Crooked I – Stronger Freestyle

When I was at the studio last week, both my man Mickey and Crooked I let me know of this freestyle over Stronger that Crook was in line to do in support of his spot in the VIBE.com Best Rapper Alive tournament. He’s up against The Game in the first round so you know it’s gonna be difficult to beat the stans, but be honest with yourself. As far as being a rapper/emcee, Crooked I >>> The Game. Voting starts July 21st. There’s a possibility this will be on Block Obama, but no promises. Lots more heat from Crook is on deck. The shit I watched his record was ridiculous.

  1. HAHAHAHAHAH THIS NIGGA SAID THIS GUY BETTER THAN THE GAME,… I MEAN HE COOL BUT THE DOCUMENTARY>>>>>> HIP HOP GEEKLY

  2. this shit is DOPE!!!

    crooked i is that dude

  3. COB is a religion.. Listen I meant it.. Everything I’m spittin was written with hidden symbolism in it..

  4. oh how cute, the homo learned to put my url in the name.

    sorry. it’s not me. you still have something wrong clown.

    and i stand by my statement. as a rapper/emcee crooked is miles ahead of the game.

  5. Hold on its even in question that Crook is better than game in terms of lyrics etc….wow…

    i mean you take hot beats of game..and well you got a basic rapper now do that to crook and you still have a fucking ill rapper

    give crooked beats like kanye did to game say with Dream and i can only imagine how dope it would be…

    Bottom line Crook is an MC’s MC
    Game is a guy who is improving and has his moments and is a worthwhile mc but overall you got to put crook streets ahead of game

  6. ill.

  7. i crush both these cats.
    myspace.com/pelewon

  8. oh goodness.

  9. shake, for real. Peep my shit and tell me im not better that AT LEAST the game… crook is nice sometimes…

  10. &i beat michael jordan one on one.

  11. i get enough emails with “im the next best thing” “im better than 2pac” “youll die if you sleep on me anymore” type shit. sorry. not the best way to get my attention.

  12. frisco dyke

  13. ok, fair enough. How about a sincere request to just give it a listen. If it sucks, blast me. If it dont suck, then whatever. im not looking for you to validate me or jump on my nuts, i just think that my music is dope and you MIGHT enjoy it and discover something new. As i recently discovered this gem of a site. One.

  14. you’ve got the email, hit it up. i don’t visit myspace pages. the music never works for me on firefox.

  15. get off crooked i’s dick…your queer ass is annoying as hell

  16. Ah, there-in lies the problem holmes, Im at work and since im a broke ass starving artist, I dont have internet at the crib(gotta feed the seed) but i will attempt to get you a song or two. I believe you can hear a couple songs i have on reverbnation.com, but not the newest shit that im super proud of… Still my shit on reverbnation.com is plenty dope. Either way, keep up the good work, diggin the site. One.

  17. That was a Tight Freestyle.

  18. Man… i cant help but think that most “Freestyles” now a days were born from a pen and pad. Case in point. A milli. He states that he “Threw the pencil and leak the sheet of the tablet in my mind/Cause I don’t write shit cuz I ain’t got time” Does anyone really believe this verse is a free? cmon, if you believe that, we need to link up and play some poker, after that i have a bridge in brooklyn i wanna sell you. My point is, that freestyle used to mean OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD. freestyles do not have voiceovers, or punch ins. just a thought.

  19. the term freestyle has evolved. free verse and freestyle have became the same thing. everywhere in hip hop. you should know that. if it’s just a free verse you have, not on an album, mixtape, etc.

    i will co-sign that he doesn’t write shit down. he doesn’t hear the beat and go off right away. there’s time with him walking around the studio bouncing his head listening to music and the verse forms in his head. that is true.

  20. [...] post here. Previous:« Meka’s Soul Mix Show: Envisioning The Hereafter Next: Skillz – Yea Ya Know [...]

  21. i dont think i agree, a free verse and a freestyle are NOT the same, otherwise there wouldnt be such a negative to using a “paper” verse in a freestyle battle. I have both raked and seen others rake emcees for trying to pull that shit. I have won battles based on my opponent using a obviously written verse. Maybe i just take pride in my prowess off the top, but it kills me to hear this new trend of written freestyles, if they are all freestyles that what the fuck do you call a written verse? im off to lunch, ttyl.

  22. truthfully im a game fan, but crooked i wud kill game in a freestyle battle , end of.

  23. g star you mean in a written battle right??

    and lol @ shake whining about game’s stans when he’s a stan as well…a crooked i stan to be exact

  24. Damn, well if i was filthy rich and didnt have to pay for studio time, i might just walk around until a verse came together too. But i doubt it, is that a coincidence (i think i spelled that wrong) that a majority of his material has no substance? Now before you haters wanna jump on me, i am not knocking wayne, i am a fan as well, but seriously is his music gonna change anyones life besides his own? is there a worthwhile message? i know not every song is gonna be “Dear mama” or “Hazy shade of criminal” but to date he hasnt had a single track i would call “Deep”. Ok wait, i take it back, i just remembered “the lala song” where he says he studied pac and big and soulja slim and aaliyah(?) and i do think that was maybe his best song to date. But one song in a catalog is not enough to “matter”. Well i think i have stepped on enough toes with this entry. Myspace.com/pelewon.

  25. lol, in a written battle its not game vs. crook, its Ghostwriter vs. crook.

  26. you’re sadly mistaken if you think crook has no substance.

    blah, i’m done here. i know what i like, and i’ll continue to bump it.

    lol, eatadiccup.

  27. my lack of substance comment was directed towards wayne sucka.

  28. yo get the fuck off, u damn MySpace rapper tryin to get shine

  29. what’s with the name calling? that’s hilarious. you call me names repeatedly then expect me to listen to your music? is this a new promo run that i’m not aware of?

    haha … menlow gettin upset!

  30. suck it bitch, nice and slow. Name a rapper that dont have a myspace page. Name a rapper that aint tryin to get some shine. Now go kill yourself.

  31. haha fo sho shake, dudes been hatin

  32. i call you names repeatedly? Word? i must have blacked out and went on a rant…

  33. i like game more but crooked is better. how bout them apples.

  34. Shake, I don’t know if you’re confused…

    Or if i’m confused…

    But I think ol’ Pele was talkin’ about Wayne, not Crook.

    and I just peeped your page, Pe… Your shit is sloppyyyyy. (no hate)

  35. forgive me internet kids, here i was having a conversation with shake about the in and outs of freestyling and some how now i am a name caller and a myspace rapper, ok, be that as it may, fuck you, you asshole. there, now your can justifiably call me a name caller. ANYWAYS, i stand by all my comments. What.

  36. hey,Atone, appreciate the honest feed back, no ill will. Thanks again.

  37. yea i was confused at first, i see it’s towards wayne.

  38. the only myspace rapper in this thread is crooked i..no one else

  39. do you get paid to hate? like do you have to pay taxes and shit? just wonderin…

  40. You really gotta clarify who you are directing these slights at. I will assume its not me, cause it really doesnt matter, but if i could get paid to hate, i would. AND i wouldnt claim taxes. Holla atcha snipes!

  41. i was talking to “lol” which is why my comment followed his.

  42. lol i accidentally jacked this thread for my own shameless self promotion, and the only feedback i have gotten is that my shit is sloppy. Viva la Crooked i freestyle!

  43. god youre all pathetic

  44. do you get paid to hate? like do you have to pay taxes and shit? just wonderin…

    ^^ nah fam i just enjoy getting all you groupies wet

  45. getting paid to hate = running a site with threads

  46. you must lead a very interesting and eventful life. smh, sorry to hear that.

  47. getting paid to hate = working for B.E.T

    I know some of yall have seen that boondocks shit! HILARIOUS!

  48. you must lead a very interesting and eventful life. smh, sorry to hear that

    ^^ my life is beautiful…i just happen to have a couple hours a day to surf the net so you know….

  49. Bomb your nearest call center. Do this now.

  50. esso, if thats your best line, keep writing.

  51. it’s not. its the same fuckin homo that keeps talkin like he’s “shake” “donny goines” and “esso”

    dude has NO fuckin life at all. hilarious.

  52. for 8 hours a day i have no life either… but at least i get paid for it. So shake you have no retort for my observations on freestyle/free verse? there IS a difference.

  53. like i think sumone already said, Crooked is better lyrically but the Game’s flow and beats are waaaaaaaay better. The Game can change his flow at a moments notice. We cannot not compare them until more of Crooked’s new shit comes out. I mean his older raps aint nuthin compared 2 Games shit so we gotta wait. I kno Crooked’s freestyles are ridiculous but come on, u dont compare those 2 regular songs… Right now id say Game is better and is one of the best out right now. Crooked right behind him tho

  54. games flow is better than crooked? really? i must be listening to something else haha.

  55. pele – i never said they weren’t different. they are. i’m just saying it’s accepted in the industry now. the fans, artists or whatever made it that way.

  56. fuck the fans,artists and whatever!! those same suckers blew soulja boy up. fuck that. Im just sayin, its a huge difference and these industry cats are obscuring a otherwise pure artform. thats like saying “writing your name on a bus stop makes you a graff artist.” NO. vandal does not equal graf artist. Although graf artist does equal vandal. Fuck transit cops.

  57. pele you are beating a dead horse. no one cares about semantics and everyone is aware what a freestyle means in 2008.

  58. Yup yup… I didnt wanna have 2 bring dis one up but, 300 Bars and muthaf’in Runnin… Crooked I can sound like he just talkin sumtimes especially on his free’s… I got luv for Crooked cuz he talks bout real shit and i understand how ppl hate on Game cuz he talks bout rappers and Dre but thats wut he do… He raps wut he kno’s and keeps it 100… Maybe after BOSS ill change my mind on who’s better but like i said… Game is dat dude

  59. yeah i know, but damn, it kills me that people are listening to shit and eating it up too “can you believe he said (insert written quote here) off the dome?? AMAZING!!” I remember when KRS put NAS on blast for that shit.

  60. And dont sleep on “Ya Boy”, he reckless on da mic… Precise Gang and 100 Bars of Death go HARD!!

  61. pele make a rap about it

  62. lol, should i freestyle it?

  63. oh, the irony…

  64. yo Shake dont worry bout the haters homie…..anybody who actually knows rap should know nobody doin it like crooked right now….everyone make sure they vote in the vibe awards bracket(voting starts july 21) keep postin that dope shit homie…Crooked I is the best rapper alive….time to show the world that..

  65. [...] we were just talking about what a “freestyle” is in the comment section of the latest Crooked I post. No one can argue that Supernat can freestyle his ass off. And I mean really freestyle. Give him [...]

  66. I dont know what the big deal is.. just enjoy the music. Crooked I spits fire consistently. Nowadays everyone gets on tracks and says freestyles who cares, its a sign of the times. You dont get paid to freestyle so quit trippin.

  67. And the moral of today’s story is?

  68. Man game flow aint nowhere near Crooked I’s. Crooked I is jus a overall better rapper than Game. And sumbody tell him that his first 2 albums aint classics. Game aight tho

  69. i love game and crooked i but crooked i win because hes a bit more lyrical than game but it close because they are 2 good West Coast MCs

  70. i think crooked’s a better rapper but game’s a more proven rapper. i mean crooked aint put out a album yet but as far as skill goes:
    crooked i>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Game

  71. politics play a heavy part in that though. crook has atleast 4 albums done and were supposed to be released.

  72. yeah i know he was signed to deathrow and i think hes had singles out before (i know hes had videos)
    yeah but both these dude play the mixtape game hard and
    crooked’s young boss vol. 2 and st valentine’s day bossacre >>>>>> over all of games mixtapes

  73. That’s what i be sayin all the time. Ppl always shittin on Papoose, Saigon, and Crooked I sayin they aint shit cuz they haven’t put out a album

    You think these dudes dont want they albums 2 get out. Its the business holdin them back

  74. saigon has proven himself most out of all those guys mentioned above guys (crooked is better though). hes held his own on a song with jay z, made classice records over just blaze beats, is spreading a positive message, and has had dope singles and mixtapes

  75. Yikes…

  76. I CANNOT BELIEVE SOME PEOPLE HERE THINK GAME IS A BETTER MC THAN CROOKED….its fucking ridiculous! seriously…….RIDICULOUS!

  77. lol @ whoever said game was a stan…

    i kinda agree. every song ppl are talking about how nice he is and all he does is NAME DROP, saying how he feels about OTHER artists… from Dream to Game’s pain… steady stannin

    but i’m still feelin game.

    i don’t feel one way or the other about crooked i.

  78. Oh, believe that game is a STAN, shit he is THE stan. But he still sells records, i look at him like a rapper wendy williams, rumors and feelings, all these feelings, he is so EMOtional.

  79. both them dudes nice. i think game is a very underated lyricist. aside from the name dropping game is very good. other rappers name drop as much as game but they do not catch flak over it.
    i been blown away by crooked i the past year or so. too bad that dude was and is tooo talented not to have a push. but that is what you can expect from the music biz right now. i hjave to give the game an edge since he already has two great albums.

  80. pele won shut up you jibbabo! give them dudes props. i am going to do a favor and check our YOUR music and see how though provoking it is. game has something that you may or may not ever have; compasion for the rap game. do i think he is emotional? yes. at least he has some type of princinples. now how u doin? retard

  81. shawnt, please let me know how you felt about my music, seeing as how this post was @ 9am, im guessing your head exploded and no one has discovered you yet. Heartbreaking, your grammatical skills will be sorely missed. On a positive note, i am almost off work(!!) and i will be going home to make a beat, i might even get a chance to email shake a cut or two… maybe your boy will get some shine ;)

  82. wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww dude below me is the dumbest fuck i ever heard

    did u know that 50 wrote all those songs on the documentary? game is the whackest rapper get off his dick u fuckin faggot. the devils advocate blows for better clothes. dude got a tat of a fuckin buttterfly and another nigga on his arm <dis nigga is gay get off his dick u dick rider.
