Part 1: Kurupt Interview


dubcnn.com: What's up Kurupt? How you been man?

Kurupt: I'm chillin'! Can't complain!


dubcnn.com: That's the business! To start it off, just let everybody know what you got goin' right now, where you at, what you doin'!

Kurupt: We got this D.P.G.C. album that's finna drop, you know, me, Daz, Snoop, Nate, RBX, the whole squad, D.P.G.C. album, G-Reunion, gangsta reunion. That's what we've been working on. Plus the Young Gotti solo album that Daz did, he produced for me, that one's finna drop in February. You know what I'm sayin?  We finna drop the Welcome 2 Tha Chuuch Album that Snoop did, with all the homies on there. We got a gang of projects droppin', we got some movies flyin', Snoop is writin' one now for me, Daz and him! It's alotta things going!


dubcnn.com: Okay, ya'll just got together for the "Real Soon" track with Snoop, Nate and Battlecat. Who came up with the idea of the song?

Kurupt: Well you know, Snoop & Nate put it together real fly! You know how they do it!


dubcnn.com: Do you have any words for Tookie?

Kurupt: Well you know man, we're all in his corner man. He proved hisself to be more effective alive than he is not being here, that's the most important thing. People do what they want to, don't white people know they're wrong? Because the man has done so much well, I mean he's helping these young folks, and that's what it's really all about, so...


dubcnn.com: Ya'll just released the Dillinger & Young Gotti Pt. 2: Tha Saga Continuez... and in the booklet, you're not credited for any of the writing. What's up with that?

Kurupt: Credited for what writing?


dubcnn.com: For writing the songs!

Kurupt: Oh well that's a little business situation that was going on at the time, you know, me and Scodie we team up to do our things. I wrote it, but you know, I have a company with my brother called Scodie Mac Publishing, and Scodie Mac Publishing is all the publishing that we do, that's our company!


dubcnn.com: Okay, cause people were wondering whether Roscoe was writing Kurupts shit..?

Kurupt: *laughs* Nah, that was just a lil thing right there a lil scuffle I was going through. You know Publishing is a major thing! What they did was, there was a misprint. It was supposed to say Scodie Mac Publishing, and the writer was supposed to be R. Brown. But you know... We already had it out there, and we doin' this independent man, we just let it be, let it fly! Can't trip off nothin' lil like that, cause you know I get mines regardless!


dubcnn.com: After you and Daz got back together, how was it to go back into the studio?

Kurupt: Oh it was beautiful... You know me and the homie man, it's nothin' like us man! We really brothers and what we do is natural man, it flies! He brings the best out of me, you know what I'm sayin'? And you know Kurupt at his best, it's a done deal! There's so many things coming, it's about to be sick!


dubcnn.com: How is the song writing process when you and Daz are together? Do you have a special formula, or?

Kurupt: Just go for it man! However we feel at the time, we finna fly. Play no games, give them everything that we got, and keep flying!


dubcnn.com: How would you rate Dillinger & Young Gotti Pt. 2 compared to the first one?

Kurupt: Oh this one's a different kind of Dillinger & Young Gotti. This one right now, Tha Saga Continuez, is more of a laid back, relaxed, when you rollin' in your car, posted it, smokin'! You know what I'm sayin? When you early in that morning man, gettin' your day started man, it's that feel good music man! That's what we wanted to give them, we wanted to give them some feel good music.
Some shit we can have for ourselves, when we rollin' down the streets, on how we feel. It's a laid back album, I rate it as a different type of album, compared to the first one. The first one we was on monster mode! This one we was kickin' back, from a grown standpoint, keepin' it G'd up. Makin' some rollin' music, some smoke out music mayne! It ain't too much clubbin' and all that in that record.


dubcnn.com: You had mentioned a Kurupt solo executive produced by Snoop and Baby of Cash Money. What happened to that?

Kurupt: Well you know, I'm still doin' the thing! Snoopy's overseein' it. This album is gonna be through my label and Doggystyle. Snoopy's overseein' that. The Young Gotti album is gonna be overseen by me and Daz, that's comin' out in February. So we still flyin', you know, we finna hit them across the head man, we really got about 6 albums done man! Real fly!


dubcnn.com: Now that the DPG is back together, is the Riflemen project shelved?

Kurupt: Oh never! Everybody's doin' their own lil things right now, gettin' themselves based. Jayo's doin' his own thing, gettin' hisself based, 40 Glocc's doin' his thang...


dubcnn.com: Yeah I was just on tour out here with 40 & Mobb Deep, they're with G-Unit now. And Spider Loc from G-Unit has been takin' shots at both you and Daz recently... What's the situation there?

Kurupt: It ain't no situation, you know? Pretty much everything is cool. Can't really trip mayne, everybody and them sayin' things man, but you can't really trip. I know Spider man, if that's how he feels, well then what can I say about it? *laughs*


dubcnn.com: But you still fuck with 40?

Kurupt: Yeah I still fuck with 40! You know, I still fuck with Spider cuzz! *laughs* Yeah, why not?


dubcnn.com: Good to hear that the Riflemen project is still on though, cause I heard the shit ya'll spit over that Alchemist beat, with Jayo, you, Roscoe and 40 Glocc. Roscoe was goin' crazy on that one!

Kurupt: Yeah, Scodie is so on fire!


dubcnn.com: I heard him and Bad Azz are doin' some shit...

Kurupt: Yeah, Bad Azz and Scodie got a whole album together! I'm trying to tell you man! Everybody's movin' and rollin'! We finna drop they album too!


dubcnn.com: I heard a couple tracks from it, it's sounds crazy!

Kurupt: That's right!


dubcnn.com: So you're sayin' you're still cool with G-Unit, whatever they're sayin', that's whatever they're sayin?

Kurupt: Yeah! I ain't trippin'... What I'ma trip about man? I'm 33 years old, I'm grown man. They got they own opinion, and that's all up to them. I deal with everything face to face man. Spider's cool with me cuzz, I ain't trippin' off him, he ain't trippin' off me. What can I say mayne?


dubcnn.com: You still fuck with Eastwood?

Kurupt: Of course! That's my young killa!


dubcnn.com: What about a D.P.G./BlackWallStreet collaboration with Game?

Kurupt: I got a couple records with Game, I got a album I'm doin' with Tyrese, me and Tyrese doin' an Alter Ego's album, Best Of Both Hoods...


dubcnn.com: Oh yeah I thought he was doin' that with Bishop Lamont, they had a Best Of Both Hoods record!

Kurupt: Yeah yeah, they still got they thang growin' too, we all just puttin' this together man, and makin' it fly! Me, Bishop and Tyrese, we puttin' thangs together makin' it fly, Game is with us.


dubcnn.com: Now the question everybody wants to know ever since you got back with the DPG is, what's up with Kurupt and Suge?

Kurupt: What's up with us?


dubcnn.com: Yeah everybody wanna know! We all know how Daz stands towards Suge, but they wanna know if you and him still talk.

Kurupt: I ain't talked to Suge in a little bit. I seen him in the club the other day. Suge is straight! Me and Suge we chillin' man, we not trippin' off each other! Shit when I left, Suge knew I was leavin', he knew where I went, he told me "Go nigga, go for it! Be safe, and stay right!"


dubcnn.com: So we ain't gone see Kurupt sayin' Fuck Death Row or none of that.

Kurupt: Oh nah man, for what?


dubcnn.com: You know how the rap game is man, everybody's talkin' shit about everybody!

Kurupt: *laughs* Not Gotti man. When I used to do that typa shit, boy I was a terror! But that's old man, this is reality. That shit is old.


dubcnn.com: Alright cool. Now you know, you've always been involved in so many different projects, and there was talks about you doin' a project with Lil Wayne too?

Kurupt: That's right! Paperboyz!


dubcnn.com: You had something with Layzie Bone too?

Kurupt: That's right! Me and Layzie Bone.


dubcnn.com: So... what's up with all that? We ever gonna see those?

Kurupt: Oh definitely, they gonna get put in effect. You know, everything that we was plannin' on doin is still in effect. Everybody's doin' their own things right now. This is what we call our self-time, where we droppin' our own albums, doin' our own things. Then we come back together. And we gonna fly! I seen Canibus the other day at the Billboard Awards! The Horsemen is still in the house too! We gonna do all that shit man?


dubcnn.com: Something alotta people were wondering about... You been sayin' shit like "Gotti Adolf Hitler" "Gotti Bin Laden", or "Holocaust Native". That's a touchy subject... Where does that come from?

Kurupt: I felt like people was treatin' me like I was the worst! You know what I mean? Like Kurupt is just on some bullshit, like I was trippin'! It was a personal thing, I felt like everybody kept acting like I was the worst thing crackin'! When I come around, it was like people would be on some different type of shit, man! So you know, that was my alter ego basically! I'm like "Okay cool, they wanna treat me like that!" When I went to Death Row, somebody called me Bin Laden! Kurupt Bin Laden! I'm like "Damn, that's the way people think about a nigga?" They turned me inot that shit! I was rebellious! *laughs* That was monsters, nigga! That's what I felt like! I felt like I was Hitler, nigga, I was the worst thing on the planet, man! Everybody trying to treat me like I was the worst thing on the planet man! I'm Gotti Adolf Hilter man, fuck this shit! I'ma go crazy! *laughs*

You know, that's what it was. That's what we do man, that's our creativeness man, that's what Gotti is, that's what Kurupt is. When I create man, I make my shit different. I'm not into just the clubbin' shit, and I'm not just into the diamond shinin' shit, I'm into poetry man, poetics is what I call it man. It's the artform of poetics man. Different form of rhyming, I talk about different subject matters, I compare myself to different things man. And that's what rap is! Creativity! That's what it is to me. They not gonna hear that diamond shinin' bling bling shit with me, they gonna hear monster shit man, or some cool shit, they gonna hear what I give'em!


dubcnn.com: You sound happy though, I remember the last time I interviewed you a couple months ago before the reunion, you were...

Kurupt: Yeah nigga remember I was callin' myself Gotti Bin Laden? Adolf Hitler? Nigga I was on fire! But being back with the homies man, it's some different shit man. It's what it's supposed to be man, and it feels the greatest! Being with your family, and being able to do what you love, you know?


dubcnn.com: Do you think we're gonna see the D.P.G. on 106 & Park and shit like that?

Kurupt: We gettin' all that started man, we got movies we doin', we got albums we droppin', we're droppin' them all back to back, we're pushin' from this point on. You know how I am when I'm with the homies, and we pushin' cuzz! Remember, we gave ya'll 10 years of me and homies together, and you know we don't play!


dubcnn.com: I was just watchin' a lil performance from '99 on BET with you and Daz, Nate Dogg, Roscoe & Bad Azz performin' "Ride Wit Us, Girls All Pause" and shit like that. Hopefully ya'll can bring that back!

Kurupt: That's right, that's right! We had a ball then too!


dubcnn.com: Let everybody know about that "Same Day, Different Shit" record. What's up with that?

Kurupt: It's pure rhymes man! It's great records on there man, great records. I feel like it's my best record ever. Daz produced the whole thing with Extra Large, it's sick, it's SICK!


dubcnn.com: So what are you talkin' about on the record?

Kurupt: You know, I'm talkin' about real life shit man! I'm talkin' about real life shit. And I'm givin' them rhymes nigga, all rhymes! No saucy bossy bullshit man, just pure rhymes! Sickness man! Good records, some shitt they can club with, I gave them some club shit on there. Yes sir, yes sir!

dubcnn.com: We gonna see D.P.G. on Detox?

Kurupt: We might! That's Dr. Dre's shot call, we gonna ride with him regardless though!


dubcnn.com: Cause you were one of the main factors on The Chronic, and on 2001, so...

Kurupt: Well that's because Dr. Dre gave me that opportunity. He gonna make it crack regardless, and with his guidance, you can never loose. On everything I love!


dubcnn.com: Which producers will we see Kurupt working with in future? Except for Daz...

Kurupt: We got some shit with Lil Jon, David Banner did some shit for the Dogg Pound album with Snoop, it's a sick one too! Puffy gave us a classic, we got some real shit man! The shit is bangin' too!


dubcnn.com: Do you have any advice for up and comin' artists? What impressed you the most when listening to a new artist?

Kurupt: I look for style man, something different from what I already hear. I look for rhymes man, I look for poetics, like Bishop Lamont and Glasses Malone, and they are sick! New generation comin' like Roscoe! Roscoe is sick! Young Tone, Slo, Tri! They sick, these people man!


dubcnn.com: So Y.A. is still happenin'?

Part 2: Daz Dillinger Interview

dubcnn.com: Wassup with you?

Daz: Sup cuzz...


dubcnn.com: How you doin'?

Daz: Higher than a muthafucka.


dubcnn.com: As always huh?

Daz: Yep.. Up in early in the mornin'!


dubcnn.com: Alright, let's get started on this interview though. To start it off, just let everybody know where you at right now, what's going on?

Daz: Yeah, yeah, ya'll know what the fuck it is! This is D-A to the Z, DUBCNN, all the homies on the forum, what the fuck is up? Holla at your peoples, DUBCNN, I'm in New York right now, me and Kurupt doin' it real big. Promotin' Bigg Snoop Dogg's Welcome 2 Tha Chuuuch - Tha Album, aswell as Dillinger & Young Gotti Pt. 2!


dubcnn.com: Ya'll just did the video for real soon, tell us a little bit about that track, and a few words on Tookie!

Daz: Oh you know, we put the video together goin' the jailhouse, visitin' the homies, and it's dedicated to Tookie. He's showed that people can change, but it's all up to how the government is doin'. Around that time it was like the Black Panthers and shit like that, so they was really crackin' down on that, and the Crips they felt were somethin' like the Black Panthers, you know what I mean? Like how most of us get beat in the hood, the community, the police was whoopin' on muthafuckas back then! So everybody was trying to get their shit together, so he was makin' that movement! While they was takin' everybody to jail, he was part of that movement like that Black Panthers, so they took him to jail too and gave him that sentence!

So it's like, you can change, but it's all up to Arnold Schwarzenegger now. But he had a heart attack or some shit like that, so, on the 13th they gone execute him! How would you feel, knowing that in 5 days, they finna lay down. You know what I mean? So I was just thinkin' like "damn you gotta be blessed, and think about what you doin'." I went through alot of hot head shit, now I'm into myself. None of that shit don't get me mad and shit. A muthafucka calls me, I'm cool. I just keep doin' my thang.


dubcnn.com: You know there was alotta confusion about whether the Welcome 2 Tha Chuuch record was the D.P.G.C. Reunion or not, can you clear that up for everybody?

Daz: Nah that's not the D.P.G.C. reunion. That's just Bigg Snoop Dogg puttin' out artists. It's a two album deal. And it's settin' us to do this album and to come with our major album. And then I come back with Jermaine Dupri, So So Gangsta The Album you know what I mean? It's over! We finna shoot a video for "All I Need" with me, Snoop Dogg [and Kurupt]. You can probably come out to that muthafucka when we do that one!


dubcnn.com: Ya'll doin' a video for the remix with just you and Snoop or with Kurupt too?

Daz: Yeah the tripple OG mix! You know I had to give it to them sick. Cause I'm gonna switch the game up. They wanted to have me do another single or something like that, so I was like I'm gonna put my cousin on that muthafucka. I put it out. Bam! It sparked up some noise and Virgin called me. So I was like you know what? I'ma spice it up again! Cause Kurupt was outta down when I was layin' it down. So he came through to lace it again, now the muthafucka worth more! And that muthafucka subs too! Produced by Jermaine Dupri!


dubcnn.com: So Daz is an official So So Def artist?

Daz: Yep!


dubcnn.com: I know you've always been sayin "it's gonna drop", but when can we really expect So So Gangsta though?

Daz: 2006. 2006. I want all the fans right now, to call up to Virgin Records in New York, email the fuck out of them, and ask them when that album is gonna come out. Then they gone call me, and I'ma make it happen! Cause I got so much shit going on, I have to make sure home is right first. So let me drop Kurupts album, and get my nigga right! So right now, when I sign to the majors, Kurupts gonna take off where I left off!


dubcnn.com: So the Kurupt Same Day, Different Shit, that's independent through DPG Recordz?

Daz: Yeah.


dubcnn.com: With your Sony Red distribution?

Daz: Nah, I'm goin' through Toommy Boy now. They got a distribution, same thang, just like that. And when I get signed to a major, we gone put Kurupt out. Cause all the companies, Kevin Lyles, all they want to see is numbers. You say you sold 250,000, but can you PROVE you sold 250,000?


dubcnn.com: Is the D.P.G.C. Reunion gonna be through Koch too?

Daz: Yeah! This is my first time fuckin' with Koch, I'ma get some money out them muthafuckas! You know what I mean? Cause I ain't signed to them, but I'ma do business with them.


dubcnn.com: So the "All I Need" Remix is the first single off So So Gangsta?

Daz: Yeah.


dubcnn.com: Is that album done, or are you still workin' on it?

Daz: It's damn near done! I'm doin' some more songs with a producer called No ID. I got my songs on there, Jermaine got his songs on there, I'm in the game!


dubcnn.com: You mentioned that you had a diss track towards G-Unit called "Banned", what's up with that?

Daz: I don't know about none of that... Somebody put that on there!


dubcnn.com: That was through your account though?

Daz: I know, somebody put that on there though. Probably my litte cousin or somethin'! G.B., from Porno Style, you know?


dubcnn.com: So there is no diss track towards G-Unit?

Daz: Nah, I didn't record one. They probably did that because they be on the internet and shit like this, and they called me sayin' that Young Buck got a song dissin' me or somethin' like that.


dubcnn.com: But why do they use your name though, cause that was your account on the forums!

Daz: They can't login, I use they computer! Their house is my office. You know when you go to the computer you just put dubcnn in there, and you hit the forum and you already logged in!


dubcnn.com: From what they posted, people were thinkin' that there was a new Daz song called "Banned" comin' Why would they do that though?

Daz: Hey, that's on them. If that's how they feel... They my lil homies, and they only lookin' out for me. If they say that the nigga dissed me.. But I love Young Buck that's my nigga! They said that Young Buck said in a song "Daz behind me", I had some glasses on, he said they wasn't loc's, he said that shit ain't grimey. Or some shit like that. And then I heard that other lil song with Spider...


dubcnn.com: He wasn't dissin' you on it though, he's on the hook.

Daz: But damn, you on the same song! You know what I mean? He's in Nashville, I'm in Memphis! We in the same state! I drive up to Nashville to go fuck with Young Buck all the time! Young Buck gave me ounces of weed! My nigga I ain't never dissed you! I'm tryin' to get outta that shit. I've been feudin' for 10 years! Snoops tryin' to keep me calm, he's like "you doin' good right now cuzz!" So I don't let that shit get to me. It's the same thang as the Lil Eazy situation. Ima leave that shit alone! I'ma do me!


dubcnn.com: I ain't never heard Daz say somethin' like that!

Daz: You know what I mean? Because it's like, times is hard! I just don't wanna kill nobody. I'm so quick to jump really on a muthafucka ass, it's ridiculous! So it's like.. I'ma Gemini, so let me try this other side for a second. But it's no problem to get gritty, and really make it happen! Cause I got them goons, and they stay around me, cause I'm that nigga! And I treat everybody like I would wanna be treated. I'ma leave that shit alone man!


dubcnn.com: So Daz is makin' peace?

Daz: I ain't never had no makin' peace with nobody, I ain't never did shit, they start dissin' me! I don't even know who the fuck Spider Loc is! I ain't never met him, all I know is Suge Knight used to have him! Suge Knight told him to do the shit he was sayin'. He's still a bitch, doin' what a muthafucka told him to do! So I've never met the dude.


dubcnn.com: Have you spoken to 40 Glocc again?

Daz: Nah I ain't spoke to nobody, Snoop said he holla'd at him so that's all I needed to hear.


dubcnn.com: Basically you sayin' the same thang as Kurupt. It's no beef between D.P.G. and G-Unit.

Daz: Nah. But if I hear a song dissin' me, you know... Spider just talkin' cause he wanna be like 50. That's how he thinks he's gonna get in the game. I ain't got time to be thinkin' about Spider Loc, I got other shit to be doin', muthafuckas I'ma really feud with. Street shit! Where muthafuckas is really gettin' they head took off! This is some bullshit over here! I'm already feudin' with some real muthafuckas you know what I mean? So this other shit is some stupid shit man.
