Kurupt – “I Don’t Bang No More” (Unreleased)(GQ)

This is the definition of a Death Row lost gem. Kurupt is surprisingly more compelling than usual and his delivery is much more cohesive to the beat than in many of his later songs. Perhaps it’s the beat, which is excellent. There is speculation suggesting that this is a Dr. Dre and Sam Sneed beat, but there is other speculation that it’s a Dr. Dre and Warren G beat, which is a rare but also a great collaboration. Dre gave many Row Inmates a few of his beats to do with them what they wished. This is one of them and yet again it’s only two verses like many other unreleased and incomplete tracks. It features Jewell and Dr. Dre, but don’t get your hopes up, Dre doesn’t put down a verse. He does what he often does and offers some background vocals towards the end.
