We have been expecting a Crooked I album every year;
1999 ("The Puzzle")
2000 (Dogg Pound Records album)
2001 ("Untouchable")
2002 ("Untouchable")
2003 ("Say Hi To Tha Bad Guy")
2004 ("Mama's Boy: Got a Loaded Gun")
2005 ("Boss Music")
2006 ("BOSS")
2007 ("BOSS")
2008....
They NEVER get released....
Crooked I quote "05' is mine", quote "This year I'm dropping BOSS I PROMISE" etc etc etc. It's got to the point where I will still buy his album (if its ever released). But there has been to many false promises, and album delays, I've lost all interest in Crooked I, I dont have faith that he will ever drop an album.
It's obvious that "BOSS" isnt dropping until 2008, he will lose any buzz he has, unless he LETS THE FANS KNOW WHATS GOING ON, Crooked you need to let the fans know WHY the albums arent dropping, you need to give more news and info to the fans, you need to drop a new mixtape, JUST UPDATE THE FUCKING FANS.
I've given up!
Peace.

nope im not loosing interest .i still love his shit...but i just dont give a fuck ...because i know its not coming out anytime soon...no matter what release date he gives us next..it will be like allways.... "early 2008.....april..early summer....then august...final date is okt....but its def comin in 2008" ::)..lol
thats why i hope that his deathrow shit is coming out soon...and im def looking for ward to the "mickstape" and yb3 even though they are not albums
-
Since you have taken your time out putting together this poll.. I see U havent totally lost all your interest ;)..
I voted Im still following.. But I agree with U, he should let us know whats up with the deal. and stop making stupid promises ( "its dropping in october" for example..)
-
voted the 2nd option
-
I dig the freestyles, but as far as a album I don't anticipate it anymore. If it drops, great, if not, great. I'll pick it up if it drops but I am not going to wait on his every word to see when it drops.
-
I forgot about the album since he dropped that skee tape and freestyle week
-
Isnt his album suppose to drop in a few weeks LOL?
-
Yeah I tend to lose interest out of frustration. Crooked I so talented and it just pisses me off that he won't tell these major labels to fuck off and go big independent like Jim Jones. But Crooked I has a way of stringing me back in every time.
-
I lost interest over a year ago, possibly 2 years ago. I dont' check out any of these hip hop weekly things, and honestly I don't even care about his old unreleased albums anymore. He reminds me of the never cry wolf story...how many interviews has he given talking about his upcoming album, or his release date, or his label situation. I don't believe any of it, I just believe it will never come out.
-
How could we lose interest when he drops heat every week and his Young Boss mixtapes were classic.
-
voted for the 2nd option, I'm coppin' his shit the day it drops... Crook is a beast
and y'all wanna know why his albums never dropped? label politics... simple as that, some shit none of us know why
-
how come theres only two options and both of them imply supporting crooked i. how about the 3rd option which is : "who cares about him. and i wont buy his album, never have and never will follow his music"
it aint no label politics. please believe that. it might have been while he was on death row, but it sure as hell isnt now. fuck signing a deal or waiting for something to pop off. be pro-active and just fucking rent a studio, make some songs, pay a small fee to get them mixed/mastered, get someone to design the artwork, send it out to get printed up. its a wrap. you got a street album you can slang out the trunk. I know kids that are 18 years old that be doing that shit. Crooked is what, 30 now? please..
like yeah the HHW are cool and all (i dont even bother checking them out)... but why the fuck is he doing this shit? why the fuck dont u just record a new song every week instead of doing a fucking freestyle over someone elses beat? its a fuckin waste of time. if he recorded an original track for every single HHW hes done, shit, theres prob 2 albums right there. i understand doing freestyles and jackin beats and shit.. but when that becomes the FOCUS of your career... like thats a problem right there.. you become known as that guy that jacks beats every week and does a freestyle. niggaz been jackin 4 beats for a decade.. what are you doing thats really different than the rest? nothing.

Exactly...dude is tryna blow up like 50 cent...wake up crook it ain't ever gonna happen. the people behind the music labels are businessmen, out there to make money. If crook was an artist that is going to sell millions of copies he would have offers left and right. but instead his album just gets delayed or he gets dropped from the label. Do you think there is a single businessman in this world who has a product in which they believe in 110% that will make them rich, yet they don't introduce it? Hell no. There is such a thing as introducing a product before its ready and it flops because it was rushed, but shit man, I been knowin about crook for 10 years now...ain't no rushing him. Go independent, drop your album for your male groupies all over the net, and make your money...crook ain't gonna go platinum...EVER...that is a guaranteed bet I would take with anyone. And I like the dude...I think he has a real cool style...but sometimes you just gotta really face reality.

Crooked All day Everyday!!
FTH
-
I'm hesitant in my decision because I've been a Crooked I fan so long. I'll put it like this...IF he ever releases an album, I will definately go pick it up, but I'm not holding my breath anymore. Even Saigon and Immortal Technique drop albums, and they just as far from blowing up as Crook is.
-
I've still got faith in Crook... through thick and thin...
-
I'd love an album but Hip Hop Weekly is making up for that
-
BOSS... this year (please)
-
crooked who?

You can check him out here http://dynastyentgroup.com/

I really don't give a shit anymore. Dude is basically dead to me. I don't bother downloading the Hip-Hop Weeklys. I just want a album. Don't give a shit if it's a internet release/foreign release/koch/deadrow/forthepeople/whatever.
-

Your missing some good music then homie... Some of they Hip Hop Weekly tracks have really started to sound like full length songs, dude is really talented.

too bad they're not
holla back when crookie will start dropping SONGS with original beats again or even better a retail album
because until then he won't be nothing more than an old mixtape rapper in my eyes 8)

So you ain't going to check on him because he doesn't have an album in stores? That's a little closed minded isn't it?

no it ain't
tell him to get some brand new instrumentals to rap over and then maybe i'll start listening to him again 8)

I support Crooked all the way, he drops the dopest shit every week, so no, im not loosing my interest in him.

Fair enough... have you ever heard his Young Boss 2, mixtape... it's pretty hot.
-
I just wish the fans got more info on what exactly is happening.
-
I still got faith in him. The man's been giving us a lot of music the past few years...gotta be thankful for that. Nevertheless, like most people, what I really wanna hear is his solo album, since that will be top-notch quality.
-
I'm Convinced Crook has had his album ready to unload on all you unfaithfull & Hater's since the longest
just some of you mutha's are expecting this album to Walk on water n' shit...lol
let's remember folk's it's just gonna be an album
not the meaning of life...
I think I'd rather hear a new HHW every week..
we get updated lyric's with Crook talking about Current shit.
FTH, Crook'
Your True's are still riding with you.
-
Crooked got alot of haters!

Good for him. Still doesn't change the fact dude can't keep his word and release a album.
-
wow, it is amazing how many groupies are on here. A hater would be someone who actually hates the rappers music, and always talks bad about the rapper, etc. I think everyone in this thread likes crooked I's music. Stating facts is not hating, its facing the reality. Those of you calling out "crooked I haters" need to realize that you are just groupies. The dude has been in the rap game for over 10 years and hasn't released an album, and some of you groupies are going to call people haters because they have lost interest in him, and don't plan on buying his album if it ever comes out? Good lord, what a bunch of fucking groupie idiots this place is full of these days.
-
I got mad love for Crooked I, but I think he needs to get back with Daz and the rest of DPG. At the very least he will have the opportunity to release an album....Just my thought

That's what's up though... People can hate all they want and make posts talking shit, but when it comes down to it guess who is still on they mind... 8)
