Title: rediscovered Kuruption!
Post by: MIAMI4LIFE on July 19, 2007, 07:32:01 AM
gave this album a few spins for the first time in years and even though considered a big dissapointment when I first bought in '98 it actually is pretty tight especially the West Coast Disc, that Fresh track is something straight out of Death Row 8)

Yeah it was a cool album. The west coast disc was the highlight of the album. Although I thought Kurupt was spittin on that Game track on the East Coast disc. C-Walk was a cold ass song also. Typical double disc, could have been trimmed down to a single disc.

yeah I like It's A Setup, Game and Light Shit Up off of the East Coast disc the rest is really filler to me, The West Coast Disc pretty much is all bangers xcept maybe for a few cuts, that Warren beat on That's Gangsta is really smooth 8)

East coast disc sounded all over the place to me. The west coast disc he had Daz, Warren G, Soopafly, Battlecat and a Dre beat for the majority of the album. Can't beat that. Now if Kurupt would have had a east coast producer like a Pete Rock or someone like Tek Nizzle it would have sounded more cohesive.

true, if he just released the West Coast Disc with the 12 tracks that it had nobody would be talking about how Kurupt fell off cause listening to it now he was definitely spitting heat and the beats were banging, not classic but definitely a solid 4/5

The West Coast CD is banging, and there's several joints off the East Coast disc that are dope. If he took the very best from each disc and put it into one single tracklist, it would've been a classic.

Anyone know who produced track number 11 on the WC disc? It's called "Another Day" but on my booklet there are no credits for it or Dre's track because both were last minute additions.

C Walk is still being bumped in Compton, Watts, Crenshaw area, and West L.A. TO THIS DAY.

C Walk is one of the hardest G songs ever done.

Now I got that beat stuck in my head. I am going to have to throw this back in the ride again.

That C Walk beat is banging I'm gonna try to up it.

"Now Walk On Em..." the  baby synth, those drums, the basseline... it fit Kurupt's 90's flow perfectly.

Does anybody know who produced that track, I copied the cd from my homie years ago.

Man Daz definitely released some heat in '98 with R,R&GB and the couple of beats he did for Kuruption 8)

^^^^

Thinking about it, someone should do a "Best Of" Daz beats

Mos def gonna have to throw 21 Jumpstreet on that bitch (sorry for getting off topic, but this has gotten me thinkin' about Daz Dillie and how dope he can be)

Post by: Twisted Smoke on July 19, 2007, 04:00:51 PM
Yea, that West coast Disc had some Bangers.

My favorite tracks off either Disc are:

FRESH
It's A Set Up
Game 
C-Walk
Ask Yourself a question

Post by: Lunatic on July 19, 2007, 04:12:55 PM
I honestly could not get into this cd for the life of me

Not even much of the west coast disc...C-Walk, Ask Yourself a Question & We Can Freak It are all classic Kurupt songs, but nothing more than medicore for the rest of teh west disc...And the east disc was pretty wack as well, with about 3 cool tracks

easily kurupt's worst album

exactly what I thought when I heard it almost 10 years ago but when I put it back in recently I found out that lyrically this is Gotti spitting with that 90's flow and heat that he hasn't shown since '99

I think the concept was fresh at the time, but it sounded so rushed. If he would have took his time on that East Coast disc and got some big name producers like a Pete Rock or Premier from the East at the time I think it would have been a str8 classic. It seemed like the quality of rhymes decreased with the beats on that disc. Unless he was with another dope rapper like Buckshot to insipre him a little bit.

Post by: d-nice on July 19, 2007, 09:52:15 PM
Aww shit, I found the west coast disc. Bangin that C-Walk song right now.  8) Fresh is dope as fuck also.

Game on the east disc was on some lyrical shit also.

I think this is one of those albums where people appreciate it more years later when comparing it to the present day Kurupt

True. Present Day Kurupt is sounding alot better though. He had some nice verses on that Tangled Thoughts album. I have been bumping that again for the past week or so.

no problem homie, '98 was an underrated year for West Coast rap, I'm gonna bump Cube's War Disc this weekend, another overlooked album

Post by: d-nice on July 20, 2007, 11:04:40 AM
