Death Row vs. Ruthless Beef (Releases)

[doubletrouble™]

i dont agree with the deathrow won deal. both lables lost in the long run
but in that war, i was riding ruthless all the way

But they did win.........   

[villain]

who, deathrow, hell nah man
they couldnt be more dead then they are now
atleast ruthless had bone thugs to release out every other year or so, but now they dont got shit either just like deathrow
there just both catalogue based lables now that can make money off tha past and prey for some miracle to make some new money for the future off a new star

I thought they were talking about who won the beef that ended a decade ago 

[nibs]

But they did win.........   

it's only death row fans that claim death row won.  anyone that listens to all the songs death row did and ruthless did can't seriously claim death row won.  it was unreasonably one-sided in favor of ruthless.

Does it matter who won?

[nibs]

Any other songs released? Cuz i'm makin a mixtape called "Death Row vs. Ruthless"

i just remembered a great one:

kurupt, rage & daz - puffin' on blunts & drinkin' tanqueray (kurupt calls out kokane and mocks atl and vsop.  also mocks ice cube and the lench mob which is ignored.  dr. dre mocks eazy, tim dog and luke)

[nibs]

Does it matter who won?

it matters for much the same reason historians study ancient battles, and ancient debates whether it's philosophical debates, or political debates...etc.

i would argue that it matters even more now as you have a lot of people that are relatively new to west coast hip hop, that know dpg and pac, but don't really know the beefs between nwa, eazy, cube and dre.

[King Tech Quadafi]

Ruthless killed Death Row on wax

eazy was a prophet on what would u do

ha ha ha.  cute.

it doesn't make sense to go back and forth over this.  the two key points that i'll reiterate:
a) death row/dpg never responded directly to the counterattacks by kokane/cold 187um; b.g. knocc out & dresta...etc.  they basically took pot shots and ran, never responded to the war that they (kurupt and daz specifically) escalated.

b) eazy's disses, especially on "wut would you do?" became prophetic, and have only strengthened under the test of time.

anyway, a compilation that represents this should also include:
"victims of reality" where dresta and nate dogg squash the beef on wax
"ten steps & draw" where b.g. knocc out & rbx get down with q'sta tha don

and luke's "cowards in compton" was a pretty entertaining song as well.  mainly because of "verb" [iirc] stepping in and handling the lyrical attack on behalf of luke.

[doubletrouble™]

Luke is wack

[nibs]

luke is wack.  but he had a hired gun do most of the rhyming on cowards in compton, it also had a west coast beat

[nibs]

i retract my statements about luke's "cowards in compton". i downloaded the track and found it to be much wacker than i had remembered.

in the booklet for kokanes cd
he disses kurupt, spells his name wrong thou.

"(thanks to) everybody on the west except that bitch-ass nigga Korrupt"

Was there some standout beef between those you think?? U often hear this "Kokane vs. Kurupt" when u talk about this beef...I know Koka come after Kurupt hard om "Dont Bite The Phunk" but did Kurupt ever diss Kokane that directly??
