Crooked I Speaks On Kendrick Lamar’s Verse
C.O.B. Radio host Crooked I tackles Kendrick Lamar’s controversial “Control” verse. After not making the cut onto Big Sean’s upcoming Hall Of Fame LP, the G.O.O.D. Music artist decided to leak the track which features Lamar and Jay Electronica. After aiming his cross hairs at his peers and proclaiming himself the “King of New York,” the world of Hip Hop has been turned upside down and the Slaughterhouse MC decides to weigh in on the situation.
Crooked I points out that not one rapper who was named directly by Lamar has even responded and explains how the TDE rapper’s verse has ignited an appreciation for lyricism in Hip Hop once again. As the first rapper to respond to Kendrick, Crooked talks fellow Slaughterhouse member Joell Ortiz’s lyrical comeback and dispels any rumors that the West Coast doesn’t boast some of the finest lyricists in the rap game. The Long Beach native also says Tupac was the last true “King of the West” and announces he would like to see Slaughterhouse and TDE combine forces for a powerhouse collaboration.

Weslyn “Mama Wes” Monroe, the mother of the late Pimp C, is believed to have passed away this morning. The news has come out thanks to a picture taken by Pimp C’s partner in UGK, Bun B, who added the following caption in tribute:
“Thanks to everyone that has sent prayers and condolences. She was a great woman. Nurture us from boys to men and made us strong enough to handle this industry. She was the one that kept us going when we didn’t wanna go anymore. She was the backbone of UGK, the definition of loyalty, the personification of unconditional love and the essence of what being Trill really meant. She’s finally reunited with her son. God bless you both. RIP Mama Wes. You gave everything to make us Underground Kings.”
Monroe has reportedly been battling a serious illness and has spent the last few days in a Port Arthur hospital. Meanwhile, this coming December will mark the sixth year since Pimp C died in a Los Angeles hotel room.
