Pretty dope track, but Crooked's constant exaggerated over-pronunciation can get a little annoying at times.
yeah, it's mad annoying for me. Anyway, this track decent, but I don't see it doin' big... I don't like the hook, Crooked's pronunciation make me wanna turn that shit off. I liked Game's single more...
"Big Dreams", "Dream Big, "Dreams"... rappers gotta study dictionaries and come up with more original titles.
i agree with the title of the song,but whats wrong with his pronunciation? to me it makes crooked stand out more yell

Exactly, i love being able to hear what a rapper says, I can barely hear what lil wayne is trying to mumble, or 50 cent for that matter

Crook's flow is so perfected, you don't hear him slur words or fuck up his double ups like most rappers.

This song gets better every time I hear it, it's definitely a grower.

Exactly. The more I listen to it, the more I like it.

this is what i posted in the other thread:

Crooked I ft Akon "dream big".......its alright....


Sounds like a mixtape track... gots potential though... Sounds like they just paid akon to come and do the hook quick...

And i think crooked i has done so many freestyles that this song sounds like just a freestyle...
crooked talking about haters, westcoast, his 16's, getting paper

His verses are all over the place with the content.  It could have been a nice storytelling track...
 
Song has NO bass at all though...  Its missing a nice bassline...

I give it a 3.5 / 5

Hopefully it sounds alot better when we get the CDQ...



this is exactly how i was feeling. I was real disappointed. My expectations were very high the moment i heard the hook and beat. crook really deserves his shot, but this track coulda have been much more. It sounds like he is rapping at/down on you rather than to you which could hurt him when it comes to certain audiences. I felt like he was mad at me cuz he went through hard times. it seems like he is letting is image as a lyrical assassin get in the way of him making good songs. The emotion in his voice doesn't match the direction of the beat IMO. if he woulda took the emotion from my life pt2 and applied that formula on this, it would have came out better. For the record I really hope i am wrong and this track blows up

It's not as bad upon consecutive listens but it's conspicuous dude is holding back.  He has so much more to offer.  If he chooses the right music to fit his flow there is no limit to what he can do.  I guess we'll find out if the album drops.

If a song has to grow on u that means it's not that good in the first place.  and u have to keep listening to find things u lilke about it pretty much..

yeah man...after i made my version of the song wit the bass added... i listened to it some more and liked it a lil more...

but to tell you the truth, this track doesnt have any replay value...  I havent really listened to it much...

Its like you said, the emotion in his voice doesnt match the beat...

And i agree wit you alot with the "lyrical assassin" hes trying to do...  His raps were never like this until he started doing the hiphop weeklies...  which were coo for mixtapes and freestyles but once you start making actual songs you got to switch it up...

I just dont like the fact that crooked i is rapping about haters and internet bloggers and his 16 bars and the westcoast on an actual song and not a freestyle thats supposed to be a deep track about dreaming...

I just think he needs to focus and stop rapping about random things on his tracks...
