@@tjeym8897 You crazy man, I seen him play with Daz and Battlecat almost a decade ago, and he smashed it. Absolute flow master. Everyone who loves hip hop should go see them perform. Wayyyy better live than any recording!
*This concept is fire. Kurupt torched the mic as he always does. Pay homage to Hip Hop heroes by bringing their pieces back, while incorporating your own artistry.*
Absolutely and this is how you know the stars are aligning because Rakim's brand new single "Be Ill" is feat Masta Killa & non other than Kurupt himself
@@germaniatv1870 went way over your head. youre right tho there is only one almighty most high ALLAH. but remeber thats just a word and words have meanings, dig?
I said this somewhere but Kurupt and Daz are the West Coast Eric B and Rakim. Both are on their own wavelengths and have amazing music. I'm glad we get to enjoy all of their music at any given moment.
@@perspectiveoutlook1540 I get it though, yeah this sounds like the 80's, but hearing these tunes takes many people back to the 90's, where this became HUGE and of course, also the late 80's stuff was still pretty new back then. to be fair, some discover Rakim TODAY lol
Kurupt always been one of my favorite MC's... I met him (and Dr Dre) in a restaurant once when he was back in Philly running his Antra imprint. This song is what I thought "I Don't Like To Dream...." would be off the Dogg Food album. Paying homage to the one that inspired him. Classic
My Niggas!!! Daz & Kurupt. Da Pound held us down on this side from like 93/94 to like 95/96. I Loved that West Coast run like 88 to 96. We was Mad we was lovin it. 😆😆😆

@@mikerizzyrawDaz can flow. He ain't a Rakim or Ras Kass or Kurupt but he is one of the dopest rappers/producer you will hear that's out. He a great producer just like D.J. Quik who is also a rapper/producer.

I’ll say it again.
Hip Hop never died…the radio did
Please! Say it again! Show these young ones where it comes from.
Yep. Been saying for a while the music didn't necessarily get worse, they just used to play Kane, NWA, Slick Rick etc on the radio back in the day.
@@igg3937 I agree. So much has changed.

@CDB51416 man I really like Saigon’s music! 💯 I hope Nas would do it for some of his songs on illmatic ie Life’s A B and Memory Lane
Him and Daz have an arsenal of records and beats stacked still!
It's crazy tht most of these dudes are 50 y.o + and still rockin' hard ...
Hip hop don’t stop !!!!

Kurupt Young Gotti at it again!
Kurupt is west top 5. He’s from Philadelphia PA.
He was at one point.. but he drastically fell off
..this was a glimpse of the past .. I would say he top 12 lyrically from.the west
He's not from Philly but the suburbs, Darby Twp. in Sharon Hill to be exact.
🤘🏻
@@mole2026 Facts. But Sharon hill is basically 5min from Philly. He was always in West Philly with his cousins before he moved to Cali with his Dad.
If Kurupt is top 5 in the west… that means the west sucks. He ain’t top 5 in the west.. I still like him tho
Easily one of the HARDEST beats in hip hop 🔥
One word...Rakim
