Kurupt - "9 Times Out Of 10" Studio Footage (Video) - By : LilJay - February 8, 2010
Here's some footage from a studio session with Kurupt, Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Bad Lucc and Lady G. This was actually recorded a while ago at the video shoot for DJ Quik & Kurupt's "9 Times Out Of 10", but only surfaced last week.
Seeing this footage reminds me of this crazy Dubcnn freestyle that Kurupt busted for our camera backstage at last year's West Coast Festival in Amsterdam – just moments before the recorder smashed on the grounds of good ole Amsterdam. Which means you're never gonna see it, unless you witnessed it live. Oh well.
