Promotion for the LP started with classic Coming Soon, then we got the date, now they changed it to may/june, dropped MDS EP with 2 new songs. I predict that Crooked will be concentrated on SH album in may/june so thats another coming soon for his debut LOL, lets wait and see...
-
ground hogg day + im waiting for a download link.
crook will see some money from me if he drops an actual album in circa 10 years. :laugh:
-
I think everything's already said regarding a Crooked I album release date.
-
Damn, i knew somethin' like this was gonna happen. Crooked still waitin' for the "right" time to drop the album. If the next Slaughterhouse album on Shady will be successful, Crooked I should come out with an album right after that.
-
is there a Crooked I announcement ??
-
pathetic
-

You mean the announcement of the announcment? ;)

i supported regardless, y'all bitchez stop cryin like hoes ;)

Omg this is so lame about Crooked I.
Hopin to do 50 Cent/Weezy numbers.. The fuck is wrong with him.
Just drop the fuckin album and realize you will never do more than 15k tops.
Crook is my fav rapper of all time but damn this I hate about him.

he's still my favorite living rapper (behind Pac and Big L) but god dammit I never trust his release dates :D
-
i have never heard of 4 tracks been called an EP....funny without a doubt
i have...but they suck
-
I will support the ep because I'm a fan and I want to see Crooked make some money. But still, this is fucking stupid.
-
is he joking with the song "everyday?" the flow sounds lazy as fuck and theres no emotion in it.
-

Yeah. In the old days that would have been a maxi-single. I guess as artists or record companies (as the case would have it, not sure in this situation) have gotten lazier, extremely short EPs have become more common.
-
Crooked I should just leak these supposed albums he has in the vaults from '05, '06, '07, '08, etc. and just start fresh. They're going to make as much money being leaked on the internet as they are collecting dust on a shelf in Crooked I's living room.
-
sucks for his few fans
-
haha man I wish vegas would get some odds on crooked I album release dates. I would borrow as much money as fucking possible and bet on it not dropping every time a release date is mentioned.
-
I agree, this is like a maxi-single
An ep is about 7 songs
Crooked I is one of my favorite artist ever but sheesh dude. Get over yourself already and stop wasting your fans time
-
crooked don't any of you shit.

pathetic

he won't drop an album before Detox, he thinks he can capitalise on the release
I said that several weeks ago. Fucking hypocrite.

Huh? How will Detox help Crooked I?
Dumb ass idea. I would understand if this was Slim Tha Mobster who's is actually on Detox..

Crooked admitted to writing a few verses for Detox in '09 - maybe the Shady signing gets SH on it
-
he ain't waitin for detox
he's waiting for SH to drop an album on shady
we all know detox is gonna end up being wack and won't help anyone
-
well, it is good to see a new song from crooked I....I wasn't paying attention to any release dates...so I am not disappointed by anything....
I am glad the dude is alive and well

I think that would have been a much better idea than this "ep." If he didn't want a blemish on his perfect record of not having dropped an album, he could have called them mixtapes or "street albums." I think something like that would have had more of an impact. I don't so much have a problem with the ep in principle as I do in its execution. The ep was essentially two new songs. Maybe this wasn't his idea. It could be that Gracie Productions came up with this. But it seems like this was a feeble attempt at damage control whilst having to broach the subject of yet another album delay. Had this ep even been like "Horseshoe Gang's "Opening Round" and been comprised of at least several tracks that were actually cuts from the album, it might have been better received. But with the exception of "Villain," I'm not even sure the tracks on there were even intended for "Million Dollar Story." "OkBye" originally appeared on the tracklist for "Planet C.O.B. volume 1" and more recently was a free download here on dubcnn. It just seems like this was thrown together very last minute, and I'm not sure it's going to make anyone forget that the actual album is delayed yet again, this time with only a very general time-table for release.

if that was the case, then why was he so quick to set a release date after the release of the detox singles?

Seriously the songs sound wack....... Where are all the RAW Crooked I songs gone, can't believe I pre ordered this shit #okbye2Afan
-

What's there to be jealous of? Money? Nope. He's not getting any money from touring. He obviously is not getting any money from record sales. Fame? Not that either. I have about as many fans as Crooked I does.

Alright, just finished listening to this "EP." Aside from the fact that I think calling this an EP is stupid, here are my initial thoughts on the songs themselves:
1. Everyday
Some people have said that they thought Crook's delivery was flat on this one and his lyrics aren't up to his usual level. Personally, I think Crook's delivery is alright, but nothing great. I thought he had a few really clever lines on this one. I liked the "lay you flatter than the cardboard..." line and the Van Gogh line. The Glenn Beck incest line though...really Crooked? I know you don't like dude, but is it necessary to say something like that about dude's kids? At any rate, I like the beat on this one. Crook's flow is alright, but considering some are saying this is supposed to be a single, I wouldn't say it's worthy of that.
2. Villain
I never listened to this song before this release. I saw that it had come out some time ago but I originally intended to go in cold and listen to the entire album all at once. I've since given up on that. Anyway, I'd say this is the best song of the four. This song at least has the feel of a single, to me. Sally Anthony does a nice job on the hook and Crook's lyrics and delivery sound good on this one.
3. OkBye
After seeing some of the responses, I wasn't expecting much. After hearing it though, I actually thought it was pretty good. It's not a "Million Dollar Story" track though, and it probably shouldn't be. While there's nothing wrong with the song, it was probably a better fit for the "Planet C.O.B." EP, which is where it was originally supposed to show up. Crooked's lyrics are good, but the beat is just average. I wouldn't say it's good enough to warrant being on the album we've waited more than a decade to hear.
4. G's Stay Low
I kind of like the beat on this one, but it sounds more like a mixtape or a soundtrack song to me than an album cut. Still, it's pretty good. I would probably rank it as the second best track on this EP.
Overall, there's some decent stuff on here, but it's obvious this was thrown together haphazardly and they slapped the EP label on it just so they could call it something. But I see no real cohesiveness between the songs that would indicate they go together. If anything, they probably spent more time deciding what songs not to include on here and save for the full length album, as evidenced by the inclusion of "Villain" and "OkBye." That being the case, I feel I can still hold out some hope that "Million Dollar Story" may end up being a good album. Since, after listening to this, I still feel like I've barely heard anything off of "Million Dollar Story." I just hope that whoever is in charge of releasing the album gets their shit together.

Yeah, I do too. Personally, I knew better though. I was just planning on buying it after the release date, if in fact it was released. For what it's worth, I think they will honor the pre-orders like they say. But it's just a question of when, and who knows when it comes to that.

even I didn't preorder the LP and I'm crooked's biggest fan

Awww fuck this EP shit !!! Crook needs to understand his true fans don't want no more songs, freestyle series, EPs, and all that shit !!! We all know he's dope but we fuckin need a full lengh album !!
DAMN He should be in the World Record Book for making his fans wait more than 10 years for his debut album...

lmfaooooo
yeah very clever...smfh.

that's the problem with punchline rappers. There's so much potential for wack lines or shit that doesn't hit. Especially for a dude who tries to do it in every song. Nigga needs to focus more on conceptual tracks that people will give a fuck about, then save his best punchlines for only a few songs that will blow people away.

Okay. I take it you didn't like that line. It's all subjective, but to me I thought it was a good simile.
-
What is it with crook and ep's every few months there seems to be one, does he seriously think thats what the fans want.

Probably gets a good amount from ghostwriting though.

He's avoiding the official album format because in his mind he hasn't put out that official album that will define his career.

If crook ever drops an album i'll cop it, but if not hes dropped a shit load of dope music that i can bump.

Okay, well we disagree about that line, but we seem to agree on the song in general. I wasn't a fan of that one.

Yeah. I would agree that that's probably right because he'll even occasionally release an EP on time, or at least, eventually. It seems to only be the LP that never drops.

LOL On the DubCNN main page "Everyday" is now available for DL as well. So basically we are expected to buy the EP for ONE TRACK!?! Pathetic! I'll wait for the album.
Edit: AND it's gonna be on the LP as well...

Lol. They do that every time. I'll never understand it. A few weeks ago, they were selling OkBye t-shirts with the songs "OkBye" and an extended version of "Let Me Buy You a Drink" as instant downloads after you bought the shirt. Then, the very next day (I believe) they posted the song "OkBye" all over the internet for free. So basically, if you bought the shirt you kind of got screwed on that one. Granted, everything leaks online eventually. But it appeared as though Gracie Prod. themselves were the ones posting "OkBye" for free everywhere.

An extended version of "Let Me Buy You a Drink"? Is it good? That's one of my favorites from Crook.

Don't know, I haven't heard it yet. I didn't buy one of the t-shirts, so I didn't get it when it was first released. I'm sure it's floating around the net by now, though.

if the nigga could sell freestyles and make money off that shit I'm sure he would. We havent got an album because the nigga ain't made an album full of original material that he feels is good enough to put out. Crook been working on his "illmatic" for the past 10 years. He doesn't want to drop something that's gonna be disappointing and flop.
-
Imthe ggest crooked supporter but this ep suck & dont make sense.only 4 songs with 2 old songs.It sound lazy & something he threw out 2 get some quik money or something.idk why he put this out.its alot of dope snippets i heard from crooked that never came out that he could of put on this ep.but hey if he ever drop a real album im a support it.
-
what did crooked i mean when he said if u dont buy my album the illuminati will.I never believed that rappers is part of that illuminati shit but man.i hope crooked aint trying 2 tell epoeple he sold his soul 2 be down with eminem.but anyway it go.the ep sucks.nobody gonna buy that shit
