Title: Just hit me Kurupt was probably speaking on Juice Crew on “New York, New York”
Post by: TraceOneInfinite Flat Earther 96' on August 14, 2019, 02:28:23 PM: Was watching KRS on Drink Champs and Kurupt’s line “oh you got the juice I squeeze the juice” that Kurupt was probably speaking on the Juice Crew... not really a diss or anything but just kind of like a jab or a reference of East Coast counterparts and their claim to dominance as Emcee’s

It's "Oh you got the juice? I squeeze you juiceless".

Yes thanks for the clarification...

The word follow Juice-less was “it’s” so I don’t know it kind of ran together in my head

You're probably right. And not everything is meant as a straight up diss.
Sometimes it's just friendly competition.
It's battle rap, MC shit, that's what the whole song is all about.
Unfortunately it was misinterpreted and lead to a whole bunch of crazy beef.

I mean yeah, a lot of it is just hiphop and if he was thinking of the Juice Crew then yeah that was probably nothing more than in the spirit of competition.

There is a side of me though that feels like there is some revisionist history going on whenever rappers act like the East/West thing was only a media invention...the lines were a bit blurred... but I digress
