no.

The big confusion is people think lyrical rapper could easily make a catchy club song , but more often then not they come off sounding corny and out of place hence why backpack rapper have to do "mock-club bangers" if they try this avenue. The Game essential is a rapper with as much skill as crooked I who can make music that is more entertaining

Doubt it. Game is a much more marketable MC. Best gangsta rapper, and one of the best MC's period, to come out of Cali since 2000.

no because that's not his lane.
lyrically he is good but I couldn't see him transitioning into the mainstream in this climate, he missed his chance of blowing in the 90's.


game is much more marketable also.

He's a better spitter but he has no idea what people want to hear. Game is a good spitter and has some idea.

Agree with the first part, but Game has nowhere near to as much skill as Crooked I when it comes to spitting. Dude is able to use the same cliched namedrops over and over and still make songs that people want to nod their heads to. Making club bangers and just pure spitting are two different talents.

Yes he would be just as big if he were in Game's shoes. Wearing someone's shoes doesn't change your bodyfat percentage.

You guys have no idea and have nowhere to judge from out of this theory, no way in hell can you tell and low key, Crooked does have some charisma and is a funny dude at times so if he was marketted right, I would believe he'd do well beyond what game has done thus far :takedat:

If he were given the same opportunities that game had early in his career?

No

Because he has good versus, but doesn't make good songs,

There's nothing worse than someone laughing at there own jokes.especially when they're not funny

I think he could have blown up around 97-00. The market is just different now and he doesn't have the certain set of skills to blow up. He's a top lyricist but he doesn't have the total or even the half package to become marketable
