Just downloaded Kurupt's new Moonrock mixtape and was fairly pleased with it. It's good to hear some new music from Gotii, though I stopped checking for his releases after Streetlights.
Since Kurupt doesn't have his online game together, can anyone here provide a list of all (or some) of the music Kurupt has released since Streetlights? I see tons of random videos from him and Zodiak on Youtube, but it's unclear where these songs were released.
I hope Kurupt stays making headlines in 2015. This year could witness a Young Gotti renaissance and ya do know that.

the moonrocks mixtape was alright...a couple real tracks sprinkled in wit a buncha shit tryna appeal to clubs/radios. kurupt is always releasing shit, so i duno bout a list, but peep that mega-kurupt thread.. shits always gettin updated wit new tracks n what not.

I really liked Streetlights when it came out (think I was on the hype train after the underrated Blakqout). Kurupt did some really nice music with Terrace Martin that got released prior to Streetlights dropping. I'm not gonna say more lyrical, but you could tell they were concept tracks that were built from the ground up and not just Gotti spitting random shit over generic beats. Shame none of them made the album. Not hating on Streetlights, but Kurupt was mostly gone on there other than the occasional moment of clarity "I don't sell records, coz people don't LIKE me" - Kurupt the antihero is something he should really take further IMO
My fave track that ended up on Streetlights as a remix will always be (the OG version of) Bounce Rock Skate. Quiks verse is one of my favourites of any West artist in recent years and was from a time when unity of OG west artists was at a recent peak.
Nothing since Streetlights dropped has gone into regular rotation so can't help there. Daz however has made plenty of music in comparison that gets play. Will be interesting to see what comes up in this thread 8)
-
the last few pages of the Kurupt superthread contain a lot of new music...not much of it is really memorable though but there are a few dope tracks
-
Streetlights was dope as fuck, just brought that album out recently for the first time in like 3-4 years
if he scratched or replaced a few joints that were near the middle of the album it had classic potential
-
I just downloaded the Money-Bitches-Power mixtape for the first time. Didn't bother to check it out when it was first released. It has a few nice songs on it.
The song "Power" is especially dope - easily one of the best songs from Gotti in the past decade. That beat from Notch is straight fire.
-
"Streetlights" had some heat, was underrated IMO...not feeling the electronic vibe though that he is going with on alot of recent tracks

Kurupt sounds good on the new-school West Coast beats, in my opinion. He sounded coherent again on the song "Something That U Not," which is a straightforward Mustard-style song.
I'd enjoy a coherent album from Kurupt over beats from DJ Mustard and his associates. Kurupt also sounded good on "I'm Burnt" on Streetlights.
-
to be honest wit you, if it wasnt for him bein one of the greatest emcees out west in his heyday, wed all be fuckin wit alota them tracks on moonrocks. just the fact that it's not what were lookin for from kurupt got cats feelin weird bout bumpin kurupt songs that sound interchangeable wit tyga or yg.....but they aint that bad, as far as club music goes.

I wouldnt mind an album with a few Mustard beats mixed with mostly Terrace production...

He should go back to Fredwreck and do another album with him 8)

No Mustard!!! Neva!!! FredWreck, Battlecat, even Daz Dillinger, and of course Quik, but BlaQKout was experimental, anyway it's betta than nowadays shit. Hopin for WhiteOut. From newest - maybe Knotch, and whose that cat What310? He made couple of good songs i think on MoonRock.
Read in interview that there was an album on the set "The Next Level" back in 2011. Produced by J. Glaze from NYC. We have All In Time single from there. I think it would be cool project if it ever b released. But it's not goin ta happen. "Queitly" is also prod by him. He also promised a project with Big Duke of Psycho Realm this year.
Also read Tha Chill said about 75-85% complete album with Kurupt. Dunno is it a Kurupt solo or just Chill's Chillafornia compilation. We have :Anytime U Wannit, Liven 4 2a Day (check youtube)

In 2012 was promised Dre producing new Dogg Pound album "Alumni". Nice&Slow from there i guess. and there a couple of videos of Kurupt in the studio previewin new music with [Chicago?] producers, and talkin bout Alumni.
There's also a pic with Fred & Tray Dee in the studio. All We Have Is Wait.

Props on this info. What part of Europe are you from, homie? I'm curious to know how far the fandom of Kurupt Young Gotti extends. Your English is pretty easy to understand, by the way.

Yeah bro... Kurupt has kind of been emerging back into my conscience lately as well. Him flipping out about the Kendrick thing has gotten him some attention, and who knows, maybe 2015 will be a comeback year for Kurupt...
...I haven't really understood him, his music, or the moves he's made since Space Boogie. But from the Chronic to Space Boogie, Kurupt had always been more than just a favorite rapper of mine but also someone I looked up to.

you're not guna enjoy his new shit, it's all club music

One of the main problems of kurupts music (not just since "Streetlights", more since his days on death row) are the lyrics and the bar he set so high for himself in his prime. Back then he was spitting pure heat in his lyrics and was able to go toe to toe and in most cases even completely murder other lyrical rappers. But nowdays his retarted style "Fuck A Bitch, Suck my Dick, You fuckin bitch, Cause bitches aint shit" or something like that (thats not an actual quote from him, but its shit like this he raps nowdays) is just boring, repetitive and flat out whack. He has gone from an insane lyrical level he set for himself to complete shit. There are still glimpses of his former self scattered through his discography, take the "Intro" on streetlights for example, was surprised at how dope this was, or "2 Turntables and A Microphone" (still pisses me off how he is cut off before he continues with his last bars about newports cancer infected, that was dope would love to hear him continue there), but overall Kurupt seems pretty much finished from a lyrical standpoint. Even his flow is sometimes lacking now, something that wouldve never happened to the old kurupt. The only thing that could help him to make a comeback, would be to quit whatever hard drugs he is taking nowdays and really sit down for a year or two, and work on the lyrics until they are actually lyrical again. Then he should get producers like quik, terrace martin, fredwreck and bc on it, add a few features from the dpg camp here and there and also some other west coast vets. This way he could actually manage a comeback, but thats pure wishfull thinking and is likely never gonna happen...

I noticed a thing that Kurupt has a concept in his projects/albums - each of them is produced by 1 (or 2) producer entirely.
Same Day Different Shit - Daz (& I.V.). Blaqkout - DJ Quik. Tekneek Files, Penagon Mixtape - Tekneek. Digital Smoke - J. Wells. Streetlights - TM. BC & FrWr earlier... Maybe this is the reason why he doesn't go back to them, he doesn't want to do the same, to repeat himself. Hopin for the Big Duke produced album to drop!
-
There's also was announced Primo&SoulBrother produced album "G Boy Status". And we have only "Yessir", which was included in Streetlights. I think Primo is good for Nas, so that's why I want to hear Kurupt & Pete Rock collabo album. They have their chemistry together.

a shame he never did more work with Premier other than that Gangstarr remix

Nice post.
Personally I would like to see Kurupt reinvent himself on some type of Snoop Lion type of shit. I would like to hear from Kurupt the father, family man, Kurupt the West-Coast legend, Kurupt the elderstatesmen of hip-hop, looking back on the fall of Death Row and so on... He could do more reflective tracks like "The Life" joint he had on Kuruption which is my favorite Kurupt solo joint of all time.
But let's face it, Kurupt has always lacked range. He has always been dependent on other great artists surrounding him to add different flavors and seasoning to his music. If you lack range it is going to be hard for you to have a lot of longevity as an artist.

Streetlights? Streetlights?! Gotti has been garbage after Space Boogie. Sure he can surprise us with a decent / good track here-and-there but my favorite rapper has been finished since 2003 (and thats being modest).

As a solo artist maybe..
There's some decent Dogg Pound music since then

kurupt hasnt been that great in the 2000s period

After the split with Foxy and all the drugs. I think working with Dre in 98/99 saved him from oblivion
-
I forgot he also announced Equinox album with new producers (?) & After Hours EP in 2013. There are several albums due to drop after the Streetlights, but we have only few mixtapes with few good tracks within these 4 years.
-
Most of the announced projects that were never released wouldn't have been that great anyway. Kurupt hasn't been constantly dope since his prime during the death row days and it only got worse with time so theres a good chance most of those albums wouldve been very very mediocre at best...

the only track I have on repeat on his Moonrock mixtape is "Mystic River" but that was an old joint...I think around 2007 or so
-
Yeah it was also on his full circle mixtape and that was around the time "Cali Iz Active" dropped if I remember correctly so the time should be right.
Shame none of the new tracks come close to this..

What about "Power" from MoneyBitchesPower? "Gotti", "Massacre Central", "Part Of The Game" & "Nobody" from Penagon Rydaz (2011)? "Let Off" ft. Jay Rock & Ill Camille?
Another 2 good NYC producers for Kurupt - Hi-Tek & Dame Grease.
-
The one project that Kurupt announced that the fans really need - a project that is bound to be dope - is Blaqkout 2.
Kurupt and Quik are great together, fuck what ya heard.

Kurupt just needs to work with real producers not beat makers

Bit weird how Kurupt and RBX are both making two separate albums called Equinox at the same time. They probably guest appear on each others' tracks too ;D
