Yeah that joints a Banger, yeah thats just Kurupt playing with the many variations of his nicknames for himself Neo Young Gotti Stallone "Neostra, Gottstra" 2001-2004 he did a lot of that he's got a bunch of tracks where he does that especially on the 2 versions of the Against The Grain album "Young Gottstra Neo Hoffa Stallone" matter of fact I think he started doing it even earlier maybe the first time was on "I Call Shots" where at the beginning hes like "Young Gottsra young Frank Sinatra"

lol when I saw your initial post I had a hunch it might be related to Kurupts version of the "izzles", the "ottstras"

Man, you don't even know. His verses were the ones I waited for on The Chronic and Doggy Style, I knew them shyts backwards.

I legit thought he was the best emcee in the game at that time.

 

[Rivoli]

From Chronic to Doggystyle to Dogg Food Album, he was on another planet... he was still dope on his solo albums but he was invincible as a battle rapper during that period and was top 5 in the game IMO

Kurupt destroys all competitors, my favorite BARbarian of all time

"Introduction to death/murder MC's til ain't shyt left
in the sector/why must MC's flip/ like gymnastcis
just to get they whole ass whipped/claim to be classic
but you don't set no classic examples
with ya fukked up beats and ya fukked up samples
ya last verbal war/you wont survive no more
I turnt the channels/cause nikkas you aint Live no more
I used to follow/but now you a legend like sleepy hollow
I shoot to kill/a horse pill you can't swallow
theres no tomorrow/nikka it all ends
ive been down with KRS since Boogie Down began
thats my man/now whats this I hear?
I was told to beware im the inspired
dissed by a nikka I admired
hell naw, this can't be
now who the fucc is this I hear on the radio dissin me
B-I-double G-I to the E
shyts scorchin/doin a video for a song that got blew out of preportion
I found he's the deadliest force in a world where its all about glamor, fame and fortune
nikka we Mobb Deep
so fucc you, Jeru and any Tribe who Quest's to compete
we the elite/the psycho assassin is blastin
and next time you hit LA nikka we mashin"

indeed

And he did this in Prodigy's style. Love this verse.

 

[JMD]

he was consistently inconsistent

for example

first track he classic Kurupt and then 2nd track he also classic Kurupt

 

[LevelUp]

Agreed

 

[doggy]

Kurupt is Snoops Ace. Still is to this day but Prime Kurupt was something else. Top tier goat level rapper. Absolute monster. The west coasts Rakim
