I'll say this. It's on a MUCH smaller scale, so don't take it incredibly literal. BUT, lets not act like when Wu-Tang dropped "36 Chambers" y'all didn't think Method Man was dope as fuck. You didn't need Tical to solidify that opinion.Slaughterhouse debut was really dope. Coulda used some work in direction of songs, themes, production. Better hook game. Making more songs along the lines of "Move On". But let's say Slaughterhouse, under Shady, drops their second album & it's the dopest shit in a long while. Why doesn't he get that pass Method Man got in '93?

Why doesn't he get that pass Method Man got in '93?Because Meth was a part of two classic albums. Since when is Slaughterhouse one of the greatest groups of all time and since when is Crooked I a part of two of the greatest albums of all time? A more legit comparison would be Kool Kim from the UMCs. You ask who? Exactly. Actually scratch that, because he put a solo out.Even if he were a part of a classic group it might not be enough. I don't see anyone raving about Masta Killa or U-God.
dont care if he has an album out or not
Actually Crooked is in a very good position right now, as a part of Slaughterhouse signed to Eminem. You guys forget that he is bigger than he has ever been at the moment. Us on this forum might have been following his music for over a decade and are frustrated about no album dropping, but dude grinded his way up and he has constantly expanded his fanbase and is more known now than ever before. Sure, "the album" never dropped, but he has released more music (both original songs and freestyles) than a lot of artists with regular retail releases.

Crooked is actually in the best position he's been in career wise. People like to claim Death Row was the height of his musical career, but if you actually take the time to count out the accomplishments he's made since then, he's in such a better position. Even since 2006/2007 when B.O.S.S. was finally going to drop, he's on a national platform with Slaughterhouse and now Eminem. He may have lost fans along the way, but the amount that he has gained since then is far greater.

I don't see anyone raving about Masta Killa or U-God.Not my point. They didn't drop the album & people were like "WOW, Method Man is one of the all-time greats". Obviously years went by & the album gained more "classic" value & is now regarded as one of the greatest Hip Hop albums of all-time. My point is that after it came out, right away people recognized how good he was. He could of got popped after that & people today would talk about how good he was off a group album.Crooked could bring some amazing shit to the table next time around & I wouldn't need a solo album to solidify his dopeness.Will he? Unlikely. But point is you don't "need" a solo album to recognize the greatness.
