Kurupt's Music Since Streetlights?

[TraceOneInfinite]

Just downloaded Kurupt's new Moonrock mixtape and was fairly pleased with it. It's good to hear some new music from Gotii, though I stopped checking for his releases after Streetlights.

Since Kurupt doesn't have his online game together, can anyone here provide a list of all (or some) of the music Kurupt has released since Streetlights? I see tons of random videos from him and Zodiak on Youtube, but it's unclear where these songs were released.

I hope Kurupt stays making headlines in 2015. This year could witness a Young Gotti renaissance and ya do know that.  

Yeah bro... Kurupt has kind of been emerging back into my conscience lately as well.  Him flipping out about the Kendrick thing has gotten him some attention, and who knows, maybe 2015 will be a comeback year for Kurupt...

...I haven't really understood him, his music, or the moves he's made since Space Boogie.  But from the Chronic to Space Boogie, Kurupt had always been more than just a favorite rapper of mine but also someone I looked up to.

One of the main problems of kurupts music (not just since "Streetlights", more since his days on death row) are the lyrics and the bar he set so high for himself in his prime. Back then he was spitting pure heat in his lyrics and was able to go toe to toe and in most cases even completely murder other lyrical rappers. But nowdays his retarted style "Fuck A Bitch, Suck my Dick, You fuckin bitch, Cause bitches aint shit" or something like that (thats not an actual quote from him, but its shit like this he raps nowdays) is just boring, repetitive and flat out whack. He has gone from an insane lyrical level he set for himself to complete shit. There are still glimpses of his former self scattered through his discography, take the "Intro" on streetlights for example, was surprised at how dope this was, or "2 Turntables and A Microphone" (still pisses me off how he is cut off before he continues with his last bars about newports cancer infected, that was dope would love to hear him continue there), but overall Kurupt seems pretty much finished from a lyrical standpoint. Even his flow is sometimes lacking now, something that wouldve never happened to the old kurupt. The only thing that could help him to make a comeback, would be to quit whatever hard drugs he is taking nowdays and really sit down for a year or two, and work on the lyrics until they are actually lyrical again. Then he should get producers like quik, terrace martin, fredwreck and bc on it, add a few features from the dpg camp here and there and also some other west coast vets.  This way he could actually manage a comeback, but thats pure wishfull thinking and is likely never gonna happen...

I noticed a thing that Kurupt has a concept in his projects/albums - each of them is produced by 1 (or 2) producer entirely.
Same Day Different Shit - Daz (& I.V.). Blaqkout - DJ Quik. Tekneek Files, Penagon Mixtape - Tekneek. Digital Smoke - J. Wells. Streetlights - TM. BC & FrWr earlier... Maybe this is the reason why he doesn't go back to them, he doesn't want to do the same, to repeat himself. Hopin for the Big Duke produced album to drop!

There's also was announced Primo&SoulBrother produced album "G Boy Status". And we have only "Yessir", which was included in Streetlights. I think Primo is good for Nas, so that's why I want to hear Kurupt & Pete Rock collabo album. They have their chemistry together.

He should go back to Fredwreck and do another album with him

Nice post. 

Personally I would like to see Kurupt reinvent himself on some type of Snoop Lion type of shit.  I would like to hear from Kurupt the father, family man, Kurupt the West-Coast legend, Kurupt the elderstatesmen of hip-hop, looking back on the fall of Death Row and so on...  He could do more reflective tracks like "The Life" joint he had on Kuruption which is my favorite Kurupt solo joint of all time. 

But let's face it, Kurupt has always lacked range.  He has always been dependent on other great artists surrounding him to add different flavors and seasoning to his music.  If you lack range it is going to be hard for you to have a lot of longevity as an artist.

Streetlights? Streetlights?! Gotti has been garbage after Space Boogie. Sure he can surprise us with a decent / good track here-and-there but my favorite rapper has been finished since 2003 (and thats being modest).

As a solo artist maybe..

There's some decent Dogg Pound music since then

[Hack Wilson - real]

kurupt hasnt been that great in the 2000s period

kurupt hasnt been that great in the 2000s period

After the split with Foxy and all the drugs. I think working with Dre in 98/99 saved him from oblivion

I forgot he also announced Equinox album with new producers (?) & After Hours EP in 2013. There are several albums due to drop after the Streetlights, but we have only few mixtapes with few good tracks within these 4 years.

[WestSideDon]

Most of the announced projects that were never released wouldn't have been that great anyway. Kurupt hasn't been constantly dope since his prime during the death row days and it only got worse with time so theres a good chance most of those albums wouldve been very very mediocre at best...

the only track I have on repeat on his Moonrock mixtape is "Mystic River" but that was an old joint...I think around 2007 or so
