Crooked I "Hip-Hop Weekly" - Vol. 26 [Audio] - September 26, 2007 By : Eddie

We're back today with Week 26 of Crooked I's acclaimed "Hip-Hop Weekly" series. This week, Crooked decides to go old school and rips Nas's classic "One Mic" beat. That's enough said, so download it below!

Crooked I - One Mic (Freestyle)

Make sure to check out the Official Hip-Hop Weekly Archive, where you can download the previous 25 installments of the series. Drop some feedback on our forums as well; Crooked reads everything!

Come back next Wednesday for another "Hip-Hop Weekly."

Drop feedback!

Good looking out as usual for the hook up! I love that "One Mic" beat so to have Crook flow over it has me souped!

[CRAFTY]

Hold on a fucking minute. Week 26! Dude's been at it for half a year straight now. Crooked's writing hip-hop history, I'm telling you

Anyway, pretty nice drop, although I have to say that for the first time I'm slightly disappointed with this HHW's lyrics. I don't know...I just didn't get the impression that Crooked was on fire for this one. He came more than decent though, let that be known. But he can do a lot better. But what the fuck am I nit-picking about? Lol...one slightly less good verse in 26 weeks, that's not even worth mentioning. Nevertheless, being the fan that I am, I always give honest feedback, so there it is

Keep it going Crooked!

By the way: how come this week's and last week's HHW dropped in 128 kbps-quality instead of the usual 192 kbps-quality? I'm just curious...because you can clearly hear the difference.

[GangstaBoogy]

[K.Dub]

[Brazemac]

BEST FUCKIN HHW SO FAR!!! Dam Crooked I killed this beat.

[K.Dub]

Cool freestyle, but no way does this touch the OG

true... but what a lot of people forget here is Crook ain't putting a lot of effort into these tracks... he doesn't go into the booth with a pen & pad... he just zones out and does it in one take... now if this were an original beat, then the process would be different... but that's not the case here... something that a lot of people tend to overlook when trying to compare Crook's version to the OG versions.

yeah, im just saying

Hood lookin, but why is there only sometimes a download link on the forum for the HHW, but other times u have to go to the main site to download it?
