Boom boom clap and Straight bossin were 'good', everything else has been mixtape standards.
But So Damn Hood, Gangsta Rap, Death Rizzo, Gd Up n Banged Out, Still Tha Row, We Ballin, The Nexx Niggaz ft Murda Inc....
His old flow was fast and raw. Now all he says is 'COB IM A BOSS COB'.

All I Ever Wanted was amazing, and you seem to be a bit of a Death Row STAN? Is that why you are on Tha Realest's nuts?
-
Dont entertain this thread.
-
yeah all i ever wanted was dope but RhyanD is right too
crooked sounded more hungry back then
not sayin he isnt or hasnt been since but his energry changed!!
maybe his mindframe was "IMA BOSS, BIG SUGE'S GON RELEASE MY ALBUM"
so now hes jus kickin back knowin that hes never gon drop!!!

I would say that he dropped some heat right after he left Dr, look at Come With me...sick ass track and I have heard some dope as flows on the HHW
It does seem like he is not as hungry but it has been a long time since he been in the game, every artist kinda slows down after their prime (too bad crooked never got that chance)
-

"aite whats the next song cuz I cant wait to go home" or some shit

everybody has their opinion, i think he has only progressed as a mc.

Got to totally disagree. YES, Crooked had a mean flow back in the day and dropped some sick tracks, but his catalog was very limited back then. He has way more bangers post-Death Row, than he did back in the day. Not to mention, aside from songs like "Nobody Understands Me", "Livin' In The Hood", "Girl", etc... He was very limited with the subject matter back then. It was mainly "I'm a gangster" on every single track. Which is fine and good, but I have heard him spit so many more topics in the last few years. He's a lot more well-rounded now.
I mean look at the tracks you listed...
"So Damn Hood, Gangsta Rap, Death Rizzo, Gd Up n Banged Out, Still Tha Row, We Ballin, The Nexx Niggaz ft Murda Inc"
What's the main topic of each track?
However, like we all know it's all opinion.
-
i wouldn't go that far..... he's dropped some heat since deathrow.... a lot of the hip hop weekly shit was fire!
i agree he has moved away from his original flow to something a lil watered down though.... step it up crook!
-
I wouldn't say he's fallen off at all. I would say that he's toned it down a tad to appeal more to the mainstream, and to his credit its work. He's just now starting to be recognized on each coast, which is what he and every other emcee wants.

yeah but IMo thats also to do wit the formation of his supergroup and him bein out on the east a lot lately, they even said crooked hardly would ever go out to that coast

i gotta agree at some points here.. Crooked has dropped lotta heat, but 90% of it is mixtape material.. im still waiting for BOSS lol!
peace

albums > mixtapes
check and mate.

check and mate.
In what ways? Can't say original beats, Crook has those on his mixtapes, can't say content, Crook got that on his mixtapes too.
Other than the fact you have to take money out of your bank account to buy an album, what's the big deal? Good music is good music.
With that being said... YES, I want the album to drop.

the crooked i deathrow dayz were dope. i wish whoever bought the catalogue from deathrow releases his 3x deathrow shelved albums cause they would definately carry some heat.
