Crooked I interview from 2005, real talk

[Tanjential]

Westcoast2k.Net - You know, a lot of people feel like you wasted a lot of your time on Death Row. How do you see that?

Crooked I - You know, the thing about it on Death Row, a lot of people thought that I was gonna be the one that could ressurrect the West, you know? And the thing is, I always thought that it would take more than one artist. I always thought it would take about two to three good camps to get the West Coast back in full swing. Cause even when Pac was out here, he was the number one dude, Snoop Dogg still had a strong presence in the game, Ice Cube had the movie thing going, E-40 had a good thing going in the Bay Area, Dr. Dre was getting the Aftermath off the ground. So it was like a lot of people at once, and that's how I think it's gotta be right now. To bring it back at full swing, I think it's gonna have to be more than just one artist. I think it's gonna have to be two or three different artists from different camps making that shit just hit again like it was in the 90's..

Real talk^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Fuck everyone having their own label, make 3 or 4 labels really tight.
