[@peterstannard]

Crooked I got an album coming out. Video was done Dec. 2007 and we're still waiting lol.

[@legendarilyrefined]

Only The Wake Up Show could pull-off an improv like this...absolutely insane; loved the live instrumentation and DJ-ing. Does anyone know which one of their Freestyle Albums this one might be on or where to get this from officially? As far as the topic/debate at hand, to each their own but: It's hard to spar with the bars Of the beast from the Eastside of Long Beach..... Crooked i

[@KCLMNOPQUEBEC]

if this was all freestyle. dammm nice but short. short in time. nice in ryhmes.

[@illone1981]

Peep out Beats by Wallace Green I miss the old wake up show, now its only on for an hour

[@TheNatforce]

Is this a verse from one of his tracks? If so, what track can I find it on?

[@BlackOnBlueSilver]

whats the beat playing while there just talking at the start?

[@YzWords]

im from the east and i know a bunch of people that like Crooked I he got fans ova here too.

[@jmartecep]

Crooked goes all in, I'm really feeling his lyrical skills. Got a message not the bull ish we're hearing right about now. I hope he blows up.

[@domonik]

WAKE UP!!

[@samsong.8030]

I just totally zoned out and listen to the key on the keyboard

[@valurp]

he never claimed it was off the top. he even said "they wanna hear The Kite". This verse is the song "The Kite" on his mixtape "Young Boss vol. 2".

[@vince2mas]

he really do have a crooked eye lol

[@friggchigg10]

too beast for the streets

[@FreshmenBolts]

WHATS THAT SONG PLAYING IN THE BEGINNING?

[@pushinweight]

this battle is 29 years overdue people havn't heard of crooked eye..he kills the mic before he touches it...i'll leave it at that

[@Jaykin]

That was sick indeed. I gotta go with Jay tho. Both of them are crazy on different levels. Jay just happened to be put on more bigger in the industry and with the respect from his earlier days as a battle rapper. Crooked definitely killed it

[@Gunshin10]

crooked ' and royce --- illest

[@NastyDHL]

yeah...same here man...that was ill

[@djkingtech]

and keeps poppin fresh tracks with texts... ? texts?

[@JoshWRelaxToTheMax]

[@50908]

[@Floridatillidie]

this shoulda been a song!

[@kayamazule8647]

Damnnnnnn

[@mdlfinga]

LMAO! when did he say that

[@ACptProdigy]

take the verbal versatility of eminem, the delivery of a fuccin comet impact (it hit u hard and that kill alotta niggas but its the long term effect u gotta worry bout cuz it kill everything else) , the rhythm of an old jazz musician (Coltrane), the hunger of a locust cloud, a g'd ass demeanor, the mind of a poet and put it into a nigga who experienced LBC in the 80's and 90's and u got Crooked I.

[@KCLMNOPQUEBEC]

YES the 3 videos next to the KCLMNOP poster is inside of a real federal prison no MAKE UP we got the camera in and shot a real movie.

[@chichihwanga]

HES A KILLA!!!!!!!!!1

[@legendarilyrefined]

Also, does anyone know the name of the instrumental that starts around 0:51? Thanks.

[@LadyTai7]

I'll buy 6 of his albums take 1 or myself and give away 5 to fools that need to be educated... Croocked I all day baby... w-e-s-t-s-i-i-i-d-e!!!

[@I4NI_]

Best rapper alive and forever crooked

[@twinturbog]

PLEASE...What's the beat that starts at :52?

[@JoshWRelaxToTheMax]

[@HoodedQobra]

Crooked is a Beast...we doin a show with Him tonight out here in AZ. Club Red in Tempe...18+ along with Illogic Illpoetic, and a nice cast of Emceez from out here in Az. including my crew Hooligan Movement...dudes definately dope, I got Respect for him, I'm originally from LB, but am looked at as more an "East Coast" emcee..basicly Lyrical, thats Where Crooked and I got alot in common...I think west coast cats with lyrics...is un-fuc-wit-able...He definately is Underrated..peace..KnightVizion

[@OliveMule]

hes too good for the 85%

[@dan42g]

Being the best and being the most popular are two totally diferent things. Crook is not the most popular but he is deffinitly one of the best out their right now.

[@dewyvids]

find anthem #7 from the wake up show and listen to crooked i's verse...nuff said

[@Complex_tech]

@james819 each member have there owe unique style, story, and skills... bring lot of ideas and drive off each other is more than just a group, you get a variety of styles. if you want to hear crooked i just listen to his mixtapes

[@DjBriteLite]

i was agreeing with what the guy said about carter 3 case in point c3. this is far from trash crooked is a beast that shits on ur favorite rappers favorite rapper

[@lilmskw]

That is Watermelon Man by Herbie Hancock

[@GunnTheDreadNought]

HIP HOP LIVES!!!!!! Realize Just Fast Forward to the end who does it like this ??? Crooked I is the $h!t believe that!

[@mdynasty607]

dude, they are both great emcees, dont compare them and make people hate on ace.

[@manlife4]

Crooked I is a BEAST!!!!!!

[@lopytube]

I hear ya buddy.I dont think he was tryna disguise either.......although lets just add he let some ambiguity in there

[@GunnTheDreadNought]

The Block OBAMA!!

[@Black-Moustache]

Never rated Jay-Z ever since i heard him completely crumble when freestyling with Big L.

[@angerslave1]

I know! Why would anybody? Fucking followers man :-\

[@gametight79]

Jay Z was insane on Reasonable Doubt. We all know that. But Crooked I is the illest out now. Hands down. NY niggaz is feelin em too. Its all luv.

[@310Sole]

man, crooked is nice on the mic, and so is jay. i been a crooked fan since his tha row days. as far as whos better, i dont know. but there are so many dope mcs on the west coast, like the dude bishop lamont, young dre, murs, so many to name but my pick to rep the coast would have to be bishop.

[@kurstone04]

@ROC933 couldnt have said it better my man!

[@harmany08]

yeah, big L is definetely a more appropriate matchup for crook. i think thats y i love crook so much, cuz 2 me he's the 09 westcoast version of L. RIP

[@racksmead]

thats his verse from the kite

[@charlierose1708]

Crook would eat Jay's lunch any day period

[@Kajemyster]

wasnt no freestyle, thats off of young boss vol. 2!!! but still sick!!!

[@Gfunkking]

o helllll yes! lil wayne is childs play compared to crooked i

[@vicokwaro]

whoa! how have i never seen this! crooked! lyrical beast!

[@ENCELADUS777]

my nigga crooked is the best point blank the bot got skill and im from the south i need skill when i hear it

[@BlackOnBlueSilver]

i mean the beat around 3:00 into the video

[@drew92gill]

WURRD

[@LIGHTSKINTELEVISION]

Both Emcees are extremely nice and established.. But I've witnessed at least 100 MC's in person that are nicer.I'm not exaggerating either. I've been a DJ and a beatboxer in some of the illest street ciphers of alltime. I've been at Zulu Nation functions and Rocksteady crew anniversary ciphers alone, where I've witnessed at least 50 MC's that would serve them both. Sway and tech are the best thing that ever happened to radio since Lady B,Mr Magic,and Chuck Chillout. More important than rappers

[@Joneslawl]

6:13 for what you came for and not the radio station bullshit.

[@Apathetik]

crooked i is dope, song wise he may not be equal to jay-z' in sales but lyrically crooked is above jay-z..hands down.

[@Metatron141]

Jay Z and Crooked definitely got to exchange math. I think Crooked would drop the blade down on Jay's style and end it once and for all. I wanna see Crooked smash Lil Wayne too.

[@2JG3]

Old jay-z was the shit now its all about the money, he doesnt need to write shit no more he made it big and it was hard for him, his lyrics are still sick as fuck. JS

[@Biz005]

Crooked got Jayz lyrically

[@ridwan-lo6jb]

if u dont believe crooked i freestyles then checc his freestyle weekly thing he had goin

[@lilmskw]

My mistake, wrong song.

[@KCLMNOPQUEBEC]

if no one die they are no beef if they are a beef someone always die __________________________Flat line Rapper = Pen and paper MC = Life ZULUNATION rules

[@lilshawtyb]

i dunno dis dude but real talk he's gud

[@illone1981]

Beats By Wallace Green I'm pretty sure Crooked I just got signed to Shady records with Eminem

[@edpascasio]

Cuz you kno hiphop is all about how many records you sellin, right? thats the kind of talk that makes people say hiphop is dead! lyric for lyric, like tech said - crooked can hold his own with jay no doubt

[@yukmouth23jayrich23]

so much better then Jay how is that even a debate.
