he deserves it imo, hes the most talented mc that ever came out of Long Beach

[Hack Wilson - real]

best lyricist in Cali by far


Crooked started rapping "professionally" in 1995, including doing that C Style song "Rap Killer" in '95


crazy how he's still in his prime

Actually, it's kind of sad, because after all those years of grinding in the streets, he still sold out in the end.

[Smackdog]

i wonder if crooked is one of those rappers who hangs out at the swap meet trying to sell his tapes to people.

That LBC shit is still the dopest shit he ever did... It was an honor for him to be affiliated with the legendary LBC Crew in the mid 90's.   LBC Crew mid 90's >>>>>> Slaughterhouse.  (And I'm a Slaughterhouse fan).

Also, by the way.  Snoop is the most talented out the LBC.  Then Daz, then Nate, then Warren, then Tray Dee, then the Twinz.. then maybe Crooked

[Sccit]

it's a group album...he deserves a solo of this caliber.

[Okka]

He definitely deserves all the shine he's gettin'. Hopefully he comes out with his first solo album soon too, it's been too long.

He was affiliated with the whole Dogg Pound, not just the LBC Crew. Crooked is still good friends with Big Style and he's still fuckin with a lot of Dogg Pound members.

Lock would kill Crooked I in a battle as he's actually a battle rapper. Crooked I would pull a Canibus.

[Hack Wilson - real]

Crooked doesn't even write his rhymes down on paper, how COULD he pull a Canibus?
