Which Will Come Out First? Crooked I's Solo Album or Dr. Dre's Detox?

[Hancock]

Seems like both of these albums are urban myths in the rap game. Both of these albums are highly anticipated and over hyped. Crooked I's album was supposed to come out in 1999. Dr. Dre's Detox was supposed to be out in 2002.

Which will happen first?

[Black Excellence]

they comin' out the same day: neveruary 1st.

Nah man. I heard it was on Neveruary 34th. All joking aside though, definitely Crooked's. He's not a household name and the only people he has to please are his die hard fans who will get the album no matter what critics say. Dre has to cater his shit to the everyday hip hop fan and the fact that he was supposed to release it a decade ago. With that said, fuck both of these dudes.

[Gamestarr]

I think Crook will drop before Dre cause Detox aint never droppin.

Gotta say I think I'll see a unicorn before either drops though.

[Sccit]

Crooked I is comin' out soon...it's not as big of a deal as it once was, now that Slaughterhouse is out.

[DeeezNuuuts83]

Mayweather-Pacquiao will happen first

Crooked's album was supposed to come out in 1999? He didn't even have a buzz on Death Row until "Too Gangsta" dropped. I'd say 2001 was probably the first year that he was realistically expected to drop.

he briefly worked on one in 1999 but it never resulted in a whole LP of songs...but 1999 is where "Real Thugs" and the "Nobody understands me" with Erykah Badu songs came from.  also "the homie" with DPG was meant to be a Crooked I song too.  not sure how DEath Row got a hold of these but i bet it has to do with Daz taking masters with him...

[Jimmy H.]

Yes, but I think working on music that year is a lot different from an album being supposed to drop.

EDIT:


DX: You talked about ups and downs there. What do you remember being the worst down that really made you get on the brink of saying “I’m going to get out of this industry.” What was the biggest down you could recall?

Crooked I: It’s kind of hard, dog. That’s because I learned my lessons early. They didn’t waste time. The industry didn’t waste time shittin’ on a nigga. My first deal at Virgin [Records], I remember they just got rid of the whole Urban department. They just got rid of the whole Urban department. I had a fuckin’ album done. I had a single called “You Ain’t the Homie” with Daz and Kurupt on it when Daz and Kurupt were burning up everything moving. I was a teenager. You know what I’m saying? I had another single with Nate Dogg ready to come right behind it. R.I.P. to my homie Nate. I’m just a teenger in the game and I’m thinkin’, “Aw man, it’s on and poppin’.” Then, they tell you they getting’ rid of the whole Urban department and I’m back on the fuckin’ streets. You know what I’m sayin’? [Laughs] Back then, it wasn’t as easy to just go bounce and get another deal, you know what I mean? So, it was like, it could all be over in five minutes. Then, I went to Death Row Records and that was tough for me mentally. I was making money. Whether I put out a record or not, I was getting bread so it wasn’t a financial thing; it was a mental thing with all the controversy surrounding Death Row, people being murdered and getting death threats on my life constantly. That was a mental challenge. Then it took me to another place in my life and it became, “Okay, I don’t give a fuck. I don’t give a fuck about shit. Nobody better not run up on me. Nobody better not talk no bullshit to me.” It took me to a place where I was out of character for a long ass time because it was going down that real. You know? You read the newspaper and you see a guy that you was just having a push-up contest with in the studio found dead, killed, shot in the head. It was like, “Damn.” I became friends with a lot of those guys over there and a lot of those guys was getting’ killed left and right. That’s just a tough thing to keep going to funerals. I understood why Tupac had a sense of urgency when he was on Death Row. I fully understood it because you never know if somebody is going to try to put you in the dirt with all the wild shit that’s going on. So, you just want to get your music out. You just want to beat the clock, like you’re racing against time. I could really understand where Tupac was coming from. But, I mean, there was good times too, though. I wouldn’t paint the picture like Death Row was just a dark and gloomy experience for me because it wasn’t. There were definitely ups. There were times when Suge [Knight] would say, “Yo, let’s go to Maui. I got the whole top floor of the 4 Seasons. Bring whoever you want to. It’s on me. Take a trip so we could get away.” Doing things like that. Suge also helped me learn the business. I was his right-hand man when it came to the music shit so he introduced me to a lot of execs that I got a lot of game from. He introduced me to Russell Simmons. He introduced me Lyor Cohen. So, that kind of shit is valuable. They gave me game even if we just talked for 10 minutes. I soaked it up and I learned and I took it into the game with me. So, we had some good times. We had some bad times. That’s just life but that was really on my mind like, “Do I need to back out of this for a minute? Because I might end up in that cell forever because I’m not lettin’ anybody run up on me. Period.”

they comin' out the same day: neveruary 1st.

they comin' out the same day: neveruary 1st.

this is my fear


i really want both Cd's to drop too, even though I really think the Dre cd will be wack as fuck based on his recent work.  and if it's good it's because he has ghost producers...it's a no-win situation for Dre based on all the yes men and dick riding rappers who would never speak against him.

[pixtr]

question is did Dre manage to release it before died

[papa-smurf]

u a see dogs & cats fly before crooked or detox album drop

[FUCK-YOU-BItch]

DETOX of course DRE got more fucking money than fuckin Crooked Failure I, so what´s the reason for this stupid ass topic?
