:dwillhuh:

But he said "fukk The Firm" which Nas was the head of

He wasn't talking to Nature


He said “fukk the firm” because Foxy was in the Firm.

He did have a little smoke with Nas because Nas went in XXL Magazine and said that Foxy should be with a NY dude. There was still tension between East & West Coast just two years after the Biggie/Pac fiasco. He felt like all the top rappers of New York were picking on him but his REAL issue was with X. Thats why he never really said Nas name.

Ain't y'all the same ones who be saying "he didn't have to say they name - that subliminal dissing. We all knew he was talking about" when Mobb Deep and them niccas stay not saying names? But Kurupt does it and it's different?

Bottom line, these are facts:

- Kurupt dissed Nas on two consecutive albums and Nas never said anything back.
- After that, Jay threw a stray at Nas, and Nas got a reply the next day.
- Then Nas next album he dissing damn near everybody he knows, but no words for Kurupt.

When you gotta song called "Callin' Names" & you naming all types of dudes in the song but don't say the name of one of the main nikkas you got issues with then yes there's a possibility he was shook lol

Kurupt wasn't talking about Nas, when he specifically called out 2 projects Nas was involved in.

:stopitslime:

Y'all not giving Kurupt any credit as a writer...

:stopitslime:


They were also two projects that DMX, who he WAS talking about and Foxy, who he DAMN sure was talking about were a part of.


Kurupt was on his “Against All Odds” shyt. If he REALLY wanted to go at Nas then he woulda called his name out on a song called CALLIN OUT NAMES.


This is not to say Kurupt was lyrically “afraid” of Nas but his anger was geared towards the nikka who fukked his girl and said girl who embarrassed him and broke his heart. Nas didn’t have anything to do with that aside from the XXL comments.

Kurupt was still a problem on Streetz :ufdup:

Check Trilogy for receipts.

After Streetz Kurupt went off of a cliff.

Still a problem sure, but lyrically it was LONG after his peak...he just hadn't fully fallen off yet

Streetz is a west coast classic because of the project itself...dope beats, dope vibe, great guest appearance and kurupt was solid.

Streetz was not a classic because of kyrupts lyricism. That was already dying.

Peep how he got washed on Step Up...

Even Space Boogie was a dope ass record ..and Kurupt had fallen even more off by then..
But Fred Wreck saved the day with his great production

The last time we heard prime Kurupt CONSISTENTLY was the first DaZ solo

Look. The song is called “Callin Out Names”. How the fukk u make a song called “Callin Out Names” without calling names out? I honestly believe it’s a reach when people say he dissed Nas for the simple fact he DIDNT say Nas’ name. I’m trying to give Kurupt more credit than that. But if he DID diss Nas. It doesn’t make Nas look scared. It makes HIM look scared to call his name out. And Nas didn’t respond right back to Jay. Ur buggin out.
