What about post Death Row material such as...

-If You Ever Hear Me
-My Life
-Life As A Shorty (My Life 2.0)
-Auphelia Payne
-All I Ever Wanted
-You Need A Blessing
-American Me
-The Signs
-Leave Us Alone
-Gangstas Holiday
-Dream Big
-My Story (verse on Mick's Tape)
-Move On (w/ Slaughterhouse)
-Rain Drops (w/ Slaughterhouse)

Those are just his more introspective cuts too, he's got other upbeat tracks that were ill after Death Row too.

I'm not trying to argue with you, but simply pointing out that Crooked hasn't changed that much. I could name a bunch of tough songs too that he dropped, if you want comparisons to "G'd Up And Banged Out" or "Niggaz Got Game".

I agree with you on the song choices there. As I've said he drops hot material, and has the ability to still do it. His talent hasn't changed at all as a song writer or rapper. He can still put out hot songs, however I feel his management direction has lost it's path. He's and probably quite rightfully so as an individual trying to hit a mass market and make money, which I feel sometimes has him dropping some BS material from time to time which dampers his overall look in his post-Death Row era, more than what his commercial Death Row days seen. Songs like Hoodstar, So Damn Hood, Dollars In My Hand still showed more occasions of that unadulterated Gangsta rap within the songs, and not so much emphasis on money, commercial gangsterism, and mixtape principles. Maybe it's just my personal opinion, but it is shared among many more that his Death Row days, or Big C Style days were a lot more polished than his current material, but at the end of the day, if people think otherwise, then I can't argue with that opinion or say it's wrong because as said earlier he still has the ability to put out hot material and has done

It's also a bad look because we don't leak unreleased music on Boss Board and have been asked not to post leaked material either.
