Title: Crooked I Turned Down BlackWallStreet/Warner Bros For Treachrous Records
Post by: LongBeachsFinest on October 11, 2007, 07:06:29 AM
The Game had a deal for Crooked I soon after he got his distribution with Warner Bros but turned it down for a label that has little relevance titled "Treachrous Records". He knows his album wasnt going to sell anyway but why go to a label where that gets made a fact before you even release that shit. Game would of put Crooked I on his myspace and within a day he would triple his fanbase without even releasing a new song... I believe Crooked I has taken the same path as G Malone took with going to Sony and refusing Def Jam, you would of thought he would of had more sense being on death row for all that time? your opinion?

Crooked I would've gotten a lot more publicity had he gone with BWS. Either way, Crooked and Game both need to get their label situations fixed.

BWS isnt good with putting shit out, wheres Black Boy mixtape, Game mixtape, Juice mixtape, Bws Journal vol 2 mixtape, Juices album, games next album, all of games movies n dvd's he made, all of this other shit, and all this stuff was suppose to drop ages ago, where the hell would he fit in a release date for Crooked I? He would, EVENTUALLY but i guess Crooked I already knew that they wouldnt be releasing it for awhile so he chose Trecherous because they would release it quicker and focus more on him!!!

i see crooked as more of a leader so going to BWS wouldnt suit him.

BWS wasn't even an option at the time... remember, we're talking late '03 early '04... BWS wasn't in effect then... so how could he sign to something that wasn't? 

Yeah but he had the label in works. And at the time Game was everywhere with Dre and 50. Crooked I should've piggybacked him to get some promo. But then again, promo that leads to no album isn't shiet, Knoc-turn'al will tell you that.

Dude what the hell are you talking about? Game has released 4 YKWII mixtapes, 1 BWS mixtape (BWS Journal), SSNL mixtape & dvd, and was working on the MOB mixtape and Eastwood's solo mixtape before they fell apart. Plus he has a shoeline and a BWS clothing line out.

In that same amount of time all Crooked I has released is 2 mixtapes, 1 dvd that everyone hates. Hell Cyssero made a name for himself by being Game's tag-a-long. Crooked I just always makes the wrong decision (ie: signing with Death Row instead of waiting for Dre to finish Xzibit's album).

He dropped all that shit so long ago, YKWII is the most recent, what bout all the group shit and Juices shit, it was suppose to drop so long ago!!!

That is true. But he had a nice buzz for a while. His ship sunk for good when he released the song with Dre and Missy then didn't release the album for it.

No they don't have a distribution deal. My guess is they'll take the Dipset route and have all their artist on different distribution companies (ex: Game-Geffen, Clyde Carson-Capitol).

Crooked I would've gotten a lot more publicity had he gone with BWS.

All of that was within the last 2 summers. Had Crooked I gone with Game he would've been apart of all that rather than releasing press releases about an album update coming soon every 6 months.

Crooked feels hes a "BOSS"

Hes definitly not gonna sign under any other rapper......and I respect him for that, even though going to BWS would give him more exposure.....

Well its already been 3 years. Btw, what exactly has Brazil & Wilimington dropped? Lol. Oh yeah Life's mixtape right befoe he left.

Crooked I just always makes the wrong decision (ie: signing with Death Row instead of waiting for Dre to finish Xzibit's album).

Whatcha mean by this homeboy?

I'm not 100% sure if this is true, but the rumor is that Dr. Dre was gonna work with Crooked I, but he told him to wait till he finished working on "Restless" with Xzibit. Crooked I was impatient (as funny as that may sound) and decided that he couldn't wait and signed with Death Row instead. Well obviously Dre wasn't about to produce for a Death Row album, so...

Here we are.
