best kurupt album, undisputable west coast classic... more of a posse album than an actual solo album (lots of posse cuts and features, few solo songs)
that being said, kurupt was past his prime lyrically and he wasn't as sharp as during his death row days, but the vibe is great, the soopafly/daz/fredwreck/organized noise production slap and the chemistry between kurupt and his guests is great. so yeah great album, and a classic as it came out on the same day as 2001 and was part of the gangsta rap resurgence in the wake of Dre's album (the eastsidaz, dpg, etc.)
favorite tracks :
- never gonna give it up
- welcome home
- tha streetz iz a mutha
- i ain't shit without my homeboyz
- callin out names
least favorite tracks :
by elimination, step up (never got into the beat)
-
fav. tracks: represent dat gc., can't trust nobody, welcome home, I ain't shit without my homeboys.
least fav: none.
-
no, but the best dpg record.
-
Not a classic album, not a rap classic, not a west coast classic...
But you could say a DPG camp classic (that mini sub-genre)
-
of course
-
borderline classic, not on the level of Dogg Food because Kurupts lyrics had fallen off by '99...2 classic verses by Crooked I though

Hard to call for me. I mean That record Streez was something I use to listen too every damn day and created a lot of memories with.
Good kid mad city is not something I listen to everyday, a lot of my friends i use to listen to Kurupt with back in the days dont even listen to hip hop any more so in that sense its hard to create memeries
whe you listen to a record at home, in your car or at the gym.
The production on both is diff as well. One is super westcoast Mad city has more depth and its too different eras.
Hard to compare and pick for me

Real talk, my dude. I remember buying the CD, putting it into my portable CD player and knowing it was straight classic from the 2nd-3rd song. Anyone from around the time will remember that this dropped on the SAME DAY as Dr. Dre - 2001, and either you didn't trust '2001' or it was sold out, but I went out solely to but 'Tha Streetz Iz A Mutha...' and I was more than happy.
-
and ending with Callin out names was perfect
-
Solid album but not a classic. A good 8/10 though as it had many banging joints, it's like Kurupts version of Doggstyle minus Dre.
-
Definitely a classic. Only a handful of Westcoast albums since All Eyez On Me are up to par with this. Embodied the West Coast at the time and brought Kurupt to new heights in terms of fame/popularity. Damn near the whole album got radio play out here in LA.

Least fave:
Tha Streetz Iz A Mutha
:eh:

Least fave:
Tha Streetz Iz A Mutha
:eh:
word lol that song is a 5/5, the only song I skip and it's not even so bad is "Tequilla"
"Live On The Mic" was a little underwhelming for a song with him and KRS but it was cool
-
i like all the songs but i find myself focusing on trylogy and the last 5 8)
-
This is a westcoast classic and the only album that I can listen to from start to end from kurupt. Solid ass album...
-
I consider it a classic. At the time i wasnt really feelin the track with goodie mob and it was kinda shit that they put hoes a house wife on there. They shoulda had a new Kurupt/Dre song for it. But i guess everything they recorded at the time ended up on 2001.

hoes a house wife was most likely Kurupts song and Dre took it for 2001
you know how Dre is
-
Least fave:
Tha Streetz Iz A Mutha
I'm surprised that anybody could dislike this song. One of Kurupt's best tracks, in my opinion. It's just good music, period.
The album is definitely classic, Kurupt Young Gotti is one of the greatest rappers in the history of the game, fuck what ya heard.

Of course it's a Kurupt song, the OG is on Kuruption. Dre did the remix in 98 and that was probably the first time the 2001 sound was heard, bringing out Hittman at the same time.
-
Probably a west-coast classic. I listen to it more than 'Space Boogie' that's for sure, but I don't have and haven't heard 'Kuruption' in its entirety so I can't compare it to that.
The Dogg Pound posse cuts are great, as are the straight up rhyming tracks like 'Loose Cannons' and 'Step Up'. I also really like the more mainstream songs like 'Welcome Home' and 'Who Ride Wit Us'. Soopafly's melodic beat on 'It Ain't About You' really sticks in your head as well.
The only 2 songs that I'm not a big fan of are 'Tequilla' and 'Your Gyrlfriend', mainly because of the annoying hooks.
All in all a strong effort for an album with 18 tracks on it.
-
It's a Classic you dumb dumb (In Jayo Felony's Voice) ;D
-
Not a "Doggystyle" status when it comes to classic hip-hop albums but def a West Coast classic - best Kurupt album he released.
-

I actually think dogg food is his (their) version of doggystyle.

It's a classic for Kurupt. If you bought the CD when Dr. Dre 2001 came out, you had 2 CDs full of good stuff. The West was on fire. Up In Smoke, all the good stuff that's gone now. I was lucky enough to see Up In Smoke tour, seen Kurupt with The Liks tour. Good times.
It's a classic for me. I can throw it in anytime.

i'm probably in the minority who likes the OG version on "Kuruption" as well :laugh:
-
OG is great and I like Kuruption very much!! People tripped out coz Kurupt had fallen off from the DR days. But in retrospect its some of his tightest music since
-
yeah i like the og a lot as well

true, some really dope cuts on there...the raw dog assassin :laugh:
-
Best Kurupt and DPG album after Death Row era.
Almost a westcoast classic.
-
Yea its classic
-
It's a legit 4.5 out of 5. It was the perfect wrestcoast album, but I take off a little bit because he introduced his rhyming one word thing that he did at the end of his prime.... Like this...
Man what a bitch, gangsta shit
Fours scrape up the cement then bend
I never love me a ho
Just to remind y'all bitches in case you didn't know
I breaks fool all niggas, way cool all niggas
Fuck all y'all niggas, sawed off y'all niggas
And I'm quick to pull out
Gangsta shit, tell a bitch to stick a dick in her mouth
Now I'm pretty sure that was straight freestyle, but he did it so much later. Still, the rest of that album, pure westcoast classic. Not a bad song, not even Represent da GC, which I took those lyrics from. But I listened to that song so much... LOL
-
Hmmm..it's complicated..it's near a classic..4.5/5
Who Ride With Us is pure heat.
Welcome Home is perfect
Tequila is vicious
It's All About You..bang!!!!!!
Ho's Housewife,Dat DPGC, My Homeboyz..Callin Out Names,I Call Shots
Never Gonna Give It Up is a anthem.
But some other tracks are AVERAGE. Like Girl All Pause...this song is good on accapella version. (Nate Dogg killed this) the beat is wack
