I remember when I copped this I was hoping for Dogg Food type Kurupt lyricism.

First beat drops and I'm like "aight kurupt bout to murder this dope beat"

And then....

"I'm like, fukk a bytch and fukk you to, what a punk muthafukka like you gon do"

:stopitslime:

The production made that albim listenable.

Kuruption was flawless .. shoulda been jus one disc tho

the west coast disc of Kuruption is on the level of Streetz imo

I fukked with the East Coast disc minus a few tracks....only thing that dissapointed me is he didnt get a Primo or Pete Rock beat to rhyme over but he was spitting on tracks like Its A Set Up and Game

that was your fault.

This album was post "you more of a bytch than a bytch," he hadn't spit like that in a minute.


top shelf songs, production, and features. Except for the Jon B tracc :trash:







Fred Durst rapping was even tolerable :merchant: cuz the song itself is so smooth :ohlawd:


depending what day it is, i slightly prefer this to Streetz iz A...:sitdown:

Surprised at all the hate for this. Maybe nostalgia as this was one of the first albums I ever bought with my own money at 13 years old. But I’m a DPG Stan.


Production is insane. I know kurupt wasnt lyrically as good as previous releases but his rhyming and voice I thought made up for it

Great guest spots
