Crooked I Has Two Of The Hottest Verses Ever In Hip Hop

[Raiders4Life]

It's hard to find any Ahmad tracks online, unless you have his album. I'm sure it's out of print. But, you can easily find some 4th Avenue Jones shit. That's Ahmads Hip Hop Band.

Isn't that the Ahmad that sang "Back In The Day"? .Ahmad from "The Anthem #7" is the same as Ahmad from "Back In The Day"? I always thought they were different people.

Just wondering... what exactly is "rhyme structure" and "wordplay" to say Crook has the "2 hottest verses ever in Hip-Hop ever" is humorous but untrue, no matter how you may feel, but I'm willing to bet that you haven't heard every single record ever recorded and Crook is dope, but to shit on every other MC by saying what he wrote, is better well......just do your history on Hip-Hop. Some may mistake you for one of these kids who claim Tupac/Big were the greatest MC's, when they weren't, they just happened to join the ranks of MC's before, during, and after their demise.  

LOL. Homeboy, I gave proof, I just didn't say "Crooked I is better than all emcees," I said he has two of the hottest verses ever in Hip Hop. Not shitting on ANYONE. I've heard a lot, been bumping Hip Hop since the late 80s, I'm not just some cat who's hopping on a bandwagon.

Ok, my thing again is what makes it the hottest? What is he truly saying that is different from what any MC has ever said? Honestly, Crook is hot, I have songs...better yet and album and half's worth of tracks that the general and internet public has never heard as of now. I myself am I fan of Crook, but again what he spit was dope, but to pigeon hole him in that category, I can tell you, he himself would feel differently. And again what is YOUR definition of "rhyme structure" and "wordplay" in reference to him having the hottest verses in HIP-HOP EVER? It's easy to make a claim, but to make such a brash statement is harder to back up, like now

but.. lyricists dont sell :/  .. so while he'll get his props, he wont get the quintuple plat everyone expects

What about Nas? Eminem?

Either way, I don't care if Icon sells 9 Mil or 9, he's still one of the best emcees out. Records sales don't make the rapper.

canibus.. ras kass.. etc etc  you prob wanna put sly boogy in there

mc's of a certain calibre are too advanced for the pop charts
if they dumb down too much, they're selling out

I sure hope that doesn't happen with Crook or Sly. I lost a grip of respect for 50 cuz of that shit. Even Em has been toning his shit down lately. I guess they figure they already makin' the paper, so why try anymore.

Anyways, the verse from the Anthem 7 is one of my faves all-time. First time I heard it about a year or so ago I was blown the fuck away. I don't think the other verse is all that though. I maybe I needta actually hear it in audio?

If Only We Could Get An album Full Of Shit Like That

If he gets down with Bolo, believe we will. I'm crossing my fingers. Sway & Tech bring out the best in Crooked I. Nothing has ever brought the beast out him like a Tech or Rev beat.

^yup, u gotta realize crook was on these tracks wit some of the illest mc's out there so u know he didn't want 2 be outshined... sway n tech definitley bring out the best in him... i really hope he sighns and drops an lp on Bolo cuz i know it'll be fuckin' sick... death row was never the right place for crooked... i thought so @ one point but he really didn't impress me much @ all at death row... his hottest shit was on the wake up show...

His verse from "The Anthem 7" with Dirty Birdy, Sly Boogy, Planet Asia, Ahmad and Ras Kass

Crooked I is a cannibal, a mechanical animal/That'll dismantle ya mandible wit' a manual "How To Make Raps Flammable"/[...]Tech electricuted half his brain, drove his ass insane/While Sway choked him out wit' his own Platinum chain/Revolution hit him wit' turntables and cracked his frame/Carmalita laughed as he grabbed his abs in pain/[...]And I can answer the million dollar question in less than a second/I step in wit' weapons, that's destined to spit lead through ya flesh and exit intestines/Meet death just for flexin', wait a second

In bold is what I think is good great rhyme structure. In italics is what I consider dope wordplay. Now, my definition? To me, rhyme structure is where you put your rhymes in your bars. Be it at the beginning, middle, end or all three. As for wordplay, my definition of word play is flipping a word over and over. "destined to spit lead through ya flesh and exit intestines." To me that's dope word play. Again, those are MY definitions.

That's why I believe those are two of the hottest verses ever spit in Hip Hop. This is my opinion, so whether Crooked I, Suge Knight, Dr. Dre's Uncle, Various bum down the street, etc. don't believe the same, so be it.
