Dominick Wickliffe, better known by his stage name Crooked I is an American rapper from Long Beach, California. The name “Crooked I” comes from the malt liquor beverage St. Ides, whose logo has a crooked letter “I” on the label. The “I” also stands for Intriago, an adopted gangster moniker common amongst Hip-Hop MC’s like Nas (aka Escobar) and The Notorious B.I.G. (aka Frank White). Crooked I is currently CEO of his own record label, Dynasty Entertainment, and Senior Vice President of Treacherous Records. Before he became his own boss, he was also signed to Virgin Records, and most notably, Death Row Records, where he spent four years working under the infamous Suge Knight.
It was the start of a second dynasty at the newly reborn Tha Row Records. Crooked I was joined by an incredible roster of legends such as Kurupt and Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes as well as new comers such as Eastwood and Spider Loc. It is a little known fact that Crooked I was signed to the label as not only a recording artist, but a part of the Triple 7 production team as well. The team consisted of Crooked I, his god brother Jim Gittum and Tha Row’s former head of production Darren Vegas. During his time on Tha Row, Crooked I recorded over four albums worth of material including the legendary titles Untouchable and Say Hi To The Bad Guy. A notable song from Say Hi To The Bad Guy was Crooked I’s single titled So Hood which featured an appearance from R&B singer Sisqo of Dru Hill. Unfortunately, after several trips to prison, Suge Knight was never able to properly restore his record label and neither project ever saw the light of day. However, Crooked I’s time on Tha Row was not a complete disaster. In fact, Crooked I released a mixtape titled Westcoasanostra Volume 1 entirely produced by Darren Vegas in 2003. The rapper then appeared on the soundtrack for comedian Eddie Griffin’s film Dysfunktional Family (2003) as well as projects by artists such as Ja Rule, Tha Dogg Pound and The Boo Ya Tribe to name a few. Because the song was banned from major television outlets, fans were unware that a video was filmed to Dysfunktional Family’s lead single Still Tha Row. Crooked I started to realize that it was not that his music fell short in quality, but the fact that his record label was no longer welcome in the music industry. After four years on Tha Row Records and no album on the shelves, Crooked I opted out of his contract with Death Row Records.
With Crooked I’s musical future looking brighter than ever, he released his second EP Mr. Pig Face Weapon Waist in November of 2009 through Gracie Productions. The unusual title was attributed to Crooked I’s use of a pig mask during Slaughterhouse’s earlier performances. The project featured a highly publicized collaboration with Snoop Dogg which ended the two rapper’s long-standing friction. Additionally, Crooked I and director Chris Le filmed a music video for the EP’s second single titled Mr. Pig Face. Due to Crooked I’s newly found fame through Slaughterhouse, the project received much attention and proved to be a success. Crooked I has been quoted in stating that he believes the EP is a representation of his best musical work to date. In fact, Crooked I was so proud of the project’s success that he decided to release an extended version titled More Pig Face Weapon Waist in June of 2010.
In March of 2010 Crooked I began to push his movement, the Circle of Bosses (COB) to new heights. Crooked I launched the Planet COB website to promote his brand by providing exclusive music as well as official merchandise. The website produced a vigarous online campaign that was masterminded through outlets such as the Twitter social network. Due to the website’s success, Crooked I released a digital EP titled Planet COB Vol. 1 in August of 2010. The eight track project featured completely original production as well as the emcee’s highly popular single Everythang. Interestingly enough, the EP’s release coincided with the launching of Crooked I’s Hip Hop Weekly: Reloaded, a follow up the original series. Although critics were skeptical of his ability to recreate the magic, Crooked I grabbed the attention of several major news publications in less than one week.

Snoop Dogg: Ain’t No Fun (If the Homies Can’t Have None)
Feat: Nate Dogg, Kurupt & Warren G
Song Producer: Dr. Dre
Album: “Doggystyle”
Recorded: 1992-1993
Date of Release: 11/23/1993
Record Label: Death Row/Interscope/Atlantic
Album Producers: Suge Knight (Executive); Dr. Dre; Daz Dillenger; Emanuel “Porkchop” Dean; Warren G
Sub-genre: Gangsta/Hardcore/G-Funk (West Coast)
**Snoop Dogg came to attention of the music industry in 1992, through his vocal contributions on Dre’s The Chronic. That album is considered to have “transformed the entire sound of West Coast rap” by its development of what later became known as the “G-funk” sound. The Chronic expanded gangsta rap with profanity, violent lyrics, basic beats, anti-authoritarian lyrics and multi-layered samples taken from 1970’s P-Funk records. Snoop Dogg contributed vocals to Dre’s solo single, “Deep Cover”, which lead to a high degree of anticipation amongst hip hop for the release of his own solo album.
-Doggystyle and The Chronic are associated with each other mainly because each prominently featured Snoop Dogg and because both contain G-funk style production from Dr. Dre. The two releases are linked by the high number of vocal contributions from Death Row Records artists, including Tha Dogg Pound, RBX, The Lady of Rage, while both contain a high density misogynistic lyrics and profanity in their lyrics. In addition, the two albums are each viewed by critics as early “G-funk classics”, and have been described as “joined at the hip”.
-Gangsta rap has been criticized for its extreme lyrics, which are often accused of glamorizing gang violence and black-on-black crime. The Gangsta rappers responded that they were simply describing the realities of life in places such as Compton, California, and Long Beach, California. Describing Doggystyle in 1993, Snoop Dogg likewise points to the album’s realism, and the extent to which it is based on his personal experience. He said, “I can’t rap about something I don’t know. You’ll never hear me rapping about no bachelor’s degree. It’s only what I know and that’s that street life. It’s all everyday life, reality.” Explaining his intentions, Snoop Dogg claims he feels he is a role model to many young black men, and that his songs are designed to relate to their concerns. “For little kids growing up in the ghettos,” he said, “it’s easy to get into the wrong types of things, especially gangbanging and selling drugs. I’ve seen what that was like, and I don’t glorify it, but I don’t preach. I bring it to them rather than have them go find out about it for themselves.” He further explained the “dream” that he would pursue after making the album: “I’m going to try to eliminate the gang violence. I’ll be on a mission for peace. I know I have a lot of power. I know if I say, ‘Don’t kill,’ niggas won’t kill”.**

*Cordozar Calvin Broadus, Jr. (born October 20, 1971), better known by his stage name Snoop Dogg (formerly Snoop Doggy Dogg), is a Grammy Award-nominated American rapper, record producer, and actor. Snoop is best known as an MC in the West Coast hip hop scene, and for being one of producer Dr. Dre’s most notable protégés. He popularized the catch phrase suffix “-izzle,” a slang term or infix that had been in use for decades, but not nearly to the extent that it currently permeates the pop and hip hop music industry as well as general usage.
-Doggystyle is the debut solo album from American West Coast hip hop rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg, released November 23, 1993 on Death Row Records. The album was recorded soon following the release of Dr. Dre’s landmark debut album The Chronic (1992), to which Snoop Dogg contributed significantly. His musical stylizations for the album share similarity to those featured on Doggystyle.[1] Critics have praised Snoop Dogg for the lyrical “realism” he delivers on the album and for his distinctive vocal flow.[1][2] While recording the album, Snoop Dogg was arrested in connection with Phillip Woldermarian’s death; he was tried and acquitted in 1996.
-Despite some mixed criticism of the album initially upon its release, Doggystyle has earned recognition from many music critics as one of the most significant albums of the 1990s, as well as one of the most important hip hop albums ever released.[3] Much like The Chronic, the distinctive sounds of Doggystyle helped introduce the hip hop style of G-funk to a mainstream audience, bringing forward West Coast hip hop as a dominant force in the early 1990s.[1][4] As of 2008, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has certified Doggystyle quadruple platinum in sales, as it serves as Snoop Dogg’s highest-selling album. The record debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, and sold 802,858 copies in its first week alone, which was the record for a debuting artist until Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers LP in 2000.Doggystyle is viewed by many critics and fans as a “hip hop classic” and is included in The Source magazine’s list of the 100 Best Rap Albums, as well as Rolling Stone magazine’s list of Essential Recordings of the 90’s.*
