Do you think Crooked I not having a solo album is good for his career?

[Triple OG Rapsodie]

What if he finally put out an album and it was on the same level as his last few EPs? I guess some people liked them but imo they were mediocre at best. Would you be satisfied or disappointed? Would it make his career better or worse?

At this point I really don't care anymore - if it comes out, it does - if not, then so be it.

Like you said, he's recent stuff has been solid at best so I don't think he can top tracks like "Str8 Bosses" but I hope "Million Dollar Story" will have quality material on it... "B.O.S.S." is what I want to hear tho.

crook needs selling his "BOSS" album tru planetcob like the pre-order needs to take 20k to even sell and ship it out to the masses.

i got a lil question that is a little off this topic but
the Horseshoe gang Members are Brothers ?? they all looks like Crooked I !! lol

[Dre-Day]

i think the damage is done already to his career, he delayed it so long

[V2DHeart]

Damage is already done. He's done so many mixtapes, and diluted filler material type tracks that he's embedded himself in amongst the rest of the mixtape rappers (See Cyssero)

His best chance was with Boom Boom Clap, when that came out. He missed the train that day

[BiggBoogaBiff]

Yeah he definitely shoulda rode the wave with "Boom Boom Clap" when it first came out.  I didn't get that either.

i think its gotten to the point where not having a solo album is almost crooked i's "thing"...

I say now it would just be a mistake. For more knowledgeable fans who know how long it's been delayed & understand the expectations, it's almost on a Detox level where it has to be an undoubtable classic for it to get any sort of praise without being considered a "disappointment". And as much great as I think Crooked I is, I don't think he could produce an album that people would throw in the great album discussion.

We live in an era where people have three songs connected to their career & the rest of the album just gets thrown in the trash anyway. Even really good albums get lost in the nostalgia that everyone else just compares to classics of the 90's. & most of that "classicness" is more connected to the impact those albums had. & like I've said before, it's not possible to have impact like that on this genre anymore. ESPECIALLY with Crooked's style of rapping.

There is no denying he can murk a beat better than almost anyone. Just gotta respect that for what it is & stop looking for more.

[Smackdog]

Yes , yes , yes.......absolutely.....it gives us something to talk about

[OG Jaydc]

I don't get his reasoning. He's had chances but his buzz is dead. He's ruined his reputation among hip hop fans. He's seen as a joke, his solo album is a punchline. Yeah, he gets respect from other rappers but career wise not one other rapper would want his career. Up until he left deathrow he had viable excuses. The situations at virgin, dpg and death row were out of his control. But since then he's done nothing. He built himself a huge buzz with the first hip hop weekly, that was the time to drop an album. That second hip hop weekly was barely even acknowledged, which is the proof he killed his own career.

[Smackdog]

I think what is going on, is this,   He wants to release an album and probably has it ready,  but the record company doesn't want to put their name behind it and invest in it and send it out to the stores....and cause of that  then Crooked has no other options to release an album in the stores,   So then he is sticking to smaller EP's that are easier to download digitally and also cheaper so are more likely to sell online than an album would sell online....


I could be wrong about this...but i think that is what it is.

110% networth.  He's just an assassin,and not a great song maker. It always sounds like he's trying to hard. It's like his real songs outta assassin mode turn out like nas's you owe me,like trying to squeeze to much into a simple song,yell
