I think he used to be the best on the West, especially because of his lyrics. He seems to just freestyle now, and his voice & flow are still great, he's just got no content. He kills that verse on the Hi-Tek album though, which makes me believe he's still got it. Plus, nothing beats the way him & Daz sound on a track together.

Plus, nothing beats the way him & Daz sound on a track together.yeah their chemistry has always been unbelievably palpable. Kurupt even says it on his pseudo daz/soopa diss "i didn't change": 'me and the homie used to be the tightest group/and to this day we still the tightest group'To me he killed the hi-tek verse cause he sat down and wrote it. i bet he can do that whenever he sits down and writes a verse, I think we have heard very few written Kurupt verses ever. I've been theorying for a while that most of his work is freestyled. part of what makes me think this is that alot of his verses are almost literally just different scrambles of the same words: peep his verse on sly boogy's CA remix...it's interchangeable with 80% of the verses on streetz iz a mutha.-T
snoop also freestyles alot of his verses but I think Snoop is a doper freestyler than Kurupt he's alot smoother, Kurupt is the better lyricist he has written a few of Snoops shit and Daz's

If you think Gotti doesn't know what the fans had to say about YGATG, SDDS & CIA? He knows people think he fell off, probably sick of the critics, and that's why he stepped it up on the Hi-Tek album. All in all, when I hear Kurupts voice on a song, it automatically is gonna get a listen from me.

I think it's not so much that he stepped up it's almost physically the opposite lol, I think he sat down and wrote that shit whereas I theorize, 80% of stuff that we've EVER heard from Kurupt (chronic 1992 to now) is freestyled. but that's just my thought.-T
DPG will always best on some DAZ beats

If so that's the first I heard a theory like this...those tracks u mentioned must be serious...to tell the truth I haven't been following up on DPG lately...I used to a BIG fan(still am I), but I also believed for a long time they would make a huge comeback...quality wise I'm speakin...now I kinda lost hope...anyway those tracks u mentioned in the first post...PM me.
