"Giving sight to the blind, in the dark my recital will shine a light in your mind, like God's cypher divine. Imma fight for my kind, people surviving the grind, with a sniper designed rifle aligned right for your mind"!!!!!!!
"In the streets I put my life on the line. In the sheets I put my life in them lines. Crooked reciting these rhymes. Giving sight to the blind. In the dark my recital will shine light in your mind! Like I cypher divine!" No Chill man.
“Every listener is a captive until I finish the verse “. Damn that’s fire right there. He’s holding us all captive and putting a microphone to our heads.
Crooked I = The most talented lyricist and my personal favorite artist of all time. And everybody that knows me also knows i feel this way! :) Loved the instrumental too.
My #1 freestyle performance ever. Crooked… the live music made this another realm of skill & flow from the musicians and the artists…#LEGENDARY real shit
I never get sick of hearing my West Coast Brother shred the mic. Now, his Brothers are doing the same thing....Get it family. SUTT SUTT. C.O.B is always in this house.....
Man if they didn't show the words "Mixed Marshall Artists" on the screen right after that Eminem reference I would have totally missed it. He killed that!
Fuck I'm missed that. Dude got mad talent. And I've been on this from day one. I was just on crooked and that white chicken that looked like she was ready to burst him.
"fire department here what's your emergency?" "It's Crooked I again ..." seriously. this is massive. Crooked I (KXNG Crooked..) is a monster on the mic
Long-Beach Lyrical Legend. Man this Brings me back to the Old Old Wake up Show, I remember the first time I heard Crooked back in the day, Talent was undeniable. Love how they put a mix of all the old ish together...
As far as rapping goes: for sure. But as someone who has tried crooked solo stuff: he isnt really bringing anything but bars. Not a lot of interesting song concepts in his catalogue and his hooks often are lackluster. That said: when it comes to rapping about rapping almost nobody can touch him.
Michiel Prak dude.. crooked kept death row alive.. if you check writing credits, crooked has way more bangers than Drake.. crooked ghost writ when Drake hired ghost writers..
@@foreverhiddenpabz my website hasn't worked for a few years lol but yea I was there n if nobody believes that search J.Terrible Wake Up Show. My performance was a few guys before Crooked I... He also told me I had a gift when it came to storytelling n to keep at it cuz it's a lost form in Hip Hop these days...
It's funny I've never actually compared Crook to Jay, but not even Jay could touch Crook's level. Capturing inspiration is one thing, but to transform it into a fire rhyme scheme on the spot. Only person I seen do that is Charlie Clips when he mad...
crook hid tears sway was struggling to even speak its 2021 my first time hearing this and cadence, wordplay aside the emotion behind crooks gratitude being a god yet still shows love to the ones pushing them out on a platform to expand. now look at crooked hes got cob on lock em has the utmost elite firesquad under him.
One of my all time favorite mc, wordplay and delivery is so witty and delivery is fresh every time he spits, been rocking this dude's music since forever, and big homie never fell off not once. Crooked I and Papoose over the last ten years made it possible for me to continue to be a fan of rap music.
Zakariia I recommend everything. His work with Slaughterhouse, his freestyles ( he made a lot.) Few of my favorites are Hard In the Paint and Fireflies remix of his. I really like his Snoop Dogg diss aswell. And the original wake up show verse, which wasn't what he was rapping here.
I dug this dudes flow and rhymes when I first heard him on an Ashanti record back in the ealy 2000's , instantly strated following him, had been a west coast hiphop head since the 90's but hadnt heard him, Was a fan ever since.

I love Crook's unpredictable multi syllabic rhyming
This is easily one of the most incredible displays of talent I’ve ever seen. Astonishing.

My pen game is sick, call it penicillin.Since sky is the limit, this the flow that can kill a ceiling.

We need more videos like this. Live band, true lyricist. Crook is very underrated in the game.
Facts.
Yes! Check out 'Big Krit & Grillade - Hometown Hero'. Also, another dope concept 'Nyle - Let the best build'
Unbelievable!🔥🔥🔥 and we’ve got Anderson Paak on drums!?! Love it!
You can tell he was getting emotional at points when he was rapping.. shit was fucking fire. Best rapper ALIVE.

"fire department here what's your emergency?"
"It's Crooked I again ..."

The emotion when king crook raps is amazing.

Long-Beach Lyrical Legend. Man this Brings me back to the Old Old Wake up Show, I remember the first time I heard Crooked back in the day, Talent was undeniable. Love how they put a mix of all the old ish together...
So much respect for Crooked. True Lyricist

Nearing end of 2021 and we still here
@@adarshsuvarna3869 2022!
Crook's bars fireee. And the beat wow, these guys are talented. Had to come back to it after 4 years
"Slaughterhouse a mix between an energy drink and Tyra/ Four Headed Monster" SMH THAT was ILL
Dude that shit got me. Crooked is crazy man
crooked a beast and a tru west coast legend he bin there for minute
Crooked I is one of the most slepted on artist in the business. Em knw wht it is. Crooked I u sick wit it bro. I fuck wit u bro.
I know right!
I just love how the instrumental guys were anticipating the end of his verse that beat was marvellous
Upsolutley fire the original west coast Crooked I .From SMK in South Africa
That was the dopest freestyle I've ever heard. EVER HEARD
Literally 10000x more talented than Drake
💯
As far as rapping goes: for sure. But as someone who has tried crooked solo stuff: he isnt really bringing anything but bars. Not a lot of interesting song concepts in his catalogue and his hooks often are lackluster.
That said: when it comes to rapping about rapping almost nobody can touch him.
Still rocking hip hop weekly till this day.
BEAST!!!!!
Crooked is the kinda guy that won't make a good mainstream song but will roast you if he just has to rap for the sake of rapping.
Michiel Prak dude.. crooked kept death row alive.. if you check writing credits, crooked has way more bangers than Drake.. crooked ghost writ when Drake hired ghost writers..
My nigga said a four headed monster, lol
Aw man. So good. I think Crooked I should put out a whole album with this band. Sounds tight.
Crooked I is one of the few rappers that can match Eminem multi-syllabic rhyming delivery.
Through expression and speech, I'm the essence of each, OG before me, they gave me lessons to teach 💯
wow.. snapped. before he even stepped in you could see him feeling it
3:59 that girls look.
She is like....WTF!!! Damn Crooked is a beast!
Lawl look at her after the line "you cut my leg I put a shoe on the third one" She got mad love forTHE KXNG
Is that Carmelita?
The fire still burns in 2018!!
Rawest shit I've seen in person out of all the shows I've been to! Just to be right there and that close to a legend was humbling...
bullshit u just behind the computer like us mike
Would like to bet and put some money on that?
Here I'll save you some money check www.jterrible.com. watch my video from that day and tell me I wasn't there haha

One of the best freestyles I’ve ever heard!
"And if you listen to this ill spit in your whip it will leave you car sick" King Crooked way better than your top 10 fave rappers.
He’s better than your favorite rapper
... but he is my favorite
I'm just coming back because the G.O.A.T. killed this !!!
Just started listening to him, but I have QUICKLY become a HUGE FAN!! ❤️
You have missed alot
And this is why I love hip hop... Elite MC, Master of Ceremony. Too many quotables. "OGs before me, gave me lessons to teach."
Breezy love joy A.K.A Andseron Paak on the drums ya'll!!!
It's funny I've never actually compared Crook to Jay, but not even Jay could touch Crook's level. Capturing inspiration is one thing, but to transform it into a fire rhyme scheme on the spot. Only person I seen do that is Charlie Clips when he mad...
2:57 When she caught the bar and got the visual imagery lol.
I'm so high /I fall up the stairs instead of down them.
I was stocking before it even became a marketing plan.... Target the heart of the fans like a archer was part of the plan #BARS
crook hid tears sway was struggling to even speak its 2021 my first time hearing this and cadence, wordplay aside the emotion behind crooks gratitude being a god yet still shows love to the ones pushing them out on a platform to expand. now look at crooked hes got cob on lock em has the utmost elite firesquad under him.
MAAAAAAAN!
AND THEY HAD .PAK on the drums!? This Wild man!!
Crooked I is the most savage MC I've ever heard
Crooked is a lunatic,stright dope,one of coldest,that performance is super good
This was insane for a freestyle. There were parts of the beginning that i couldn't tell if they were prewritten or not.
Its mixed with some of his older stuff as he was asked to spit that shit that helped kick this whole thing off
Love the live instruments... Damn that bass sounds good
Anderson Paak on the drums. 👀
When you mention Lyricists Crooked I on that lists
Witness real hiphop.
This Shit Is Still So Fire
2023 and still better than most music these days
One of my all time favorite mc, wordplay and delivery is so witty and delivery is fresh every time he spits, been rocking this dude's music since forever, and big homie never fell off not once. Crooked I and Papoose over the last ten years made it possible for me to continue to be a fan of rap music.
Can you recommend any tracks with Crooked I??
Zakariia PSALM MIXTAPE
Zakariia I recommend everything. His work with Slaughterhouse, his freestyles ( he made a lot.) Few of my favorites are Hard In the Paint and Fireflies remix of his. I really like his Snoop Dogg diss aswell. And the original wake up show verse, which wasn't what he was rapping here.
I dug this dudes flow and rhymes when I first heard him on an Ashanti record back in the ealy 2000's , instantly strated following him, had been a west coast hiphop head since the 90's but hadnt heard him, Was a fan ever since.
murdered this shit.....straight up lyrics
2019 still bumping my nigga king crooked
The best in the game hands down. KXNG CROOKED
Crook killed it
That's a real mc.
I come here often to listen to this!! 🔥🔥
dude the best lyricist nowadays man!!!hands down!!
Shout out to the girl in the front, she was in the zone man ahahaha
West Coast savior!!!!!!
My favorite MC. I love this dude.
can we please appreciate how dope it is that the band stops playing when he says "UNPLUG!!!!!!!!!" 1:50
"Yo when that Slaughterhouse album coming? Soon? February?...HOPEFULLY, February!" It's been 84 years, Sway...
I paint any town red because it is art of war! (crooked I)
Exactly this is how you freestyle on unplugged. Damn that’s dope, sick and fire at the same time.
Crook is a Legend.
Still have the "chair de poule" every time i listen that ,he is my favorite rapper ! hope we can se you in Montreal!!💚
Crooked I, best rapper to ever live. The West Coast Savior
