Sounds like he is releasing his single and then other useless singles by other artists but no albums.
At least that's how is sounds like.
Doubt this brings him near releasing his album, lost cause.

Will they also offer hard copies or is this strictly a digital situation?

I know Budden's deal with Amalgam Digital provided hard copies of Mood Muzik: The Album, so was wondering if that were the case here with Crooked I as well?

What would've been logical is to have dropped the "BOSS" mentality and signed a real deal a long time ago.  That would have been the next step.

Online distribution is what matters now. Not too sure about music, as I work in the hospitality industry. But best believe this is what matters the most for a lot of companies as far as marketing opportunities and gaining new market shares. I know what I'm talking about.

I can't believe the hate and closed mindedness in this thread. Crook built his career on the digital era, isn't it only logical that he takes the next step into this direction.

IMO, the Crooked I brand began with Death Row. If it wasn't for Death Row, who knows how it might've played out for him. The controversy surrounding Death Row gave him some exposure, albeit minimal, but still it introduced him to the greater hip hop community.

On the other hand, his recent digital aspirations with hip hop weekly and whatnot is more or less a resurrection from his Death Row days. He might be a little more visual now because of that weekly thing, but not by much. There are still a ton of people who don't know who Crooked I is, and that's a PR issue.

Lastly, I know there are a few people who like to "hate" on Crooked I just to stir up shit with the "Stans". But you gotta look at it from a realistic perspective and accept that people are tired by now. We've waited too long for an album, so it's only natural that people here are gonna have some negative, off-the-cuff remarks surrounding news like this. Put it this way, even if and when Crooked I does give a definite release date for the Boss album, you should expect that there will be more cynics bashing the thread until the day it is officially released. Then there will be critics of the album that'll say it wasn't a very good album for having to wait 10 years for. So either way, it's gonna be a rough ride for Crooked I "Stans" when it comes to trying to garner support for the nigga.

I'm a fan of Crooked I, but I also understand the frustration that a lot of people here have with him, and I agree with them. However, I'm not a hater. I usually laugh off news like this, because it seems to be a cycle with him. In other words, he's hitting par for the course. Until he releases an actual album, then this is just typical news that shows no real progress.

its no so much hate as in crooked is wack or anything like that, its the fact that:
-been in the game for years, goin on deacades
-one of the best lyrical rappers out (to bless a mic)

and in result, nothin!
nothin, not a damn fuckin album
promises, but nothin!

I mean Crooked I is a great MC, don't get me wrong. However, until he drops an album and goes at least gold he ain't worth a 250 K signing bonus.

Im the one kilo came running to to get these dudes down with GMG, when i spoke to roland at GMG he was not willing to give ANY ADVANCE so all three people declined the deal.... kilos getting mad because he has no connections and thought being associated with GMG would give him internet fame status

lol silly faggot get a life


as for Ingrooves they provide more then "cdbaby" they offer marketing, promotions and much more. people need to understand that digital is the new era of music buying, theres a reason itunes was ranked #1 music retail store last year (over walmart and fye)... that means more people buy music off itunes then they do going into a real cd store


as for crooks new shit coming out on cd Im not sure, ingrooves doesnt do physical cd distribution

Since Dream Big is like 4 months old now, Crooked should start thinking about dropping a 2nd single in conjunction with this new digital deal and then seriously consider a release date by the end of the year.
Title: Re: [News] Crooked I signs digital distribution deal with INgrooves
Post by: you gon always be my latin queen bitch on September 06, 2008, 04:03:00 PM
yeah I mean damn he has to top
str8 bosses
nwa
and a close banger boom boom clap

damn if he doesnt drop that typa heat its all bad for him

they are
street bangers
club bangers (boom boom clap for the ladies damn)
lyrical

I mean hes done it before, can he do it again?

and IMO, the one wit akon was cool but nuthin special and a waste of money for that akon hook when he could have got say a cube feature on a this is los angeles banger!

How old is Str8 Bosses?

The reason I ask is because a lot of people don't know that Nas's debut album Illmatic was released in 1994. Yet he recorded and released the single Halftime in 1992 for a movie soundtrack called Zebrahead. So the single itself was already 2 years old, but he still put it on the Illmatic album. He also shot a video for it.

So if people here on the West were really feeling that joint, then Crooked oughta seriously consider releasing it as one of the singles from the Boss album.

Post by: you gon always be my latin queen bitch on September 06, 2008, 04:16:14 PM
its old dont know how old exactly ( a year maybe) but regardless its bangin where as dream big isnt as dope as str8 bosses
or nwa for that matter

them two traccs are fire
dream big is album material but not bangin for a single IMO
it doesnt have that push, that energy, that crazy amp to it
so hell yeah he should drop that as a single
or if he can make something as dope as that drop that second and the newer one first!

but fuck he  needs to get his bidness right and do this for real, for the west, for whatever, jus do it!

either people here are too Denial or Too dumb..

In Order for The Rapper To Make a Plastic CD and destribute it,To Make Copies and shit, Rapper need to have a Label, Pressing CDs in the right format and shit costs around 500k-1 mils, usually labels Recoup of that when An artist sells 150-200 000 copies,

Does Crooked I have such a money to do that? Is he signed?

All That BOSS Label all that shit is imprint, he aint shit, its just a logo,

This Guy WIll Never be Signed, hence, his album will never come out..

besides, Who wanna sign him? he has no mainstream appeal?

And For those who say Sales dont matter? yeah right, so find me at least 1 person on planet earth who would wanna Spend at least 2 mils on the project(enginerring, mixing, features, Producers, promotion, marketing) and Get 50 000=$500 000 Dollars back??? With 1 Point=Just Doing it for the fans?

if You can find me a person thats ready to loose money or generous enough to Spend 1-2 mils on the project(low Budget) and get less than half of it back, PLEASE, LET ME Know WHO THIS PERSON IS, And Please Dont tell me His Name aint Jesus Christ..


And Those who say Fuck Sales, Do it for the fans..unless Crooked I can "promote, Make Beats, Mix,Engeniire shit, Market, press copies, Execute and all by Himself) it costs $$$$, Which means $$$$ Has to come from somewhere...

ya all are dumb as fuck, Omar Cruz, ya Boy,G Malone, Crooked I are never Coming Out, Jay Rock and all them..

How dumb is this forum? Fuking Hell, open your fuking eyez, Do u wanna Be here in 2023 Saying "Omar Cruz should be dropping in 2 months".

Hey Richard, aren't you supposed to be withdrawing your life savings and flashing it on Youtube? You aren't worth my time considering Roscoe takes that Armory Gang shit as a leak you fraud. In regards to Crooked I, I wish him the best. This deal probably won't work out and he should just hit InGrooves with a new single. Dream Big was a failure. Str8 Bosses could have been a great single.  Str8 Bosses is like 2006 if I am right? The dude is one of the best people in the west, but he needs to stop aiming for the stars. He's got to start small and build up. This might be what he needs, but something tells me it won't do that good unless his fans do multiple downloads. I mean he's amazing, but let's be realistic.

if You can find me a person thats ready to loose money or generous enough to Spend 1-2 mils on the project(low Budget) and get less than half of it back, PLEASE, LET ME Know WHO THIS PERSON IS, And Please Dont tell me His Name aint Jesus Christ..


And Those who say Fuck Sales, Do it for the fans..unless Crooked I can "promote, Make Beats, Mix,Engeniire shit, Market, press copies, Execute and all by Himself) it costs $$$$, Which means $$$$ Has to come from somewhere...

ya all are dumb as fuck, Omar Cruz, ya Boy,G Malone, Crooked I are never Coming Out, Jay Rock and all them..

either people here are too Denial or Too dumb..

In Order for The Rapper To Make a Plastic CD and destribute it,To Make Copies and shit, Rapper need to have a Label, Pressing CDs in the right format and shit costs around 500k-1 mils, usually labels Recoup of that when An artist sells 150-200 000 copies,

Does Crooked I have such a money to do that? Is he signed?

All That BOSS Label all that shit is imprint, he aint shit, its just a logo,

This Guy WIll Never be Signed, hence, his album will never come out..

besides, Who wanna sign him? he has no mainstream appeal?

Same here.  :laugh:

That nigga Long Beach Iz Active is something else. Don't know what he is, but he's def something else. Gotta admire his hate game to say the least. He doesn't pull punches from nobody on the West (except for Snoop). He got a lotta hate for everyone on the West Coast in general.

Hope it works out well for him. Crooked I deserves some exposure and a brand to push his music. Good to see him making moves and not getting stuck in second gear.
