When hip-hop legends get together, you know it’s the beginning of history. It’s real thugs, the type of song you’d expect from its three legends in a room without writing, evolved from a raw West Coast sound complemented with Eminem’s hit lyrics. This song reminds us that hip-hop is still at the peak of its game, with the greatest of all time reigning supreme.
From the moment the beat drops, the attitude and grit are supreme. Snoop flows laid-back, Ice Cube goes nuts in that classic Ice Cube way, Eminem snaps with his machine-gun bars to stomp on your neck—he is still the GOAT who never fell off. And the chemistry between them is borderline bonkers, turning Real Thugs into a cut you could’ve pulled from the golden age of hip-hop with a modern touch.

The music video makes the energy physical. Shot in a rough, film-noir style, it’s loaded with West Coast signage, lowriders, street anthems and an uncompromising, no-frills attitude that suits the intensity of the track. Watching these three legends all be on the same track is one thing, but seeing them completely steal the screen together? Unreal.
And if this collab has you sweating you need to peep the other major link-up: GOATS, which features Snoop, Eminem, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Ice Cube and the late, or late-risen, DMX. It’s another heavyweight anthem reminding the world that real rap never dies and enlisting some of hip-hop’s biggest names.
