Title: This is by far Kurupt's best verse in his entire career
Post by: GangstaBoogy on March 24, 2014, 02:03:45 PM
I just don't understand why so many West Coast artist have given away their best material to meaningless compilations that NO ONE has even heard. Almost as bad as Crooked I giving away "Str8 Boss" while trying to promote "New West Anthem". I wonder if Kurupt even remembers this?

Money and my appetite, growth and sight

Variations of different obstacles we facin

Lifes a scheme, money and cavi, or a dream
Any hesitation, money motivation
Secure your situation keep racin and paper chasin
I'm a far ways from home, but I'ma do it on my own
In my own zone (wrong or right) right or wrong
Who put me in a position to live a lie?

Its just you all alone, nigga you know)
I'd rather die tryin, murder rates multiplyin

Once I had 5 single 1's to my name
And once I had 5 seperate heats to aim
I learned game...stayed to myself and stayed true
And that don't require hurtin me or hurtin you
I'm amped...head to the country for 3 notes

Damn.. nice joint, nice thread...

See, had you not posted this I would of never known or heard about it.  This is the problem.  A rapper like Kurupt or Crooked I really needs someone like Dre over their heads.  Someone like Dr. Dre would of made sure that all their throwaway verses would get scrapped, and that only their best work would see the light of day.

You can best believe that the stuff that came out for Kurupt when Dre was on Death Row was his best.  He was even questioned about how he was able to make everything FIRE in those days, and he said that they wrote plenty of wack rhymes they just never got put out and never saw the light of the day.

Kurupt's career has been totally mismanaged since he left Death Row and like a lot of rappers he's unable to manage his quality on his own.

....Royce 5'9" is another great example of wasting great rhymes and concepts on songs that never come out, and then promoting material of his that is sub-par.

That is a nice verse, unfortunately the cheap sounding beat and annoying "keep trying" chorus take a lot away from it for me though.

Pretty much every rhyme on Dogg Food is dope..

Stranded on DR is one of my favs.

His verse on "Goldrush" from Doggfather was good plus a lot of his guest spots like on Hi-tek compilation.

Kurupt used some of those lyrics on "Loc'd Out Hood".

Post by: Lucifuge on March 26, 2014, 04:36:07 AM
cant fuck with this verse. Had everything. Punchlines, wordplays and shit  8) 8)

Now my rhymes, are as potent as pipebombs
It takes time to concoct rhymes like mines
Like land mines, all set to explode
Microphones, all set to unload
So, watch the means, watch the zone
I made it different with a million dead MC microphones
And they all wanted back by their peeps
Sleep if you dare, cause death catch niggaz when they sleep
Beware of the consequences, it's senseless
to face a prosecuted life or death MC sentence
Travel through your inner thoughts
Just to vision how far I can get, explore to the inner core
and ain't stopped yet, continue the journey
Cause all that shit you kick just don't concern me
You can't U-turn me, back... to... reality... where niggaz pack straps
and they mentality react so violently to leave MC's breathin silently
with hollow point talons for the violence
Ain't no harmin me, ain't got no love for no hoes in harmony
It's easy to find MC's to execute
Chances of survival too small to compute
Recognize, like this was Samuel Sneed
I grip the microphone continue with my devilish deeds
Cause all I see, in my M-I-N-D
Is D-P-G, for L-I-F-E
And all I see, on the M-I-C
Is another mangled MC opposin me
Supposed to be, regulatin in this rap era
Made one error up against the microphone terror
It takes two to tangle
I told Daz don't worry like Keith Murray I'ma strangle
MC's, with the microphone cord
You don't faze, your thoughts been invaded and explored
I know the ins and the outs to you buddy
I know where you live, and how you make your money
I came to violate you, desicrate you, I create two
murderous scenes, can you relate to

Several incorrect lyrics there, but def a classic verse.

Kurupt from 92-96 was def one of the best. I think puffin on blunts is my favorite from him. He blacked out on that one and just kept going.

Kuruption is such an underrated album since Kurupt became such a joke on the mic, and had fallen off from the Row days.


This sums up the vibe of the album for me. Kurupt was going for dirty underground RAW hiphop (but pilled up n shit)

Title: Re: This is by far Kurupt's best verse in his entire career

A recent standout Kurupt verse for me was his verse on 'Made You Look' with Daz.  I think it was a freestyle from a few years ago, I don't know what project it was on (if it even was on one in the first place), but Kurupt ripped it.
