Convince Me Of Kurupt's Best Lyrical Performance.......

[yeapp]

I'm headless nigga, but I packs a big piece
Blastin, they let assassins loose on the street
Murderous notes I wrote, I lacerate throats
I toss fire at niggaz; motherfuck the six
The condos is supposed to be flip bricks
All thirty-nine of your bitches, pretty-ass bitch nigga
I'll throw some fucked up kicks on
Next is a small tank top, the spot, shot it up
Beat you in your face wit a rope knotted up
Cause we don't give a fuck, the Headless Horseman Kurupt
See I'm off the wall nigga, Horsementality
I'm a Horseman nigga and that's all I'll be
See I'm tired of the sparkly shit, niggaz talkin shit
I wanna see the streets dark again
Let the heaters spark again, police callin all cars often
Powerful as a motherfuckin Vulcan
My specialty is - poetically lyrically energetically
ultramagnetically Dogg Pound pedigree
Fuck the shiny shit, fuck a bitch, only grimy shit
Dirty shit, holocaust in thirty-thirty shit
Missile flick assassin Sicilian
Kill women and kill men, and kidnap children
For vengeance in the name of the Horsemen
Slice your Achilles tendon, the Headless Horseman
And we abide by, the code of the streets
The makings of a real MC (C...C...C...C) yeah bitch!

[187Proof]

I have to disagree with the opening post, or any post that mentions a song he recorded after leaving Death Row.  The reason I say this, is because, if you look at "On Onsite" or "Callin Out Names" (two songs mentioned above) Kurupt is using all these bigwords that rhyme, but don't really belong in the verse, or add meaning to the verse... kind of like Ghostface's loose association style. 

In my opinion, these are Kurupts greatest lyrical appearances....

1.  "New York, New York"-  At the time, alot of people were saying the West Coast weren't real emcee's, that they didn't have lyrics, and all this bullshit, so the Kurupt beat them all at their own game.. and the video ofcourse, added the ultimate exclamation point with them taking over New York and knocking down biuldings.  It was the ultimate statement of West Coast dominance over the East.  The good old days.

2.  "For All My Niggaz and Bitches" - Off Doggystyle.... when Kurupt says... "Now who's jokin/ Rakim never joked/ so why should I loc?... Now that's my idol..."  Kurupt is just going off, and his intensity on the mic is unmatched.

My initial pick was "Callin Out Names", but I can't even argue with you regarding your above statement.

When "New York, New York" dropped, it was like the whole hip-hop world was in a frenzy because no one knew we had lyrical talent out here like Kurupt posessed.

Not to mention "For All My Niggaz & Bitches" is just a timeless classic, and Kurupt's verse helps this track gain that title.

[Snoopafly-1986]

Locd out hood is crazy too

I'm all about the paper chase cause the paper makes
life so great, plus haste makes waste
And I gots the whole spot locked down I concoct styles
Catch me rollin all the fuck around with the top down
Menace with a microphone, most murder masher
Roll for disaster, create a thirty-eight, stash em
in The Inner Zone where the Hellraiser roams
There's no place like home, tec-9's and chromes
I gots the heater sequence for the heat to disperse
Just in case worse come to worse I dumps first
The thump curse, it's the curse of the pump
The one to dump last is the first to get slumped
The mental temptation, mental assassination
My heart skips a beat for the heat sensation
I'm deathdefying bitches lying sayin,  'I ain't cute'
Now she wants an autograph, bitch, I ain't Snoop
I got everything you need from the weed to the dope coke
Crack to amphetamines to speed
I flows like a ravine, deadly as a guillotine
to leave a murderous scene, when the snub pumps a slug in your spleen

Terrordome where it's on, from sellin dope coke to crack
Young Gotti entered the party from the back
Instant pay, I gots to do it my way deserve to swerve
on the highways cause the spot's on from Monday to Friday
Nigga try me, I light the indica and thai weed
Defy me, young Gotti, when I be high as the sky be
Verbal homicide be ready to rupture
Makin moves to touch ya, dissasembled your whole structure
I make money, cause that's all I know how to make
That's all I learned when I was young no hesitation or mistakes
I see a car, filled wit nuttin but rocks and knots
Midnight complexion glocks to shake spots
They see my people so they already assume
I live illegal, but they assumed too soon
I got a treat for every bitch on the street, I roll with beat
I got a problem, I got a fixation for heat
It's time to dump, double-barrel pump, packed and loaded
Instantaneous death when it exploded, uhh
There's not a nigga who can hold me, contain me
or tame me with my fuckin nigga Mo Khomani
I'm out my mind like a Irani, a terrorist
with tactics off that Cristal twisted backwards

+1 thanks alot man

[eazye]

I might get heat for this, but everything he has recorded up to probably 97 (I specifically say that because, for example, Started was released in 2004 but it was clearly recorded around the time Dogg Food was) on death row is just lirycally better than everything else he has spit since then (well at least for me it is).SO I agree with Infinite's post to the fullest, and I add to the list his verse ot Pac's Still Ballin' OG

I agree, he never spit a wack verse while he was on Death Row all those years, around '98 he started getting a little lazy and inconsistent, he still brought it at times but he wouldn't kill every track like he used to.

If it's not solo tracks it's Respect or Reality from back in the Death Row era. If it's a solo track Callin' Out Names is what I would go with.
