This. And lol @ Jada burning a hole into Crooked lyrically. Let's pretend he's somewhat more lyrical than Crooked, just for the sake of the argument. Crooked I still raps circles around Jada.

Verse for Verse, it would be a pretty good match. Crooked I would ultimately win out. But, Crooked has never and will never make a song as good Why.

His albums suck because he never stays true to himself. He should've just got it through his head that he's not a commercial rapper and stuck to making grimey NY street shit and catered to his target audience. But every album after his debut was full of different regional sounds, R&B hooks, and mainstream features that left his album sounding like bad compilations.

This is the essence of it..

His albums sound like a bunch of rookie marketing interns were assigned the task to "come up with a concept for an album that can appeal to the kids, the girls, the men, and to a lesser extent, the hood".

Comparing his discography to Fab seems relevant in this discussion, not exactly a bragging point though.
I have more hope in the Lox project..

I don't think that there's much of a match, but that's just me. And Why is a great hook with pseudo deep verses. Sounds great and all, but they can't compete with, let's say Let Me Buy You A Drink.

THAT is a touching song that is relatable on a personal level, not some weedhead philosophizing about real basic shit. Why gets the edge over LMBYAD hook-wise (not by far, though), but that's not exactly Jada's fault I suppose.
