Even when Dogg Food was selling multi-platinum they had to lean alot on Snoop's superstar image to recieve the exposure they had at the time.

Yeah, and because everyone had just bought the Chronic and Doggystyle, everyone was ready to buy whatever the fuck else was put out by Death Row, I know I was, because those were two ridiculously dope albums. I think it had loads of pre-orders just from the hypeAlso, what was funny was a lot of people didn't know who the Dogg Pound were meant to be until that album dropped, because up until around then, it wasn't really clear that it was meant to be just Daz and Kurupt.Lots of people thought it was kinda like Snoop and his group, so like Snoop as the main act on the record and RBX, Daz, Rage, Kurupt, Nate, Dre, and everyone all on it (which is kinda like all 3, Chronic, Doggystyle, Dogg Food are all kinda like group efforts), so a lot of people didn't know they were buying a Kurupt and Daz albumAlso most people couldn't tell which one was Daz and which one was Kurupt as it wasn't clear from the records and there was no internet to look shit up on
his music isn't radio friendly, isn't down with the times & simply doesn't connect with today's teens who listen to the radio & buy albums.
he is lazy and doesnt care anymore. In the brief stint that he spent back on Death Row, there was a short glimpse of the old kurupt where he actually put thought into his lyrics..

Not to mention the fact that the industry is overrun by pop-oriented commercial artists.Kurupt is a great rapper (in my opinion), but his style is so different and raw compared to these mainstream artists.Eh, what about I'm Burnt or let's not forget the terrible "It's Over" from back in the days. So if he could, Kurupt would be on of those "mainstream, pop-oriented commercial" artist as you've labeled it. The difference between them and Kurupt is that they were able to crossover while Kurupt failed. It has nothing to do with his "raw" style.
