Quote from: OG Michael Madsen on June 23, 2012, 12:52:49 AMnope,i find it hard to believe that Crooked was ever singned to the cigar-smoking "Big Boss Dogg" - Daz Dillinger as an artist by paper-work.it was most likely just a 50/50 "1 album"-deal or distriubtion deal, jsut like teh one he laid down for RBX and Lil C-Style later on.regardless, the album never came out & Daz subsidiary to Death Row records didnt come to frution (just like Snoops Doggystyle Records), n even if Crook did collaborate wit Daz and Kurupt on 7 or 8 songs, and was on the same song as Snoop 3 or 4 times - I dont look at him as an affiliate to the DPG-universe.not even close, hes from the 19th Street Records-familytreeYou also claimed snoop and crook never made a song together until guess who's back.

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 CrookedCrooked is the msot talented mc/lyricist from Long Beach.the only LBC-artsit that ever came remotely close to Crooked I, as an mc, was probably Techniec.

Sorry but to hold Locksmith in the same category as Crooked I is ludicrous for anybody to even mention. Locksmith has some dope flows, but his catalog of work is about 1/75th of that of Crooked I. I probably don't even have a third of his tracks and I have over 400 Crooked I tracks on my computer. Any true hip-hop fan knows that there really isn't anyone that compare to Crooked I when it comes to pure spitting and wordplay.
Lmao so what is crookz n doggz then? A track they just happen to both appear on even though their names are implied in the song title and they mention eachother in their verses?

That's 3 more albums than Crooked I. I'd say the quality of work is higher too.PS. Notice how I didn't count Lock's mixtapes and his freestyles as part of his accomplishments?

Notice how I didn't count Lock's mixtapes and his freestyles as part of his accomplishments?Those 2 solo albums guaranteed sold less than Crooked I's street albums, which at this point are 6 deep. Not to mention Crooked I is about to drop his second group album, which also quintuples the numbers Locksmith's group albums sold. Plus Crooked also had the Death Row album drop 2 years back.Not that sales mean anything, but to just act like cause Crooked I wasn't dropping "official albums" that his body of work means less than Locksmith's is nuts. Crooked had platinum aspirations since the beginning and he never wanted to drop on a bullshit label and sell bullshit numbers, that's the only reason he's never dropped official LP's. In the short, Crooked I will be a legendary type figure on the hip hop underground when it's all said and done, and Locksmith is really only appreciated in one region of the world. Not close to Crooked's level.
you are arguing with one of Crooked's biggest haters and your time isn't worth it lol

A track they just happen to both appear on even though their names are implied in the song title and they mention eachother in their verses?your "I-am-right-and-you-are-wrong"-argument isnt even important, Jay.im givin my opinion, so theres no need for u to go back n fourth wit melike ur fighting the battle of ur life, child. simple - i dont look at him as an "affiliate" to DPG. just because ur from Long Beach, and u've happened to be on teh same song as Daz or Kurupt a handful of times, orif u had a deal wit Daz on the table at one point that never turned out to be anythin - doesnt make uan "affiliate".i did forget about "crooks n doggz" wit Snoop& Crook, that King Tech hooked up for teh Wakeup-show. a collabo wit Snoop doesnt make him an affilate thoexample,, DPG-"affiliates" or former DPG-"affiliates": Tha Twinz, E-White, Fratthouse, Roscoe, Hustle Boyz, Eastsidaz, etc etc (list goes on n on).Crooked I is not one of em
