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

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

I don't get all the hate for the west disc, there's no skips and for me the weakest song is Ho's a Housewife.

Not sure how you can say it doesn't have a DPG/Death Row feel with features from Daz, Tray Dee, Roscoe, Slip Capone, Gonzoe and Dr. Dre plus production from Warren G, Daz, Soopafly, Battlecat and Dre, doesn't get much more DPG than that. Album came out in 98 which was a bit of a transition period for Death Row and DPG, Snoop was down at No Limit and RBX and Rage weren't really even on the scene around then.

My only gripe is the west disc could have been longer and the east disc wasn't really necessary.

the "Fresh" on the album > the OG with Soopa and Daz

it sounds like something that would fit in any previous classic Death Row album

I feel the same way...the East Coast Disc is the problem

just add the 3 or so dope tracks on there to the West Coast Disc and you have a classic album on par with Streetz

i'll repost them 1 by 1:

the "Fresh" on "Kuruption!" > the OG unreleased version

it has that classic Death Row type sound

[Sccit]

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

[Sccit]

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.

[Sccit]

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
