Everything Wrong with the Kuruption album? How to fix it…

[Soopafly DPGC]

what?



kurupt was fulla west coast gangsta shit

c-walk was a crip anthem and featured tray deee and slip capone

fresh featuring daz was classic dpg shit

can't let that slide wit roscoe, another dpg track

that's gangsta was produced by warren g.. and clearly indicates he wasn't stepping away from the gangsta image lol

i think u need to revisit that album

I'm talking about the marketing of the album and his image.  Look at the cover of Streets and the cover of Kuruption and you tell me which is a better representation of the Kurupt we know. 

lol, just because a song is called 'that's gangsta' doesn't mean it's a gangsta song.  Yes Warren G produced it, should've dropped a verse.  Daz was barely on FRESH and it was a remixed leftover from their Death Row days, i have the OG.  Daz is not really a feature, he barely squeaked that through Suge, but i give kurupt a pass for that because Suge wasn't clearing anyone for his album, i'm sure Kurupt tried.  I'll give you that I forgot Tray Deee was on the album, that's one, you got me on that point.  Roscoe was far from a household name back then, no one knew who he was.  So out of a 2 disc album of what, 20 some songs he had maybe two verses from a DPG affiliate??  That seems intentional to me. 

It's obvious he was getting away from the DPG Kurupt persona.  He was going full on ANTRA Executive mode.

i get that he was leaning into to the mafioso boss image that was popular at the time

but in no way was pulling a dre and tryna step away from gangsta rap like u said

c-walk alone is arguably considered the biggest crip anthem in hip-hop history

Y'all comments got me to re-listen to the West coast disk. The album sucks save a few songs. This was dropped in the golden age of rap...way worse than doggfather. Kurupt is terrible on most of the songs.

That’s a good comp to say Kuruption vs. Doggfather

..they are similar in that they were both letdowns coming off of Classics (Doggystyle) (Doggfood) and both were presumed to be in their prime—but we found out they weren’t, lol

That’s a good comp Doggfather vs Kuruption

…they are both similar in that both artists were presumed to still be in their prime; until we found out they weren’t, lol

the Fresh on "Kuruption!" might be my favorite song on the album...a vintage Death Row type track

the OG was a little lacking

[HighEyeCue]

the version of "Fresh" on the album > the OG unreleased version

[Sccit]

^^ agreed
