I liked some of his stuff from this period but it was definitely hit and miss.

Against tha Grain when it was finally released had little input from Kurupt. Didn't it even have a track from when he was already back w Daz?

Space Boogie was a poor album also - very hit and miss.

I think Kurupt lost his consistency from Space Boogie but regained it on Streetlights.

Streetlights is perhaps more consistent but is pretty ignorant and generic in content. Quiks verse on Bounce, Rock, Skate is classic to me though.

Streetlights also wasn't consistent....
Like all of kurupt albums its hit or miss from song to song (Only album you could make an exception for would be Tha Streetz....)
But the intro was fuckin dope  8)

Streetlights = ATG


They've both got their strengths and weaknesses

"Kuruption" was probably the greatest mix of dope tracks and forgettable ones on one album :-\

also ATG retail > ATG

To this day, I still have no idea why Kurupt and Dre never did an album together. I think this is what Kurupt needed. He needed some structure. Kurupt needed someone to tell him "say it like this", "write it like this", "change your delivery like this" etc etc. A Kurupt album, produced by Dre would have been classic.

Was the DPG Recordz version actually sold in the stores or did it just leak online?

Because dre the cunt only puts out rappers that will make him lots of money, or sellout rappers controlled by him and jimmy's bald head.
