Good SOLO debut - 2 discs one for each coast??
All in all it is a pretty good album but not as good as I expected. Kurupt's long awaited debut is a double disc, a west coast cd and an east coast cd, although the sound is not much different between the two. Out of the 23 songs there are 3 I never listen to and 3 or 4 more that are ok, the rest are quality, which leads to the fact that this could have been a 16 or 17 song classic. . . Production is handled by a large number of people and is pretty good. D-Moet does 4, Battlecat, DeVante, Daz Dillinger, Storm all do 2, and Dr. Dre, Kurupt, Soopafly, RJ Rice, Easy Mo Bee, Studio Tone, Twin, Warren G, MED all do 1, and 2 producers aren't listed. He has 7 solo songs out of the 23. A little below his "Space Boogie" and a little more below his classic "Streetz Iz a Mutha" but still a good 4 star album to have in your collection.

MAKE SOME NOISE
"THIS ONE'S FOR YOU"-I LOVE THIS SONG, IT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS EVER MADE. KURUPT'S FIRST SOLO ALBUM, HERE WE GO

1. THE BEAT IS A CLASSIC BEAT FROM STUDIO TONE.

2,"MAKE SOME NOISE"-THIS IS A CLASSIC SONG, SOOPAFLY MADE A GREAT BUMPIN BEAT. KURUPT RIPS THE TRACK UP WITH ADLIBS FROM DAZ DILLINGER. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SINGLE.

3. "PUT THAT ON SOMETHING"-THIS SONG IS OK, NOT ONE OF HIS BEST.

4. "PLAY MY CARDS"-I ACTUALLY LIKE THIS SONG, THE BEAT FROM BATTLECAT IS STRAIGHT ON THIS SONG.

5. "WE CAN FREAK IT"-MY FAVORITE SONG EVER FROM KURUPT, BABY S DOES A GOOD JOB ON THIS TRACK, AND BATTLECAT DOES THE BEST BEAT FROM HIM. THIS AND WILL ALLWAYS BE A CLASSIC, IT WAS A GREAT SINGLE.

6. "FRESH"-THIS A GANGSTA BEAT FROM DAZ, ALSO THE LYRICS ARE HOT. THE SONG SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS ORIGANALLY RECORDED FOR DEATHROW.

7. "C WALK"-DAZ DROPS ANOTHER DOPE BEAT, AND SLIP CAPONE AND TRAY DEE RIP THE BEAT UP.

8. "HO'S A HOUSEWIFE"-KURUPT DROPS THE BEAT FOR THIS ORIGANAL VERSION OF THIS SONG.

9. "CAN'T LET THAT SLIDE"-THIS IS A NICE DISS SONG, I CAN'T SAY WHO EXACTALLY BUT I THINK I KNOW. YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED WHO IT IS.

10. "THAT'S GANGSTA"THIS WOULD HAVE MADE A LOVELLY SINGLE FOR THIS ALBUM, WARREN G DROPS A NICE CLASSIC BEAT. YOU WILL LOVE THIS SONG.

11. "SURVIVE ANOTHER DAY"-THIS ANOTHER GREAT TRACK FROM KURUPT.

12. "ASK YOURSELF A QUESTION"-THIS HAS A THUMPIN BEAT FROM DR. DRE, AND HE ALSO LAYS DOWN A VERSE. THIS WAS A NICE SINGLE, BUT I ONLY SAW IT ONCE.

DISC. 2

1. "IT'S A SET UP"-THIS IS A CLASSIC FROM KURUPT, I LOVE THIS SONG.

2. "LIGHT SH#T UP"-I REALLY DON'T FEEL THIS ONE AS MUCH.

3. "GAME"-THIS IS A GREAT SONG, I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH.

4. "GIMMEWHUTCHAGOT"-THIS IS A PRETTY GOOD SONG, NOT THE BEST THOUGH.

5. "IF YOU SEE ME"-I DON'T REALLY LIKE THIS ONE AS MUCH.

6. "THE LIFE"-ONCE AGAIN, DON'T LIKE IT AS MUCH, HE DOSN'T FIT AS WELL ON THE EAST COAST SIDE.

7. "NO FEELINGS"-THIS IS A GOOD SONG, FINALLY THEY COME THROUGH WITH SOMETHING I WILL LISTEN TO.

8. "IT'S TIME"-THIS ALSO A GOOD TRACK ON HERE, IT IS A GOOD SONG TO PLAY IN YA RIDE.

9. "I WANNA"-ONE OF THE BEST SONGS TO HAVE A GOOD SYSTEM FOR, BELIEVE ME.

10. "WHO DO YOU BE"-I THINK THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SINGLE, MAYBE IT COULD HAVE BEEN A VIDEO SEQUAL TO "WE CAN FREAK IT".

11. "FREAK IT"-THE FINAL TRACK OF THE CD FEATURES N. O. R. E. ON IT. IT IS THE REMIX OF "WE CAN FREAK IT", IT IS A REALLY GOOD SONG, I PLAY IT ALL THE TIME.

I'AM OUT, 1.

Kuruption ain't a bad thing!
From the time I heard him on Stranded on Death Row I fell for his skill. Kurupt is one of the best rappers out there. He can come on strong at times, but he can also be really smooth. I don't see the fact that this album is not as popular as say The Chronic 2001 as a bad thing. . . . . cuz then when you hear someone bumpin this you'll know there goes someone who really knows rap. He knows how to mix East and West and make it bump! I think that the people who say Kurupt ain't no good don't know rap. He's one of the best in the West. . . he puts his heart into his rhymes and I give this album its well deserved 5 stars.

Kuruption!
A little disappointed due to lack of 'west coast' beats. Kurupt's debut record as a solo recording artist, not a shabby beginning. But such songs as 'Ho's A Housewife', 'We Can Freak It' (and the remix), 'C-Walk', and 'Gimmewhutchagot' make up for it. This album features rappers such as Snoop Doggy Dogg, Daz Dillinger, Soopafly, Tray Deee, Warren G, and various others. Good CD, i'd definietly recommend it. Great Dogg Pound Product, just like all others! DPG!.

Kuruption!
I like this cd alot, mostly the West Coast side which has the biggest hits like "We Can Freak It" "Fresh" "C-Walk" "Put That On Something" "Can't Let That Slide" "This One's For U" "That's Gangsta" and "Make Some Noize" it is just mint. Kurupt has got to be one of my favorite rappers ever, from his start on The Chronic, to his appearances on Doggystyle all the way to the Dogg Food album, he has never dissapointed once. The East Coast side is where i start to have problems, where the songs mostly just are kinda average, to the point of bad. Kuruption seems like Kurupt is a little out of his element, cause you don't see Daz rapping once with him, he has a lot of no-name guests from Antra, and a couple others like Tray-Dee, Buckshot, Slip Capone, Noreaga, Dr. Dre & Baby S. He made a strong comeback on Tha Streetz Iz A Mutha, so a little experimentation isn't really that bad. Go Get This.
