Not sure how “major” this is but seems like a major label release anyway—and Kurupt actually sounds great on it—yet it’s more in a Rakim style than the gangsta style he adopted with Death Row

I just found out in that recent VLadTV interview—Kurupt had enough skill then that he could’ve even made it on the East Coast and been like nearly Nas level had he never moved to the West judging from his performance on here he still would’ve made noise

I’m just speaking in hypotheticals—but my point was his sound got more gangsta with Death Row—but that even before that he could’ve ran with that Rakim style all the way to stardom just being an East Coast artist from Philly

That was always the beautiful thing about “New York, New York”—if Rolling Stones was a real magazine and not Illuminati they would not be dickriding their stooge Puffy and ranking Biggie number 1

But tracks like “New York, New York” should be top 10 in any serious magazine or media ranking.  When you consider the East and West War and Kurupt making a statement that Death Row and the West Coast could beat the East at their own game—Kurupt says it perfectly in the Show Documentary he says the East Coast wanted to call out Death Row and west coast and say “oh they can’t really rap” well he served all of them when they dropped the video for “New York, New York”

Exactly, NY NY came to my mind too, top notch lyrics, as said he beat them at their own game..
