I know I had it hard with 4 siblings and my father was never at home coz he was working.

But when dudes be working hard, sleeping hard and then earning hard trynna provide the best for the family by doing what they do best we start fuckin cussing, this was one interview, he probably broke it down for an easy read, what im tryna say is why we always cuss, whether rich or poor we all equals, if he rappin for food on the tabel then big up to the guy, he doing wot hes good at. Respect!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Why do people rap.. coz they got a story to tell. why when 1 rapper tells his we just cuss him.

Life can be a bitch sometimes mayne. People can have paper one minute and not the next which could have been the case here. I doubt dude wants to say that he lived in a fuckin car. True, for some people selling drugs is a lifestyle, but for others it's just means to make ends meet. I got homeboys with jobs that hustle on the side. Them niggas don't want to have to resort to that or do that forever, but YES bills need to get paid hommie. Just be thankful you don't have to make that choice and have other options. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That said, Crooked is a beast on the microphone and honestly I can't name one artist that can go toe to toe with him east, west, or south.

What you have to understand is that times have changed. Rap back in the days highlighted inner city injustices and it was a way to reflect on issues as a means of getting away with them with a smile on yer face. Rap changed and then so did lifestyles. Now rap glorifies gunz, drugs, bitches, hos' etc. And so people change, i got 5 people in the area that i live in selling crack, cocaine, heroin, budda, chronic you name it they got, why? not because they wanna put food on the table but because they wanna glorify the materialistic gains from dat shit. They want money cars, respect, they can be ugly motherfuckers but get the best bitches whateva, rap has glorified that so they wanna do it to. But in crooks case aint nobody gonna fend for him, aint nobody gonna give him a free meal, aint nobody gonna give him cover from the rain or a blanket for bed, but himself. If he didnt go through that shit he wont say so, but if he didnt go through that shit then he wouldnt say so otherwise. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;No offence im Pakistani homes, but i hear parts of what you saying. In the end the fact is, he is one great rap artist!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Peace &amp;nbsp;(Im pakistani by the Way)</description></item><item><title>re: Crooked I: The Life &amp;amp;amp; Times Of Crooked I, Pt. 1</title><link>http://allhiphop.com/stories/features/archive/2008/05/28/19961609.aspx#19971098</link><pubDate>Thu, 29 May 2008 18:15:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19971098</guid><dc:creator>NewWest-310</dc:creator><description>@Brierstan&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You &amp;amp; SagNasty989 was having a nice discussion and then you went &amp;amp; fucked it up by sayin &amp;quot;I aint black, so dont call me Nigga.&amp;quot; You dont have to be black to be called nigga.

I could give you ten tracks to download off the top of my head - just let me know i'll list'em for you. And I noticed you left The Game out of your examples. You can't deny him.

LYRICALLY he's shitting on Wayne. Wayne ain't sayin nothing on the mic anymore and it don't sound like he gives a shit either. LYRICALLY I don't see how anyone would think Wayne is better than Crooked, hype and attention yes, but not that real shit that niggas is lookin for nowadays. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Wayne is making microwave rap right now. The nigga even tell you it don't take him no time to do a song. In the booth one minute and out the next. Nigga I believe it! Hahaha! Shit sounds like hot boo boo. Some of these niggas need to quit thinkin they Hov and pick that pen and pad up again. I'm tired of hearing retarted raps. Maybe it's just me. I'm from the west coast so I could be a lil biased. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;@SagNasty989 &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Perception is reality to the perciever. If that's what you see and what you've been through then that is what it is. I ain't gone defend that lifestyle because wrong is wrong, but life ain't always just black and white. Niggas have grey moments in life too...LOL! Don't make it right, it just makes it life and in order to get right you have to have been wrong at some point to be corrected. Life experiance. That said, I don't know where anybody is on they journey to correction in life. I just stay in my own lane and concetrate on the shit I need to fix in my own life.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;All that to say Crooked I or any MC for that matter, right or wrong has the right to talk about their experiances. If we think the MC is worth supporting we'll do that, if not, then we won't. That's what all this interview shit is for. To get the artist exposure; and from what I've heard form Crooked I the last year compared to a lot of this other shit I've heard from east,south, or west...This nigga's ready for the PRIME TIME. Cut the check already.</description></item><item><title>re: Crooked I: The Life &amp;amp;amp; Times Of Crooked I, Pt. 1</title><link>http://allhiphop.com/stories/features/archive/2008/05/28/19961609.aspx#19981695</link><pubDate>Fri, 30 May 2008 19:43:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19981695</guid><dc:creator>richie sick</dc:creator><description>@Pilly Da Kid said&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;first off, i got nothin but love for the south. nothin but family and friends down there. &amp;nbsp;and my favorite group of all-time is ugk. &amp;nbsp;(RIP C)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;whats your definition of trap muzik? &amp;nbsp;to me, it has killin and dope dealin in it, which is an offshoot of gangsta music.</description></item><item><title>re: Crooked I: The Life &amp;amp;amp; Times Of Crooked I, Pt. 1</title><link>http://allhiphop.com/stories/features/archive/2008/05/28/19961609.aspx#19983192</link><pubDate>Fri, 30 May 2008 22:35:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19983192</guid><dc:creator>Pilly Da Kid</dc:creator><description>@ New West: Nobody said that my list complete. (Don't confuse inaccurate with incomplete. The hype came from all directions, including allhiphop.com, XXL, and LA niggas themselves. Everybody on the list was amped up to be next nigga to hold Cali down. Right now, Spider Loc, Crooked I, and that Mitchy Slick nigga are on deck. Game is the only nigga doing anything in Cali. (And as for the shot you took at Atlanta, I laughed. Atlanta got a nigga coming out every 30 seconds. Some niggas are whack, some are not. This conversation is about Cali niggas right now, not Atlanta niggas, so stick with the subject. Like I said we all know who got it. Hip-hop ain't dead, it lives in the South!)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;@ Richie Sick: (RIP PIMP C) We truly lost one of the truest Southern soldiers right there. Trap muzik, which we were refer to as drug dealer music down here is damn near equally bad. But no matter what, I am not co-signing music that has the same murder-a-nigga-message every fucking song. Cali niggas also have to stop imitating Pac. Real talk, Southern niggas do it to.&lt;br&gt;@ Tha1&amp;amp;only: Think what you want about Wayne. He's the hottest nigga period. His record is poised to serious NUMBERS which speaks for itself in this day and age of downloaded music and file sharing. As far as his &amp;quot;microwave style of writing lyrics&amp;quot;, you would agree that some niggas are truly talented in their art right? Creative processes among niggas will vary greatly. I could give a fuck less about the process, it's the finished product that I am concerned with. If you dissing Little Wayne, that's cool with me. I don't get paid off of Wayne, but right now, you are dissing half of the niggas that know Wayne got it; which would be at LEAST half of all hip-hop listeners.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;@ All you niggas. Here's a list of Southern niggas that I fuck with. (ALIVE) No particular order.&lt;br&gt;Wayne&lt;br&gt;TI&lt;br&gt;Ross&lt;br&gt;Dre 3000&lt;br&gt;Juvenile&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Shout out to Gucci Mane, the trap muzik king!&lt;br&gt;Shout out to Pastor Troy for keeping it OFF the radio!&lt;br&gt;We need the Pre-Ying Yang Twin/Usher LITTLE JOHN back! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Crooked I: The Life &amp;amp;amp; Times Of Crooked I, Pt. 1</title><link>http://allhiphop.com/stories/features/archive/2008/05/28/19961609.aspx#19983243</link><pubDate>Fri, 30 May 2008 22:41:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19983243</guid><dc:creator>Kalibur1200</dc:creator><description>Crooked I Is A Beast....Anxious To See What This Dude Is Gonna Do.
