Kurupt Reacts to Rare Tupac Footage, Explain “New York, New York” & Reveal Death Row Stories

Daz and Kurupt stopped by HOT 97 to talk to Nessa about their legendary careers, the legacy of Tha Dogg Pound and whether fans will ever get a follow-up to Dogg Food. They look back at their time with Tupac, including his plans to unite East and West Coast artists with One Nation, the story behind Pac giving Kurupt the name “Young Gotti,” and Daz producing some of Pac’s biggest records. They also revisit the real story behind “New York, New York,” why they believed the song was actually showing love to New York, and what happened after the video shoot changed direction.

Kurupt opens up about his sobriety, surviving a coma and Eminem helping pay for his first trip to rehab, while Daz shares what it was like watching his friend fight through it. They also reveal the surprising truth behind Kurupt’s famous voicemail on Jhené Aiko’s “Never Call Me,” share memories of Nate Dogg and Death Row, discuss Daz’s relationship with Snoop Dogg today, and reflect on the legacy they want to leave behind. Kurupt also talks about working with his idol Rakim and Masta Killa on The Godbody, featuring Snoop Dogg, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, KRS-One, Kool G Rap and more. The Godbody by Rakim, Kurupt and Masta Killa is out now.
