snoop uses ghostwriters, crook's a dope writer, i don't see the issue

[Allpaul]

I was kinda loaded when I made this post but I'm still surprised that the guy who brought us "Dre Day" and "Pimp Slapp'd" is just gonna let Crooked I slide on this. It's not really his style.  ?? I don't know what's confusing about that....

[C-clamp]

what did crook say in XXL?

[Allpaul]

Are you doing a lot of ghostwriting?
I get a lot of offers, but I don’t do a whole lot of it. Keeping my buzz is a full time job. Right now, I’m too busy. There is a dude I would like to ghostwrite for and that’s Snoop. I could give him that ’07 Long Beach shit. ’Cause it’s a whole new day [in Long Beach]. It’s not 64 Impalas on Dayton’s. That shit is on the rack collecting dust right now. My niggas got Harley’s now. It’s not all khaki suits and Chuck Taylor’s. We wear Dickies shorts. We don’t always walk around looking mean all the time. We’re out here having fun instead of being stuck on that same shit that came out in ’94.

It’s funny you mention Snoop, because last year in an interview with Dubcnn.com, he downplayed your talent, suggesting you weren’t on the level of Kurupt or Bad Azz. Did you ever talk to Snoop personally about that?
When he was saying that kinda stuff he didn’t know [that] I wrote for Kurupt before. I reached out to [Snoop] through a couple of mutual people, though. I don’t know what happened, man. Sometimes when you got a person of his caliber, you got people around him that may not want to see Crooked I and Snoop Dogg do anything together. They may feel threatened by that. That whole controversial interview—that was cold. I still feel like he should have called me if he had any of those types of thoughts about me. Now, at the same time, I’ma pure businessman. I don’t have to like you to do business with you. He’s in the limelight. He’s a big celebrity. I’ve got lyrics and that’s something he needs right now. If he reached out on that tip it would be beneficial for the both of us. I do want to sit down with him regarding that interview because I never forgot that.

lmao. "Its not all khaki suits and chuck taylor's. we wear dickies shorts." PLEASE!

[thisoneguy360]

It would be pointless to start a beef about that, and Snoop may be a legend but he's in no way shape or form fucking with Crooked I lyrically if he were to try and start shit

 I wish they would just stop the bullshit & nonsense and make records together, but historically this type of challenge brings out the best in Snoop. Make no mistake, Snoop can still be vicious on the mic. Listen to Think About It on TBCT... I'd assume it would be a battle on wax, not some kind of 8 mile shit...

I agree, that would be a dope collabo, Snoop always seems to have something up his ass whenever someone mentions crooked though

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

all in all I think they all killed that poor man tracc wit barrington levy!
not a fan of snoop but he even killed that tracc along wit crooked daz and soopafly!
bangin tracc!

"it's a full time job keeping my buzz going" ... lol, is Crook's still in 2003, he must have meant "it's a full time job just trying to get any buzz going."

I never really thought Snoop got at Crook that hard, he just said he wasn't feeling his style then when pressed further he explained himself and his reasons. Not like he even needs a reason not to be "feeling" any up and coming artists that diss him for recognition or because their label heads tell them to. And as far as I'm concerned Snoop has shit talking rights against every ex death row artists who dissed him just because Suge said so (daz and kurupt included). These guys all come crawling back, giving props in interviews and trying to explain their disses away like it was just business or misunderstanding so that they might be able to make money with Snoop.

I think Crook's probably more bitter that he was denied after trying to reach out (do music, write, show at west coast conference) but realistically when you're in a position like Crooked was that's the gamble you take when you align yourself to one side like that. He made that bed now he's gotta sleep in it.
