Greene apparently resented the fact that Shakespeare was writing plays and getting them performed while Greene was starving to death, especially since Greene was better-educated.
But some people think that the pamphlet in which these sentiments are expressed were not really written by Greene at all, and others think that they are misinterpreted as a kind of nasty criticism.

Who called Shakespeare an Upset Crow?
Nobody called Shakespeare an "upset crow". Robert Greene, in a pamphlet called "Greene's Groatsworth of Wit" called him an "upstart crow". Why? Because Greene was a university man and he looked down at Shakespeare, who only had a grammar school education, as uneducated. He was therefore an upstart to pretend that he could write as well as people who had been to university. Of course Greene was full of it. Shakespeare was a much better writer than Greene himself. I'm not sure why he called him a crow. Maybe it was because Shakespeare had black hair, as the Chandos portrait shows.
