A town in Tennessee named Cookeville Tennessee.
Dubbed so because of the tendencies of local dignitaries to line their pockets at the cost of
poverty level, homeless, disabled and/or
handicapped citizens.
CrookvilleJoe is a local rapper who is accredited with dubbing the town after watching crooklyn by spike Lee for
the first time in 2001. Being that the town's nicknames at the time ( cook Vegas and cookietown) did not imply any truths, this nickname helped fuel the young artist to promote the NEWLY NAMED "CROOKVILLE" IN HIS FIRST RELEASED, INDIVIDUALLY PRODUCED, BASEMENT RECORDINGS AT 14-15 YEARS OLD while attending Cookeville high school.
