Crooked I - Writing On Paper Is Better Than Writing In Your Head

[Ultraliskification]

I don't know, but MCs who sit and write down their lyrics, like crooked I or Eminem, have really smooth flow, complex rhymes and contents

[GioV45]

Tell me. Why write something to edit or correct? When you rap without writing, your in your mind, in your world, not doubting. Writing rap on paper is if you don't have the drive to save or retain what you have thought of. In my opinion, it is better to keep it ideal. If you write, you criticizing your thoughts so as to make it presentable to everyone else instead of just yourself.

[MrMegaTHC]

@GioV45 yeah but if you dont want it to sound like shit...than you write it down. and you can constuct more complex shit to blow peoples minds.

[DominicanPrinc3]

what song is that @ the end? please help :-/

[Ultraliskification]

@DominicanPrinc3 Sickology 101 by Tech N9ne, feat. Crooked I and Chino XL

[fulicny85]

i really think it's preference. i don't think ur necessarily BETTER for NOT writing. BUT, i personally cannot stand writing shit down because it takes too much time and you lose ur train of thought. i think people's brains just work differently, and u gotta do what works for you. i see how pen and pad emcee's or rap fans are impressed with mentally constructed raps because they don't fathom the process. but it just becomes fluid and comfortable at a certain point for some people.

[Ston3d42O]

@fulicny85 he's not saying it makes you better hes saying when you write it down, more thought and meaning goes into it than off the top of your head

[wwesuperstar1234]

@fulicny85 Yeah your're definitely not better just because you write, it's the outcome that counts not how it happened. But writing lyrics down seems better to me just because it's easier to remember (for me anyway)

all you need is a good engineer and you dont have to write on paper. you write on the mic

[EpiicLiines]

Well the ones he calls his "freestyles" sound better to me.

[boozaaa]

@EpiicLiines I'm pretty sure he writes his freestyles. Just because its called a freestyle doesn't mean its off the dome. That's only one meaning for a freestyle the other is a song without a concept or chorus usually about random topics. Usually over someone elses beat and usually using punchlines.

[JChoi6585]

@boozaaa nah you'd be surprised at how many verses crooks done without writing shit down. most of his hhw's were done like that.

[JChoi6585]

crook is your favorite rappers, favorite rapper.

[boozaaa]

@JChoi6585 You stole that from Murs, but nah that statement is way false, but we can wish huh? I wish dude had more recognition and respect like he deserves, but he still has to drop his first LP and he's been in the game for more than 10 years that shit sounds crazy.

[JChoi6585]

@boozaaa umm murs??? lmao

[boozaaa]

@JChoi6585 umm yes?

[JChoi6585]

@boozaaa umm no. murs did not invent the saying fyi.

[boozaaa]

@JChoi6585 I never said he invented it, I just thought you took it from his song "Better than the Best" and I don't think Murs is the best...hell no. Crooked's better than Murs. How would you rank Slaughterhouse?

This would be my ranking:

1.) Crooked I

2.) Royce Da 5'9"

3.) Joell Ortiz

4.) Joe Budden

[JChoi6585]

@boozaaa nope i don't even listen to murs.

[boozaaa]

@JChoi6585 alright. Crooked's dropping 2 older albums....an LP and probably a 2nd Slaughterhouse album. 2010 is Crooked's year if only more people would know it. Peace.

[LloydBanks4Life1]

@boozaaa if crooked i is droppin a solo album in 2010, him n banks will take the year. crooked is better by himself.

[804186443]

@boozaaa thats a waqck artist list

[boozaaa]

@804186443 what the fuck are you talking about?

[804186443]

@boozaaa sounds like a nigger is trying question me?

[boozaaa]

@804186443 alright troll, what are you talking about "waqck artist list"? you make no sense. racist too I see and I'm not even black. you can't even spell wack, go read a little buddy.

[Sagefrakrobatik]

@boozaaa How you figure? Why do you say that?

[boozaaa]

@Sagefrakrobatik How do I figure, what?

[Sagefrakrobatik]

@boozaaa That Crooked is better than MURS?

[boozaaa]

@Sagefrakrobatik I think Crooked is better lyrically than Murs, but hasn't put out anything better than Murs.

[whackpiktures]
