Dre and Kurupt discussing Death Row and more stuff (November 1998) *Rare*

[HighEyeCue]

LOL at Kurupt's Yankees Starter jacket, had the same exact one

I think Dre advised Kurupt not to make a double album, should have took his advice

did you see this video before? its new to me

new to me too, Dre and Kurupt were supposed to make a mini movie out of the single so I guess this was some bts footage they shot for it

yeah remember seeing that around '99 or so on BET's Rap City

its a shortened version of the mini movie that was never released

[Dre-Day]

ah, thanks for the info

[2euce 7even]

i just watched it.good shit.

That video is/was rare. Dr Dre was not really permitted to speak about Death Row Records so openly at the time. He had a legal case against the label for years

[DeeezNuuuts83]

Lol sad,

Kurupt says hes not doing any projects without Dre involved (to which Dre agrees)

We see how true Dre was to his word...

Well, they still did things together... there was Ho's a Housewife (which appeared on both 2001 and Tha Streetz Iz a Mutha) plus Dre put Kurupt on a few 2001 tracks (Xxplosive and The Next Episode), but then remember that Kurupt went back to Death Row and wasn't on good terms with Daz or Snoop at the time, let alone Dr. Dre.

[Jimmy H.]

Him and Dre actually stayed cool with each other during his time at Death Row. In an interview with Rime Magazine, I remember Kurupt saying he would never talk bad about Dre because even though Dre was the one out of the core people he came up with that he chills the least with on a personal level, he was also the least dismissive of him publicly for signing with the label. Dre somewhat reinforced this by giving him a shout-out at the Vibe Awards after that whole melee incident ensued.

[bouli77]

yeah even during his stay at Death Row, Kurupt clamored publicly his love and appreciation for Dre and Dre was never the one to be very vocal about his feuds except for Eazy E and Jermaine Dupri so he never said anything about Kurupt. I remember an interview from that period where Dre was being photographed in front of a framed Death Row picture. People were talking about how intentional it was and how Dre wanted to cease fire. but that was just before the Vibe Awards incident.

Dope video, interesting to hear dre talk about pressure,nothing has changed in 10 plus years

well the pressure for detox is much higher.

plus i think he was more confident back then.

[Jimmy H.]

Much tougher to put an album out now. The presurre is gigantic on his part and no matter what he does is people are likely to going to shit on it. Interscope is relying on him to give the music industry a shot in the arm. The West Coast needs him to create that interest so all these other guys can eat. The fans all want different shit and have grown increasingly impatient with all the delays. And on top of that, he got people leaking all these tracks and having the public SHIT on them. People are expecting the GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL-TIME and that's a hard thing to just walk in and create.

no way he can come close to the commercial success of 2001, or the critical praise that The Chronic got. Plus the confidence issue like Dre-Day stated.

[Jimmy H.]

I think it is entirely possible to do both. The longtime fans will be the toughest sell because they are too specific in what they want and anything other than that is the end of the world to them. He needs to stop worrying about doing either and just concern himself with making great music. Dre done had his hand in too many hit records not to have one more great album in him.
