This was insane for a freestyle. There were parts of the beginning that i couldn't tell if they were prewritten or not.

[@justincharles6585]

Its mixed with some of his older stuff as he was asked to spit that shit that helped kick this whole thing off

[@therealtrebla]

thats how you fucking rap

[@MrBryan90]

It's funny I've never actually compared Crook to Jay, but not even Jay could touch Crook's level. Capturing inspiration is one thing, but to transform it into a fire rhyme scheme on the spot. Only person I seen do that is Charlie Clips when he mad...

I dug this dudes flow and rhymes when I first heard him on an Ashanti record back in the ealy 2000's , instantly strated following him, had been a west coast hiphop head since the 90's but hadnt heard him, Was a fan ever since.

[@nearynerr]

One of my all time favorite mc, wordplay and delivery is so witty and delivery is fresh every time he spits, been rocking this dude's music since forever, and big homie never fell off not once. Crooked I and Papoose over the last ten years made it possible for me to continue to be a fan of rap music.

[@Zakariia]

Can you recommend any tracks with Crooked I??

[@TheKaveshan]

Zakariia PSALM MIXTAPE

[@MalphasMikaelson]

Zakariia I recommend everything. His work with Slaughterhouse, his freestyles ( he made a lot.) Few of my favorites are Hard In the Paint and Fireflies remix of his. I really like his Snoop Dogg diss aswell. And the original wake up show verse, which wasn't what he was rapping here.

[@kylereasterson5934]

cut off my leg I'll put a shoe on my third one

[@Mr.Memphis10]

When you mention Lyricists Crooked I on that lists

[@DE-hi9mc]

Exactly this is how you freestyle on unplugged. Damn that’s dope, sick and fire at the same time.

[@davidcamino713]

Literally 10000x more talented than Drake

[@nogrecords]

💯

[@dutchhiphopfan050]

As far as rapping goes: for sure. But as someone who has tried crooked solo stuff: he isnt really bringing anything but bars. Not a lot of interesting song concepts in his catalogue and his hooks often are lackluster. That said: when it comes to rapping about rapping almost nobody can touch him.

[@morokamoroka8178]

Still rocking hip hop weekly till this day. BEAST!!!!!

[@justincharles6082]

Crooked is the kinda guy that won't make a good mainstream song but will roast you if he just has to rap for the sake of rapping.

[@devinb9985]

Michiel Prak dude.. crooked kept death row alive.. if you check writing credits, crooked has way more bangers than Drake.. crooked ghost writ when Drake hired ghost writers..

[@Holthane]

Anyone who says "it's written, Crooked I is garbage" etc. So what, it's written. I challenge you to write a better verse than this and you know how much time I will give you? The rest of your life. Do that before you comment some disrespectful shit.
