no.
Totally off topic, but Loso said his tape is coming next week, and you wouldn’t believe which beat he thinks he bodied….
Great track, Crooked never disappoints.
this is dope! no surprise there!
eww like a hip hopper actually knows owl city
fuck outta anyway their a bitch band
prolly heard on radio n though he was going outside the box
not feeling it
I like when rappers rap over non-rap songs, owl city’s version is hella annoying
DOPE! I always liked that beat….
Cool to hear a dope MC on it!
PROPS!
i arrive in the flyest ride, sittin on wires, the tires wide, the process of shittin on you has been finalized.
gotdamn, crooked came correct.
Funny you decided to post this now cause I was just listening to this a little earlier & liked it! Yea it’s different & sounds more popish like he mentions on the freestyle but it’s still pretty nice!
@BW Word, who wants to hear the fiftieth version of Exhibit C.
and this is dope, always liked Crooked I the most out of Slaughterhouse.
why does this exist
^^to piss people like you off and ruin your already degrading downhill life into hell.
^^lmao
Crooked did his thing on this. Cool track.
haha this is real cool. dont know what you guys are bitchin bout. You must be the “gangsters that can’t smile” that crooked I’s referring to. bahaha
this was dope. wtf is wrong with ya’ll?
Sure, you don’t have to like the original band, but at least appreciate what Crooked did here. I guess people wanted to hear 808s, racing hi-hats and auto-tune. SMH
crooked i killed it
i predict a shit load more rappers gone be on this beat in no time kinda like paper planes
dope ish!
Was waiting for this to hit the Dope spot! This is a BANGER! Fuck what ya heard, ya heard?!
dope.
crooked has dope lyrics but damn, he’s fucking monotone as what and his flow is the god damn same on every fucking track
y’all stans wonder why he never blew up?
lol
owl city is ass too
the rap is ill as always, but the end where he is singing over the original vocals is wack. kinda ruins the song with that. stick to spitting and it’ll be good
some of yall opinions are fucking worthless
this is fire.
lmfao crook a fool for this one..my nigga
R u fuckin serious…i bet he recorded this shit in a studio by himself cuz if any1 in there rite minds was in there they woulda been fuckin rollinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
wasnt rly a fan till he ripped I Wanna Rock. since then everything ive listened to from him has been fire. this is no exception.
p.s. the original sucks. like REALLY sucks.
All of the Slaughterhouse members rap about the same shit on every song.
Crooked I…Definition of a wannabe rapper.
lol, cute
Slaughter house , if you really think about it were big busts. With all the nonsensoical hype they all spewed…they never amounted to nuthin. Shame for them. yet the claimed to be the second coming of the four horsemen, ya right! They couldn’t even open for the 4HRSMN. Sorry, besides DuB C already created slaughterhouse long B4 deez 4 clowns got they careers started. Slaugterhouse is lame like a misspelled Tat on ya arm where errr body can C it. Chumps +Slughterhoes
Damn why all the Owl City hate??? LOL
Their production is on point.
owl city is for faggots.
4horseman as a group ain’t shit. what did they release?
slaughterhouse > 4flamingassholes
Crooked is dope but he’s a questionable song crafter and yeah they can all say I’m off the traditional song format but they were never on it and if they were (exception budden who managed to create a hot single & ortiz) none of them mastered the song format.
Real Dope. He’s doing something different and doing it damn well.
something different?
smack aside the head! he freestyled over a beat like he did for 52 weeks straight. big deal it’s a shitty pop song.
@Robbie
Hmm, nonsensical hype? Sounds a little like Gucci Mane to me…
(sits back and waits for Robbie’s reaction, should be entertaining)
DoOd, I neva said that Gucci is a lyrical Genious. All I is sayin is dat Crooked, Buttons, Royce all pop off about how they are such great rappers yet what have they put out? Just one terribly produced weak flowin album. with commercial songs/ wik wik wack! I aint out to be dissin no one ryte now though. I am working on the begining of my rap career. Stay tuned for “the Maynard Family Tree” Mixtape. And yes, it is featuring Sneaky Pete and my brothers cousin and uncle TimTom Maynard
As gay as Robbie sounds sometimes, I’ve gotta agree with him. These 4 guys were/are so hyped you’d think they’d reinvented rap or something, when in fact, none of them have accomplished anything with their careers.
this is (2)dope.
“DoOd, I neva said that Gucci is a lyrical Genious.”
BULLSHIT! U say that all the time, don’t be a hypocrite here.
btw u and Jesus r rite in that they never rly accomplished anything in their careers but they’re great underground rappers meaning they can go bar for bar with so many artists, but they can’t really create hits.
slaughterhouse is dope. and although I’m not a big fan of pop freestyles, this is a nice change from things like “I wanna Rock”
The lyricism was unnecessary. Crooked over did it on this beat lmao
RAPPERS NEED TO STOP LABELING EVERYTHING AS FREESTYLE WHEN IT’S NOT. YOU’RE KILLING HIP-HOP
meh. this was garbage.
^^ clearly doesnt know what labeling a song “freestyle” means. you just don’t know hip-hop!
Robbie Maynard you are an insignificant cunt and no one will bump your wack ass bullshit, no one cares that you are gay and wish you could rap, any member of slaughterhouse would make you cry and kill yourself which isn’t a bad idea. Get a fucking life your life revolves around 2dope comments you are a loserfuck
Okay for people who say Slaughterhouse is a group of failures that only really applies to Budden and that’s only in a commercial sense
Joell is just beggining and Royce is succesful if you’re not too fucking retarded to see. Crook hopefully gets on his game soon but he’d of been bigger if all his albums didn’t get shelved.
PS If you hate Slaughter who cares, I don’t give a shit
and for the HRSMN debate I like em both, I know I’m just a crazy fuck :O
First off, this is in no way a freestyle. I hate when stuff like this gets labeled as a freestyle, but it should instead be labeled as remix. The part when he was rapping about gunshots and you could hear the audio played over. That gave it away that it’s not a freestyle off the dome.
Next, it was dope that a rapper used this, because Owl City has some great production. Whether you like Owl City or not, the guy puts together some great, trippy, happy-go-lucky music. Feel good music. If you don’t want to feel good, that’s your problem.
What ruined this was the end for me. He shouldn’t have sung along with the chorus and then did the thing where he was like, you don’t know the words. You know well that he knows the words when he covered the song, at least to the chorus.
dude is to ill one the illest mc ever!!!! never! never! spit a wack verse ever wats wrong with yalldumb niggas b lett your an idiot dude do your research on your hip hop shit a freestyle doesnt mean off the top of the head idiot freestyle as ong or averse with no subject matter just realmcs showing there skills
All of the Slaughterhouse members rap about the same shit on every song.
^^^ This.
Crooked killed it.
dont lie crooked you know allllllllll the words. you love it.
fire.
That fireflies is a really smart pop song, catchy as hell. Had me humming along when I heard it for the first time and I only ever listen to underground hip hop!
lmfao did someone say the HRSMN are better than slaughterhouse?
lmfaoooo
b lett = fucking RETARDED..no shit it isnt a TRUE freestyle..u are behind on the times my dude..seriously get familiar or kill urself u clueless fuck
“Crook rocks over Owl City’s single off THEIR second album, Ocean Eyes.”
Owl City is ONE person.
as far as the “nobody in slaughterhouse knows how to create hits” argument goes, joe budden has, and have you heard joell ortiz and novels new tape, theres some radio bangers on there, pay attention
Gucci Mane>Crooked I
He shouldn’t have done a freestyle over this beat. He rapped over a pop beat (maybe an attempt at going more mainstream or maybe tryna get a point across) and probably knew he’d get shit back to him so he left a response for future comments ‘yall the gangsters that cant smile’ in defence of himself, stupid move IMO. When i woke up this morning i didnt think i’d hear a track by crooked i comparing himself to some pretty little fireflies over a beat made for teenage girls. Even though crooked i made a stupid move it doesnt make him a bad mc. A lot of people are saying the slaughterhouse members are shit mc’s just coz they havent changed the game, you dont have to change the game to be recognised as a talented mc, i dont think they’re anything incredible but they’re definitely not bad and better than about 80% of people claiming to be ‘real mc’s’ these days
^^^^^^^^^^^^Agree to disagree; Crooked Is Hella whack for going in over this beat, but everyone is saying he’s shit but no, he just pulled a stupid fucking move!
nigggas are picky as fuck..everyone here is an internet a&r/producer/emcee/manager/publicist/exec. if yall knew how it should be done youd be doing it yourself or helping someone do it not spending all your time commenting on how wrong niggas are doing it..
its a song. shit aint that serious.
“First off, this is in no way a freestyle. I hate when stuff like this gets labeled as a freestyle, but it should instead be labeled as remix. The part when he was rapping about gunshots and you could hear the audio played over. That gave it away that it’s not a freestyle off the dome.”
and to that dood.. what the fuck are you twelve? it took you that long to realize he wasnt freestyling? lol.. man.
This is the main problem w/ hip hop. we’re all expersts of our genre but anything outside of it we’re clueless. I mean come on crook. Fireflies? You that bored?
first off just because none of them are platinum artists does not mean they accomplished nothing in their careers. i think for them, putting out dope music and having a loyal groups of fans is what keeps them going. second, you guys are all speaking about slaughterhouse in the past tense like its over. from what people keep saying it sounds like they are pretty much on shady records, so hopefully theres more to come
I think half the problem is as a fan who enjoys the majority of Crooked I’s material is that he can spit so damn well but hasn’t lived up to his potential. He drops some of the hottest bars around but he can’t create a song? Can’t create a dope album? What the fuck is that?
This track he drops plenty of dope lines but it’s using that same old same old boring flow. He comes off as preaching. Switch it up is all I’m saying.
Again, all four Slaughterhouse members rap about the same shit, on basically every song.
which rapper doesnt rap about like a list of 5 things on just about every song.. minus lupe and a few others.
Crook go hard
What the fuck is all of your problems? Talking shit to me over the internet because I stated a fact. Telling me to do research. Don’t label it a freestyle if it isn’t a freestyle. End of discussion. I know it’s not a freestyle. You all know it’s not a freestyle. Why is it labeled a freestyle? Anyways, Slaughterhouse are lyricsists, and nothing more. The only real big mainstream lyricist is Eminem. Wayne has his points where he spits some dope lyrics. T.I. is stepping his lyrical game up. And Lupe isn’t quite mainstream yet.
All that I’m waiting on is April 27th, when The Adventures of Bobby Ray releases. B.o.B is going to have a huge impact on hip hop, unlike Slaughterhouse. He’s going to have Coldplay, Weezer, Lupe, Eminem, and T.I. on his debut album. Slaughterhouse was lacking some support for their first album.
BOB won’t be making much of an impact. His single is ass.
Anyways, there’s two type of freestyles. Off the dome and pre-written shit.
I would not be proud of having Weezer on my album, those mother fuckers haven’t made a good song in like 8 years
Again, all four Slaughterhouse members rap about the same shit, on basically every song.
Jesus said this on February 14th, 2010 at 9:58 am
your an idiot are you serious listen to the lyrics man your an idiot!! have you listen to joe budden shit in my sleep pray for me that dude is known for not rapping wat niggas rap about just like all of them hating ass kid
hahaha oh shit crook you a fool.
this shit coo’.
@Chrome
you mad? I said basically every song, and Budden may not do it as much, but the other three always talk about the same shit, but arguing with Slaughterhouse fans is like arguing with Wayne fans, because no matter what, they’re never going to hop off those dicks.
4 Horsemen > Slaughterhouse. It is close but you can’t put Kurupt, Ras and Canibus on the same team and expect many to beat them. Crooked and Royce are some of the greatest though. Joel is OK and Budden is wack.
The concept of Slaughterhouse > the actual product delivered by Slaughterhouse. The album they put out is ass.
owl city is gay.
jesus hey wat do zyou want them to talk about songs for girls idiot sorry for the name calling but lets do the hip hop recap big pun tupac biggie kool g rap big l hey idiot they all rapped about the same thing its just crooked is more consistent dude never spit a wack verse ever period!
As men in 2010, it is all good. Because we can all agree to disagree and no one gets their panties tied in a bunch. We are all alpha males.
people call tupac and big the goats and if you say they aint rap about the exact same shit 95% of the time. you lying.
They atleast switched up the way they rapped about it, these guys sound the same on every single song. In ten years nobodies gonna give a shit about Slaughterhouse, so whats the point of even talking about it. Im done arguing, especially with someone who sounds as retarded as chrome45 does.
If this beat wasn’t already to a song, it would’ve been sick. like if it was the first time hearin the beat. but since it isn’t, its just hotter lyrics to a cute tune
dude does his thing thing on this track, and its funny cuz jus HAVING FUN on records is what good music is! chill 101 haters
Jesus you know im right to tupac to big l n big pun they all spit on the same subjects but just more lyrical than others even to jay z fuking idiots dont listen to how ill crooked i is fuking wordplay is like no other 3000 tracks all nice!! n when he wants to go political or spit stories hes great do your research or fuk it just keep listening to the radio there you would go ahead n enjoy some creativity hahahahahaha hating ass people show me one wack verse from crooked or chino xl or rest of slaughterhouse one! could even go bak to his deathrow days my dude
hes just having fun in the booth giving us listeners!!! free shit for our enjoyment every week evry week! new shit for free tell me another nigga that do that with the fire shit he says besides the rest of slaughterhouse lol hating ass kid for free for us mannn its all about how nice your verse is shit that make you rewind to eminem on renegade to Canibus destroying beast from east on redman shit know your shit homie before u talk thtas it im done ranting!!
Nigga, there is a reason he has to give his shit away for free.
Give me a nice original Crooked song. An album. He´s been in the game for like what? 16 years or so and no album out? What is that..
crooked i is the fuckin truth!!!!!!!!!!!
jesus jesus hesus do you really want me to put all the ill original songs i just dont understand why you hating really dude theres 100s of other horrible rappers you could do that to this man puts his heart and hes fuking lyrical crooked is fuking good just enjoy him thats all bye n heres a few songs you should do your research n see how many mcs he chewed up n spit out in his featurings but here a couple song dude have you heard If you ever hear me! or his last mixtape also this is my life dude listen to this case close or dream big or mudering mcs man i could go on forever
^^^^^^^^^^^
I’ve got a feeling that you used to ride the short bus to school.
naw atually very educated street dude. just listen to him trying to give you something you dont know about
16 years is too long not to have an album out. Come on son! People would rather have a dope album over a bunch of freestyles. That’s the truth. He should’ve been leaked at least 3 of his deathrow albums.
Good shit! This is fun like how hip hop used to be!
Go get’em Crooked!
wow people saying slaughterhouse rapping about the same shit obviously don’t listen to the lyrics, im not on there dicks so don’t be saying that shit, crooked is a beast not like he used to be but hes still fuckin nasty and we all know he hasn’t had an album out but look where he is without an album man, look how much haters and fans he has without 1 single album out, i think thats crazy, i don’t mind him not puting an album out cuz he puts out new music alot, he needs to come back with hip hop weekly again
yes progression!
This is fucking horrible.
The fact that he would rap over something like this is further proof that rappers are lame assholes, especially when it comes to other genres of music.
Just a bunch of hacks that will not survive.
tears don’t lie, this hit me right. appreciate.
slaughterhouse is a bunch of never-going-to-bes trying to act tight..shut up and make something decent
*hands in late pass*
say what you want about him using this beat, (which i personally see as awesome, this shit goes) but the bars are good and he stays on the beat well like he always does
