I was 12 years old when i made my mother brought me 8ball's lost triple disc album. Never stopped playing it for years. As i got older certain things in the hood start to happen with crime, murder, drugs, etc. I used to felt like i thank 8 so much for giving me so much game as a 33 year old man and keeping me alive all this time. Damn man...why am i crying?
Man, you had some bitter old heads back in the day. What they shouldve understood was that everythang comes full circle. Im actually happy the music of the 60s 70s and 80s were sampled because another thing that these old heads dont know is that youngsters like me who were coming up were getting old schooled at the same time we were bobbin our head to the lyrics. Had it not been for DJ Quik, I would have never known years later who artists like Donald Byrd & the Blackbyrds were. Its because of DJ Quik that I have been able to open up my musical taste to Jazz Fusion, Latin Soul and Funk music, and even classic Jazz. Quik and Battlecat are true crate diggers and for that I have nothing but thanks and respect for people who sample. It gave me a real education about these other genres I was not exposed to as a child.
EXACTLY. And in turn the old school birthed the West Coast sound. Groups like Parliament Funkadelic, ZAPP, Slave, Brass Construction, One Way, Con Funk Shun, Loose Ends Boosty's Rubberband, Kleeer, Kool And The Gang and so many others that I could name. Its because of these producers that I even know who these groups are. All of them are way before my time. My pops has hella crates in the garrage. He told me about the time he bought his first Parliament record when he was in high school.
Everybody on here just commenting on Kurupt when Eightball recorded arguably the best double rap album EVER! Let alone all the timeless music he released wit MJG! Show ball some respect!
playaflyJOE27 I got much respect for 8 Ball. His solo album was dope. 1998 was a great year for Hip Hop. I remember seeing both of them on the front cover of the Source.
Hip Hop samples made me wanna listen to the og songs that I wouldve never found out like Ohio Players, Eddie Hazel, George Clinton between others. For me sampling keeps alive a lot of old joints in some way or form.
98 was incredible. If you're a lyric junkie like me, you should look up the albums that were dropped that year. Your mind is gonna be blown. The mixtapes were dope too. You could argue that 98 was the best year for Hip-Hop in the 90s. I'll give you a few albums to check out: Kuruption by Kurupt, 40 Dayz & 40 Nightz by Xzibit, Book of Human Language by Defari, Rasassination by Ras Kass, Third Eye Vision by Hieroglyphics, It's Dark & Hell Is Hot by DMX, Flesh of My Flesh Blood of My Blood by DMX, Capital Punishment by Big Punisher, Money Power & Respect by the L.O.X., Roots of Evil by Kool G Rap, K-Rino by K-Rino, Look What You Did to Me by Z-Ro, My Homies by Scarface, The Professional by DJ Clue.
Sample still even in the era of Trap Drill or whatever it’s still going on in our era. Samples have given life to artist who I would have never known. Artist that career have died a long time ago. Hip Hop saved many of you.
@SVENGALI Kurupt left Death Row like 1997 or so. If you listen to the interview he mentioned that Suge released him from Death Row. He came back to Death Row like 2003 or so. Kurupt's first solo album was on ANTRA Records. That album "Kuruption" came out like 1998 or so.
Sampling will never die....thats because of the break beat & turntablist DJs need Breaks and samples create hip hop. Plus Sampling is supposed to compliment the original arts work..for example, take a Kashief record and manipulate the sample to match the drums, add a nice bass and clean up the keys you have a good sample track. Plus nowadays chopping samples is popular. For those who not familiar of Choppin' samples is when you take your favorite part of the sample and chop it in small peices and repeat it......sometimes it could be a voice chop then speed it up and it may come out like " Through The Wire " by Kanye or " Music " by Erick Sermon. As long as the artist getting the clearance and breaking off doe to the original artist then you create great hip hop. I been in this producing game for 20 years and i do make original beats but i also sample only if i can make the song better and get the clearance. So when i hear O.G s talking about sampling isnt creating real music thats not necessarily true. It is.....you got to have a knack for sound and how again to manipulate samples to work with the drums the bass and whatever else.
Damn I was 24 in the Army back then. That's all you heard coming out our room In the barracks. Ball and G. It just so happened that most of the niggas in my unit was from the south. B'ham, Georgia, SC. So in the years before we rode with the West and South during that East/West shit. Lol. I know Kurupt originally from Philly. That Dogg food came out in 94 when I was in AIT.
It’s a damn shame how someone is so quick to judge without researching and checking themselves as far as what that particular someone does. Kurupt checked Smiley and his caller.
Ain't nothing original about Kurtis blow & the rest of the old school rappers. The whole 1980's hiphop generation did nothing but sample from the the first song to the last. I'm just saying. We appreciate the songs they sampled. Who wouldn't dance at the concert after hearing a Gap Band sample or a George Clinton sample or Zapp & Roger sample. Its something that never hurt the fans. But the music industry has gotten so strict now on sampling. But see the music labels back then had the money to pay for samples. Now days people are creating their own beats now to keep from being sued...
@@deuceone7272 bruh what u said makes no sense...what were the turntables used for then?? So turntables make original beats?? No....they used RECORDS...SAMPLES...come on man
@@kossgreen88 no, you're jumping straight to conclusions. the turntables were for cutting and scratching. Schoolly d made the beats (with no samples) while the DJ was mixing LIVE on the turntables. Yes it was like sampling but not for the beat. The most "sampling" you'd get was like a voice or short phrase like I.e. "I love rock n roll". As opposed to a generic James Brown drumroll over 2 bars of kc and the sunshine band. I suggest you go listen to it tho and hear it straight, before you open your mouth.
@@deuceone7272 yeah you got a point bro...it was different, they didn't actually "sample" breaks or actually make a song out of a 5 or 10 second sample. I get what you're saying
People got to understand pac and biggie ruled the damn whole decade from 92-97 also ice cube from 90-95 and nas from 94-98 so where any body could of got in at snoop was revelnt also 1992-1998 and jay z came in 96-98 no room for no one else
Kurupt left Death Row after Dr. Dre, D.O.C. , RBX left and Tupac was murdered and Suge being in jail. I believe Snoop left after Kurupt left Death Row.
Lee Feltham I never said RBX was murdered. DOC and RBX left first and then Dr. Dre left, then Tupac was murdered,and Suge went to jail, then Snoop left. Actually Kurupt left Death Row before Snoop left but eventually came back to The Row Records like 2003 or so.
Yeah Snoop was locked into a 3 or 4 album deal, so Suge still got money off his No Limit albums. Kurupt's contract wasn't as ironclad so he walked in 97.
No it wasn't from 97 to 2000. Was the weakest era for rap no body really to control but master p that's not good for hip hop cuz master p aint no real mc he's tight but no Nas 97 98 99 was so wack it allowed white boy rap to come in with Eminem and materialistic rap with bad boy and Puff Daddy and Mase
Kurupt in his prime
He was a poet
I was 12 years old when i made my mother brought me 8ball's lost triple disc album. Never stopped playing it for years.

Damn man...why am i crying?
Do you remember "Friend or Foe" from Eightball and MJG? I cry every time, also the Dogg Pound's "Reality"
1998 WAS A GREAT YEAR FOR HIP HOP
My Favorite Year In Rap...... PERIOD.....Much Props!
Chronic 2001
Damon Russell it really was. Almost everyone who dropped an album dropped a classic.
NORE was the best album of 98. No doubt.
@ was also the saddest year after Pacs death
My Dude KURUPTION! and The Partner 8-Ball.
KURUPT IS VERY GOOD @ ARTICULATING HIS WORDS

8 Ball is the GOAT!
Out the south period
MJG greatest ever!
Kurupt was so well-spoken back then. Drugs really messed my guy up

I guess you didn't hear that phone conversation with Eazy or callin out names. He just know how to conduct himself on certain platforms
Liquor messed him up
why everyone saying he on drugs ??
@@MarknoblesAcidhouseparty I dunno but he did good in his breakfast club interview a couple of weeks ago. Still young Gotti

James Brown is the most Sampled Artist in Hip-hop and R&B. Along with Al Green and Curtis Mayfield and Jerry Butler and Isaac Hayes.

No limit and cash money??? Hello?
I spent a sick amount of money on CD's in 98
1991 was the best year in hip hop. So many classic iconic albums dropped that year back to back to back, look it up.
Kurupt sickest lyrics was on "Doggz Day Afternoon" and "The Trilogy" hands down
NawfsideHtown nah ...newyork/newyork

If Dexter from Arkansas felt there was no originality in hip hop 20 years ago i wonder what he feels about todays hip hop LOL
Dexter gave up on rap in 2003

Ya kno whatimean 😂 probably the most used word from Rap Artist
Or you know what I'm saying lol
Bro your channel is 💎
Great conversation caller was so wrong many east coast artists sampled in the 80’s early 90’s loved Kurupts answer
I guess the caller didn't realize that Kurtis Blow and Run DMC used samples too.
This when bet had shows with education, music, integrity, soul ect. Then they sold it and now it's pure 🗑️🗑️
I disagree with the caller Kurupt was on point!
they both had double cds like pac 💯
I like that texas hat
KUrupt DiIRtY OGZ
Kurupt has that street educated vibes
Damn 20yrs ago I was 13
Kuruption underrated
please tell me someone can link me to the entire interview.........I need to see this in its entirety.
The caller had a point about the sampling. kurupt was rambling a bit and not really addressing the question with his educated voice lol

like this was a pretty good interview
I agree somewhat with the caller
Can you upload the full interview ?

It’s a damn shame how someone is so quick to judge without researching and checking themselves as far as what that particular someone does. Kurupt checked Smiley and his caller.
Kurrupt had a record label called Antrax Records that was approved by the SEC and went public. I believe Empire stole his story.
