Omar didn't get his buzz cuz he was a Mexican rapper. Hell most cats that I let listen to Omar thought he was black. He got a buzz cuz he has hot music. Why else would Geffen/Interscope want to snatch him up? If it was cuz he was Mexican, they would've shipped him to a Latino sub label. Bishop didn't get his buzz cuz of Busta, that's ignorant. He got buzz cuz he grinded hard enough BEFORE he got signed to get love from all kinds of emcees from all over.
Where do people get that Crooked has the biggest buzz on the West? LOL @ That. People must not be in L.A., San Diego or the Bay if they're saying that. I can vouch that nobody I know is heavy into Crooked I, they don't even know who he is for the most part. Misconceptions are a mutha...
And southern Cali is a god damn disgrace at the moment.........

Today, while my sis and I went to grab some chow at BJ's Restaurants, she told me about Reggaeton being a dead music style.So now I wonder if whether rap will end up like Reggaeton.And to Chuck Knoxxx - this includes Chicano Rap (Remember the Curse?) - will all subgenres of rap sink along with mainstream?
crooked i is hot garbage (there i said it lol..now all you crooked groupies dont cry now, its jus how i feel), theres a reason that guy aint got no official album out, dudes been in the game for a decade and still nothing, bishops only been around for a few years and hes already signed to aftermath, put out a hotass mixtape/street album thats gotten big time praise by alotta people (lotta people say it was better then most rappers retail albums this year), he also put out a myspace video of him the studio with dre something NO ONES ever done before and to top it off dude has another street album comin out that alotta people are anticipating called Caltroit, cant speak on omar cruz...never heard any of his stuff before.
yo reality, thats real talk, these Bishop and Omar Cruz dickryders just dont want to admit it, but fuck it, the truth hurtsQuote from: Tha Crip on September 26, 2007, 06:59:04 PMcrooked i is hot garbage (there i said it lol..now all you crooked groupies dont cry now, its jus how i feel), theres a reason that guy aint got no official album out, dudes been in the game for a decade and still nothing, bishops only been around for a few years and hes already signed to aftermath, put out a hotass mixtape/street album thats gotten big time praise by alotta people (lotta people say it was better then most rappers retail albums this year), he also put out a myspace video of him the studio with dre something NO ONES ever done before and to top it off dude has another street album comin out that alotta people are anticipating called Caltroit, cant speak on omar cruz...never heard any of his stuff before.First of all, Crooked I was on Death Row for like 5 years, meaning theres no fuckin way his album will see the light of day, we all know this, hes been loyal enough to suge but obviously had enough and is now goin the independent route, I dont know how u cant respect him for thatSecond of all, Bishop and Omar are backed by major labels, I mean come on, Bishops on fuckin Aftermath Records for cryin out loud, what more can you get for a westcoast rapper than a big budget label with the GOAT in hip hop production......The fact that Crooked has created more buzz independently than any of these dudes on major labels proves his talent far surpasses any of these guys.....Im not sayin Bishop and Omar are not talented, I think Bishop is a great lyricist, but Crooked I is even better lyrically and has more presence and swagger behind the mic.....Also, another thing, Dre offered Crooked a record deal but Crooked denied it, he was fed up with industry politics and thus decided to do it the independent way.....What I just posted are straight up facts, Im not a fuckin dickryder like most of these fools postin on this board, I keep it 100% and tell it like it is.....I love Bishop Lamont but lets be honest, Crooked just has better skills behind the mic, and thats what keepin people checkin up on him every week, and Im talkin bout people all over the world, not just the westcoast.....I cant say that Bishop has completely lost his chance, that part I dont agree with, cuz just for the fact that he is on Aftermath and will have production by Dre alone will get people to buy his cd, but you cant sit there and act like hes way better than Crooked.....Just cuz hes your favorite rapper DOES NOT mean that hes necessarily the best rapper......My favorite rapper is 2pac, but we all know 2pac wasnt the best lyricist and didnt have the most talent when it came to mic skills.....But that doesnt change the fact that hes my favorite rapper, all Im tryin to say is, Be a fan but dont be a fuckin dickryder.....
I really dont see Bishop or Omar blowing up but there is still plenty of time to try I agree but nobody I know outside the internet knows who Omar or Bishop is ?
