Title: Crooked I Interview!
Post by: Lunatic on November 30, 2008, 06:50:47 AM
http://raptalk.net/website/content/view/1128/54/

 Raptalk.Net hooked up with the Block Obama himself, Crooked! In this exclusive one on one interview, we discuss his new EP which is currently available for digital sale, "Block Obama 2." We had to ofcourse get his feelings on the digital age the Hip-Hop game is currently seeing.

Crooked I then goes on to share with us his feelings on Hip-Hop and doing it for the love of the genre instead of the money or flashy items; something we definitely respect Crooked I for.

We then get into the status of the "Dream Big" single and if Crooked would ever consider putting out "BOSS" as he did "Block Obama 2", digital release. That is exactly where we get into a segment which Crooked I calls Business 101 regarding video shoots and all the politics which surrounds it.

Discussed next is Crooked I's feelings on the new west movement and how he feels their needs to be a lot of repairing done on the coast; as you can read, it is a work in process and Crooked I is doing his part.

We ofcourse had to get into Hip-Hop Weekly and discuss Crooked I's thoughts on the series looking back, and regarding if Crooked would ever consider doing yet another series!

If you've been sleeping under a rock, you wouldn't know that Crooked is apart of a new super-group, Slaughterhouse alongside Joe Budden, Royce Da 5'9 and Joell Ortiz; We talk about how this group came about, if their are any projects in the works and much more!

"No Country For Old Men?" A project which may be in the works alongside Bishop Lamont and G. Malone! How will the veteran artists react? Get Crooked I's thoughts on that!

This was a LOOOONG one, so Enjoy!

The only good thing about this interview (as in Crooked I tellling us any different then what he did in 05) is that he's in the studio with Khalil.

Hip-Hop: Thanks! Glad you liked my Q's!

excusme Crooked I but you are really dumb
we ain't seeing Boss
and digital release is not possible cause fans don't have money for computer;
do you think fans that don't have money for comuter will have money for your "physical product" ??????
we can wait another 10 years

crooked talkin about business hahaha

i don't know about which OG's he's talking but Cube got Maylay;Snoop-Western Union, Problem;Dre-Bishop
the fact that nobody is fucking with crook doesn't mean that veterans ain't helping the new generation...

and this is no hate; i'm far enough from crook to hate, but it's anoying....

Raptalk.Net:
Are you worried at all about that causing a possible up rise?
Crooked I:
Nah, I'm not worried. Like I we're we’re here pushing a line.
There are some old dudes who I have love for and they riding with us on this because they see a lot of dudes from their era are not helping us.
Their riding with us. Ask Big Hutch from Above the Law; call him and see what he says (Laughs).
They are dudes from that era who are riding with us on this tip. It has to change. If it causes an up rise – everybody get ready.


Yeah ask him  :P :-X that bitter ass fool,that still ask for handout's  :P :laugh: great  :P


Chad: That's a little harsh!


Not at all  ;)
Let me translate;  ;) :P
187um is the wrong person to ask... (20 years+ deep in the game and he still want Dre to help him out,come on now  :P :-X)

That's actually not bad considering it had nothing but word-of-mouth internet promotion and was only a digital EP.

dude ur a dumb motherfucker just stop talking. he said he IS going to release his album in hard copy. if u dont like crooked then ur a ringtone rap fan. hes the best rapper out. fuck who u listen to.

and everybody who wants to bitch and cry talkin,"wheres crookeds album, hes never gonna drop it, im gona stop supporting him cuz hes taking too long to drop his album." shut the fuck up with that shit. im sick of it. if u read that interview he explains why hes taking so long to release it. because the record companies are tryin to fuck him. if ur a true fan of crooked i would u be happy if he released some sloppy ass, ringtone ass, bubblegum bullshit cd? FUCK NO i would be fuckin pissed. im not a little impatient leech whos gonna bitch and whine about whats taking him so long. so just cut that shit right now and go fuckin kill urself. thers enough other good hiphop out there to keep u entertained while we wait. u just gotta look.

i have over 300 crooked i songs and i can just put that shit on shuffle and its wayyy better than any other shit out there. more substance, more bars, less bullshit, just all around real HIP HOP. i have plenty of shit to keep me occupied while i wait. so either quit cryin and find something to pass the time or fuckin kill urself. thanks.

Homie, some people just don't got the loot to drop $800 on a computer and pay a monthly internet bill, but do buy CDs here and there. Not to mention, some people just don't care about the net believe it or not.

At this point, I dont care if Crooked I blows up, I just want the album. Im sure alot of his fans agree. Fuck him blowing up and becoming the next Snoop or whoever, He just needs to get the album out. And as long has Crooked I keeps giving us TOP Quality, Mixtapes, songs and L.P free, I will be happy for now, but come on. Go to Koch and put the album out.

 Back on Topic, Great interview Luna. You touched on alot of good topics, Now im just awaiting his annoucement now...Hope it comes sooner than later. Luna is killin it with these Interviews, they just get better and better, keep up the work. Props.

well if alot of his fans demand his deathrow stuff then i can see him putting it out. if like thousands off fans just went to myspace and asked if he can put out deathrow traks out. maybe wat he can do is u know how he done hip hop weekly, maybe he should a Throwback Muzik Weekly, he can drop 1 deathrow trak a week. something to consider for sure.

I hear what your saying, but at the same time people have been asking for his Death Row tracks on a regular basis since he was signed to Death Row. Not to mention I think he wants to see some paper from them.
