you could probably listen in on a cypher at project blowed or other LA undergorund spot and find someone who could give game a run for his money........but how many can put together an album with any type of replay value?.......give game sum credit for knowing how to craft some songs, or put a decent mixtape together..........it all boils down to what you think makes a 'dope' mc.........does it boild down to just lyrics? or flow and charisma? what about off the top battling?.........it goes way beyond game having more sales, or crooked never dropping an album.......personally, i think crooked is better than game as far as lyrics, but crooked seems far too one dimensional at times to me.........and i really wasnt feeling that mixtape he dropped either(i think it was young boss vol. 1? it was him and sum of his less talented homies all over it)........every other freestyle was over a chronic 2001 beat, and became repetative at times...........so i have little faith in his ability to craft a decent album, let alone anything on par to the material game has, and will, release
IMO of course he is, but without an album on the shelf you're never going to be able to defend it.
You people take shit to literaly. Almost every rapper says they are the best. It doesn't mean anything. Chill.
Sure, Crooked is a better lyricist than Game. Dude can rhyme his ass off. But I dont hear great songs coming from Crooked, no albums, no nothing. Game's got him beat on all of those fronts. So until that stuff happens then all Crooked will be is a "coulda been."

as an artist: game > crooked iit doesn't matter how good crook is, he sucks at pleasing his fans. game hasn't released an album in a year and a half, but he's put out 4 mixtapes, a dvd, and has done a lot of appearances on mixtapes and other people's albums.in 10 years, what has crooked i put out? 1 mixtape that is impossible to find, 2 other mixtapes that were pushed back a bout 7 times a piece, and a dvd (that from what i hear is horrible).i got love for crook, but dude needs to learn a lesson from game, ras kass, bishop lamont, and the rest of these other artist that keep independently releasing music.
