Good God this is the kind R.A.P that you gotta run back a couple times.This shit pure genius 👏 its crazy to me that there ain't at least 200,000 like on this track yet.Sharing now.
A lot of people sleeping on lyricism True heads still appreciate what you're doing out here Crook. Much love from Canada Thanks for the years of music to vibe to.
@@CrooksCorner no doubt about it, you is Top Tier and no one should forget your name ever, personally it depends on the day with me whether you are top 10 or top 5, but no matter the day you are one of those Elite Class spitters
Yes. I showed my daughter monthly spotify listeners and 300k a month for crook or the numbers for black thought whaa??? in comparison with 75% shit coi bs 😡 😡 coming out these days, tf?!! 😖
Slaughterhouse got me on him... He was always the nicest after royce... And on some tracks he even got royce... But yo dude is and has been the nicest in the west!!!!! Kendrick who!?
Crooked I is an absolute insane MC! Most rappers listen to music, hear patterns (Rhyme schemes, melodies, styles, etc) and want to recreate those patterns. In order to create these unusual schemes and be successful at it, you have to be a musical genius! Crooked's mind is outside of the box! He creates his own rhyme schemes which results in his own sound. One of the greatest in my book. And SUPER underrated!
Smh... Funny how people asking Your opinion on everything what's happening in Hip-Hop, but don't appreciate Your lyricism level.... One of The GOATs fr..
"Hotter than thermometers in Nevada, hotter than lava and fevers, the C.O.B father-leader, red beamin' ya cats, them spots not a cheetah, them shots knock you out ya hot Prada sneakers." 🥵🔥☠️
That line whole line of "Y’all won’t mention my name, you hating, I guess that’s what happens When you interview Rakim And you’re in Eminem’s Top 10" is just pure and raw lyrical. 🤯🤯
Ever since that slaughterhouse cypher in 2011 I have been a fan, da only member whose lyrics, metaphors, entendres, and flow/cadence leave you mesmerized. Kxng Crooked😈😈🔥
I really love this shit, as if rap was my grandfather, imagine my disappointment in Afrika Bambaataa, but fuck it I'm back on the track, massacre, manslaughter, the vanguard of this art cause I happen to rap harder than, asphalt in the black part of town where rounds crack armor, I'm strapped when I'm relaxing in bathwater.
@@christopherayettey4390 asphalt like road top here in the US. Its like a mixture of tar and gravel. In terms of rhyme scheme it employs the assonance of eh ah sounds in grandfath/Bambat/man slaught/vanguard rap hard/black part/crack arm/bathwat . I think Crook basically saying that his love for Hip Hop, the fact that hes such a high level wordsmith, that hes always ready to bring the heat even when you think hes just relaxing doing his thing. Edit: also wanted to add as if rap/afrika assonance as well. This was such a wild rhyme scheme
"I can push keys till my green equal your streams". You can have a billion streams and shit but you still gotta come correct when in the presence of the KXNG. 🔥
Just bumped into this after the material being released by the Crooked and Ortiz half of Slaughterhouse and one thing, KXNG has always been nice with the flow. Royce once said during an interview, that when they'd laid their verses on the Slaugherhouse album, and KXNG walked in and did his thing, they had to redo their verses. BEAST.
As a non native English speaker, my first listen, I never really catch any bars (sorry!). But in this first listen, I enjoyed the sounds, the band, your flow. Thing is, I'll catch bars and have fun with it for a little while to come. I'm not a hip hop head (I think), but I enjoy that! So thanks ✌🏻😊
Most underrated rapper of all time. With all of the trash out there in the rap game these days, it’s refreshing to hear a true spitter. Never leave us Crook!
"Cos I happen to rap harder than asphalt in the black part of town where them rounds just crack armour, I'm strapped when am relaxing in Bath water" Literally one of the best about man!!!! This is just music to my ears 👀🙄❤❤❤💯
Even slim shady said in 1 of his interviews that he thinks only crooked 👁️ and 1 or 2 other rappers can go bar 4 bar lyric 4 lyric in the booth with him 💪🏿💪🏿
Em also said that out of everyone in Slaughterhouse Crook could just bar everyone to death and keep going non stop. That is saying a lot considering who he was in the group with.
@@richluckey8639 but I remember that Em said that Royce is top 5 and Crook is top 10 so I'm not really sure about that. Plus Em knows that Royce is a beast as well, he could never get killed by a single bar even by Crooked. He could get washed in a verse by Crook but not get washed with a single bar
With the way hip-hop is now music like this is really refreshing. This music is a hell of a Vibe and has a lot of lyrical content to it with good bars. I almost feel like the world doesn't deserve music like this for being so supportive of that whack Mumble rap. Big respect to Crooked I
Appreciate the luv
Ur the illest evaHHH!!!!!!!.

Listening all the way in Botswana. We appreciate the shout out!! Thats crazy, looong time fan. GOAT
My favorite song.been listening to rap 30+ years and never heard anything this dope
Love that H town reference. From tha third coast we appreciate the shout out from a 🐐.
Eminem ain't the only one that has Crooked in their top 10!
Hopsin got Crooked in his top5 DoA too
For me he's the greatest MC to ever touch a mic
@@juliuslucci6827 When did he say that?

And Ludacris was in his top5 too
Forget 'on the West Coast', Crook is one of the nastiest rhyme spitters of all time. He's locked in my Top 3 with Big and Black Thought.
Man, this sounds like some golden era shit but feels fresh as fuck as some 2021 shit
Welcome to Crooked I. He's been the best rapper for over 10 years..
Golden era with that west coast vibe, Crook and Thought....prolly the two best imo.
Crooked Has been the BEST on the West Coast for years!!! Crooked & Black Thought are PROBABLY the MOST underated Rappers of ALL time!!!!

One of the most talented and underrated lyricists in the game! Fire!
Most rappers don't even have one verse as good as this. Crooked does this on the regular. Top 5 easily. I'm loving the live band instrumental, too.
Me too. I have no problem with DJ's but having your own band will always be Dope to me.
"Either you're High or you lyin/Lion, that's the uproar." Makes me mad crooked is so underrated.
