Corruption
Corruption is a form of

bribery and

Government, or 'political', corruption occurs when an office-holder or other governmental employee acts in an official capacity for personal gain.
Kuruption!
Kuruption! is the debut
studio album by rapper
Kurupt. It was released on Antra Records, a label formed after Kurupt left
Death Row Records. It was released as a
double album. Originally scheduled for release on September 1, 1998, with the album cover even announcing that date, the album was pushed back to October 6, 1998. Disc one is labeled as "West Coast" and disc two is labeled as "East Coast". It peaked at #8 on the
Billboard 200 on October 24, 1998. The album features "Ask Yourself a Question" featuring Dr. Dre, who also appeared in the video, and the single "We Can Freak It". Initially, the album was supposed to feature a song with
Snoop Dogg, titled "Gangsta Shit", but it did not make it to the album due to label politics, between Kurupt's label Antra/A&M, and Snoop's label
Priority/
No Limit at the time.
