I remember Snoop use to throw some straight salt at Crooked possibly because he was on Death Row and when that situation fell apart, Snoop started to lowball him.
Case and point with the Dub Cnn interview
Dubcnn: You hooked back up with Crooked I yet?
I ain't never really had no problems with cuzz.
Dubcnn: I mean have ya'll worked together recently?
Nah, me and him ain't never really like... To be real with you I ain't never really liked cuzz' rap-style.
Dubcnn: You serious?
I'm being real with you! It ain't never moved me like that. He wasn't like... To me, nikka, I had Kurupt on my team back in the days, cuzz! So if you weren't fukkin' with Kurupt...
Dubcnn: Crooked I can flow, he got the rap style down... He been waiting like eight years to put a record out, and he's still got a following.
Yeah but the thang is with him though, his base. Whenever you representing Long Beach, you can't go against Long Beach. So he fukked his off right there, off the top, even though I forgive him and I'm on that page... It's some nikkas from the hood that's like "nikka you not even from Long Beach!
And we let you claim Long Beach, and you diss Snoop Dogg for this nikka Suge?" So it's like, he fukked is off like that. A nikka like Tray Deee or Goldie Loc, they really from Long Beach, so nikkas really from the hood can get away with shyt. If you ain't from the hood, you can't get away with shyt
like that, cuzz, and think it's cool!
And I'm not tripping, but it's still nikkas that still feel like "Man, fukk that nikka." I'm putting it real right there so you will know what's happening. But people do what I do, so if I'm not tripping, ain't nobody tripping. I'm just saying, that is still on nikkas brains, because it's like, you're not even a real nikka, from the hood. And you went rolling with this nikka Suge, and try to push that Death Row shyt against Snoop Dogg, knowing that Snoop Dogg is the muthafukkin' man!
When I did that Pimp Slapp'd, like I said, you're just crumbs on my table, he knew exactly what I was talkin' about! Like I said, I check nikkas, I was dissing Suge, but I was checking them. I wasn't dissing them, even Kurupt! I didn't diss him, I checked him, I let him know like, ya'll better know! On
that song I tell Kurupt "nikka you better keep it crippin'" See I'm an educational person, at the same time when I'm dissing Suge, I'm checking ya'll. But you know like I said, I forgive everybody. So if Crooked I is reading this or hearing about this, I love you the same way I loved you when I first met you. No disrespect to you, I'm just being real. I didn't like your rap style in the beginning, because I had a nikka like Kurupt, that you couldn't fukk with! My mind was "nikka this is D.P.G.C.!" Then I had a nikka like Bad Azz! You couldn't fukk with cuzz. I had nikkas coming from the underground like RBX, you couldn't fukk with cuzz.
Like I said, when I'm fukkin' with nikkas from Long Beach, you really gotta be from Long Beach man. I need to see your TRW to see which school you went to, how many homies you know, I need to know what's happening with you. He don't have no TRW with me. That was the bad vibe of it all. But I never really dissed cuzz when he was on that shyt with Death Row. I heard a couple of records where he got at me, but I was like "You know what? I'm not even gonna kill him like that. Cause if I smash him, he's done! Done. Finito." So I knew in the back of my mind that he wasn't thinking for himself, that somebody else was making him do this shyt. Like if a nikka is pushing your button, got his hand up your ass like a puppet, telling you "Okay now say this, now diss him" And realistically, I feel like he never wanted it with me. I feel like he wanted to be with me.
Dubcnn: The thing was, at the beginning, ya'll fell for Suge too for a few years! I think he just went through that learning process, and now that he's out of that situation, he understands why he was wrong. He's putting out a DVD too called "Life After Death Row".
Oh he is?
Dubcnn: I think he just had to go through that learning process that a lot of artists on Death Row went through in the early 90's, to get to where he is now.
Yeah, see but he's from the second team! He's not a first team player to me. He's somebody you grabbed off the bench after the first team was already established you feel what I'm saying? To come clean up and really show them lyrical content, from the second team. The first team gotta be all heavy hitters, big weighs, some nikkas that got that base where they know 500,000 people gonna buy their record. See a nikka like him, he needs to be in a group with two other nikkas, to where nikkas forget about his solo shyt, and just look at his lyrical shyt. You feel what I'm saying?
Then he shoutouted out almost every West Coast nikkah out there and didn't even mention Crooked on My Peoples
Crooked then responded on Dubcnn:

Then he alluded to it on Throw your W's Down
