute for a racist slur.

For this reason, some African Americans have reclaimed the word as a positive identifier. It is especially used in hip-hop, particularly in the phrase "thug life". One of the most famous rappers to use this term was Tupac Shakur (or 2Pac). The term was popular during the 1990s and the era called 'Gangsta Rap'.  You can read more about Tupac here:

Thug
Thug is a term for a violent, lawless person, especially a man.

The word was originally used in the 1800s as a name for members of a group of men in India said to be professional criminals and murderers.

Since then, thug has come to have a more general meaning similar to its more old-fashioned synonym ruffian. The act of behaving as a thug is known as thuggery. In this sense, thug often refers to someone who acts as a bully or is a professional and violent criminal, as in:
"The mafia sent hired thugs to intimidate store owners."
