"She's Kobe, and I'm Shaq," Kurupt said of himself and his
fiancée, Blaque's Natina Reed, on the heels of the Lakers'
championship series win last month.
The lovebirds can currently be caught trading verses,
Crip-walking and courting each other in the video for Kurupt's
"It's Over." The L.A. by way of Philly rapper may be on to
something — their duet helped him debut at #10 on the latest
Billboard 200 albums chart with Space Boogie: Smoke Oddessey.
It was just a year ago that the longtime buddies fell in love.
As to who made the first move, we'll probably never know — each
one jokingly claims to have been "attacked" by the other, and
Kurupt proposed soon after.
The musical mates were supposed to tie the knot in August,
marking a year since they've been together, but the Cali rhyme
slinger said their careers have gotten in the way of their
nuptials.
"I think we're gonna go ahead, do that big step and get married
— probably in late 2002, beginning of 2003," Kurupt said. "Right
now, we're just gonna work. We got a lot of work we got to do."
Kurupt said he's already planning his next project, Music Speaks
Louder Than Words.
"It's going to be executive-produced by Fredwreck and Daz
Dillinger," he said. "We already started on that. With Space
Boogie, I'm taking everybody into my mind. I've never done that
— I always kept [the fans] right in front of my face. But I'm
[getting ready] to take them deep back into my mind. The best
way to explain [Music Speaks] is listen to Dogg Food."
Kurupt, who also goes by the alias Young Gotti, is referring to
the controversial album he dropped with Daz in 1995 as Tha Dogg
Pound.
"[I told Daz], 'We gonna sit back and listen to that muthaf---er
for three months; listen to it all the time. We gonna
reconstruct the whole Dogg Food feel,'" he said. "I told Daz,
'We need to go back to that level musically and verbally.' You
hear how our voices sound? We was more laid-back, we was more
into partying."

FUCKING DOPE. finally some artist is givin us what we want,of course i'd prefer him trying to reconstruct his levels on the chronic and doggystyle (his best performances plus "locc'd out hood" from gang related sndtrk plezbalevit) but hey dogg food is classic too and he's not talking that "i'm gonna always be changing my style to keep up with the times' bullshit he realizes "hey this shit is classic,let's recreate that sound" instead of tryna be politically correct.props to kurupt i just hope warren g and dre are involved in this one for at least one track. peace-Tanjint
