Crooked I - Hood Star - The Official Dubcc Review

[OG Hack Wilson]

lol u can't even find the album in stores

Wideawake keeps failing

yep


funny how "lost sessions" and "ultimate collections" made it into stores but the kurupt and crooked albums can't

[Jimmy H.]

Kurupt was at FYE but I had no interest in it. Danny Boy's album was exactly nowhere. I just ordered it and Hoodstar off Amazon.

The lack of availability might have something to do with Lavi leaving. Snoop's shit was available in Best Buy with as an "exclusive limited edition" and Re-Lit was big enough to get in the weekly ads with its own place on the new release end cap but since the year started, Best Buy don't even carry the albums outside of through special orders.

if they added 'do it again' and hutch's version of 'so damn hood' .. this would've been a good release, 7 years ago.

lmfao if i could rep u i would.

I never actually heard the album (only downloaded a few tracks) so am considering copping it. Key questions is though, what's the quality like? I remember being dissapointed with Lost Sessions cos the mixing was so shit on that project, what's this like?

Props bro

how many tracks of hood star were on the leaked say hi to the bad guy ?

 Well there were two leaked versions of "Say Hi to the Bad Guy," the FTP version and the LSN version.  But between the two of them, they had every song on them that is on "Hood Star" except "Go Hard," and the itunes bonus track, "Ghetto Love."  However, the versions of "Fuck With You" and "Me and My Dogg" that appear on "Hood Star" are also different versions than the ones on the FTP version or the LSN version.  The Hood Star version of "Me and My Dogg" sounds like it may have been a different take.  It also features Danny Boy and K-Ci whereas the FTP version featured Ray J and the LSN version featured Ray J and K-Ci.  There was no "Fuck With You" on the FTP version of "Say Hi to the Bad Guy."  The one on the LSN version features Gail Gotti.  The "Hood Star" version is Crooked I solo, so it has an extra Crooked I verse.  So far, those are the only differences I'm aware of, aside from sound quality, which is all over the place on all of them.

[woof]

i'm so crooked has gangsta girl on it (lsn version)

[EFFeX]

The version of "West Coast (aka Suge's West Coast)" is different on the FTP version. The FTP version features Ray J, the LSN version is another singer.

The version of "House Party" on Hood Star is the FTP version and the version on LSN is mixed differently and has a slightly different vocal arrangement.
