The best track from Kurupt's album Space Boogie: Smoke Oddessey.

It's a shame some people haven't heard "Space Boogie". It had a few weak cuts, but still it contains some of my favorite Kurupt songs.

I think it's aged pretty well. At the time, it had a lot of great, well-produced music but it got a lot of flack because there were some more commercial attempts on there but when I think about it, there's probably a dozen tracks on that album that consistently have stayed in rotation for me since I bought it. On a side note... GODDAMN! I cannot believe this album has been out for over ten years. I really feel fucking old right now.

same here, i remember picking up at the record store lol around the same time i bought the 2nd eastsidaz album. the 00's flew by so fast it's crazy.

some terrible songs but some of the best Kurupt songs ever => can't go wrong, hardest muthafuckaz, on on site, bring back that g shit, gangsta. i was talking in some other thread about how "money on my mind" was one of these Daz/Kurupt gem where they complement each other so well, well i think Gangsta (and On Da Grind too but it belongs more to RAW than to tha streetz imo) is one of these tracks too.

Yeah, I think I got new Eastsidaz around the same time as well. I remember this was like at the height of my love for DPG. I had my own mix of my favorite Daz-Kurupt tracks from Raw, Streetz Iz A Mutha, 2002, Dillinger & Young Gotti, and this. Crazy nostalgia right now. I had the DPG post-era mix, a best of Dogg Pound Death Row mix, and a DJ Quik one and I remember playing them at every party I'd go to, trying to expose new people to the music. It was that whole naive, young theory where you think if you play your favorite music around enough people, it will become their favorite music too.

99-01 were really the golden age for DPG imo. like when they broke free from the death row politics and were able to release a lot of material, whether Daz, Kurupt, or Snoop with DoggHouse.
