“And I don’t chuckle at the end of the punchline/ I punch you at the end of the punchline/ Fuck you!”
The above quote is all you need to read to get an idea of the lyrical abrasiveness on this remix to “Crooked Cop.” Copywrite has good energy here; you can feel his disgust at mainstream (read: radio) rappers that are lazy with the bars and focus on their “swag.” The bassline thump of Surock’s production will remind you of some of Dr. Dre’s Aftermath work, so Crooked has no issues nimbly flowing over a West Coast themed beat. There’s only one verse each, so this comes off more like a freestyle than an actual full-fledged remix or sequel. Still, it’s a decent joint that’ll fit in good on a mix CD. Copywrite’s latest album, The Life and Times of Peter Nelson, is available now through Man Bites Dog Records.
