Title: Crooked I writing for Kurupt?
Post by: MIAMI4LIFE on August 20, 2007, 08:53:12 PM
I was wondering did he write anything on Streetz cause the 2 songs that Crooked is featured on both have dope verses by Kurupt or did he start writing for him when he went back to the Row after he split with Daz?

I was wondering that too, I'd think it was the older shit, although he did record a few dope songs after the split with Daz most of the songs weren't fuckin with his older stuff

I think crooked probably wrote for against the grain..........cause on streetz it wasn't like there was just a couple of tracks he ripped, and was shit on the rest, he ripped every single song on that disc.

the Against The Grain album was lyrically nothing special so I was thinking that maybe he wrote Kurupt's verse on Step Up, and I think alot of the Streetz album was freestyled

Not that it would surprise me, but Kurupt is one cat who don't need ghost writers.....shit his freestyles are better than most cats writtens!

definitely but Crooked mentioned that he wrote for Kurupt in the past and I tend to think that it might be Step Up because the lyrics definitely sound similar to his opening verse and Gotti sped up his flow on that track, but Kurupt did freestyle alot of that album and alot of the tracks on Kuruption but Trylogy is one of the alltime great freestyles

its actually written wrong on ohhla.com this is the correct version

Tales of terror, let's start, in the midst of your heart, starts
The storm, my vocals float like arcs
In the mystic state of mind, when I create a rhyme
My microphone massacres every year the same time
With audio amputations, vocal chords of a loud talker
Up against the microphone night stalker
With a tendency of bashing MCs,
like ten of me, as you can see I continue mashin' MCs
Caboom, the room gets cleared as my views get clearer
Extra-terrestrial microphone terror
In effect, get infected
Tell me what the fucc you expected
These venemous injections
I leave whole sections, and sections full of injections
From these poisenous melodies and selections
I select the methods of slow anguish
I mangle shit with my language
Tell me, have you ever seen one elope
With the microphone
In a scandal like abilities to make MCs explode
Baboom, alone in my own zone
So don't compare me to none
Not one's nearly
Severe, cuz I severely, impare MCs
Near me, oppose and fear me, I got plots and theories
Sincerely, I could have the spot locked
Niggas get stoned for touching microphones
with no knowledge on how to rock

top 5 Gotti verse of all time 8)

Yeah, Kurupt definitely wrote his own verse in Step Up, that's just vintage Kurupt lyrics right there.  Why would Kurupt ever need or want anyone else to write for him?

I was listening to it on a 10 hour flight back to NY and Step Up bangs on the Ipod too ;D, Daz and Battlecat came up with a gem of a beat and all 3 MC's just rip it to pieces, whole album is classic or as near classic as you can get

Yeah the album had a good flow to it. It stayed gangsta and lyrical throughout. And the beats= OMG :o My track in the ride is still Welcome Home. That shit KNOCKS! Something for everyone on that album IMO.

Title: Re: Crooked I writing for Kurupt?
Post by: d-nice on August 22, 2007, 06:52:24 AM
It started lyrical and pretty much ended lyrical. Really only 1 bitch track. But this was the album Kurupt needed to drop after Kuruption. People always talking about a 2nd album slump and that album most def was not a flop or weak. IMO this is the blueprint along with Doggfather on how a DPGC member album should be set up and how it should sound.

Kurupt's verses when he's on songs with Crooked I are better because Kurupt has to keep up.

When Kurupt writes his verses, they are gems and possibly unfuckwitable. When he freestyles his shit, it's like a slot machine. it can be good, ok, awesome or just plain bad.

also my fave MC ever. crooked is sick but i don't know that he's done alot of ghostwriting for Kurupt.

Not that it was any of his doing. I think as long as Snoop ain't down with him it won't happen. But to Crook's defense he can and has more than held his own on tracks for a while so if it happens cool if not that's cool also.

Biggie mentioned Kurupt as one of his favorite MC's and also Eminem as well but because he isn't as mainstream as the other cats you mentioned he doesn't get his due but he is definitely a westcoast legend and one of the greatest Westcoast MC's of all time, as far as Crooked writing for him maybe he did write some hooks for him like Tanj said but thinking it over I doubt he wrote any verses down for him, especially in the Streetz era
