Cube.


I don't think anyone will argue that Cube has the better longevity, but I think Kurupt from 1992-1999 was matched by nobody lyrically except for that Crooked I guy

Cube has dropped more classics than Kurupt, to me Kurupt has only delivered Dogg Food and Tha Streetz Iz a Mutha. But Kurupt's guest appearance's shit on Cube's.

Kurupt at his very best is better than Cube at his very best. Cube goes higher on the list overall, though.

Kurupt was real mc back in the days, Cube was just a rapper. I like how Kurupt was switching flow and he's wordplays back in the days, Cube always sounds the same.

C'mon man.  It's one thing if you want to be a groupie of some fat dude who will never release an album, but saying Kurupt is better than Cube?  Kurupt's lyrics usually go something like this, "bitch, fucken bitch, suck a dick you god damned bitch, you ain't nothin but a bitch,.....bitch".  The dude is a clown at this point.  He's not to be taken seriously.

fuck these comparisons between rappers.. they both great, but I don't think you can compare them.

Personally I think Cube just wins because of his work besides just rapping.

Lyrically of course Kurupt WAS better (he's just shit now with a nice verse here & then) but they both had dope discographies. I'd go with Kurupt though because of his legacy with DPG & I bump his music way more than Cube's.

Cube any day. Kurupt was the shit on Dogg Food. And occasionally comes through with a fly lyrical verse. Other than that, he's just boring to me, no charisma whatsoever. He either curses too much with verses that make no sense, or uses big words that in the end make no sense either. Someone used the word clown and I think it fits dude well. I love some of his albums but really I never took him seriously personality-wise, that's why I say he has no charisma. He's trying too hard to look hard, just like in the movies he's in, who can take him seriously ? I mean at least other rappers know how to fake. But he can come with some extaordinary shit, like the verses on I Got My Mind Made Up, New York New York... too bad it hardly represents 20% of his catalogue.

Now Cube is a trendsetter and a leged and I'd say he has a better delivery than Kurupt, more charisma and better lyrics overall. I enjoy his story telling skills and his crisp delivery. He's just so creative. But he is a sell-out, and nowhere near credible when he takes on the gangsta persona.

kurupt is in cubes fav top 10 mcs

Cube's list also included his friends/fellow rap vanguards Snoop Dogg and E-40.

"Snoop to me is the ultimate rapper 'cause he got everything...Too $hort is simply great. He still got one of of the purest rap styles of early rap...Game is ferocious like a pitbull. He one of them rappers where his voice makes everything sound good, just like D.O.C. [Ice-T] was the first person to be accepted nationwide by the hip-hop industry...E-40's style is all styles...Kurupt's style is complicated and hard, like razor blade hard..." (Complex)
The rap legend also said Ras Kass is an elite caliber emcee.

Two of the best rappers of all time, but I've got to give it to Cube for all the dope albums he's blessed us with.  Really great mic presence and angry flow as well which I don't think Kurupt has as much.
