"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.
"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"!!!!!!!
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.
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.....
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
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.
"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...
@@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...
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.
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...
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.
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.
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..
Anyone who says "it's written, Crooked I is garbage" etc. So what, it's written. I challenge you to write a better verse than this and you know how much time I will give you? The rest of your life. Do that before you comment some disrespectful shit.
Legend one of the best ever. If u think not go listen to his weekly's for 2018 & 2019 and he will move up your top rappers list of all time 4 real, real recognize real just putting those who don't know on game 100. Keep rapping Kxng Crooked west coast international spitter representing real rap. Making rip Biggie & Pac proud. Yes sir!
This shit is fire. Whoever did the caption was all jacked up tho. Crazy part is he spit verses from 2008 & it was still better than most rappers in their prime & in these newer years. Nasty
I love Crook's unpredictable multi syllabic rhyming
This is easily one of the most incredible displays of talent I’ve ever seen. Astonishing.
❕️

Nooooo chill what so ever the kingggg
“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.
Chillssss
It flows way better the way he said it. "Every listener's a prisoner til I finish the verse"
"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"!!!!!!!
haha damn I could tell Crooked was running out of breath but he still pulled it off one of the best spitters out
My pen game is sick, call it penicillin.Since sky is the limit, this the flow that can kill a ceiling.
Roopam K he repeated this line
@@cydre3401 he was aksked to spit some old rhymes
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'
This is absolutely amazing
You can tell he was getting emotional at points when he was rapping.. shit was fucking fire. Best rapper ALIVE.

I was dead when he said Genghis Kahn, I was all like "Genghis Kahn nigga!!!"
This is intense. Fact.
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.....
The whole package! The entire thing was incredible, the musicians and crooked of course
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
Every listeners a prisoner till I finish the verse is one of the sickest lines ever. Crook us a killa
R.I.P To that mic. Just retire it now haha. Hands down the Best.
I am a simple man, i see Crook i press play
The emotion when king crook raps is amazing.
Here after inteview with Tech N9ne! Sick Freestyle!
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.
So much respect for Crooked. True Lyricist

That was the dopest freestyle I've ever heard. EVER HEARD
I just love how the instrumental guys were anticipating the end of his verse that beat was marvellous
crooked a beast and a tru west coast legend he bin there for minute
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...

Croocked i is one of the greatest ever
can we please appreciate how dope it is that the band stops playing when he says "UNPLUG!!!!!!!!!" 1:50
Amazing
And this is why I love hip hop... Elite MC, Master of Ceremony. Too many quotables. "OGs before me, gave me lessons to teach."
Aw man. So good. I think Crooked I should put out a whole album with this band. Sounds tight.
wow.. snapped. before he even stepped in you could see him feeling it
Through expression and speech, I'm the essence of each, OG before me, they gave me lessons to teach 💯
MAAAAAAAN!
AND THEY HAD .PAK on the drums!? This Wild man!!
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.
"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
One of the best underrated lyricists in the game. I wish Crooked I got way more credit than he deserves.
One of the best freestyles I’ve ever heard!
Upsolutley fire the original west coast Crooked I .From SMK in South Africa
i must be contributing to at least 1% of the views
Nobody gives a dang bud
The fire still burns in 2018!!
I'm just coming back because the G.O.A.T. killed this !!!
Breezy love joy A.K.A Andseron Paak on the drums ya'll!!!
Just started listening to him, but I have QUICKLY become a HUGE FAN!! ❤️
You have missed alot
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
thats how you fucking rap
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...
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

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!
"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 so high /I fall up the stairs instead of down them.
2:57 When she caught the bar and got the visual imagery lol.
dude the best lyricist nowadays man!!!hands down!!
Whoa! Just stumbling on this and...hold up, is that Anderson .Paak on drums?? I see "A.P." in the band members. Sure does look like him!
Glad you listen to good music
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.
CROOKED WILL SHIT ON JAY Z

This is one of the, if not the greatest proper genuine freestyle have ever seen Damn crooked is a legend
Love the live instruments... Damn that bass sounds good
Crooked is a lunatic,stright dope,one of coldest,that performance is super good
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.
cut off my leg I'll put a shoe on my third one
When you mention Lyricists Crooked I on that lists
Exactly this is how you freestyle on unplugged. Damn that’s dope, sick and fire at the same time.
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
Still have the "chair de poule" every time i listen that ,he is my favorite rapper ! hope we can se you in Montreal!!💚
This is unreal,pure hip hop at its finest
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..
Anyone who says "it's written, Crooked I is garbage" etc. So what, it's written. I challenge you to write a better verse than this and you know how much time I will give you? The rest of your life. Do that before you comment some disrespectful shit.
