Posted by pitmroc on July 2, 2009
It’s been a good 13 years since the West Coast dominated hip-hop, and almost that long since it was even deemed relevant. As the Pacific eagerly awaits the rise of its young stars such as Blu and Nipsey Hussle to return it to the glory days, it also relies on its veterans to contribute to the effort. Younger hip-hop fans may not even have been alive when DJ Quik and Kurupt came on to the scene repping Los Angeles and reaping the rewards of the West Coast’s reign. While running in the same circles for the majority of each of their respective careers, Kurupt and DJ Quik haven’t collaborated as much as you’d think. Now in the later years of their careers, both artists have undergone a maturing of their sounds. DJ Quik is enjoying a rejuvenation of sorts with QDT partners Snoop Dogg and Teddy Riley, finding a party sound that set the tone for Snoop Dogg’s Ego Trippin’. Kurupt has reached back to his East Coast roots, working with New York legends Pete Rock and DJ Premier. Now united for Blaqkout, two of the West Coast’s elder statesmen offer an album that doesn’t try to take it back to 1995, unlike many other artists who come from the same time period. Rather, Blaqkout is an album presented as a testament to where the artists are currently at in their careers.
