So What Is Crooked I Slated To Be ?

[OG Hack Wilson]

and EFfex, why is Crook so scared to just release it?  lol hes been off the row for 4 years by now

This topic really needs a whole forum of it's own, LOL. I'm not so sure he's "scared", but I think Crooked is really the only person who can answer this question.

To be honest, I think he's waiting on the "perfect" time, but to be honest the perfect time passed several times. When "Boom Boom Clap" was out was a good time. After "Hip Hop Weekly" would have been nice too, but I think he'll be in a good place after Slaughterhouse drops. This is probably the most attention he's had yet.

after being on JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE woulda been nice too lol


too bad death row and daz didnt both drop the say hi... at the same time

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

You know the one that capitalizes off his popularity and makes him the most money!!! 

I'm glad he didn't get big yet or we wouldn't have this humble MC that we have today.  Lyrically he shits on his past self.  I listened to this leak, if it's real, and it isn't anything spectacular.

Crooked I is the best rapper alive, doesn't matter if he drops an album, the HUNDREDS of songs he's done without a wack verse proves it

[Hazzard]

What the fuck happened to him droppin' that "B.O.S.S." album, one song every week?

B.O.S.S. is dropping first quarter 2010.

"Mr. Pig Face Weapon Waste EP" - July
"Slaughterhouse" - August
"Group Therapy" - Fall/Winter

LOL

ITS NOT REAL

Oh, word?  I didn't take the time to read up on it.  Thanks for the info.  I still think that the Crooked-I of today > Crooked-I of the past.  He's like wine, he only gets better as he ages. Pause.  Not many artists can say that.

Crooked I is a loser and the weakest in Slaughter House. lol I still cant believe these guys formed a group. I mean there all dope but there all overlooked for one reason or another. Crooked I is dope but hes not marketable look at that face. what 16 year old girl is going to be able to sleep with a Crooked I poster in her room?
Joel Ortiz looks mechanic from the Bronx. 
Royce looks like a child molester.
Joe Budden is the only one I think can make it. Good flow and he is personable.

Crooked I has monkey face hes not going anywhere

Thats some true shit. Crooked will go down as one of the most lyrical to ever come out the west, no doubt.

agreed!!

ill admit though, the "This nigga's never going broke again, picture me poor" verse from the Wake Up Show is still Crook's best verse

The perfect time has passed plenty of times. I disagree with this being the most attention he's ever had..... He had a lot of attention in 2001 - 2003, which I'd say he had the most attention he's ever had. He had a massive billboard in Beverly Hills, and was featured on proper commercial releases going gold, as well as collaborating with Murder Inc who were huge and all over TV/Radio at the time. He was more anticipated back then than he is now, or ever will be IMO.

No offence, but the more and more mixtapes that come out, do nothing to further my interest in Crooked I.. A lot of his "intended" album tracks now sound like watered down current rap with above average lyrics, or sound like simple mixtape tracks. I listen to the Say Hi To The Bad Guy E.P. that I "purchased", and hear how more Raw, and hard he was... Don't get me wrong, Crooked I is dope, and he spits fire, but he's lost the formula required to make good music. I hate having to listen to a "C.O.B., Circle of Bosses, Long Beach N***, and a whole load of other shout outs" before and after each verse over some 80's sped up sample. He can drop as many mixtapes as he likes but interest has certainly declined, and if any has upped a few heads it's because of the recent Say Hi To The Bad Guy leak and has nothing to do with the Block Obama

He should drop some mixtape thru iTunes with some BOSS leftovers to keep people interested into hearing that shit... I love Crook's music but I'm gonna be real with y'all - I haven't checked for his solo shit after that "I'm Still A MC" dropped... He's a dope MC but business-wise dude's lost in space - he don't know if he wants to still rolling out with this BOSS shit or just record another new album with fresh ideas...

I haven't checked for his solo shit after that "I'm Still A MC" dropped...

Yeah, that's the last song i heard too before i checked out "If You Ever Hear Me", now that's a MONSTER
