Tupac and Kurupt connection

[MOBnigga06]

I'm wondering: Are alot of you hardcore Pac fans also Kurupt fans?

I'll say for myself that on my Itunes, the rapper I see that I listen to the most and have the most music from - besides Pac - is Kurupt.

I feel like Kurupt is one of the only rappers out there that brings that same intensity and energy to the mic the way Pac did. I don't think anyone would say he's a biter, though - he just has that same spirit as Pac. Do alot of you feel that too?

I almost feel like Kurupt still brings that 1996 Death Row liveliness to the mic on alot of songs to this very day. Alot of the other rappers that were a part of the glory days of Death Row have really fallen off since then, but I think Kurupt (for the most part) still brings that heat.

kurupt is dope but most of his new shit i ain't feelin that much cept for a couple of songs. he needs to start rhyming and not talking over a beat

 

[imported_Big_R]

Not a huge Kurupt fan, but there's nothing wrong with him

 

[Rahim]

I think Kurupt is alright as a rapper. They should've left him on Still Ballin tho.

 

[DJ LV]

yea i love kurupt. songs like we can freak it, set it off are fucking dope

 

[Fonzy`]

fuck yes, kurupts the bomb..when him & Daz are in the zone there aint a better group in rap IMO...lately i been bumpin 'Money on my Mind' from new Daz a fair bit..dope beat

 

[masta247]

I like Kurupt. Bought all his albums but like most hip-hop albums - the older, the better:thumb:

 

[stefanwzyga]

Still by all his albums but he aint as good as he used to be. Mind you that Scrape threw the hood cut is crazy.

 

[troublesome2004]

Kurupt is one of my favorite rappers from the West. But, recently, he often seems so uninspired when he's rhyming which is a shame. Like masta 247 said his older albums were far more better. But, I still think that he's one of the last remaining authentic figures in the game generally.

I like Kurupt, but his older stuff is way better then his new.. Hopefully his new solo makes up for the past couple years..

 

[Bobby Sands]

Kurupt is an excellent lyricist imo.

Word. Actually I think that track is what inspired me to make this thread. I liked a bunch of songs on the new Daz album, but I think that song is one of the dopest tracks I've heard all year.

Ya'll peep Kurupt's flow at some points at this song? I know he's, in general, not as good as he used to be, but damn:

"We DPG'd up, rollin weed up, kickin back with both our feet up"

(Also, Kurupt's verse on the All I Need OG with Snoop n Daz is sick)

 

[Kadafi Son]

Kurupt is still tha shit in his mid 30s

 

[BIG NASTY]

this is his best verse from 2005 imo

Give me a - piece of mind, a nickel, a nine
Somethin' to chip a nigga from ankle to spine
We mobbin' niggaz, if they try to bring up the past
Unless they talkin' 'bout '95 Kurupt and Daz
Unless they talk about '92, 3, or 4
We shatterin' motherfuckers like car windows
Did you know we was back?... back in the 'Llac
Tossin' sacks back and forth like a quarterback jackin'
Bitches eat dicks like pickles
If I'ma go out, I'm goin' out like Brian Nickels
I'm sick of the games, nigga I'm sick and deranged
Poppin' that bullshit will get you hit with them thangs
I'm sick with them thangs, I ain't got no patience left
Without a pistol, light niggaz like crystal meth
You thought niggaz was a joke 'cause of the liqour and smoke?
Quicker to knock niggaz, sicker than leukemia, loc

still can't fuck with his verse from Puffin On Blunts though

 

[MOBnigga06]

I recognize that verse...what song?

 

[BIG NASTY]

[Bachaveli]

Huge Kurupt fan here.But mostly his old stuff.New stuff isn't good at all.All he does is talk now.

 

[MOBnigga06]

What are some of y'all favorite Kurupt tracks?

I love:

Anarchy 97
Can U Feel It
We Can Freak It
What Can I Do (off his new album)
The Streetz Is a Mutha
The Life I Live

and for DPG tracks:

Let's Play House
Feels Good
Coastin
Money on my Mind
Throwin Up Da C
Sittin on 23z


Some of these tracks fall under the category of his "new shit" and I think its still pretty dope. Do y'all hate on the new tracks I listed above?

 

[2PacThug4Life]

I love Tha Dogg Pound. I haven't listened to Kurupt's solo albums in a few years, but when I last heard em, I didn't like them too much. Of course, We Can Freak It is tha bomb song.

 

[Bachaveli]

Most of those tracks yes i dislike.

Some fav joints are New York New York,Me In Your World,Its A Setup,Game,Ask Yourself A Question,Odd Squad,I Didn't Change,The Life I Live.
