2 of the best rappers on this planet. I love this combination, Kxng being the best rapper alive and Joel Ortiz thats the best in the world at what he does.... just crazy

[@timson3489]

Crook the goat, for sure, though so many still think we crazy for saying something like that, so I say what others do, and that, that Kxng is King of the West Coast and Joell is King of the East Coast, hands down. These two are like if we were our parents in the 90s when Pac and Big were becoming friends for the first time.

[@salimkania]

exactly, amazing things happening in our lifetime.@@timson3489

[@CiNoTheGod]

KXNG Crooked is still the Greatest Lyricist of all time! I'm glad to see Joell Ortiz killin' it too! Powerful Duo 💪🔥💯

[@nogrecords]

You ain't neva lie

[@emushow9315]

Not really

[@jeromemgoma3218]

Greatest LYRICIST both kxng and joell...but all time is the WHITE BOY...he pushes his syllables different.

[@burningspliffs]

@@jeromemgoma3218 I know damn well the white boy you talking about better not be the white dude who was rapping about killing his wife and rapping a whole lotta nothing when you break the lyrics down and rapping a bunch of fast gibberish that still meant nothing foreal

[@jeromemgoma3218]

ONLY 31K views after A whole fucking year, like WTF!? This kind of shit is what pisses me off about most rap fans, they actually ain't really fans of rap...

[@valid3383]

Some lyricists are so special that the majority of people that pay attention to hip hop can't relate to the technical intricacies they possess and lay down.

[@unclemurdablackandyellow5481]

It's funny how sway mentioned owning out bank. I literally was just having a Convo and was speaking on how we now have at least a handful of black billionaires and still not one black owned bank. What are we doing?

[@BryanKalloo]

Now a days that chain comes with the head. Different kind of trophy

[@richardmuirhead5428]

"Catchin' Bodies" is one of the dopest songs EVER recorded ... Factaroni!!
