KXNG Crooked, formerly known as Crooked I, opened up to VladTV about his thoughts on Funk Volume's battle against his brothers' group, Horseshoe Gang. 

The West Coast emcee said that he felt like Funk Volume wasn't prepared for Horseshoe Gang to push the $500,000 prize money to the side and just focus on the bars. He added, "I think that right there caught them off guard. That's the reason why it probably took [Funk Volume] a while to even respond." 

KXNG Crooked also shared his thoughts on rap being too friendly today, as he pointed out that a lot of artists are afraid of stepping on people's toes or possibly ruining a sponsored deal.
