I've always thought his post '97 material has been really weak (besides his verses on Daz's RR&GB, but they were old).That's why I'm really happy WideAwake gave us some tracks that reminded us of how great he was, i.e. I Rocc Mics, Slippin' In The West, These Reasons, Midnight Hour (the verse is great, shame it's due to some shitty mixing that the vocal volume is really low),etc. (can't remember the rest).These tracks show his true potential, and I don't really care if he was great due to his Rakim influence, due to sounding like some east coast MCs and what not.FACT is he was a vicious MC, and at one point he stopped being one.He even dropped the laid back flow, and the changes in his voice (although inevitable) are off-putting to me.

Little know fact: Legendary East Coast-rapper Buckshot of Boot Camp Clik, was a big inspiration to Kurupt during the mid-90's

yup Kurupt gave him a shout out on DPG 4 Life (which we have in tolerable quality).He used the same lyrics for These Reasons on the boxset, but I can't remember right now if they kept the intro

it was the same song. Producer Overdose just recycled the acapella from the o.g. produced by Daz. The intro wasn't on it tho

the song was always named "These Reasons". the bootlegger who leakd it just named it "DPG 4 Life", cuz he never knew the o.g.-title

Kurupt - Space album was his last decent record ..

But Tha Streetz iz A Mutha and Dogg Food will remain his best

The new Kurupt sounds repitative
