Kurupt was lazy in this era but came correct on this track. Not his greatest, but definitely up to par. Inspectah Deck sets this shit off proper and Pete Rock kind of lags in the middle, but he's more of a producer so it's alright. Then Kurupt takes the baton across the finish line. This was pretty popular video on BET around the time his Kuruption album was about set to drop.
soul survivor is a similar album like 2001 in many way (1 producer, many, i mean maaaaaaaaaaaaaany featurings, more like a compilations than a real album), and i liked it better.i know this is an nwa, dr dre groupie site, sorry.
classic...it was during Kurupts "raw dog" era where alot of the time he just spit freestyles on record, and they would either hit or missthis track always makes me wonder why an artist of Kurupt's caliber didn't get Pete Rock or Premier for the East Coast Disc of "Kuruption!"...guess it wasn't in Antras budgetbtw this is the only track I can think of Kurupt on a Primo beat
nearly bought this album because of the Kurupt feature.
I know someone will jump on here and be like “Infinite, you don’t know shit about hiphop, you call yourself a hiphop head and you are just now discovering Pete Rocks album, blah blah blah” in those days there were no MP3’s, I was only 16 and had money to buy one album a month—or less.
if u aint know the 2nd album of the lost boyz or the 3rd single of the diplomats that aint a problem. BUT time to time you discover rap's and hiphop's milestones man.There are planty of albums which need to be found or discovered by myself too. But those are mostly undergound or not too known cats. not the legends.
nah, not this pete rock album, but his albums with cl smooth are that kind of records. i mentioned lost boyz couse i aint know em. or diplomats. but i gonna buy lb's albums once IMO. None of those 2 groups was groundbreakin or somethin as i know. There are a lot of artist from the 80s, 90s under my radar, so i diggin a lot too.BUT i listened todays raps too.
Co-sign. Damn homie we must have been living parallel lives in 1998 cause it’s like we have the same take on everything that came out around that time.
If you are into the 90s west coast rap and feel wu-tang, lost boyz I would advice to stay away from Diplomats. They might have a good song or two, but I believe you will find most of their music to be crap. If you do listen to it, drop your thoughts
