crooked i vs. shaq

I love all these opinions on Crooked LET DUDE DROP THE ALBUM, then "decide" if he made a good album or not. We aint heard a great album or any album for that matter, but that doesn't mean he cant do it...
And i just listened to Dream Big 2 times in a row, he doesnt outrun the beat, he just has a little more passion in the spit...Game sounds more layed back..

I think Crook has a small handful of really good tracks (less than 15) and maybe he should just take those tracks and do an album with them on a major since most people haven't heard his music.  Some of the few that I can think of off the top of my head are "Feels So Good" with Snoop and Lil-C-Style back in 1998, "Bucc Down," "Gangsta's Holiday," "We Ballin" w/ Eastwood, "Baby Remix" w/ Ashanti, and "I Love The Ghetto To Death."  I think over the course of 1998 to 2008 he should just take his best stuff and throw it on an album and release it on Interscope.  I agree with the poster that said he's a late 1990's/early 2000's rapper, and I personally think that's when his best work is.  That "Say Dr. Dre" track that was supposed to be on Dre's 3rd version of Detox was pretty interesting.  But again, people aren't looking for those types of tracks.

He has way more than fifteen dope tracks. I agree that he should release a collection of his best tracks from the last decade though. Wouldn't get much luck doing it on a major though. They'd be unlikely to committ to a short-term investment like that. They usually want to lock artists down for a few albums a piece if they're gonna put them out. I'd like to see him put out an independent collection like 50 did before the Shady/Aftermath deal and Saigon did with "Warning Shots". Having something like that in retail stores could only help him.

and on Dream Big he also had a few parts where he went off, but he was supposed too, the beat paused a little and gave him a chance to spit a few fast bars then get back to the slow flow, u gotta listen to the beat people...
