You guys must be the most toxic fans ever. We have in 10 replies everything
1. Kurupt is Dope -  Battlecat Lost it
2. Kurupt should just stop
3. Snoop is a clown

Exactly.  No wonder alot of OGs have stopped making music or switched up their style to a more modern sound.  These older fans are never satisfied.  This is classic kurupt on a classic Battlecat beat.  Neither are ever going to sound like they did when they were in their 20's no matter how hard they try, you all need to get over it.  Be happy Kurupt is releasing something with the overall vibe of his classic stuff.

I’ll add to the “toxic” opinions lol.

Kurupt sounds beyond lazy; and this sounds like an imitation Battlecat beat somehow.   


I’ve played it a few times and am coming around but it’s nothing great, just average at best.

Snoop is a clown now though...he's basically a caricature of his old self known more for just about everything except his music

Now time for me to be toxic or go into tinfoil territory. Do you guys think, this is the first AI release from Death Row ?
Either Kurupt or Battlecat - being either AI or having AI elements?

Way I feel, these are artists and producers I grew up on and still listen to.
I still bump most of their work daily.

Very happy they are still doing it.

Even though I listen artists like Kendrick, Schoolboy Q, J.cole, Joey etc...... There's something about Battlecat, Snoop, Kurupt, Warren, Quick, Too Short that I still enjoy in a different way.


Music enjoyment is subjective I guess but I still thoroughly enjoy the sound I grew up with and the fact the artists are still getting in the studio and putting in work over 3 decades later.

Yessir, we should be thankful we're getting a Kurupt solo album in 2025 on Death Row produced by Battlecat.

I guess you would need to define what "AI elements" are....as music in general has had AI elements for decades.  On the other hand, if you're talking about a release that Kurupt or Battlecat had no involvement in and that a computer is mimicking their voices or production, NO.  I can assure you that's the real Kurupt rapping and the real Battlecat producing.

we should also be thankful that we got a Dre/Snoop album but look how that turned out

Hopefully this will be different

Dope song. It's a single, so of course it is a little "pop" sounding. Thank you, Kurupt and Cat. I like the song!

Yes, it has a very cheerful and upbeat vibe, imo. I'm glad they didn't lead with a street single, actually.

This is not Pop sounding my guy. Not even mainstream
