Production [ edit ]
Kurupt was the executive producer of the album. It features guest appearances from numerous rappers from both the East Coast and West Coast , including Daz Dillinger , Noreaga , Tray Deee , Roscoe , and Dr. Dre . Disc one is labeled as "West Coast" and disc two is labeled as "East Coast".
Critical reception [ edit ]
The Indianapolis Star noted that "the 'West Coast' disc is airy, sometimes sunny, with crews riding through California streets in search of women and cash."[4] Rolling Stone concluded that "Kurupt's urgent flow, derived from his idol Rakim, unifies the two discs, but Kuruption , like virtually all two-CD sets, could easily have been pared down to one."[9]
Commercial performance [ edit ]
It peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 on October 24, 1998, [10] and sold 82,000 copies in its first week.[11]
