dogg food.

agreed.  

I mean, really everything he did on Death Row in the 90's was fire... dude never really spit a wack verse til l he put out his solo album on Antra.  

Like for example, Battlecat hooks him up with a dope beat for "Play My Cards" and he just drops throwaway rhymes with very little effort put in to it.  And then on "Give Me What You Got" he got tore up by some no name rapper that appeared on the track with him.  The production and  concept for that album wasn't bad, but his rhymes fell off after he left the Row.  He came back pretty strong with The Streets Is a Mutha..

Stranded On Death Row

His verses on the Chronic were vicious. Honorable mention would be Started, Snoop's 1st 2 albums and Dogg Food

Kurupt really outshines Snoop on Doggfather (not that hard of a thing to do though), boy was on fire, Up Jump Tha Boogie, Gold Rush, Blueberry, he killed all his verses.

Dogg Food was Kurupt's heyday from a lyrical standpoint. He fell off as soon as he bounced from tha row.

I think they all pretty much fucked up when Pac died and Dre left Death Row


Kurupt was just fire back in the early days but the dude was never designed to be a solo star. Maybe one solo project on Death Row, but its as part of a clique or a guest artist that he could shine

Like I said after things fell apart there so many of em changed direction, and bad livin took over. Kurupt will always be remembered for his ferocious bars 92-96 tho.

I actually really like Kurupt'a time fuckin with the East and back home in Philly. The shit produced by D-Moet especially. I got that white label vinyl of the track he did with Foxy Brown, and that SB1 compilation with the Pretty Boy collab. I think during the making of Kuruption he could easily gone East and made waves over there. Things all fucked up during the finishing of the album tho

that's how you post posers and eastcoast elitists who will frown on you when you say Kurupt's a lyricist, they'll always refer to his verse on Xplosive cause that's about the only verse they know about him, but when you confront them and play New York New York, Smooth, or Doggy Dogg World they literally can't believe their ears.

I thought his verse in "Xxxplosive" was terrible.  I liked the Hittman intro, Nate Dogg does his thing on it, and the beat is unfadeable.. but Kurupt and 6'2" kind of ruined the track for me.  I had the version with Dre and Royce da 5'9" almost a year before the Chronic was released (ya'll remember Dreday.com?) and I still prefer that version.

yeah I agree with you, that's the Kurupt I can't stand, rhyming bitch with bitch. and most rap fans for some reason remember him almost exclusively for that verse (and the cameo in the next episode video), that's why when you tell Kurupt's a great lyricist, most peeps who don't know better will laugh at you.

The Death Row shit was obviously the best, by far.  Most of Tha Streetz Iz a Mutha was good, and some of the tracks that were pretty much all freestyled in the booth (Trylogy, Live on the Mic) were also pretty solid.  But after that, it was really hit or miss.  That being said, Kurupt never really lost his freestyle ability on the spot, like when he was on BET (probably The Bassment) and then some random behind-the-scenes footage where he said some slick shit (nothing mind blowing, but I remember part of it being something like, "I'm smacking these niggas/ Hitting the front and the back of these niggas" or something like that and some better stuff).

What do y'all think made him lose it lyrically like he had & so fast? Like from Chronic to like RAW he was on point, super dope. Then on Streets is a Mutha he was still dope but you can see little signs of decline. Then on Space Boggie he start losing it more. After that, it was all over. I can tell he has it in him every now & then (like some of his verses on Streetlights showed some skill) but seems like he can't channel the lyrical shit that used to be in him. What do y'all think it is, drugs, personal shit, lack of motivation?

I think they all pretty much fucked up when Pac died and Dre left Death Row

I agree.  That's why Lady of Rage's technique didn't fall off post-Death Row.  Pac didn't fucc with her, so she wasn't around him much to degrade her technique and work ethic unlike the other Death Row artists.  Don't get me wrong -- all in all, I think Pac is the GOAT, all things considered.  But perhaps the most unfortunate aspect of his legacy was that his desire to go through each song in one take regardless of the precision of the outcome rubbed off on the other Row artists in a bad way.  It worked for Pac because his talent overcame his lack of diligence.  But I think a guy like Kurupt took Pac's advice to heart to ill effect.  Kurupt said Pac told him to instead of taking three days to make one song, just make three songs in one day.  You do this by sacrificing takes in the studio to get your vocals right and sacrificing the time it takes to deliver complex rhyme patterns and allusions that Kurupt had up until Pac deluded his work-product.  Let's be honest, Pac's technique took a nose-dive on AEOM, and it undid the teaching of musical precision that Dr. Dre had imbued in his Death Row artists from 92-95.

What do y'all think made him lose it lyrically like he had & so fast? Like from Chronic to like RAW he was on point, super dope. Then on Streets is a Mutha he was still dope but you can see little signs of decline. Then on Space Boggie he start losing it more. After that, it was all over. I can tell he has it in him every now & then (like some of his verses on Streetlights showed some skill) but seems like he can't channel the lyrical shit that used to be in him. What do y'all think it is, drugs, personal shit, lack of motivation?

It's what I wrote above about Kurupt's becoming less disciplined with constructing a song.  PLUS other factors: the fact that every verse Kurupt records, it seems like we hear, when back in Death Row's heyday, we really didn't get many verses from Kurupt, all in all.  Maybe a handful for the first few years.  That meant we only heard the best of the best rather than all the vocal sessions that we hear now.  Also, Death Row had the best engineers and studio money and assistants in the game back then; this all helped artists sound their best.  These days, Kurupt is on his own without much assistance.  Who's telling him to rewrite and redo his vocals?  In addition, Kurupt isn't as hungry anymore, and he's run out of things to say.  And, finally, rappers are like athletes -- Kurupt just isn't in his prime anymore.  It's natural that he fell off.  You can't stay in your prime forever.  Typically, once rappers exit their early 30s if not earlier, they begin to fall off.  This happened with Kurupt.

So it's a cornucopia of reasons.

actually, he was rhymin better on "tha streetz" than he was on "kuruption"... since his departure from death row, he's been hit or miss lyrically. it all comes down to effort. he doesnt feel the need to go all out on every track like he did during the death row era. he's not scared to let production dominate a song. "space boogie" was still a great album, lyrical or not.

yeah kurupt on "Trylogy" was the finest he's rapped in the past 15 years



EXCEPT for "2 turntables and a microphone" with crazy tunes in 2008.....i have no idea how but Kurupt channeled his old 1995 self on that song.






edit:  been playing Trylogy on repeat for like 20 minutes now, that beat is amazing and it's a shame Kurupt only did one verse to it.

his delivery on "Streetz" was wicked but his lyrics were mostly hit or miss...Roscoe got the best of him on "I call shots" and on "Step Up" he was subpar as well

he stood NO chance on step up


crooked i body bagged the opening verse and Xzibit also dropped one of his best verses as well.  kurupt in between those 2 had no chance lol

Kurupt was sick on that too, everyone came hard. Didn't look bad at all IMO

"I Call Shots", "Trylogy", "NY, NY", "Puffin' On Blunts & Drinkin' Tanqueray", "It'z A Set Up"

all come to mind... Kurupt ripped too many tracks in his career, still underrated to this day as an MC if you ask me

Kurupt has so much good shit it aint even funny. Even after his prime, he'd have some sick cuts every now and then (Mystic River).

Unfortunately his prime was very short and we've been subjected to an overwhelming amount of  sub-par shit, and that's putting it nicely. He will come correct every now and then, but unfortunately Kurupt will always be one of those "what could have been" type of dude's even when considering how dope he was initially.

Can't say his prime was "very short". He had a good run for several years. All of Death Row and several years after that, were dope. He started falling off after 2000. But still held his own, every once in a while. He tried to re-invent himself many times. That was probably his biggest downfall. He probably felt the pressure and wanted to expand to the level of Snoop, in terms of commercial success. He never accomplished that but he did fine, regardless. He's always been respected. Shit happens. A lot of drama along the way. His personal problems (money, fam etc etc). He lost motivation and competitiveness. It's understandable. Dude was at the top at one point. Not many can say that. I never looked at Kurupt as a "what could he have been". I know what he was...and that's one of the dopest MC's of my time. A legend.
