KXNG Crooked shouts out Eminem for not losing his lyricism.
KXNG Crooked recently took to his Twitter where he shouted out mainstream rappers who are still lyrical. “I like mainstream rappers who are still a high-level threat on the microphone.. Like when Kobe won rings and still pulled up to Rucker Park ready for whatever,” he wrote.
Following his post, a fan responded with an example of Eminem. “One of the many reasons I love Eminem is his ability to hit the mainstream but also finds ways to be underground and reach a wide audience,” he wrote.
“You work your way up to a position where you have Dr. Dre, Jimmy Iovine and millions of dollars behind you.. It’s very easy to lose your fangs as an emcee in that scenario.. Marshall never lost his fangs.. He’s still a lyrical threat,” responds Crooked.

Over the year, Crooked and Eminem collaborated on many songs, with most recently on “Music To Be Murdered By” Album, on the song “I Will” which also featured Royce da 5’9″ and Joell Ortiz. “That song [I Will] was a joint we did a long time ago,” revealed Royce. “Em just went back through it, cause he does that sometimes. Especially if we go to his studio to record it, nobody will take a copy of it. It’ll be something that exists in his world. When he called me and told me that he wanted to use it, I was like f**k, I know he ain’t gonna let me change my verse. But then I heard my verse and thought, okay, that’s cool.”
