I can't even call it at this point. I feel like even if he wasn't putting out albums, he should have pushing retail product to keep his name relevant. If he done something along the lines of the pre-Get Rich 50 Cent or Saigon where he threw out compilations of his best mixtape and guest spot albums, he'd have something to work with. Termanology did that around here and it kept his name going a little. I've always pushed Tech N9ne as the business blueprint for just putting out consistent product and keep your touring game tight and blowing up that way. Crook's problem is he may have upset the herd a little too much by hyping things up and not delivering. Somebody like Dr. Dre who is the biggest name on the Coast despite long absences and has the #1 fucking rapper in the world can afford a 12-year fucking break. Crooked couldn't.

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

He's too scared to drop an solo album. He knows it ain't gonna sell millions.

Isn't the point of recording music is to release it? Crooked I should just leak all these albums that have been sitting in the vaults for years. Might as well put them out independently and try to make a buck rather than have it collecting dust somewhere.

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

Had a pretty decent buzz right after he left Death Row, then had this track and the mixtape. Would have been good then to drop an album.

What I took from the new interviews that were posted, he's still trying to get signed. Dude refuses to go indie.

I agree he needs to just leak all the "albums" he has in his vault or put them out for a cheap digital download or something. It's only gonna sound more and more dated the longer he waits. Why not just put it out so that all his upset fans can move on? If he were to drop an album today it wouldn't have anything from his multiple versions of the "BOSS" album on it, so why sit on that music and let it depreciate in value? It's not being reserved for his "album" at this point anyway. MAKES NO SENSE.

He had 2 great opportunities to drop a solo album - the first one was in 2005 when "Boom Boom Clap" dropped. It created a great buzz for him aswell as rumors that Scott Storch is going to submit some production for "Boss Music" but then Death Row was spreading rumors that Crook's still signed to their label and the project never hit the stores...

Then, in 2007 he got even bigger buzz with his Hip-Hop Weekly's series that had the whole internet going CRAZY, plus he released "New West Anthem" - a very nice club banger that recieved postivie reviews. That was the perfect time to release the album via some independent company like Koch and I'm 100% sure it would end up with some decent numbers that year.

"This year I'm dropping "B.O.S.S." - I promise" - remember that?

Well, he didn't stick to his word which is what made many of his supporters and loyal fans to just move on, including myself. Instead, he wanted to wait another year until Interscope, Universal or some other major label will knock on his door with a contract worth millions of dollars so he could go platinum in first week sales and get a "instant classic" certified solo debut album.



That AIN'T GOING TO HAPPEN Mr. Crooked I-con..

I'll say this. It's on a MUCH smaller scale, so don't take it incredibly literal. BUT, lets not act like when Wu-Tang dropped "36 Chambers" y'all didn't think Method Man was dope as fuck. You didn't need Tical to solidify that opinion.

Slaughterhouse debut was really dope. Coulda used some work in direction of songs, themes, production. Better hook game. Making more songs along the lines of "Move On". But let's say Slaughterhouse, under Shady, drops their second album & it's the dopest shit in a long while. Why doesn't he get that pass Method Man got in '93?

because method man was a new artist and hadn't had a chance to put an album out.

That ain't the case with crooked .
