  I am not gonna front, Kendrick is cool and all. Just upset how they act like Crooked hasn’t been tryin to put the West back on the map for YEARS… No torch has been passed to him smdh… I think cause he beefed with these dudes for a period of time hahaha. Game needs to get off the nutz dude only been in the game for maybe 6 years lol. He trying to act like some “Vet” or some shit. I am lost for words…

      It’s a symbolic torch for fuck sakes calm down. It’s like winning a mtv award it means nothing at all and smart people realize this.
      - RandallA
        
        Some of yall need to calm down. All this really means is that Kendrick Lamar is ghost writing Detox. Probably the whole damn album.

    Well I know Snoop featured on Crooked Mr. Pigface Weaponswaist EP after their beef died down lol.
    @king It don’t matter about symbolic or whatever. My point isn’t even about that. Everything TruDAT at the bottom of the post is what I’m saying.

  Game saying his next cd is going to go platinum is about as true as Kendrick Lamar being the best on the west right now.

http://defsounds.com im-sorry-to-say-ur-a-hoe

Lamar and Cole and Slaughterhouse are the future of hip hop!!!!!
http://defsounds.com im-sorry-to-say-ur-a-hoe

damnn that is true,..what happen to crooked,..but honestly that was a easy robbery,..there something real legendary about kendrick,…he got the blood of pac in him,..he’ll be a legend when his time is over.
http://www.defsounds.com/members/mike-da-vinci/ Mike-Da-Vinci

He deserve it. i still feel section.80 album of the year
- http://beta.defsounds.com/members/tekk/ Tekk
  
  you mean after All 6′s and 7′s
  - http://www.defsounds.com/members/mike-da-vinci/ Mike-Da-Vinci
    
    nope
- http://www.defsounds.com/members/villan/ Villan
  
  ^^ the truth. Tekk i thought All 6s and 7s was album of the year too…until i heard Section.80.
  
  i think its too late to pass the torch Crooked, he doesnt need their blessings or w/e b/c hes already made a name for himself, he isnt a young up and comer like K-Dot. i do believe Crook and Kendrick are the 1, 2 of the West (and in due time possibly in hip hop as a whole as well) so i might jizz myself if they collab
  - http://www.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ Vagina Face
    
    Villan, I agree alittle. First of all let me say when has Game ever had a West Coast torch to pass lol? That dude is mediocre as all hell. Crooked I technically was the XXL freshman of 2008. He does not have much recognition himself and I highly doubt his MDS will sell much more than what Kendrick’s Section 80 has sold. Crooked could have used the publicity. Its just sad man and Game is literally Dre’s c-ck puppet… Dance puppet dance lol. Its whatever bro, but the only real recognition Crooked has is Slaughter signing to Shady and that is barely much.
    - http://www.defsounds.com/members/villan/ Villan
      
      completely agree.
      - http://www.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ Vagina Face
        
        Regardless Kendrick is DOPE, so atleast it isn’t to someone like Soulja Boy hahahah. I respect that…
    - http://www.defsounds.com/members/villan/ Villan
      
      now that you mention it, Em is pretty much the only one who’s given SH and its members any recognition, imo they should all sign as solo artists as well
      - http://www.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ Mr. VagFaceDildoWaist
        
        Word, I was hyped when I saw that video WF posted alittle while back about questions whether Budden was signing with Shady solo. We can only pray. Probably will hear similar news after the next SH album drops. See how well that does first. They slowly trying to push lyrics back into the light again. Its cool. lol
http://twitter.com/cj_musick_lawya Cj

good to see a good dude getting love from the west’s greatest… I bump that section 80 and that overly dedicated on the regular… kendrick is a talented dude.
- http://h DWHITE
  
  overly dedicated is art personified
TruDAT_416

okay i’m be fucking BLUNT about this Where is Crooked i if anybody here wanna say say about that crooked i should been there or at least been given some recognition literally crooked is from south beach n he has been produced track for n from dre and he can spit better than game n he been around as long as snoop himself literally if i feel a little disrespected about i wonder what crooked think lol beef in the making !!!
- http://www.facebook.com/cdavi3s cdeezy
  
  Word lol

  Double Word lol

Man, quit actin like Kendrick dont deserve this shit. Take the time out to listen to Section 80. Cuz honestly, Im a huge Slaughterhouse fan. But I still cant deny that Kendrick deserves this shit. Its a difference between being dope, and bein dope with a structure and a purpose, and youll know what I mean once you listen to Section 80.
- http://www.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ Mr. VagFaceDildoWaist
  
  Have you heard the HHWs or HHWRs? They aren’t just dope, but every other song has a VERY strong message. Its not SH vs Kendrick Lamar. Its about who the hell is Game to be passing a torch. Its about how the hell does Game have a torch. Its about why does Dre let Game ride his c-ck so hard. Anyhow I rebutted a bit and realized that Kendrick is dope and deserves it. Most of us are just stating the facts of how they did Crooked dirty thats all. Go listen to solo Crooked shit and then come back to me about who is doper with a structured purpose between him and Kendrick…
http://defsounds.com im-sorry-to-say-ur-a-hoe

kendrick will be doper then crooked,…bold comment but i am willing to put my mortgage on it,…(not much mortgage but my crib is still the shit),..its all about the whole package,…(y’all going to trash for bringing him up again) buts MC’s like cole and kendrick have it and they will flourish for it,..not to say crooked won’t but the beauty of it, is that slaughterhouse does hove the total package when they’re together when they break apart they’re all missing a little something, i think royce stands the best by himself BTW,..but each and everyone in slaughterhouse complements each other,…so they have the total package when they’re together
- http://www.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ Mr. VagFaceDildoWaist
  
  I propped you myself, but I would hold off on them comments until MDS drops. I still feel all Crooked’s Mixtapes and “albums” have some purpose and substance not just lyrical ability. Again HHW and HHWR series are all freestyles, but the mixtapes has alot of very meaningful shit. Not just Crooked saying, “Hey I’m the best emcee blah blah.” lol Royce has more substance then Crooked? I don’t agree with that though. Royce is more of a spitter. I haven’t heard much of a “Substance” track from Royce besides being a hot Emcee. I could be wrong tho.
Jeru

Yeah man we need unity in hip hop this was dope but it woulda even been better if crook was there too….and deadass only 32? lol then he must have only been like 19-20 when he signed with Death Row back in the day
- http://www.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ Mr. VagFaceDildoWaist
  
  Yea I’m reading his wiki right now actually lol. Kendrick is 24 Crooked 32. I also found out Dre and Paul reached out to Kendrick to do work on Detox and are “associated acts?”? That explains alot with this video and why Crooked was left out in the cold.
  
  http://tinyurl.com/4x2febf

    It’s official, Kendrick is ghost writting Detox.
NotYou

lol Game never had the torch? Documentary put the West back on the map, fools.
No disrespect to Crook or anything but why the fk should he get the torch?
Dude has been in the game for what, 15 years..he’s a big boy, he can handle himself.
Btw this is more like “yo, you’re the best west coaster from this new generation, Lamar”. It’s not “omg you’re the best on the west” cause I’m sure a few dudes wouldn’t agree with that.
Hell, even Game would probably say “f-ck Kendrick Lamar” lol
- http://beta.defsounds.com/members/holla-at-ya-boy/ Holla-At-Ya-Boy
  
  THIS..
  Crooked is a very good rapper but he havent really done anything, and game makes better tracks, has many classic. Documentary, Doctors Advocate is a classic to IMO, Lax is dope too, R.E.D, more than half of the album is dope
  - http://www.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ Mr. VagFaceDildoWaist
    
    I don’t wanna hear this shit. I can pull out a million tracks NOT freestyles that are nice Crooked has done. I can name 4 or 5 different mixtapes and EPs Crooked has released that are DOPER than EVERY Game album. Common now you 2, Game is just Dre f-ck friend and had the “Imaginary” West torch because of it. Not because Game actually made decent albums lol. The ONLY album I felt was decent was The Documentary. I dunno, sensitive bi-polar Game clearly stated Kendrick is the best on the west now even including himself, but its whatever. I know why it happened lol They trying to make Kendrick Dre’s new lap puppy. I get it lol
    - http://beta.defsounds.com/members/holla-at-ya-boy/ Holla-At-Ya-Boy
      
      I respect your opinion, but The Documentary and Doctors Advocate –> everything Crooked I has done.
      
      Go back listen to Doctors Advocate one more time, that shit is hot as fuck.
      
      I have listened to Crooked i mixtapes and Ep’s, dont get me wrong i LOVE Crooked I, i LOVE westcoast music but every mixtape i listened to with Crooked I l like, maybe 3-5 songs out of the whole mixtape, some of em is classic to me but the rest just dont caught my attention. That is of course just my opinion, but if you hate The Game, its just weird to read your opinion for me because you defend Crooked and hate Game. My opinion is while i like both of them, but is just aint fair to say what you just did say if you just dont like Game, because he has made lot of hot records, he could have made 2-3 classic albums with just leftovers and mixtape tracks that he did.
      
      LAX wasnt a classic but, had some classics and great tracks = Lax Files, State of Emergency, My Life, Money, Let Us Live, Never Can Say Goodbye, Dope Boys, Games Pain, Letter To The King and couple more hot records.
      
      Doctors Advocate is a classic IMO = Looking At You, Da Shit, Its Okay (One Blood), Remedy, Lets Ride, Too Much, Wouldnt Get far, One Night, Doctors Advocate, Ol English, California Vacation, Around The World, Why You Hate The Game. Fucking Classics.
      
      The Documentary, the whole album is hot = Classic
      
      R.E.D = aint that good as the other albums, but still has great tracks = The City, Drug Test, Martians Vs Goblins, Red Nation, Ricky, The Good, the Bad, the Ugly, Speakers On Blast, Pot Of Gold, Born In The Trap, California Dream, Basic Bitch.
      
      Just to point out that he makes quality music, and doesnt make a album like Drake did, i dont even wanna talk about all the classic songs that he made in the R.E.D Album era like Monsters In My Head, Rough, La Times, Lost, The King etc…. Or his older mixtapes.
      - http://www.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ Ron Paul 2012!
        
        I had bought The Documentary and Doctor’s Advocate. Soon as I tried to listen to the Advocate I stopped being a Game fan. The shit was whack to me and only had a few decent tracks due to the beats. Game is mediocre, grant it he been selling albums, but shit who hasn’t been on Interscope lol. He is the West’s Lil Wayne, lets be real.
Crosharu

I think thease old ass niggas been playing in the sand box as chidren to much. Passing the tourch. Thease dumb baStards really think the king shit means somthin. It so fuckin rediculas. Look at t.i. So called king dittin in a danm cell right now. That shit dont mean anything.
jstack$

yall trippin…im reading these comments about crooked iI….crooked iI aint new most of yall just kno him only from slaughterhouse he was going hard when deathrow was still out…if anything kendrick shoulda been mad crooked wasnt there with the rest of the west passing the torch..this is a dope video…WEST is back
ZBOSHAKE

Game will be dissin lmar less than a week from now. Turn coat undiagnosed bi-polar ass
http://www.defsounds.com/members/dedication3/ dedication3- thanks again jeff

Cosign the Ron Paul thing.
Out of all the comments DS trashes that one.

Mitt Romney = Obama 2.0
Rick Perry = Former campaign manager of Al Gore (in other words, a fraud)
Michelle Bachman = A frontrunner trying to act like the Tea Party Mom.

Ron Paul is the damn grandfather of the Tea Party. All of it’s principles are based off of the movement he’s been trying to create for 30+ years.

Newt Gingrich is for world government. Fraud.

If a candidate is for carbon taxes, most likely, he/she is a fraud. We need carbon dioxide to breathe, at no point should we ever be taxed for breathing. Global Warming is a bunch of BS and so are carbon taxes.

Ron Paul is the only answer. He’s being ignored by mainstream media.

And Kendrick Lamar is cool. Good for him.
- http://www.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ Mr. VagFaceDildoWaist
  
  Haha, WOW Carbon Taxes? Thats crazy. I thought that was myths and shit lol. Wasn’t sure though.
- http://www.defsounds.com/members/dedication3/ dedication3- thanks again jeff
  
  Yeah, they’re real.
  The Prime Minister of Australia ran her campaign on the promise that she wouldn’t implement a carbon tax.
  She broke that promise and lied about where the money was going.
  
  It turns out 10% of the tax money goes to the UN.
  I don’t have a deep understanding of it, I just know I don’t like it lol

    Wow… It is sad because most people that are your age or slightly older my age are “too cool” to watch and read shit about this. When its put into their faces they deny it all and call people conspiracy theorists. Anyway thats f-cking crazy.
  - http://www.defsounds.com/members/dedication3/ dedication3- thanks again jeff
    
    Yep. It’s partly by design (the media constantly covering pointless topics and ignoring real issues), and also people are just dumb. I personally believe that everything will come crashing down at some point, so I try to prepare for it.
    
    Read what Ron Paul said earlier this weekend about FEMA camps. Scary stuff.
    If you don’t know what FEMA camps are, watch this (45 min long):
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHb83VNijBM
    
    It’s “Conspiracy Theory” by Jesse Ventura. Alex Jones makes an appearance.
    It was the highest rated episode ever, and after it debuted, the television network didn’t allow it to air anymore. They usually get thousands and thousands of views for reruns smh.
    - http://www.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ Ron Paul 2012!
      
      I know what Fema camps are, but I did miss that Conspiracy Theory show. So I’m gonna watch it lol. Funny thing is there is a old Elementary school friend of mine on my FaceBook who has been making jokes about having a job getting FEMA camps ready. He is in the military or was not sure exactly, and he is about my age. I didn’t really talk to him about it though. Shit is strange thats all.
    - http://www.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ Ron Paul 2012!
      
      Did you happen to see last week’s Daily Show when Jon Stewart attacked Mainstream media like always on how they been ignoring Ron Paul. He has an on air interview set up with Ron in September. Sadly, even the Daily Show has been ignoring Ron along with the Colbert Report. Its all strange.
    - http://www.defsounds.com/members/dedication3/ dedication3- thanks again jeff
      
      Yeah, I did see that.
      Fox News hosts a debate and holds a poll on the website asking who won. Ron Paul wins with 61% of the vote. I head over to CBS and they have a winners/losers of the debate article. Ron Paul is listed as a LOSER for getting into an argument (a debate lol) with Rick Santorum where he completely owns him on our foreign policy. The crowd erupts with approval, but again, he’s a loser.
      
      Shit is ridiculous lol. It’s laughable because the same shit happened in 2008 and the ignorance is so predictable.

Kendrick Lamar has dropped one album. Section.80 is a great album. Crooked I has never put anything together half as good as it and thats a fact
Brandon Taylor

These three are irrelevant as fuck. None of them have made a hit record in about 5 years. Their time was to pass the tourch was about 10 years ago. Plus they passed it to the wrong person. No disrespect to K. Dot, but Crooked is The New West.
aoneal

crooked has nvr did anything to make himself stand out onthe west coast hes dope but hes nvr been tht dude out here … kendrick on the other hand i been watchn this dide grind since like 06 when jay rock put him tht watts finest vol 2 mixtape..kendrick msg is diff than wat the west is use to thts why i think they felt they had to pass the torch
jstack$

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=765250849 Guillermo Crosby

plz the west back lmfaooo, when the last time you heard a rapper out the west go platinum or eeven sold anything.
- CrystalMethod
  
  All of games albums have gone platinum.
  Check your facts.
http://www.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ Mr. VagFaceDildoWaist

I am not sure who is more Fake, Game or Santa? They both wear RED for NO Apparent REASON! smdh
HipHopKid

this nigga has the potential and the team to make it to the top of his shit without a doubt. now the only thing that would set him off the charts is another rap war. hip hop was bangin back when east and west coast had beef and with all these new rappers talkin bout where they bang
http://www.defsounds.com/members/villan/ Villan

pause. yeah no, Kendrick would make Em drop Cashis to give him a contract
http://www.defsounds.com/members/villan/ Villan

lol of all people to talk about other people dick riding haha
http://www.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ Mr. VagFaceDildoWaist

You say intelligent shit when you want too huh? lol nah, but the diss Crooked did towards DMX was pretty Classic. hahaha
Jeru

I love cole but lyrically he aint on kendricks level…..and i love crook prob most lyrical from the west but what fuckin torch is he passing? he DOESNT HAVE A SOLO ALBUM lol and crooked cant make a song by himself….he MURDERS freestyles and guest verses but lets be real he doesnt have many quality tracks.
http://www.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ Mr. VagFaceDildoWaist

Villain, Million Dollar Story, Mr. PigFace, Guess Who’s Back, One More Time, Pac & Biggie, Dream Big, and PLENTY of othe tracks that I don’t feel like naming on numerous EPs and Legit mixtapes. NOT just freestyles. It that same breath ask yourself what torch does Dre’s lap dog Game have to pass? lol Exactly. Only thing you said that is fact is he doesn’t have a legit solo album yet, but there are PLENTY of tracks besides just freestyles from the man. Check his solo work out…
Jeru

Crook has music since 95….the best you can give me is random tracks and tracks off EP’s ?? i know crooks catalog and i know the majority of his solo shit is mediocre he does have his share of good solo shit…but a lot of wack and mediocre shit…..guess whos back is wack btw lol but since he doesnt have an LP and hes like 36, he cant be passing torches without classic material. So if u really think about it Game probably is the most fit to pass the torch he does have 2 good albums one being a classic….who else guna pass the torch Ras kass? that dont make sense cuz he came out in 95 too……Blu? hes too new….so yeah i guess we’re stuck wit game whether we like it or not lol
http://www.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ Mr. VagFaceDildoWaist

You didn’t like Guess Who’s Back? Shits dope in my opinion either way. We will have to see when MDS drops if and when it drops hahaha. If it doesn’t drop I give up smdh
http://www.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ Mr. VagFaceDildoWaist

Villain and Million Dollar Story were both straight singles from the album… Everyday was ehhh…
Jeru

Word same here i hope it drops already…and yeah i loved villain and million dollar story but everyday didnt even sound like something crook would get on lol hope mds is a classic
http://www.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ Mr. VagFaceDildoWaist

Haha, your debating me on Youtube also lol Although he has been out since “95″ he hasn’t been recognized at all. Why havent they passed him a torch back then? He just made the Freshmen class in 08 giving him a bit of recognition. He is new regardless of how long he been out really. The whole thing just feels a bit shady to me thats all.
Jeru

Lol yeah nah i agree crook deserved a lot more promotion in his career he could have easily dropped a classic album if he had the right producers and a label that actually cared about him….as far as kendrick i just feel he’s lyrical as hell and i really fucced with section 80 and i also like overly dedicated….so right now i agree he’s the best young mc from the west coast and overall the best youngin in general to me
http://www.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ Mr. VagFaceDildoWaist

Either way you make valid points. As I already said either Kendrick or Crooked they both are good for hip-hop and strengthen it. So either way its all good. I agree completely. Crooked is only 32 lol.
http://www.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ Mr. VagFaceDildoWaist

I never had the chance to listen to Section 80, but I think you are making a VALID point Buck. I am listening to it now and its a drag lol. Any good tracks on this shit besides “Hii Power?” I remember hearing that shit awhile back here on Defsounds. I also understand completely now why these jackasses passed this invisible “New West” torch to Kendrick. He been working with these clowns on Detox and got a feature on Game’s mediocre Red album. They just recognizing him now as “Part of their crew.” Also this is a smack in Crooked’s face cause he been calling himself the “New West” for couple years now. Go listen to some of his freestyles like(Sittin Sideways).
http://beta.defsounds.com/members/holla-at-ya-boy/ Holla-At-Ya-Boy

Like i said before kendrick lamar had great lyrics but his music bores the shit outta me. And they should show some more love to crooked i, i like Game most and think he can make much better songs, but as a rapper i cant deny, Crooked i —> kendrick. Crooked i —> game, as a rapper.
http://www.defsounds.com/members/richard-fisher/ Mr. VagFaceDildoWaist

Agree completely bro
