lets see how will it sell...

[V2DHeart]

I like the idea that they are trying to create something new from the known "Untouchable" and "Say Hi To The Bad Guy" titles, but they should have just put out the Say Hi To The Bad Guy album:

Bitch
Hoodstar
Live At Tha Row
West Coast
Lil Youngsters

Should have taken the above from this project, and added in:

Shoulda Made You My Wife
Do It Again
Still Tha Row OG
Welcome to LA
Slap Back
Say Hi To The Bad Guy (aka Bad Guy)
Say Bye To the Bad Guy
Ghetto Love
So Damn Hood (remix w/Sisqo Juvenile)
Who Wants to Fk tonight OG (feat Ja Rule & Danny Boy)

& Hoodstar remix as a bonus

They should have done a cartoon like sketch cover as similar to the Death Row billboard ad. 16 tracks. Tight, some laid back, some disses, variety, and kept to a more original concept, and would have achieved a bigger purchase from music buyers

For the current release though, it's decent enough. Cover is good, the tracklist isn't broken down enough to allow his main fan base to purchase though in terms of new unheards, or anything. 1/2 tracks these days in the days of the internet age wont make people purchase. There's too many avenues to get those tracks, and usually for free. How many people bought the clean version of Chronic re-lit from walmart? I rest my case

[DTG Entertainment]

So, Go Hard was unheard and it wasn't tight minus the Danny Boy chorus. Lol. The rest was well...I've heard it before. Lol.

[EFFeX]

The project is what it is, we all knew it would be previously heard music other than a couple exceptions.

Bring on Untouchable.

Don't get me wrong, musically Crooked does the damn thing, I just don't count this as an album no matter what Darren Vegas and Big Hutch say.

theres a version with ray j too... everything ray j did, seems like danny boy redid or vise versa

True. Also, the quality is terrible on this release compared to the leaks. Lol.

[acgrundy]

so the mixing and mastering isn't good?

[DTG Entertainment]

Nope. The MP3 leaks were much better. You won't be able to hear it in your speakers, but in your headphones you will.

[Jaydc]

So the quality is worse?how is the danny boy chorus on me and my dogg.Because i really enjoyed ray j on the chorus it was probably my favourite song from the leaked bootleg.I dont know If ill like danny boy on it.

Compare it to the LSN version or even the FTP version. You'll hear it. Lol.

Here's a few examples:

I usually skip past that song. Lol. New verses?

[Jaydc]

the other version of me and my dogg is so much better.ray js version sounds a lot better.K-Ci sounds fucking awful and danny boys vocals are boring.And is it just me or is crookeds vocals on the other version sound better as well?this sounds like a different take then the other one.It doesnt have as much emotion in it.
