Wideawake & Diss Tracks / Crooked I

[V2DHeart]

Crooked I is trying to get on Detox, by shout outs, submissions of ghost writing, props and so on, which is why he's showing his respect to Dr Dre rather than Suge. Had Suge still owned a powerhouse label, and on top, it'd be the opposite. It's just business, but with the music business and anyone aspiring to make money, there's a fine line between business and being a hypocrite. He probably sold his publishing rights back to Suge to get out of his deal at Death Row those years back, because WIDEawake now own the rights

There is more than just Slap Back that disses Snoop hard in the unreleased catalouge

That’s the feeling I got too.  I agree with you 100.  Crook is trying to kiss the right person to get on Detox right now because he knows what a HUGE boost that would be for his image and his career.  And if that means kissing up to Dre and Snoop, he knows the payout from being on there and possibly getting some Dre produced cuts for himself in the future.

Imagine if there were 10 or 15 tracks sitting around with disses that Wideawake released.  If you were Snoop Dogg, would you be very happy if someone had that much material out hating on you even if it was 7 years ago?  This could ruin his chances with getting on Detox.  That’s the only reason why he would send verbal warnings on a track towards Wideawake instead of calling them up and handling that business behind closed doors professionally.

Snoop has actually heard the mixtape disses, and other retail ones including (for some bizarre reasons) a couple of unreleased disses, which makes me wonder how he would have been able to hear those

It's not surprising considering a few people have them.

One, Crooked I's beef was Dre was ages ago. They've squashed that shit already and Crooked grew the fuck up. He was only beefing with Dre because of Suge. Now he is no longer associated with Suge. And Dre did help build the Row, him and Suge were partners. So Dre deserves his credit and this is a Dre homage track and not a Suge Knight one, so why should Crooked I even bother mentioning Suge's name on it.
 

  Crooked never had beef with Dre.  They were always good.

To whom it may concern.. I dropped that Dre homage verse long before I met anyone from Wideawake #okbye

That makes more sense. Props for him clarifying the issue and not keeping his fans guessing why he said it.  Still wonder if Wideawake will drop the disses in it's OG form, or are they going to make "Say Hi To tha Bad Guy" minus the disses and turn it into a compilation of leftover tracks.  I don't think Wideawake will keep their word and release everything "in its original form for the fans."

[BIGWORM]

If he don't own the music he should shut his mouth. If he owns the music he should still shut his mouth and sue their ass of when they release it...

[V2DHeart]

Releasing (superior "music") material from an era - the Death Row era, which formed a large bulk of his present fan base who currently support him should dictate as to whether or not it gets released, and Crooked I shouldn't be so ignorant of that fact.

Many have stood by him this long, and bought the slaughterhouse album, the mixtapes, and maintained interest, and he's wanting to deprive them of material they've been longing to hear for years?

I can understand to a degree him not wanting material released with harsh lyrics when building relationships with other artists he'll be attacking, but I mean come on, Snoop released Pimp Slap, and other disses on retail albums heard by a larger audience than what the Crooked I albums will ever be heard by, and Crooked I has let bygones be bygones, and I believe Snoop would as well

One thing to consider for Crooked I is, that if the Death Row material created a large amount of his current fan base who still support him, then releasing more material from that era can only be a good thing in growing that fan base

let's just say that slap bacc is not your average diss, snoop & crooked relationship has taken many years to build for watever reasons, it's still a very fragile relationship at that and it def wouldn't help the cause if certain material came out. yes pimp slap did come out and all but it didnt mention any names nor the lyrics are nowhere near as harsh.

[V2DHeart]

Snoop will know by Crooked I's lyrical talent, that the disses will be harsh and hard hitting, and perhaps Crooked I is just saying it unsolicited, so that it appears Crooked I has - on record - attempted to persuade WIDEawake not to release the material fine well knowing that they will anyway. Crooked I is (besides NINA) the top artist they intent to make a return investment on on top of the original roster. They've constantly named him when talking about which material they are in possession of, and know that his project(s) was the most anticipated post-2000, and a thing to remember Crooked I never actually said he didn't want the material not to be released, just to get at him before doing so
