Let's just keep it real, if Crooked I suddenly switches up to that "Miami" sound, he's going to instantly lose his main fan base. Those are the people who kept him relevant the last 10 or so years. The industry will recognize this as selling out and it will not work to his advantage. The risk is in no way worth it.

If he moved to Miami, he would have Cool & Dre, and Scott Storch in his backyard, and be able to hookup with Mannie Fresh too (imagine, Crook over a Mannie beat -- now that's heat!). Plus, the networking capabilities are endless in Miami...all the big platinum ballers party in Miami -- he could link up with Diddy and make some good connections through him. Where he's at right now, there's no producers, there's no solid connections, and for some reason he doesn't record with The Game or Snoop. So what is he really even doing there? He could easily become a house name if he moved to the 305.

He could easily become a house name if he moved to the 305. How do you know he ain't making money? On the other hand, how do you know that just because he goes over there that all of them artists are just gonna accept that and give this guy the keys like he's that important to their movement? Crook has a good thing going with "Slaughterhouse". it makes no sense from my perspective for him to just suddenly switch up and hit up Florida like it's the only place that it can happen for him. I get that Miami seems like the "place to be" because it's your backyard but it's not gonna be that important to every artist out here. You don't think Cali has networking possibilties out there? Or New York? Or where ever? Just because an artist comes down to Miami doesn't mean that they automatically get a pass to go into the studio with Cool & Dre or Storch or whatever producers ride out there. If those producers are feeling you, it's gonna happen. You going out there ain't suddenly gonna make your music more appealing to them.
Here's a little interview with Royce and Crooked I at the 50 Cent Concert. I saw it on another forum, but I don't think it's been posted here yet. They ask Crooked when he's gonna drop "Pig Face, Weapon Waste," and he kind of sidestepped the question. He pretty much just says he's going to hold back and let Royce release "Street Hop" first. So, still no date, but it looks like there's little to no chance of it dropping this month. And the wait continues...
