Is the Kurupt falloff one of the greatest in the history of hip hop?
Ya know I was always a big fan of Kurupt but in all the time listening to them I never saw him as some extra lyrical rapper like they tried to say he was wayy back then. DPG were just entertaining and had some great highs during the Deathrow days, and they both released some great solo albums. And in all those albums I never see where Kurupt fell off. I mean even in 99 on Dre 2001he had the best verse on Xxplosive and he was just cussin'. He been kinda rapping like that for a while now. I just chalk it up to it being his style. Now when ice cube turned into the "Don Mega" he got trapped and never found his way back . Now his voice is shot to hell and he was the weak link on the Mt. Westmoreland album with Snoop E-40, and Too-Short and him. Who would've ever thought that could happen, Cube getting outshined by Snoop and E-40!!!!. Although E-40 is a GOAT in my eyes he is on my personal top 10 list.

These dudes beef, break up and make up every so often so it looks like it’s all love once again.

Beat feels a bit unfinished and needs some keys on it. Find Quik or Battlecat so they can do it some justice.

And it’s wild that I kinda don’t wanna hear the Kurupt verse because he has been simply atrocious for a loooooooong time. Xxplosive might have been the last great thing we got out of him — as blatantly bold as that verse was.
