Today we return with another major review. This time we take a look at the feverisly hyped upcoming release from the Dogg Pound Gangsta, Kurupt. Our forum members have been heavily discussing Gotti's anticipated Streetlights, so it's only right that we premiered this thorough review before its April 20th release date.

Streetlights receives the Dub Quotable: "Essentially the successor to 2001's psychedelic Space Boogie: Smoke Oddessey, Streetlights is the unapologetic MCs spirited attempt at greatness," and earns an impressive Dub Rating for its creator. Take a look:

Great work Conan, id agree with the review and score, been bumping it all week and its varied in good and bad ways like you said - its been getting spins tho which is what counts!

I suppose in one way that review served its purpose but i am even more intrigued now having read the review.

But I am still a little bewildered.... Obviously i am going to get it, its a kurupt album but... what are the lyrics like?

is it worth it??

Can't wait till Tuesday, but I need a LEAK!!!

On some tracks, he SPAZZES. Wait 'til you hear his revised verse to "Bounce, Rock, Skate." I loved the "Intro" too - just straight spitting, minus a hook or any other distractions. On others, I found him to be in more "superpowered iguana skate the Golden State" mould. Then again, some people love that "frenzied"-style Kurupt - I see "In Gotti We Trust" is getting a solid reception here.

As the rating should suggest, I am confident that new-era and veteran fans alike will enjoy the album. I certainly did, and found it to feature some of his best work in years.

lol wtf

I know what Kurupt can bring, but does Mr. Martin put together a solid album and is there good chemistry between them?

[Conan]

Beats keep it cohesive - as you know, the majority of Streetlights is produced by Terrace. Like I said, he's one of Kurupt's biggest champions, so you know he's not gonna give him leftovers. Each track really does seem catered to the lyrics and theme.

I know what you mean... have to be honest that short post answered more questions for me that the review! haha better than nothing tho

[Conan]

Thanks for everyone who has commented so far. Please keep the feedback coming!

[Mo-D]

Thanks for the review. It was excellent.

Makes me want this album even more. Have ordered from Amazon already.

HURRY UP!

cool review - I like your writing style, however I would say it is too elegant for the audience in this case.

I've listened to the album too and wouldn't of rated it as high..

I'd give it a 3 out of 5.

I'm Burnt and Yessir were both solid songs and album highlights. I was a bit disappointed some of the tracks on the 420 mixtape were a lot better than Streetlight tracks.

Factors that took away from the album:

1.) Whisper Flow (I really wish he would give that flow up.. I guess we're lucky he's stayed away from that flow on DPG tracks)

2.) Terrance Martin (A bit overhyped producer.. should of been more variety in production and only true stand out production was Burnt)
