WTF was Kurupt talking about in that verse? the definition of spitting without saying nothing.

It's less about what he was saying and more of how he was saying it. West coast rappers were being called wack because they had a more straight forward style with less concentration on wordplay and metaphors.

You can hear Snoop in the beginning mocking their slang "Turn the speakers up money! Yo god! Yo I got mad skills" :laugh:

Kurupt rapping that way was mocking New York rappers that felt superior because they were more wordy/complex..yea he got a nice vocabulary but he doesn't really over do it like that in his other shyt. Kurupt was trolling NY "lyrical miracle" rappers like ok...we can do that shyt if we wanted to, it ain't that hard.

DMX is a studio thug and crackhead who done smoked his moms TV and is shook to see K-Solo for dolo on the streets

Kurupt was riding with Suge and the west coast homies, don't need to say anything else

To keep it a buck, both DMX and Kurupt are baseheads.

Lyrically, Kurupt is better but career wise, DMX got it.

And the politics of LA gangs doesn't work like that. Suge was MOB Piru and his entourage/enforcers were MOB Priu. They were not going to ride for Kurupt or any of the Dog Pound Gangsts since they were Crips. Kurupt was a Rollin' 60s Crip. You can see him throwing the six sign with his hands in his Foxy diss track video below at the 2:06 mark. Although he was part of the 60s, he wasn't an active member. In LA, you're not really considered down for the set unless you do a shooting or stabbing against a rival.

nikkas in this thread saying DMX had Kurupt's homie killed are the same type of nikkas from back in the 90s that said Redman was in Wu Tang. :russ::russ:


More than likely, it was Eight Tray Gangster Crip member that killed Kurupt's homeboy since they have historically been the biggest rival of the Rollin 60s Crips.

DMX getting him killed is pure Ducktales.

Why people acting like the shooting had anything to do with DMX? Do people realise that the person that died was was related to Big U? If it was suspected that DMX had anything to do with it he would not be able to come to LA.:stopitslime:
cause irv talked about the shyt on the intro to murda inc right after it happened



nikkas asking me what you do gotti... they shytting on you gotti... like i'm gonna tell you what i'm gonna do... we about this shyt nikka... we murda


and this is the same time preme was sending hits out and still killing nikkas in the street



now whether true or not, this is why people thought that

He responded in XXL.

He (i'm paraphrasing here) said it had to be a misunderstanding, and he coulda holla'd at him
if he had a problem because he's "an easygoing muthafucca".



...now the person who didn't respond who should've was Nas.

Kurupt gettin a lot of hate in this thread. East coast coli bias strikes again. Kurupt is a rappers rapper, meaning he can freestyle with the best of them. Not too sure how all that barking and base head energy X uses would translate to a battle. X was by far one of the weaker emcees in that Pun, Mos Def, Canibus, Mic Geronimo cipher. :jbhmm:

Young Gotti is 1/4th of the Horsemen with Killah Priest, Canibus, and Ras Kass.... nikkas know

Reading is fundamental... I said it was "speculated" And it was. I wasn't born in the 90's like most of ya'll I actually remember news reporters asking X directly about the shyt. :what:

nikkas in this thread saying DMX had Kurupt's homie killed are the same type of nikkas from back in the 90s that said Redman was in Wu Tang. :russ::russ:

Stop that. You better than that...:upsetfavre:

they believed it cause Redman said it

Earlier this week Redman caused some buzz with his side comment that he was a member of Wu-Tang saying "I am a Wu-Tang member and Method Man, he been a Def Squad member way
before I was a Wu member," adding "I was like a Wu member but I
wasn't official. But [Erick] Sermon made Meth a Def Squad member back in
the day. I became a Wu member about 5 years ago. I am the 11th member
of Wu."

Now Wu-Tang founding member RZA has weighed in on the topic. Recognizing Redman has been cool with Wu-Tang for nearly twenty years, RZA says Redman's the closest unofficial member of the Clan.

"Ah man, we love Redman, he knows that," RZA told SOHH. "Redman has always been with us. You know how many times we had Redman spitting in the studio or sitting in the car smoking? [laughs] Or how about how many times he's been popping up onstage with us because he always wanted to pop up and show love? If you look at his old videos, when Wu wasn't on TV, he was on TV rocking Wu Wear back in the days like that. In Wu-Tang, we call each other brothers because we grew up so many years together. But Redman is definitely like a first cousin." (SOHH)

Nope it's been said in here that DMX had kurupts man murked. If it was even suspected by the 60s that lil draws got hit by someone linked to DMX it would be a no fly zone x 1000.

all i'm saying, just like the redman thing... is you are operating in an era (when this happened) where nikkas knew none of that shyt.. all they knew is what the source said, what was said on albums, and maybe few smart nikkas would read on the internet

nobody back then knew about any big U or the 60s or anything else... they heard kurupt talking, they saw his man get shot up, then a few weeks later, irv made that intro... if i remember correctly, kurupt even had to come out and address if it was retaliation because the magazines was saying that

i tend to not blame people for having the wrong info... as long as it was based on something and not pulled completely out of their ass
