Maaaaaan, What the fuk is Kurupt even talking about on "New York, New YorK"?

[serial]

wait this is true?

nikkas actin like X wanted problems when in reality that was not the case, Kurupt was around some serious dudes from Rollin 60s at the time. Trust me x would not have wanted that shyt to escalate. Thats why he played it down when has X ever known to be quiet about anything??

It died down after Kurupt Bodyguard got killed and h turned into Farrakhan

And DMX was being held down by Dee and Wah. Them nikkas as serious as anyone holding Kurupt down

This is true but as far as pull in Cali dee and wah are not on the same level as Keita Rock or Lil Draws who kurupt was running with at the time.

That track is worse than I remember.


At least on this song he's making sense but its still




...just


New York New York was def carried by the beat. Kurupt did do some damage on "Stranded on Deathrow" though.

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

he was talkin bout the night he served 10,000 MCs

what a night

 

[MidwestD]

One of the most lyrical singles of all time.

 

[hex]

That was the point of the verse. He was mocking NY rappers. It wasn't supposed to make sense.

shyt makes even less sense then because Death Row was cool with Wu-Tang.

Has anyone ever heard some 2pac song remixed over this beat? Might have even been one of those OG/unreleased type verses.
I feel like I have and it sounded nice, but I can't remember

I was just using that track as an example.

lol...sometimes i feel like a history teacher sometimes

the Dogg Pound really took this beat as a jab at Biggie who had just used it for the St. Ides commerical -- back then those st. ides commercials were big ish in hiphop










^^^^^ see this is why Biggie, got on the radio and put the "offer" in the air to go and dump on the dogg pound's video shoot in NYC b/c he KNEW what they were doing with the beat and the message

they were sh!tting on NY and using him on the slick subliminally

 

[King Karim]

i agree when initially recorded.

however when released. it was systematically put out there for a subliminal diss at the time.

I might be wrong...But to me it always sounded like this song had the same sample as the beat for Pac's "All Eyes On Me" and Nas' "Street Dreams"
