[MENTION=14722]blackonboth[/MENTION] You fuck with Kurupt iirc, willing to bet you've never heard this diss track toward N.Y., it was never offically released. A lot of people never heard of this unless you know about or have OG tracks yourself.
[MENTION=5091]DieSlow[/MENTION] Check this too when you can, if you never heard it before.

Re: Under-Appreciated Dope and Slept on Hip Hop Songs
Never heard that one...
Still stand by Kurupt being 1 of the biggest disappointments in hip hop history (thread coming 1 day...eventually).
He could've/should've easily dropped the West Coast equivalent of Illmatic back in the mid 90's with any producer on the West and East willing to give him pure Heat.
But he wanted to be a gangster like the rest of them Death Row niggas when he was clearly a top tier lyricist.

Kurupt was going to put out a classic

At 1 point (prob 94-95) he was arguably the best rapper alive on the West Coast (off of only guest appearances on Chronic and Doggy Style) cuz Ras Kass was still too weird/underground with Western Hemisphear and Ice Cube was past Death Certificate/Predator Godliness and was transitioning into smooth jam Don Mega.
Only comp to Kurupts thrown was Tash from the Liks who was spittin fire punches on every song.
Del who had just dropped his GOAT album No Need for Alarm.
And Saafir...who I loved but was too weird for most.
It was almost like he was suppressing his skills....wouldnt be surprised if his crew got on him for sounding like "dem East Coast Niggas" too much. SMFH.
I wish DJ Quik would leak that album he has with Pac.
I would say he did based on it's production style. iirc this is a Dogg Pound track not a track for Pac, Pac is just a feature on here. so that confirms it in my mind.
I believe this track was Dogg Pound's response to their trailer getting shot up in NY.
A Quik & Pac album exists ?
I only know of that some random DJ blending of Pac vocals over Quik instrumentals on datpiff .
You sure you aint confusing it with Daz, Daz is sitting on a certain amount of Pac tracks that hasn't leaked "supposedly".
He stoled how ever many reels or dats from Death Row. And he got sued for that Pac & Daz "Don't Go 2 Sleep EP" by Afeni. Daz stated some outlandish number of Pac tracks he still has that the world never heard/leaked. Think he said some bs like 60 some more, I don't believe that. Or should i say i don't believe he still has some 60 tracks that nobody else aside form him has heard that never leaked, thats still in his possession.

Re: Under-Appreciated Dope and Slept on Hip Hop Songs
I'm still mad that LikNuts album never panned out.
@blackonboth
I definitely think kurupt was influenced by the wrong people telling him that.
I'll throw another name out from a rapper that could have owned the underground but decided to just do dumb shit musically. La The Darkman.
@Justice
I could have sworn it was Quik. I'm looking at some interviews to see if I run across it. It may have been Daz tho. I remember one of them saying that they'd never release it to make a profit of Pac.
