Additionally many tracks drag along infinitely with unnecessary adlibs. He parrots Wu-Tang’s “poisonous darts” metaphor without remotely being able to match it with words of his own. Magazine The Source described the lead single “We Can Freak It” as ‘the calm before the storm, or the wack MC’s last chance to live before being lyrically mangled and devoured.’ Sadly, “Kuruption!” proved to be barely bark and virtually no bite, at times coming across like a largely freestyled effort. It goes well beyond his habit to combine similar words (textbook example here: “Only the survivors survive in a world of survival”), he’s simply not the crisp, engaging MC you knew from “Lyrical Gangbang,” “Doggy Dogg World,” or “Do What I Feel.” Combined with minimalistic production, abundant mic time and the absence of high-profile guests, Kurupt’s lyrical shortcomings are magnified. At other times the situation seems to weigh him down still, resulting in a somber, melancholic mood. On “Kuruption!” the Raw Dog Assassin often sounds more like a puppy, distractible, carefree, as if to demonstrate that he won’t let the pressure get to him. Kurupt’s special skill has always been his latently aggressive demeanor, embodying the rapper who channels his frustration into poignant stanzas. Guests who are often so obscure they may very well make the only recorded appearance of their career.
KURUPT C WALK INSTRUMENTAL PLUS
But whereas Death Row releases were typically staged as a family affair, Kurupt sounds almost lonely on “Kuruption!” – despite the dozen plus guests. Dre makes a surprise appearance that was even put in motion in a video clip. And while there’s no mention of Suge, Dr. Daz features on and produces two tracks, while Deee and Soopafly contribute a verse and a beat, respectively.
KURUPT C WALK INSTRUMENTAL SKIN
Or I might just whoop the skin off your ass if you cross our pathĮven as Death Row was more or less history, Kurupt tried to keep the Dogg Pound Gangstas brand alive, shouting out Daz Dillinger, Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, Tray Deee, Soopafly Priest, and Death Row as well. Thinkin’ I might not bust – and I just might blast “And I might go slow, and I might go fastĪnd I might go first, then I might go last In combination with producer Studio Ton’s simple but gripping Earth, Wind & Fire interpolation, “This One’s For U” is an early emotional moment on “Kuruption!” The musical side of Kurupt’s adopted home is further represented by Warren G, who produces the pensive “That’s Gangsta,” and veteran West Coast sound architect Battlecat, who modulates the gangsta boogie of “We Can Freak It,” where the rapper has a Rodney King moment when he asks, “Why can’t we just chill and get along, motherfucker?” Elsewhere he is less forgiving, like on “Can’t Let That Slide” or “Fresh,” where he spits: Get the cash as one, all the homies mash as one” When I first ran into heaters, 9 millimeters

To a whole different hood where different shit takes place So I tell him, ‘I love you, stay safe,’ then I skates Was a vision of himself… He choked and he awokeĪnd I just paused to laugh, ‘That’s some familiar shitĬause the other day I dreamt up some similar shit’ He turned back and drawed, and all he saw – He said someone approached him and he looked the other way

“Hollered at one of the homies the other day Previously not known for his compassion, he shares the street experience simultaneously with an anonymous comrade and the listener on the opening “This One’s For U”: The West Coast half is marked by Kurupt’s allegiance to the homies and the hood. Each CD had a geographical denomination, CD 1 representing the West Coast, CD 2 the East Coast. He did so in late 1998 with an ambitious double-disc set on his own imprint. Even for the loyal Kurupt came eventually the time to break out on his own. Then came the turbulent years of 2Pac’s glorious return and tragic death and Dre’s and Snoop’s departure from Death Row while label boss Suge Knight was incarcerated between 19. From “The Chronic” and Snoop’s solo “Doggystyle” Kurupt and Daz emerged as Tha Dogg Pound, who in 1995 would complete the triumvirate of classic albums with “Dogg Food.” And it wasn’t just “Long Beach and Compton together,” there was Virginia transplant Lady of Rage, and there was Kurupt, a 20-year-old with a fiery, nimble flow who hadn’t forgotten his eastern roots, having grown up in the Philadelphia metro area. Like never before on a rap album a carefully picked supporting cast made essential contributions, from RBX to Nate Dogg. Dre’s “The Chronic” so untouchable was the fact that it was such a concise group effort.
