Title: Who does Crooked I ghostwrite for?
Post by: GangstaBoogy on April 12, 2008, 02:03:45 PM
I know a ghostwriter is not supposed to brag about who they write for but now-a-days thats pretty much all ghostwriters do. I've heard Crooked I (and his fans/staff) mention that he makes a lot of money from ghostwriting but they never say who he writes for. Anyone know?

It's a well known fact that Crooked I wrote a lot of Kurupt's material when he came back to deathrow.

I love Ice Cube, and i think old school Cube would kill Crooked lyrically, but 2008 Cube? Nope.

this is true, both Crook and Eastwood wrote for Kurupt during his return in 2002-2005.

If Crooked I wrote for Kurupt during the Tha Row era than thats a slap against him. Kurupt's lyrics were worse than ever when he went back to Death Row. Name 1 Kurupt song from around that time where we were like "omg the lyrics are so much better".
Title: Re: Who does Crooked I ghostwrite for?

I like the album its just the lyrics werent up to his standards

he had crazy flows and deliveries so that made up for it

it all came out sounding dope so that was the main thing 8)

Well,I like Kurupt for his word play,flow and delivery.
Has dude ever made sense?
It's just a lot of big words thrown together,shit sounds tight as hell... but...


shit is hella cool when he does those pshychosomatic raps 8)

I just thought there were less of that on Against The Grain

he was mostly angry on some fuck everybody type raps
Title: Re: Who does Crooked I ghostwrite for?
Post by: Snoopafly-1986 on April 13, 2008, 08:53:03 PM
aaahh,now I understand what you mean.
Sure,but I like "both" styles. He might never be as tight as he was in his 92-95 period again,but I have somehow adjusted to his "new style".

sometimes I wish he would go back to the way he used to be but I accept his new style

he's already had this style for years now so I am used to it

Word... I'm one of the biggest Crooked I fans out there, but that statement was a little too much. Cube is a muh fukkin' legend that dropped several classic albums and was part of one of the most influential gangster rap groups of all time. While I have no doubt Crook will drop a classic, he has several more accomplishments to fulfill before out ranking Cube.

correct everyone has their own input, but alotta cats are stuck on the fact that cubes dropped more albums than crooked, we know that, but stop and get that pass that for a minute!
wtf does his lyrical flow have to do wit albums released?
were talkin about bein a better rapper,not albums, not legendary status!
and hate it or love it, crookeds a legend.  yeah he hasnt released a album, but as far as bein one of the best to ever touch a mic, he gets that no doubt!
if cube goes head to head wit crooked, crooked would, (I think) rip him apart and many others!
