'''Kurupt''' (born '''Ricardo Emmanuel Brown''' on [[November 23]], [[1972]] in [[Philadelphia, Pennsylvania]]) is an [[United States|American]] [[gangsta rap]]per and former Executive Vice President of [[Death Row Records]]. He is a member of the rap group [[Tha Dogg Pound]], and is mostly known for his work with [[Death Row Records]].

Also known as '''Young Gotti''' and '''The Kingpin''', He is one half of Tha [[Dogg Pound]] (Daz & Kurupt).
An '''ink''' is a [[liquid]] containing various [[pigment]]s and/or [[dye]]s used for colouring a surface to render an [[image]] or [[writing|text]]. Ink is used for drawing or writing with a [[pen]] or [[brush]]. Thicker inks, in a paste form, are used extensively in [[letterpress]] and [[lithographic]] [[printing]].
==Biography==
===Early life & career===
Kurupt was born in [[Philadelphia, Pennsylvania]] and later moved to [[Hawthorne, California]] as a teen to live with his father. As a result, he has associated himself somewhat with Philadelphia and its rap scene, including Philly rappers such as [[Beanie Sigel]]. He lived in [[Hawthorne, California|Hawthorne]] and later moved to [[South Los Angeles|South Central]] on his own.
 
After a rap battle with future star [[Snoop Dogg]] at a club one night, the two felt camaraderie, and agreed that if one of the two got a record deal they would put the other on. When Snoop was discovered by [[Dr Dre]] and signed to [[Death Row Records]], Kurupt was also signed to the label.

Snoop's cousin, [[Daz Dillinger]], was also signed, and the three formed a group called [[Tha Dogg Pound]]. The pair had well-received appearances on the first two major Death Row releases, ''[[The Chronic]]'' and ''[[Doggystyle]]'', and due to the successes of the albums their debut ''[[Dogg Food]]'' was widely anticipated and did well both critically and on the charts.
==Types of ink==
[[Image:Tintenstrich-detail 2.jpg|thumb|Line of a Fountain pen, 50-times magnified]]
Early varieties of ink include [[Egyptian ink]], various natural dyes made from metals, the husk or outer covering of nuts or seeds, and sea creatures like the [[squid]] (known as [[sepia]]). [[India ink]] is black and originated in [[Asia]]. [[Walnut ink]] and [[iron gall ink]] were made and used by many of the [[old master]]s to obtain ink for drawing, which over time has often faded to golden brown.
 
After the signing of [[2Pac]] to Death Row in September 1995, a [[East Coast-West Coast hip hop rivalry|"rap war"]] was sparked between Death Row and [[Bad Boy Entertainment]]. Kurupt and Daz became embroiled in it through "New York, New York," the single from ''[[Dogg Food]]''; [[Queensbridge]], New York duos [[Capone-N-Noreaga]] and [[Mobb Deep]] responded with "L.A., L.A."
===Pigmented inks===
Pigmented inks contain other agents that ensure [[adhesion]] of the pigment to the surface and prevent it from being removed by mechanical [[abrasion]]. These materials are typically referred to as [[resin]]s (in solvent-based inks) or [[binding agent]]s (in water-based inks).
 
===Off Death Row===
Pigmented inks are advantageous when printing on paper because the pigment stays on the surface of the paper. This is desirable because more ink on the surface of the paper means less ink needs to be used to create the same intensity of color.
When 2Pac was later murdered, Kurupt was one of the first artists to leave Death Row. He signed with [[Antra Records]] and released his debut solo album, entitled ''[[Kuruption!]]'' in 1998. It was a double-disc album, one drawing on the West Coast and one drawing on the East Coast, particularly Philadelphia. His second solo album, ''[[Tha Streetz Iz A Mutha]]'', was released on Antra in 1999. Many of his fans consider this to be his best album, though it did relatively poorly commercially.
 
In 2001, Kurupt released is third solo album, ''[[Space Boogie: Smoke Oddessey]]''. The album did relatively well, promoted by the single "It's Over." In the same year, Kurupt and Daz released the album ''[[Dillinger & Young Gotti]]'' under the DPG moniker. In 2002, Kurupt signed back on with Death Row Records in exchange for Dr. Dre's former role of President.
Pigments are the main components of ink, containing the different colors. The size of the pigment is very important for the ability of diffuse in the solution inks. Qualities such as hue, saturation, and brightness are inherent in the ink, varying dependent on the source and type of pigment.
 
Snoop Dogg and Daz, who held Death Row CEO [[Suge Knight]] responsible for 2Pac's death, were shocked by the move. This didn't sit well with them and a feud ignited between Kurupt and Snoop, Daz and DPG associates [[Soopafly]], and Terry Choe a.k.a [[Teezy]]. Kurupt faded into the background on Death Row, working on the album that would be pushed back numerous times; fans heard from him only on guest appearances or disses to his former groupmates.
===Dyes in inks===
Dye-based inks are generally much stronger than pigment based inks and can produce more color of a given density per unit of mass. However, because dyes are dissolved in the liquid phase, they have a tendency to soak into paper, thus making the ink less efficient and also potentially allowing for the ink to bleed at the edges, producing poor quality printing.
 
===Back on Death Row===
To circumvent this problem, dye-based inks are made with solvents that dry rapidly or are used with quick-drying methods of printing, such as blowing hot air on the fresh print. Other methods to resolve this include harder paper [[sizing]] and more specialized paper coatings. The latter is particularly suited to inks that are used in non-industrial settings (and thus must conform to tighter toxicity and emission controls), such as [[inkjet printer]] inks, include coating the paper with a charged coating. If the dye has the opposite charge, then it is attracted to and retained by this coating, while the solvent soaks into the paper. [[Cellulose]], the material that paper is made of, is also naturally charged, and so a compound that complexes with both the dye and the paper surface aids retention at the surface. Such a compound in common use in ink-jet printing inks is [[poly vinyl pyrrolidone|polyvinyl pyrrolidone]].
 
During his second stint on Death Row, Kurupt formed two separate groups: '''[[The Riflemen]]''' consisted of: Kurupt, [[Mobb Deep]], [[Jayo Felony]], [[40 Glocc]], and [[The Alchemist (producer)|The Alchemist]]. '''[[The HRSMN]]''' consisted of Kurupt, [[Canibus]], [[Killah Priest]] and [[Ras Kass]]. Though the former never released even a single and now seems defunct, the HRSMN have put out two mixtapes (one featuring songs by all the artists together, one just a loose compilation of contributions by each rapper). In interviews they have stated they are ready to begin working on finding a label for the project and releasing it, and though each one is busy with his own albums, they have each guested on each others' projects. [http://canibus-central.com/site/horsemen.php]
An additional advantage of dye-based ink systems is that the dye [[molecule]]s interact chemically with other ink ingredients. This means that they can benefit more than pigmented ink from [[optical brightener]]s and colour-enhancing agents designed to increase the intensity and appearance of dyes. Because dyes get their colour from the interaction of [[electron]]s in their molecules, the way in which the electrons can move is determined by the charge and extent of electron [[delocalization]] in the other ink ingredients. The colour emerges as a function of the light energy that falls on the dye. Thus, if an optical brightener or colour enhancer absorbs light energy and emits it through or with the dye, the appearance changes, as the spectrum of light re-emitted to the observer changes.
 
When the album, ''[[Against Tha Grain]]'', was finally released in 2005 to poor reviews and sales, Kurupt had already left the label a second time. The feud lasted about 3 years, until Snoop Dogg put together a meeting called the "West Coast Conference", which was a rounded up a large amount of rappers from the West Coast. The press conference was for artists to squash any problems, so they could all work together and make money in the future.
A disadvantage of dye-based inks is that they can be more susceptible to fading, especially when exposed to [[ultraviolet radiation]] as in sunlight.
===Again Off Death Row & Recent Projects===
 
Kurupt dropped "Same Day, Different Sh*t" in 2006. The CD was entirely produced by Daz. and was an independent release.
==History of ink==
 
==Discography==
Approximately 5000 years ago, an ink for blacking the raised surfaces of pictures and texts carved in stone, was developed in [[China]]. This early ink was a mixture of soot from pine smoke, lamp oil, and [[gelatin]] from animal skins and musk. Other early cultures also developed inks (of many colors) from available berries, plants and minerals.

===With Tha Dogg Pound===
In an article for the [[Christian Science Monitor]], Sharon J. Huntington describes these other historical inks:
 
{| class="wikitable"
<blockquote>About 1,600 years ago, a popular ink recipe was created. The recipe was used for centuries. Iron "salts," such as ferrous sulfate (made by treating iron with sulfuric acid), was mixed with tannin from gallnuts (they grow on trees) and a thickener. When first put to paper, this ink is bluish-black. Over time it fades to a dull brown.</blockquote>

===With [[The HRSMN]]===
<blockquote>Scribes in [[medieval]] [[Europe]] (about AD 800 to 1500) wrote on [[Sheepskin (material)|sheepskin]] parchment. One 12<sup>th</sup> century ink recipe called for hawthorn branches to be cut in the spring and left to dry. Then the bark was pounded from the branches and soaked in water for eight days. The water was boiled until it thickened and turned black. Wine was added during boiling. The ink was poured into special bags and hung in the sun. Once dried, the mixture was mixed with wine and iron salt over a fire to make the final ink.</blockquote>

===With [[J Wells]]===
In the 15<sup>th</sup> century, a new type of ink had to be developed in Europe for the [[printing press]] by [[Johannes Gutenberg]]. Two types of ink were prevalent at the time: the Greek and Roman writing ink (soot, glue, and water) and the 12<sup>th</sup> century variety composed of ferrous sulfate, gall, gum, and water <ref>Many recipes for [[iron gall ink]]s are featured in A booke of secrets: shewing diuers

waies to make and prepare all sorts of inke... tr. out of Dutch into Englishe
by W.P. [i.e. William Philip], London, 1596.</ref>. Neither of these handwriting inks could adhere to printing surfaces without creating blurs. Eventually an oily, varnish-like ink made of soot, [[turpentine]], and walnut oil was created specifically for the printing press.
 
===Other Appearances===
==Modern ink applications==
*1992 "Lyrical Gangbang" (Lady of Rage, Kurupt & RBX), "Stranded on Death Row" (Kurupt, RBX, Lady of Rage & Snoop Doggy Dogg) & "Bitches Ain't Shit" (feat. Dat Nigga Daz, Kurupt & Snoop Doggy Dogg). (From [[Dr. Dre]]'s album ''[[The Chronic]]''.)
Up to a few years ago, consumers had very little interest in ink other than to buy refills for their pens. Fountain pens became a novelty as the disposable ball point pen took over the market. The introduction of home computing led to home printing. Today it is rare to find a residence or a business that does not have a printing capability. As a result, buying "ink" in the form of a cartridge or having that cartridge refilled at an inkjet island in a local mall has once again become a part of the day to day shopping experience in a similar way that buying a bottle of ink was common fifty years ago.
