Production is ok, but for me Kurupt flow, delivery and lyrics are very weak, this album doesn't get spin in my cd player.
my humble opinion...kurupt fan...bought it...worth buying to hear kurupt...no where near a classic though..first time listeners...check out streets is a mutha to get a real sense of how kurupt gets down...i checked out tharow.com and they had this to say "Many are wondering why there is a lack of promotion for "against tha grain" on this website. Basically we do not support nor endorse this record. Many songs made for the album were removed by Koch. This was not the intended "Against Tha Grain" we wanted to release and for this reason we urge fans not to purchase the album." i wonder how good this cd could have been??10=classic9=superior8=above average7=average6=below average5=don't need to mention below this pointI give it an overall 7/10 Beat LyricsSpeak on it 5/10 6/10Stalkin 6/10 5/10 6/10Deep Dishes 9/10 8/10Its a Wrap 3/10 6/10(couln't vibe)Throw Back Muzic 86' 8/10(nate imitated) 8/10Im Back 6/10 7/10Anarchy 6/10(fast of slow paced?) 7/10slide n slide out 7.5/10(i felt the beat) 9/10(East ang big helped out)Can you feel it 5.5/10(chrous killed it) 5/10Jelousy 7/10 7/10(roscoe gets a 9)Calico 3/10(reminds me of jarule) 7/10The past 8/10(Dave Holister) 8/10(felt the vibe or was it the weed??)Bull Shit & Nonsense 6.5/10 7/10Hustlin 7.5/10(east coast vibe) 8/10My Homeboys 7.5/10 7.5/10(beat revolves around pac)u fucking with the best 6/10(repetitive) 8/10(next califronia governor)
the DPG version of ATG with the tracks recorded before he went back to Death Row is definitely the better albumhttps://www.discogs.com/release/4461370-Kurupt-Against-The-Grain
You got a link to where I can hear that version? Or even just one of the better songs off that you recommend and link?Bottom line though Kurupt just lost his invincibility when he lost his youth. Some rappers don't age well. He's still a great guy, and good in interviews, and as person--but lost his gift as an emcee
