Tupac personally mediated in a Watts/South LA turf war between the Rollin 60s and the Eight Treys and from this evolved the THUG life platform, with all kinds of rules and regulation much like the Southsiderz have within their own system of gangs, but a kind of code of conduct which is entirely missing from black gang culture. Rules like no drive-bys on kids, respecting families and households, not robbing each other, no snitching, sharing the $$$ with the community, etc.
Hispanic gang culture is all about following the rules, and this is a kind of flavor Tupac was personally trying to bring to black street gangs in Los Angeles, specifically with his own street connections through Deathrow (which was more a drug dealing laundering scheme than a record label)
