Crooked I - Under Pressure Freestyle

[da chronic]

there's no hook, so it must be very easy to sample the beat. He just looped the empty hook part obviously

[SAINTX111]

Crook got down. I don't hear anyone else saluting the general on his birthday....

[YoungCrookedI]

Crook got down. I don't hear anyone else saluting the general on his birthday....

Amen.

Actually, Crooked looked hell of lame for jumping on this track.  He tells the world to move on from Detox then he is the first to jump on it's cock.  I'm not even hating on his flow or his content, just the tactic.   Crooked needs to create a hot single that stands for itself and speaks for him instead of resorting to lame publicity tactics like this.

Kind of agree with this. In fact, I fully agree with this. Like said - He tells everyone to move on from Detox yet is the first to jump on and do "another" rap over someone elses beat 

Crooked I has a hell of a lot of talent, both as a rapper and a writer, but with this freestyle, and the recent non-support to a full release of original material from him (which fans admired) he continues down the path of "mixtape" rapper. The more and more he raps over others beats, the more it'll be harder for him to get out of it. Boom Boom Clap, and other singular effort attempts is the direction he should be taking to create buzz. He done Hip Hop weekly, and that was 52 of other peoples beats, but don't keep it on that path because it only leads one way.

Fk this track, I don't care how hot this rap is, I already know how hot Crook is as a lyricist, shyt I knew it since his Dogg Pound/Death Row dayz over a decade ago. Keep it going with Slaughterhouse, and keep putting out those "own" songs. I'm sick, and like most- frustrated of hearing a talent like Crooked who has been in the game almost 20 years doing this school boy "amateur" tactics. It's a bit cringing. He's worked with Death Row, Murder Inc, Snoop, and DPG, people who put out regular albums effortlessly, and actually has/did have some top dog connections IE: Jay Z, Sway, and others. He really is an idiot when it comes to business, yet claims to be a BOSS? lol. If he had any brains he'd embrace the Hoodstar release, and allow the slap back release, to then to downplay it to allow for a Snoop collab to display new allegiance (it would work for both, Crook to hot lyrically for Snoop to fk with, and Snoop way bigger than Crook commercially) but again, we hear another freestyle over another beat, and will for many years to come

Oh for the love of fucking God! How fuckin difficult it is to understand that Move On verse. He says rappers should stop worrying about Detox because it won't help them if they're just waiting for it to drop & save the west. Unless they're on the album or have written for it. He says even if the album is dope, it's not gonna help you because you're not on it. Now he says he wants Detox to blow & thanks that it's finally dropping as a fan. Not as an artist.

And, if you want proof he can't create some dope single material just look at the 52 week build up and then the failed delivery of a hot single.  It was a wack track with akon. 

It wasn't even the akon feature but the general shittiness of the track.

lol

I'm with you on that one. There's so many of those bullshyt tracks that I manage to avoid because I don't keep up with all these wack sounding trash that comes out, despite it creating a little 'minute' buzz from online fans. Block Obama mixtapes was some of them, skippers due to the weak music behind it, or the fact the beats didn't relate to the lyrics. It doesn't have to be a musical master piece for me to listen to, but I can listen to an Immortal Technique mixtape all the way through, but not a Crooked I one, why is that? I know Crook is hot, but his mixtapes don't retain any interest or replay value besides a few tracks. His DR material however...........

Thank you lol.

I think that's why Slaughterhouse gets so much hate on here, people can't understand the lyrics; it's too much or something.

Next time people on here support Lil' B or Gucci Mane, I'll understand why; it's nice & simple.

[V2DHeart]

Yeh but he's saying for people not to wait on Detox to save the West, yet he's using a pre-finished Detox track to try and gain exposure for his own career, and of course to presumably "save" the West. since claiming to be "New West"!!!

lol, "gain exposure".

Honestly, how many people you think will ever hear this freestyle?

[Rodger Ramrod]

umm crooked ALWAYS jacks beats.... are you fucks new or something?

[EFFeX]

As does every other rapper in the industry, lol...

This is just the usual Crooked hate.

Nothing about Slaughterhouse is complex. They spit clever punchlines that are easy to understand and straight to the point. It's like you and Jaydc are playing your retard card with the lyrics just to defend dude. Fact: first he says Move on, Detox ain't gonna save the west. Now he's saying Thank God Detox is here, play this shit in all the clubs. If you don't find that the least bit hypocritical then somethings wrong with you.

[Chamillitary Click]

^J.E. was on point, it's him saying "thank god" as a fan; not as "thank god, the West is saved!".

We all know you hate this beat with a burning passion & always had a thing against Crooked I, so add those two together & I wouldn't expect you to have anything positive to say anyway lol.

Its pretty evident your acting like a retard and choosing to ignore the lyrics meaning however simple they were.Your reaching far too hard.Just admit you didnt understand the lyrics and move on.He didnt say move on from the album,he said move on from the thought the album will save the west.And now hes celebrating the album from a fans perspective,he isnt saying than god its heard the album is going to save the westcoast.If he said that,then that would be hyproctical,but again,he isnt.Your just choosing to be ignorant.

lol, yeah I guess because I don't think he's GOAT like you do I have something against him. If you've followed my posts, you know I've defended and criticized him equally. Two things I dislike are stans and haters and I go after them both. I dare you to come up with a rapper I will never criticize or make fun of for doing something stupid. There isn't one, because no one has a perfect career and I seem to be the only guy here who is a stan of no one. I left that shit behind just like I left high school.

What stans don't seem to get is that I'm a real fan of Crooked I. The reason I critique him is because I WANT him to succeed. I WANT him to drop that classic debut. I want the best for any rapper I like to listen to. The guy can spit his ass off, and I enjoy hearing his freestyles. Unfortunately, his original material usually isn't as good. So when I see something that can be improved upon I'm going to point it out. No matter who it is.

Reason I'm so passionate about it is because I WANT his shit to come out. Dude has been in the game for years and hasn't dropped a single album. I'm fucking pissed off about that. Who the fuck wouldn't be? It annoys me off that he can't get his shit together long enough to put out an album. When I look at at Crooked I, I see a straight spitter with a lot of talent who hasn't lived up to his potential yet. Maybe you are content to listen to freestyles over other people's beats. Maybe that's all you want out of Crooked. Fuck that, I want to hear an original album from him at his best. And I want it to go hard. Until that day I'm gonna keep doing what I'm doing.

Yeah, that was a rant but oh well. Was a long time coming. This same thing goes for any other rapper I listen to. Sick of stans thinking I have it out for a rapper just because I'm willing to criticize them. Fyi Jaydc, no, I don't have it out for Nas just because I think his discography is inconsistent as fuck.
