Let's take this line by line, this is getting absurd lol.

"Out In Cali Nyggahs Blaze An Stress" - Rappers out in California, smoke weed & stress because they can't sell shit. We still on the same page?

"Waitin' On DeTox 2 Save Tha West" - These rappers reffered to in the line before/above think that if Detox comes that they will magically help them along with there career; but no, they got something else coming. Let's continue.

"Even If Tha Shit Is Dope" - Even if Detox is dope...

"It Ain't Givin U Nyggahs Hope" - These "niggas" here aren't getting shit from Detox, it doesn't affect their career because they aren't on it or aren't working on it.

"Unless Your Signatures Wrote On Tha Check From Interscope... NOPE" - On the flip side, if you are in fact working on Detox & getting paid to contribute to the album (paid for by Interscope Records), that would help your situation/career.

Summing it up; artists on the West Coast are caught up thinking Dre will come & people will say "The West is alive! Detox dropped! People will listen to my shit because we're back, baby!". When in reality, it's not their album, how the fuck does it help them? How will the releasing of Detox help Jay Rock or Ya Boy if they aren't to be found on his album?

Now at the start of this Freestyle Crooked I says "I want to hear this shit in the club for the next six months" out of being a fan of Dre.

You can say Crooked I is "stanning" Dre & supporting inferior work of his just because it's Dre; I mean, he made it seem like "Oh man, Dre is back & he dropped a classic" & that surely wasn't the case.

But his lines in "Move On" & him supporting this song are two completely different things.

This is about ppl thinking Crook is dead-ass rich living care-free doing whatever he wants.  Also could refer to ppl stereotyping him from Death Row days.

This is about him being worse off than ppl think, and that he basically has 2 options for income, hit the block or make it in rap.

This is him wanting rap to be about real shit, and how he is working hard to be that kind of artist

This is about ppl interviewing him and focusing on his contacts and affiliations, more than the actual music he makes.

MOVE ON

This is Crook stating that Detox coming out isn't gonna help anyone's career, but the ppl were involved in it directly, and will appear in the CD credits.  He is telling these other artists to do their own thing and stop clinging to someone else and their project to get buzz.

On a side note, I would be pissed at Crook if I were Dre.. I've already listened to this version 5 times, and the OG only 2 times..   

Crook has stolen Dre's spins from me..  :laugh:

This guy aint no crip, and I'm 100% sure on that because he doesn't type like a crip, I know crips, and that fool is not a crip.

It was polished. From the delivery right down the production. Some of his more recent work sounds like it's been produced by some bedroom producer on his mothers PC using some fruityloops software. Musically it can't compete

lol @ young boss vol 2 shytting on anything he ever recorded on Death Row. Jack 101, the OG house party & Raw Dawgz shyt on that entire mixtape alone. Boom Boom Clap was on that young boss mixtape if memory serves me right, as well as that all I ever wanted track and those tracks don't display Crooks natural ability of a raw and hungry MC, or his lyrical talent. They're basic commercial attempts with simple structure like a lot on that mixtape with production that don't belong to the likes of Crooked I. Obviously there are those that will fall into the minority who prefer his recent work over the Death Row material, but his Dogg Pound/Death Row collection, early DR right to the point of the SHTTBG session tracks are most desired by the fans - even on "this" forum. They spark the most interest, and discussion. Slap Back - a Death Row era track leaks, and it sparks up the entire rap forum network, and a lot of discussions on rap sites and message boards over the net. A Boss leak is put online, and it gets about 18 maximum responses and is forgotten about within days. SHTTBG EP gathered more interest and discussion over Pig Face Weapon Waist EP as well. It's just one of those things

Slap back got attention because it was a snoop diss no other reason.I think your one of 3 people that actually think his music was better back then,it clearly isnt.The deathrow era was easily his worst era of music.The only people that prefer that era are people that arent really crooked i fans but rather those group of europeans obsessed with anything deathrow.His music was far from polished on deathrow.It sounded amatuer and boring.Ask the artist himself and he will tell you the same.people care about the deathrow name and the music regardless of wether or not its better.2pacs best music wasnt made on deathrow,but dont tell a deathrow fan that.

& About SHTTBG EP gaining more interest than Pig Face Weapon Waist EP? That doesn't just come from the minortiy of 3/4 fans. It clearly comes from a larger majority. Crooked was more interesting on Death Row, more original, and more anticipated with his music/projects. You can blame the present day industry, or whatever else, but it is what it is. There's no way I'd ever in my life ask an artist what music was "better", because in their eyes - it'll always be what they're doing at that moment in time. Snoop will say Malice in Wonderland is some of the best things he's ever done prior to it's release. It doesn't always produce a well rounded answer. Fans and critics know better in that field! The artists will always have a diluted view of reality and most already know that a lot don't have good memorys of Tha Row

You never rated Don Killuminati 7 Day Theory as 2Pac's best work? I did, I liked pre-DR material very much, and agree with some of the DR comments about it's fans liking anything DR related but it wasn't an opinion based on that. I just liked the darker concept and religious-like theme of the entire album
