DECK is a pure lyrical genius and is known for being the favrioute rapper of people like meth ect not to mention is just as tight as kuruot was in his prime if not more advanced
I met Kurrupt in Downtown Manhattan in like 2005 or something, I approached like the fan boy I am, his kin folk step to me like “ fusk you want? “ and Kurrupt like the man he is… told his dudes “ yo cuz showing luv, back off him “ and proceeded to give me dap and a hug and said “ stay up! “ ain’t much besides my kids good go down in my life, but I Never forgot how he treated me. Love and respect to rupt forever ❤
@@scottpaulson206 I was afraid to approach but he’s one of my favorites and he was in my home town, had to take a chance and it work out. Made me feel like I’m somebody
I can Confirm this, I met kurupt at the airport here in New Zealand whilst I was working. He was chill, down to earth & genuinely willing to have a conversation. He’s a Cool brother! Respect to him 🙌🏾
Deck 's a lyrical magician!! Can put words together better than almost all rappers. Kurupt spitting Deck's verse shows the amount of respect he has for Deck!! Salute Kurupt!!
Big fan of Kurupt since the 90s, but I gotta tell ya, EVERY time I see an interview with him, my respect for this dude goes up. For him to spit lyrics from almost 30 years ago, NAIL THEM, and they're not even his bars!!! Unbelievable. His level of respect for hip-hop is above and beyond.
Yeah but since math hoffa it feels good just having a converstation over making it an interview i mean crooks corner gone shoot through the internet i hope so
Deck and AZ for sure. AZ verse on Lifes a Bitch is still top 3 for me. Master Killah on Chessboxing and then anything Deck does. Tales from The Hood Let me at Em all him rapping
@@danieldiggs9574 agree AZ verse was so smooth, the flow, his wizardry wordplay and sound was 1 verse I still remember from the illmatic album. The beat, the feeling from that track is undiscribable if that's a word!
Love when he said " we MC's can't play a beat around us " he is right kurupt really a real mc with bars and word play , the best lyricist out of Death Row and that Dogg Food album still on rotation even Space Boogie.
@@Vinladen82 maybe you talking about another death row and you were the CEO of it... if you are a fan of crooked i thats your bizness not mine it's not my fault if he did not blew up like snoop , daz , kurupt or nate. For you he is the best out of the world but all the people that i know not even in top 20 in the west coat. Don't get mad its just facts who talk albout him... anyone so go your way nigga. He only got a little bit attention when he was with slaughterhouse thats it not by himself on solo facts.
@@Vinladen82 no one was battling Crooked I for a Death Row Contract. They all went through Kurrupt. Ain't no one got contracts battling Kurrput, he served them all.
@@Whiskey_Tengu thank you bro for speaking some facts to this nigga.... he want to fool us with crooked i was the best out of death row. i heard once snoop said if you wanted a deal back then on death row you have to serve kurupt and that's it.
Thats so tight that they all heard the beat and just went in. Everybody got off on that track and the way it ends with the background vocal is dope. 🔥🔥🔥
@@sith06 you crazy asf. Y’all be listening to mainstream Pac hits and then say he “not lyrical”. Go listen to his gems before death row or songs on Killuminati. He was definitely lyrical
@@ghostface3652 Is that like with most Rappers??? Biggie most lyrical songs were not the radio hits.. Most Rappers lyrically songs don't get airplay because let's keep it real most people listen to the radio wanting to hear some jams, some party music, some feel good music which 2Pac and Biggie has done including Wu Tang and The Dogg Pound too..
It was a West coast producer emulating an East coast beat. Like "Going back 2 Cali" from Biggie is the other way around. Both sound incredible. They nailed the soul of each other's sound.
Yea that shit was fucked up! I mean if he still had the verses written it wasn’t nothing to record them again. But RZA at that time was evolving and couldn’t go back to the days of dusty beats I guess…I’ve lost rhymebooks before and that shit hurt me so much I feel some of my best shit was lost cause of that.
I sometimes wonder whether Kurupt is human. All that (well documented) substance abuse and he still has the memory of an elephant for things that happened almost 30 years ago. Most people’s brains would be completely fried by much less.
I love Kurupt's interviews, he'll always count all the details, you can feel he loved all he witnessed. To be around such great rappers, that must have been amazing.
He done told this story before but not from beginning to end like he just told. Really filled in some blanks for me, I appreciate this interview foreal
@@BruceDragon-sf1trou cant comprehend well do you? He never said he was on Pacs level. Kurupt is a way better lyricist than Pac though. That's undisputed.
Maaaan. Pac! If he woulda let that ride, and had a wu tang member, that wasn't the most popular wu member, close out his track on all eyes on me acapella with the killa verse??!! That woulda been BIG respect and a bridge to further collabs. That right there woulda made deck an allstar
That song is an immediate classic just from the EPIC lyricism! Knowing that Deck and Rage had verses kills me slightly, because MAAAAAAAN! That would've been CRAZY!
Especially Redman. He doesn't get brought up in the conversation nearly as much as he should. I was just listening to muddy waters and doc's da name maybe 2 weeks ago on a road trip
You just old.. You are feeling Nostalgic cause that's what you grew up with.. Nothing wrong with that cause my mother hated the music I grew up with saying how bad it was (late 1990s early 2000s) while she says the real good music was from the 70s and 80s.. Just the same cycle of feelings which our kids will have too..
This was my favorite joint off that album. When I heard Deck voice at the end I was so excited and then it just stopped and I was like why would they tease us like that!
I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies and hypotheses Can't define how I be dropping these mockeries Lyrically perform armed robbery Flee with the lottery, possibly they spotted me Battle-scarred Shogun, explosion when my pen hits tremendous Ultraviolet shine blind forensics I inspect you through the future see millennium Killa Beez sold fifty gold, sixty platinum Shackling the masses with drastic rap tactics Graphic displays melt the steel like blacksmiths Black Wu jackets, Queen Beez ease the guns in Rumble with patrolmen, tear gas laced the function Heads by the score take flight, incite a war Chicks hit the floor, diehard fans demand more Behold the bold soldier, control the globe slowly Proceeds to blow, swinging swords like Shinobi Stomp grounds and pound footprints in solid rock Wu got it locked, performing live on your hottest bloc
Glad this was cleared up cause years ago I heard about this and whoever's video it was tried to make it seem like Pac took Deck off like there was some kind of problem with him.
I don’t see how this was “cleared up” for almost everyone. PAC was intimidated by Decks verse and had it cut. For Daz to just use the background was to save face ever so slightly. How pac hop on a song that already had deck on it and has the power to remove him? Why cause it was PAC? See this doesn’t fly with me. Not that my opinion matters and it’s been 25 years but just for closure for Deck and the respect I have for the Wu, Daz should put the song out again and add Decks verse on it. If Deck still feels a way about it, he should be honored properly or received some royalties.
On Yukmouth's Thugged Out album, there is a skit before" Do your Thug Thang" with Tupac where he gives a shot out to artists he likes including Wu-Tang. He was talking about doing a compililation featuring pac and those artists.
and on the very end of the Masta Killa track School, off his album No Said Date, there is a Pac skit from the Sway Int where Pac str8 up says "he loves Wu-Tang"
Dope ass story, sick how a legendary record came about with the East Coast homies coming through the west, kurupt pulling up cruising through LA to pull up on Daz 💪🏼
thanks 2 Kurupt for the precision and clarification. because everytime Daz tells that story he says 2pac didn't want inspecta deck on it. it's Daz who always perpetrats that version.
@@L1am21 crooked I and kurupt would be the finest duo. I remember a looong time ago cooked I said at the end of a song Kurupt young gotti holla at ya boy homeboy. but I think Snoop wouldn't like it so he never called crooked I
He got too many to call one one of the most lyrical... If my homies call, hellrazor, thug style, peep game, hold ya head, etc.. Pac was just lyrical, whether people liked his flow or not...💯💯💯
@@henrybiggs3113 Me Against The World, Heartz of Men and plenty more. Also Pac's flow was underrated, like on Road To Glory the song he did for Tyson in early 1996 for the Bruno fight. Eminem spoke about Tupac's timing and how clever it was
There are different types of statements we can make. We can have truths and opinions.... Actually just wait until maybe the fourth grade to learn about it.
@@erichawkins7305 Was that comment directed towards me or was that the lyrics or something? 😆 Are you telling me that Kurupt said in this video that Pac hated on him because he thought Deck had a better Vrs? Because I heard him just say that he didn't like that he went acapella so he scrapped it? Not sure where you were getting at
