DUBCNN: Exclusive Interview Big Hutch on Crooked I

[Jaydc]

The real reason Crooked I is upset is because:

1) Detox may possibly comeout (if it ever drops, it will be within the next 12 months) and he doesn't want the diss tracks with Snoop surfacing through people interested in his older work.  Then Snoop/Dre hear the music and say keep him out of our business even if the disses were a decade old.  Dre has still blocked Daz out of his music and it's 2010.

2) He's bitter towards Death Row.  At the end of the day, he dedicated his career to the label, and for whatever reason, he couldn't deliver packageable music (catchy club music like "California Love") to the type of crowd Tha Row aims to sell records to and Suge never gave him, top dogg, soopafly, or realest a chance because of other albums flopping due to mainstream emphasis on east coast in early 2001.  The "So Damn Hood" single also didn't catch on the radio like it should've.  Suge aimed for all his releases to sell millions and anything below platinum was considered below expectations on tha row.

3) People are going to look at it as his debut whether he likes it or not.  And in my opinion, it's a great collection of work so why not be happy.  He can't keep fans waiting any longer, it's been more than 12 years and no album.  Now fans will have something tangible that's a collection of tracks with a theme like Big hutch was saying.

4) People are going to compare it to his new work.  The consensus in the polls is that about 60% prefer his Death Row music to his newer music.  He will always have to deal with comparisons regardless, but this just gives a specific piece of work to point to when people are comparing his work.

Fuck are you talking about?Nobody likes his death row shit over his stuff now.Hes ten times the artist now .

LOL there was the polls and cruise the site, more people are asking for his Bang On Em, Crook Show, etc. then they are looking for his new stuff.

[The-Leak (aka) kingwell (bka) JULES]

Yeah.  I peeped this and after not hearing some of his Death Row stuff in a long time.  It can be said that his flow and delivery were a bit more wicked back then.  But his lyrics and subject content are so much better now, it dwarfs his former self vastly.
