Kuruption would’ve been too had he listened to Dre and made it one album instead of 2. The West Coast disc was basically a classic

The West Coast disc was basically a classicYeah the West Coast disc was pretty good actually, but the East Coast disc is mostly bravado, all bark and no bite. Sure it had its moments, but needed a lot of tightening up.
Space Boogie was dope but to be real Kurupt himself was the weakest link on that album. The production and features were overall great but Kurupt's lyrics were god awful (for his standards). His verses were just cuss words with random big words mixed in and it was nonsensical for the most part.
well then if that is the case we might as well just say Kurupt was never the same after Death Row. Because that is basically the same criticism of his Kuruption album.

He's ridin the beat or whatever so I really didn't notice him coming weak at all. Except obviously the lead single was just calculated for radio but we can forgive him for that.

I loved the album as soon as I listened to it.The day it came out I was about to do a 15 mile round trip to go get it. I had rang a load of record shops to see if they were going to stock it and they said no. Luckily a small independent shop I knew was getting a few copies in. It was £14 and I had £15. That wouldn't have covered the bus fare there as well as the album so I walked. Scenic Scottish countryside walk along a cycle path on a mild day so off I went.Called into the shop. Got the record. Got a cold drink for the walk home and had a spliff rolled and my portable CD player and headphones at the ready. Walked a quarter of the way back and took a detour to try cut the journey up a bit and a bus passed me and stopped. It was my friend who was a bus driver. Home in no time for free. Dropped me at my door completely off route after asking the passengers if it was Ok.Always has that story behind it for me. I miss the days of heading to go get a new release on the day it was out. Back then you did what it took. Too easy now to download it to your phone and listen to it. It always added to an album. Going getting it, bringing it home and looking through the liner notes. Who produced it, whose credited as a writer, what samples are in the tracks etc.I have the album on now. Based on seeing this thread a couple of days ago. I loved I at the time and still do. Great production, very varied as were the features. I remember 'It's over' being a big hit. Shame that his wife who featured on the track died a few years ago.Talking of liner notes, i went straight to them. I had to see if there were any disastrous spelling errors like the way Xzibit was credited as Zizbit or something similar on 'The Streets Is A Mutha'!Long post but fuck it. Takes me back to when music was more appreciated.
