lol! you posted the 2nd reponse 3 min. later  were you disappointed that you didn't get a reply so quickly 

i'm not NIK, but nice try 

[The Watcher]

whats happening with crooked releasing one track per week from BOSS? Seems we got the first track and nothing else

another fail

[K-MACC]

Basically, he says that while the message of No Country For Old Men is true and needs to be said by somebody he doesn't want to waste his time on that message.   He wants to spend his time recording quality, influential music that he hopes is comparable to Tupac's and Biggie's catalog.    Hopefully his plans come to light.

ya right

Dre, Snoop, Quik etc. don't own these so called "never dropping album"-artists shit. You surprised they don't fuck with people that whine always?
Crooked is good but he should shut the fuck up and grow up.
He is always whining and asking for handouts, doesn't sound like the boss of even himself to me.

[Jaydc555]

I just felt both topics deserved their own post.I like how you avoided the question though.lol.

But then again... Crooked has put out more material than Dre has in the last 10 years.

  Man, we're hearing about all this negative Crooked I news this week.  This was also supposed to be the week that Wideawake was gonna drop that 3 track sampler with "Hoodstar" on it, but that's looking doubtful too.  That Record Store Day is now 3 days away and there hasn't been jack shit mentioned about that sampler.
  Personally, as far as the "No Country For Old Men" news goes, I don't care that much that this project was scrapped.  And really, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to anyone as lately it has really looked like this project was going nowhere.  To me, it would be way more disappointing if the Slaughterhouse project was cancelled.  But Crooked I has enough on his plate with that project to try to manage this one too, not to mention getting a solo album out.
  What I (and I think a lot of others) would like to know is, when is the next B.O.S.S. track dropping?  From the sound of that last interview he did, it sounds like he still plans on releasing it a track at a time.  I would have thought that since that's still the case. he would have dropped the second track by now.

Bishop Lamont, Crooked I, Glasses Malone vs. Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, & Ice Cube 


i wish they woulda battled it out on wax... i can only dream 

[Matty]

people i know who had never really checked for crooked before are heavily into his stuff now slaughterhouse is making noise. i think crooked could gain much more popularity and recognition in the future. whether he has enough business savvy to turn this new popularity into some kind of deal to put out a lp with strong producers remains to be seen.

hopefully he's not stupid enough to ever sign with aftermath or anyone really big, but his own ventures have been flawed to say the least.

Just bringing up a fact...

You said Crooked is crying for handouts, but he been making a lot of moves on his own.

Good find, Effex.  This is good news.  Unfortunately for me, I'm about a two-hour drive from anywhere that's participating in Record Store Day.  If anyone out there can get their hands on an extra one and wants to sell it, send me a pm.

[EFFeX]

Yeah there are stores around me participating, but all the ones I contacted won't be carrying it, I'm a little upset about that. I might have to take a long ride, we'll see what happens.

Damn. That sucks, man.  I don't understand why the have to make the damn thing so hard to locate.  My thing is, I wouldn't mind driving the 2 hours to St. Louis or wherever to get the damn thing, if I knew it was going to be there.  But the way this thing seems to be a limited release, I'm not making the trip if I run the risk of the store either not carrying it or already having run out of it.

Yeah, that's kind of my thing too, but who knows... We'll see what happens. Maybe I'll make the trip.

If it's free...

He didn't really say anything off beat.  I give him props for speaking the real.  I do think that Too Short, Ice Cube, Warren G, and E-40 do more for the Westcoast than Dre or Snoop.  However, Dre put The Game on and he put Bishop out there.  And Ice Cube jumped on The Game's latest album.  Also, Snoop worked with Crooked I back in the 90's (Go Listen to that "Feel So Good" track, classic).

Go listen to that last verse on the Slaughterhouse track "Move On" and listen to what Crook says about Dre's album and it's correlation to West Coast artists.  I think he's just fed up that they don't do enough.  When you look at how much energy the OG South artists put into the young dirty south players there's a huge difference.  These guys jump all over each other's records and get at each other musically even if they aren't having dinner together.

I think he is getting at the fact of album guest appearances on solo albums.  He doesn't like the fact Snoop will run to the hot producer or artist for a guest appearance before getting at Crooked I, Glasses Malone, Eastwood, Roscoe, Young Keno, Ya Boy, etc.

He's saying most have helped at a minimal level but could open more doors.  But man when I look at Too Short he will help any cat on the West and jump all over their album and get them going.  I see a little bit of truth but a lot of frustration in his comments.

He should just push that Slaughterhouse hard and hook back up with Jay-Z (Jay-Z wanted to put him on a long time ago and so did Irv Gotti) and see if he can get a major deal and do him.

Crook's biggest flaw right now is he is trying to lift the whole West Coast and lead the way but he isn't even lifting himself.  His intentions are good and he wants to lead, but you gotta lift yourself up before you go trying to lift an entire coast up.  Once he gets himself out there with Slaughterhouse, follow up with a smash solo album and do tons of guest appearances all over, then start lifting up other rappers.  One step at a time Crooked and quit talking about all this dieing shit and comparing yourself to Pac before you have an album out.
