^^^ for real?  I haven't heard it, I ain't expectin much though, cuz some of the tracks I've heard sound horrible, audio quality included on the "horrible", it's funny how in "Jealousy" he's talking about Daz too, and they still put it on  :laugh:

i  kept 2 tracks from it and deleted the rest. kurupt just wanted to put an album out to get off deathrow most likely. he was talkin about having Jazzy Pha, and all these artist and producers on the album but he came up empty handed. the album is absolute shit.

^^ yikes!  :-\  I kinda figured man, that shit is mad bootleg-ish, it sounds like he pulled that shit outta his ass
     for real, he probably is depressed that he let 4 years go down the fuckin drain

this is the version that was converted from 128kbs to VBR...
this is still poor quality

i dont think this release is dope. it has a few nice cuts but its is still a dissapointment imo.and its strange that not even the official website has promotion for the album.  no tracklist, no ad, not even the cover. only the single as a stream.

Not to disrespect Kurupt, but he fell off hard, like a lot of rappers who started in the early 90's. He's past his time.

I gave it a 4/5 dope album, not a classic but shit we havent had a west coast classic in years, way better than space boogie but not as good as streetz....i cant stop bumpin slide n slide out and speak on it.

this album does not have the support of kurupt. from a very reliable source.

I've only listened to the first half of this album, and I think its pretty good for what it is.  I'm just glad the fuckin thing dropped personally, and I had absolutely no expectations for it, so it kinda surprised me by having decent production.  ITs not as good as Space Boogie or Streetz though :-\

i heard only 3 songs off "against the grain" and they were kinda nice. i'm surprised everybody's saying it's complete trash. maybe i heard the good ones...i'll check it out when it drops.

Well then why did he bother advertising it when he was on the radio the other day with Daz?

i have no clue. but i was talking to some of the people that im working with, like snoop and jellys manager and all them were in the studio with kurupt, and kurupt stated that he aint behind the project.. so who knows..
