Upcoming November XXL - Crooked I is PART of COVER FEATURE!

[EFFeX]

The hate in this thread is incredible... I can't believe people are hating on dude for working hard and being on the grind doing it all on his own.

Young Dro - havent heard much from him either, and some of his guest appearances are tight, but i dont think he can carry a whole album on his back.
Plies - havent really heard much from him, but from what ive read and heard, he sounds promising.

Dro's album was pretty good, u should check it out...his wordplay is extremely clever...great metaphors as well...he actually sold some decent numbers...seems pretty hard for a complete newcomer in hiphop to be selling right now, and dro sold about 400,000, that's damn good

Plies is the shit man, i'm really feeling dude right now (no homo)...don't think most of y'all would like him though...right now, he's a broke man's T.I.

his style to me resembles that of Tip's in around 2003...that's why im saying this dude gonna blow up in a few years

[ToOoOoN!!!]

every one is hating on papoose but i think he's dope but to each of his own,it's all good

I have the album and like it, aswell as Plies, who your rite is just like T.I, and runnin my mama crazy is sick as fuck, but goons lurkin is one of the worst songs ever made IMO, lol

I love Kept it too real and Hypnotize , Plies really knows how to make a hit...

What hate? Nobody is dening Crooked I's talent, but to label him "new school" is just laughable. They are insane for leaving out Bishop Lamont.

Yea Runnin my momma crazy is insane, he said it'll be his 3rd single, lets just hope the vids better than the vid for 100 years which was .....

[T-Dogg]

Not to take anything away from these dudes (although Boosie and Gorilla Zoe I've heard nothing about before this), but Bishop should've definately been on there, with a grouping like this. Ya Boy also has more of a right in my opinion to be there than either Boosie or Gorilla Zoe, but I guess his hype hasn't traversed that far yet, I don't know (then again, Ya Boy's hype has reached me and neither Boosie's or Zoe's has not).

But Bishop Lamont should've been on that cover with those dudes, no fuckin' doubt. He had a dope ass mixtape (or street album, however you wanna call it) with ****** Noize and he's on that hot seat that is "the next dude Dr. Dre is putting out".

Granted, Ortiz is on that Dre list too and he put out Bodega Chronicles, so maybe they just picked one dude out of the Aftermath camp 'cause of his album, but as I see it he's only next in line after Bishop. (Plus Ortiz is out of NY, so maybe the general east coast bias of rap mags is partly to blame too.)

And about the Crooked I spot - sure he's been in the game for a long time now, but only now is he really on the come up big time. Those hip-hop weeklies really have given him attention. Before it was just the west coast who was hyped about him. And the fact still is he hasn't put out an album. So I'm not really tripping off the fact that Crooked's on there labeled as "new school". He fits in my opinion.

Other than that - it's a cool cover. Hopefully the article is good and interesting and covers each artist deeply enough. This might be the first rap mag I've picked up in years if the cover story's good. Shitty thing about is that it won't be out here for a long ass time though.

Shit, Bishop should've really been on there.

100 years is just a internet video, not even the 2nd single...that song is crazy 2, really good, gotta use the word "cracker" less though LOL...the 2nd single is hypnotized, the vid is online already...bad choice IMO

[YoungCrookedI]

Smh at old ass Crooked I, if anyone from the westcoast deserve a spot in there, its Bishop or Ya Boy.

lol bishop is on fuckin aftermath he will be on the cover alone because he fuckes with dre, so why are you mad??

i agree with that ya boy should be on the cover but the other bitchass like richboy,plies and lil bossie sould change NOT CROOKED !!!!

cause who is droppin every week a track???

Exactly. Fuck, I didnt even notice Joel is on it. No disrespect to him but Bishops buzz is 10 times bigger.

[Hatesrats™]

After all the HATE...LMAO

I can't wait until I see the Doubter's swinging off of
Dre's & Crooked Nut's once they drop their album's.

 

is this Crook's second XXL cover? (Tha Row issue)
Prop's to Crooked.

It's going down this year.

Really? I thought Hypnotized is the perfect 2nd single, but it shudov been released earlier, cos its got that summer feel to it.....

if u really give it some though, who's gonna buy his album based off the hypnotized song that didn't buy it after the shawty single

if u ask me, it's the same audience...he should dropped a different track
