Kurupt freestyling again...sometimes it came out dope but sometimes it came out like thatthat Battlecat beat was crazy however...really all 4 of the ones he didIve been listening to it a lot lately...really if Kurupt was in top form or at least in Streetz form we would be talking about a classic West Coast disc
It was all laid out for him. 1998 was the last BIG opportunity for an artist of Kurupts caliber to go platinum. The industry was at its optimum health: —pre-MP3 and Napster explosion that took off in 99’—even B-Team No Limit artists were pushing major units in 98’—MTV and BET were at the height of their music video popularity pushin artists—All the rap magazines like Source, XXL on the rise, Blaze, Rap Pages, in full effect pushin artists—Kurupt had yet to fail his credibility was untarnished and he was coming off platinum albums Dogg Food and platinum guest appearances—Respected by all the producers, rappers in the game, anyone would answer their phone if he called for a beat or a guest appearance —He was still in his physical prime around only age 25 still—He got backing from the major A&M and they granted him his own label ANTRA and budget for the album to give him every chance to turn in a classic^^All this and he takes probably 2 minutes to write his verses or just goes in a booth and just rhymes,“DumpinPumpin JumpinDippinDashinMashinCrashinFashionLocToc SmokeSpark itStart itPark itTarget
one of the worst verses I heard Kurupt ever spit was on the Ras Kass track "Ice Age" that same year...same freestyle flow just rhyming random words
Yeah seriously, someone has got to ask him in an interview what happened, because he clearly wasn’t writing the same way after Death Row
it's energy he was around dre, snoop, DOC, Rage, RBX during the death row daysdraws inspiration rhyming has a lot to do with the energy u surround yaself wit
Facts...there's a big difference between the Death Row crew and Foxy Brown/Pretty Boyone story I heard that Kurupt was so drunk one night that he actually let Foxy write his 1st verse on this track
Snoop was my hero as a kid. He fell in line with Hulk Hogan, Sylvester Stallone, Michael Jordan, Joe Montana, your hero is always supposed to come through for you when you need him most.
RIP The Super Destroyer
See listening to that and even the Ras Kass song I can see him saying, “that shit bumps it’s dope”. He was on a BET Rap City interview in the Dogg Food era and said him and Daz would argue because Daz would keep wanting to change shit and he would be like “nah it’s dope”I think it comes down to that, B Legit, Bad Azz (“Money Houses and Cars”) and Rass label cut him a check or whatever, shit sounded dope enough he had a good time in the studio hung out with them and all that was good enough for Kurupt.And there was no Dre, no Suge, no Daz, no Snoop, no Warren G—nobody around that was his equal or above to put a foot in his ass and tell him to do shit over again. B Legit, Bad Azz, and Rass aren’t on his level as far as stripes in the game to tell him, “yo Kurupt what the fucc was that that shit was weak, I need some shit like what u were doing on Dogg Food, do your shit over again”.For Pete Rock he gave his A game maybe because Pete Rock is a producer so he made Kurupt do the shit right
yeah man I think the problem was a combination of a lot of factors...like Sccit brought up the people surrounding him at the time...I remember Dre mentioning to him not to do a double album, if Dre would have had any type of input or involvement other than the last minute addition of "Ask Yourself A Question" we are looking at a totally different project
I went to listen to Kuruption today on Spotify and it's not on there, annoying.
No doubt brother,Hogan my first hero. Woke up on a Saturday morning to find my brother in front of the TV watching Hogan’s “Rock-n-Wrestling”. I would say RIP but any true Hogan fan knows Hulkamania never dies !!!
RIP to a legendwhat do u make of his racist remarks?
