At this point I really don't care anymore - if it comes out, it does - if not, then so be it.Like you said, he's recent stuff has been solid at best so I don't think he can top tracks like "Str8 Bosses" but I hope "Million Dollar Story" will have quality material on it... "B.O.S.S." is what I want to hear tho.
i think its gotten to the point where not having a solo album is almost crooked i's "thing"...
i think the damage is done already to his career, he delayed it so long
I say now it would just be a mistake. For more knowledgeable fans who know how long it's been delayed & understand the expectations, it's almost on a Detox level where it has to be an undoubtable classic for it to get any sort of praise without being considered a "disappointment". And as much great as I think Crooked I is, I don't think he could produce an album that people would throw in the great album discussion.We live in an era where people have three songs connected to their career & the rest of the album just gets thrown in the trash anyway. Even really good albums get lost in the nostalgia that everyone else just compares to classics of the 90's. & most of that "classicness" is more connected to the impact those albums had. & like I've said before, it's not possible to have impact like that on this genre anymore. ESPECIALLY with Crooked's style of rapping.There is no denying he can murk a beat better than almost anyone. Just gotta respect that for what it is & stop looking for more.
