DR won because they were just larger in the public eye. The Chronic, Doggystyle, and Murder Was The Case were all huge albums that smashed on Eazy and his back up rappers. And THAT was the problem, Dre had stars dissing Ruthless, Eazy had hype-men. Now if Eazy could have ran his label like a gang (like Suge did) he could've made Ren and Bone come in swinging on DR. That didn't happen so Ruthless lost in the public eye. That's my 2 cents.
"kokane the kavvie" isn't the diss. originally kokane wasn't allowed to use his real name on his album. after his album, and by the time of the deep cover soundtrack (which contained "nickel slick nigga") kokane was using his real name "kokane" and had taken to calling himself "kokane the kavvy"the diss is in the line before, where kurupt is basically questioning kokane's street credibility and hittin' him up on wax. the lines before it he clearly mocked "cold 187um" he even said "cold" in a mock hutch voice. he also mocked the song vsop.
Hm neva heard Koka refer to himself as "Kokane The Kavvy" though...
Cause lyrically Ruthless ate em. Well EAZY ATE EM.

Cuz i'm makin a mixtape called "Death Row vs. Ruthless"i just remembered a great one:kurupt, rage & daz - puffin' on blunts & drinkin' tanqueray (kurupt calls out kokane and mocks atl and vsop. also mocks ice cube and the lench mob which is ignored. dr. dre mocks eazy, tim dog and luke)
Any other songs released? Cuz i'm makin a mixtape called "Death Row vs. Ruthless"
kurupt mocked ice cube ? why ?
heres lil interesting fact that is not really that well known, cube always mentions about his theory on eazy got sick, it was the tunnel, a nyc club, well that night Notorious BIG, Puff Daddy, Eazy E, members of Bone Thugs N Harmony, Ice Cube & Mack 10 were all in attendance and were seen mingling chatting through out the night, Eazy was getting props for bone thugs, this was right after the Creepin ep just blew up, eazy was givin cube props on mack 10 and the movies he had and that were comin out, even biggie was minglin, imagine if cube biggie and eazy ever got down on a song.
