lyrically and flow wise they are both ill... but crooked i's got it over tech with lyrics and tech has got more flow... but both artist are tite... hard to compare when tech's got amp'ed up music to party and rage too, when crooked i is gangsta as fuck and makes ill west coast music.... show wise tech would slaughter crooked... freestyle crooked i would win... but yeah all in all i think they would be better making a collabo album that way it would put both influences on each artists flows and lyrics.. they woud make each other step there game up.
