It is never easy to come up with personal top ten favourite songs, but Crook took this one for the culture.
On his Twitter account, KXNG Crooked posted the list of 10 Eminem’s song that he rates the highest:

Crook even provided some insight into why he prefers some songs over others. For instance, replying to a user who emotionally claimed that “Bad Guy” is much better than “Stan”, the Slaughterhouse MC points out that “Stan” provides a deep emotional connection to a particular time in his life:
As soon as the intro to Stan starts it’s classic and takes me back to late nights driving home from long studio sessions.. It gives me something priceless.. memories 🏆

It is true about all our preferences, probably. And it is certainly true about Crook. So when a fan noticed that there are way many old classic Eminem songs on this list, the West coast lyricist did not argue with it but also explained that it is not because he does not like new Eminem:
Nah it’s just I’ve lived with his older music longer ya know

And then Crook said precisely how long he had lived with Marshall’s music. Apparently, Em popped onto the Long Beach spitter’s radar before his big commercial success. Crook spotted Eminem freestyling on Sway Galloway’s show:
I heard him spit a verse in ‘98 or ‘99 on the Wake Up Show and fucked with him since then

Someone was surprised to notice that there was no “Juggernauts” on the list. This track off “On The House” mixtape, however, revokes mainly bad memories in Crook:
Man that song got us sued for seven figures 😡
