So what if he dropped that single this week, doesn't mean we'll see an album anytime soon
how come a rapper like cashis can get a deal wit shady, release a ep, be on comps etc.. in videos?but crooked cant do that shit???
As for Crooked's delay, nobody should be surprised. This always happens with him. I very much doubt that it's politics of the industry as a reason for him not releasing anything. He thinks he's on Jay Z's level for trying to negotiate an album deal. When in reality he really hasn't proven himself wothy of such a deal. Sure, he is a lyrical monster but the record labels want someone that can make them money. Like I said before, his whole "Boss" mentality is what's holding him back. You need to work your way up the ranks in order to become a boss.
Imagine Detox,LAX and some other Albums like Ice Cube,Ya Boy etc come out and imagine theyr great,who gives a fuck about Crooked anymore ?I mean he is no Dre to fool ppl by saying B.O.S.S is coming.........what is the worst is that he announces all that shit in some Clubs where 200 ppl are lol,I mean where did he say that his song is coming in 3 weeks ?in club zelda or some shit in front of 200 ppl i guess.these announcements have to be made on his official website,on radio,on tv ..............crooked is very cheap very,i dont even care anymore ......if his album comes okay cool,if not who cares ?in 2009 nobody talks about a niqqer who was good but didnt make it anywhere.just like football players,they say ur talented for 3-4 years but if u dont progressssss noboddddddy gives a fuck about u anymore,u faillllled niqqqqqa

I'm still hoping Portland gets Derrick Rose in the draft. I gave up on a Crooked I album at least 4 years ago though.I have this bad feeling that Prichard is bullshitting the fans. Seems like tickets ususally go on sale for next year not for several months from now. Here locally they've been advertising tickets for next season as being ons ale for the past month or so.My theory is they are trying to get people's hopes up for next season as high as possible, and then before the season starts they'll say something to the effect that Oden won't be cleared to play til the all-star broke or so lol.Anyways, back to the topic at hand...........fuck you Crooked I. lol.

Crooked I > your favorite rapper
he's a good MC but everyone knows good MC's DONT SELL in the mainstream.

Real hiphop heads know a dope MC when they hear one regardless of if the dude has albums out, if he's signed or not, otherwise you're just a sucker for major label marketing and the popularity vote

Take Kool G Rap or Big Daddy Kane or many of the top ranked MCs - often they couldn't put together a consistent album, but they are still known as the best MCs regardless just because of how dope they are lyricallyIf you look at Canibus - he came out and his first album was horrible, but people still knew he was one of the dopest MCs because his level of rhyming was so highThe fact so many west coast heads respect Crooked I and know how dope he is without him even having dropped an album yet illustrates how dope he is on the mic, he's known JUST for being lyrical
