Title: Crooked I = Overrated
Post by: QL3 on May 31, 2003, 12:59:53 AM
especially on this site. I think crooked i is a dope emcee but U people on here are makin him the next rakim or nas. The reason crooked sounds lyrical is cuz of his flow. If u listen to his lyrics, there nuthin really speacial that makes me say WHOA. U make him sound so lyrical like Nas or Rakim. Hes not as good as a lyrcist as Sly Boogy. Why isnt anyone on Sly's dick?? Sly would rip crooked i apart. Alotta u mofos are on crooked's dick. I know alotta u cats are gonna hate me for sayin this but its the truth. You guys are making crooked sound like if he god.

yeah i agree , everyone was going gaga over his spot on step on on kurupts cd, but imo xzibit ripped apart both of them. like i've said from day 1 until he can proove his worth and do his dirt he's still all hype like Labron James

Agreed. I don't see why people think that this guy's going to bring the West back on its feet.

the only person who has the power to bring the west back has and is Dre. when he was with ruthless  it was the number 1 lable, when he went to DR it was the number 1 lable, now aftermath is on the verge of surpassing DR's sales in an even shorter amount of time.

His a dope MC. His one of the best of the on the west. But i think his gonna fuck up his chances with deathrow, i would rather see Crooked i rock some real rugged hip hop beats and stay on the lyrical tip instead of trying to more gangsta now.
But there is so much underground talent in the west. He is defiantly not the best.

I agree that he is overrated. Some people are acting like he is gonna be the West Coast's next big thing. I think that he has the talent to be just that but he is with the wrong label. And to tell you the truth, I wouldn't sign to any West Coast label, ie. Tha Row, Doggystyle records, DPG Recordz, etc. because on the promotion side, they wouldn't do shit for him which is sad because like I said before, the West needs to start promoting itself like a bitch.

For someone that hasnt even put out a fucking album yet, IMO I think Crooked I is way overated.  And also, did Crooked I ever bang or was he ever a real G, cuz I hate when people turn into actors on wax.

I Would've Disagreed With You Until A Few Weeks Ago...

Crooked I Is Dope No Doubt...But Sly Boogie & The Game...Man I See Serious Potential In These. Sly Is Unbelievably Talented & If He Got On A Major Or Worked On Getting Good Distro & Promotion, He Could Be Huge...Charisma Has Alot To Do With Success Too, Im Not Sure Where He Is On That Level...Just A Quick Shout To Lil Jay For Introducing Me To Sly's Music Through WC2K  ;D

The Game...That Mixtape We Just Got Has Seen Him Fly Up My List Of Talent On The West...Great Flow & Good Lyrics, I Think He Could Be The Next Big Thing IF Dre Handles It The Same Kind Of Way He Did With 50...Time Will Tell Though. He Has The "A-Team" Behind Him As He Says, So If They Did Release His Shit It Should Blow!....Like I Say Time Will Tell!

he's not overrated, his flow is bananas n he's a dope lyricist... i still think he's the future of the west coast... not him alone but Crooked, Sly Boogy, Roscoe & Y.A. are all gonna bring the coast back, matterfact fuck a coast cuz i live on the east coast but i just love good muzik but i wanna see the west shine more since i grew up bangin' all west coast shit like doggystyle...

What you mean? Besides Dre and Tupac, Snoop is the only artist from the west that has gone platinum. So I'd say he's doing sumthing rite..

As for Crooked I, I think he had potential, but that would mean Death Row would have to release his album. I smell another delay coming...

i agree that crooked is overrated, but you compare him with nas, who is the most overrated rap artist in the industry (by rap heads only, and not including any dead people).

and to be honest, i like sly and all, but he would get his ass handed to him by crooked. while crooked is universally overrated, sly boogy is overrated by this board.

Yup, he's overrated, IMO..
I think Ras Kass, Xzibit, Sly Boogy, & (maybe) The Game would rip him..
Even Eastwood is doper than Crooked some times, even if not lyrical..

Definitely not overrated skills wise. Overrated when people think he's going to resurrect the West.

The Game? Seriously do some of you like The Game because you think he dope? or riding his dick because he recently signed to Afetmath? Because it's funny this dude dropped some stuff last year and that album with Nas and I never heard you kids give him any props. But the movement he signs with Aftermath he the greatest and a better artist then Crooked I? Come on now be serious. I like Crooked I and I wish him well far as west coast goes and if anything he not overated at all. DPG gets overated and everything Dre does is overated as hell on this site like Tha Game is being overated. Start judging by the talent people and not hating on an artist or hyping another just because what label he signed too.

When people feel threatened they create way to bash..
The changing of the guard is going down in the West as we speak, and Crooked I is among the new faces to keep this side Tha Best Side.

As the vet's prepare to take a step down, the new generation is coming up....

Crooked I is not over-rated, just been put and held back way to long. When it comes to flow and style, Crook has a go with any of the top mc's out there.

Wait until the REAL lp comes out to jump to conclusions, but honest shitt homies when it comes to having alot of material out that bang's on the almost classic level, Crook alredy has it. and I can't see why or how his Lp could ever be wack.

Crooked I = The D.O.C. (in this era)

Just suck's that with all this beef...
we will never hear Crook rip beatz he deserves such as production from:
Dr Dre
Dj Quik
Hutch
Daz Dillinger
Fred Wreck
ect...
