@@DanWhoElse On RU-vid interview with Stevie Knight he asked top 5 DoA and he said Eminem Kxng Crooked busta rhymes missy elliot. He said Crooked and Eminem are only one that he never know what they gonna say and he says he studied Crooked flows. He also said crooked’s the king of cadence
“ I’m magic with the rock like I’m Earvin Dwayne Johnson “ I’m not gonna say top because of all the eras! But this Emcee named Crooked is Top Tier , Upper Echelon, Jedi master , Alien, 1 percenter ! What ever name you have for greatness! Crooked is that!!!!
I'm not into basketball like that so I had to google the name lol I'm guessing he played for the Orlando Magic at one point, yeah? nah? lol Keep it up Crook!!
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.
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.
@@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
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..
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😈😈🔥
Every time I hear this song, I’m so proud that my city my side could produce a tremendously talent artist as this gentleman is. Amazing cadence, and poetry. Lord bless the East!
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?!! 😖
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. 🤯🤯
"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." 🥵🔥☠️
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 ✌🏻😊
"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 👀🙄❤❤❤💯
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
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
"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.
The greatest to ever do it. #COB Crook, you give me so much inspiration. Of course, I don't want you to retire. BUT the things you will do for the culture after you hang the gloves up will be something special. I'm excited to see the next stage of your life/career.
BRO!!! stay true Crook PLEASE!! I can't play this song enough! true west coast! true vetted!! I can't ever appreciate dudes like you enough! stay blessed 😇😇
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!
