better tan blockbusta, but not as good as ele 2 was imo.

most of the songs sounds like demo or not final version to me.

couple of the joints are too short, not even 2 minutes.

but they usin dilla beats a fine way.


rip dilla!

now i gonna check the original mixtape.

Constantine: City of Demons (2019)
.
really cool animation version of a one shot/special comic.
matt ryan is cool constantine.

Album is pretty dope. I'm going to assume it's been thrown together over the last few years. Considering Kurupt probably wasn't as closely produced/monitored on this album like he was by Battlecat, his verses are quite dope. He didn't get lazy or anything. Very stellar project.

Has more of an NY sound, but obviously not a surprise with Rakim and Masta Killa involved.

just heard it, yeah dope album but different from the one with Battlecat

I just wish Rakim was featured more on the rapping end of things

In ur opinion, lol. I don't like any of these better except for Vince maybe, but it's not even comparable imo.

Gave By Storm a spin btw and it was a snooze fest for me, lol

man, that was the question:

Is there any competition in your opinion?

Kurupt & Battlecat is the best album in 2026 for westcoast heads 😉

you mean deathrow/aftermath stans, right?


man, please...

i like this album. i like a lot. but there are some old tracks on it. the videos are repetative and simple.

"Objectively" cant be the best of the year.

I use "" cause i know there is no Objectively  in taste of art.

MAIMONIDES HASNT DROPPED YET

 

wait for it!

After few spins I can say that this album has Top Dawg flavor for sure.

Damn Kendrick could have at least provided a feature given that he pulled from Game's album because he was loyal to Kendrick.

I saw that they are predicting him to sell 9,000 units first week.  Not surprised because it doesn't seem like there was a ton of marketing behind it, which is a shame.

Not sure where to place it but "Kokane ft Cole 187um - Don't Bite The Funk", it is very overlooked and better then 50% of this list. Pretty much predicted the down fall of Death Row Record to a tee.

Definitely under-rated and should be in the top 25.  I don't know they have Eazy-E that far down either.  To me that is a top 10 diss track.   

I'm sick of this man, what happened to Slick Rick saying in the Show "Like Snoop and Warren it works because they came up together, but when you mix this with this, just cause this artist is hot and this artist is hot, it don't work"

Just cause Quik is dope and Scarface is (supposedly) dope, doesn't mean it works.

You've said some wacko shit over the years lol, but THIS takes the cake
