I agree that he should address the issue... once and for all.
-
Its about time for him to tell us "Its comming, soon I promise"
Looks like he picked up one thing while at Death Row
He is one of the VERY VERY FEW artist that I would buy 2 copies of his debut retail cd just to show my support
-
Its quite obvious its not dropping this year. It would be nice for him to talk to his fans once a while too though.
-
Who is crooked I. ::)
-
We'll probably get an interview in 3 months or so. "Man i've been grindin hard tryin to make this album all it can be, so it's not gonna come out until December of 09

Lol, the guy gives like 50 interviews a year, and has never put out an album. What the fuck is he gonna talk about? every interview is the same ol shit.
-
Crooked I mentioned once about being happy doing mixtapes. I don't believe he'll ever do albums.
He's another mixtape rappers.
-
To be real....who here thinks Crooked is scared to release an album? I'd damn near say the same for Dre, which is why Detox has been pushed back so many times.
Crooked knows how many people see him as the future of the coast...and because of that, if he doesn't drop Doggystyle or AT LEAST The Doc, fans are gonna be dissapointed. So it might be possible that he realizes how much pressure he has on him...and from hearin his style, we all know that he's not the best at making commercial songs at all....and even without those, I don't know how great of an album he could really produce.
Most of the best rappers in the last 8 years have been solely mixtape rappers, with a few having decent radio hits, but the ones who've sold the most have been completely commercial. Even Ludacris hasn't sold as much or made as great of albums as he should for him being so dope. The Joe Buddens, Cassidy's, Jadakiss', Jae Millz', and many of these rappers who have made great mixtape, punchlines, and battle songs just haven't been able to make classic singles and albums. Times have changed so much that it's hard for these types of rappers to put out dope music...primarily because so much of what their style depends on isn't what makes hit records or classic albums in this era.

A true rappers needs to fail at times too in order to become the best.
I wouldn't expect crooked I to be platinum status rapper for his first album. As long as he continues to grow..it's all good.

well said... I also don't think crooked will ever have commercial succes and Im afraid he will be forgotten... Or remembered as a mixtape rapper who never made it .. which sucks cause dude is talented as fuck

-

He's not getting any younger..
-
...eh..eventually he's gonna get old and die and people is gonna say..."who the fuck is crooked I?"

2 bad for him, he's not worth supporting, he doesn't respect people who support him by dropping an album. Most great albums didn't sold shit. He should have enough love for the art of hip hop and bring something that he thing is really him instead of trying to be the next micheal jackson

thats exactly what im saying. Work ur way up. U aint gonna be the next micheal jackson when u aint even got one album out.
Crooked could have had atleast 3 albums by now.
Thats whats wrong wit him. Its all about the money and fame for him. All he cares about is being the next 50 cent so he wont release any album untill he gets that much attention.
Theres alot of underground artist putting their albums out like dj muggs and Sick Jacken so why cant Crooked?? I thought that was the reason why he left Death Row?? because he couldnt release an album on there. Ten years later and its the same situation.

well said .. co-sign

its all about timing. This time is not good to drop an album when nobody is checking out the west.

i think you should just let the man get his $$$
by him releasing all these hip hop weeklies its letting him be heared by other artists and hes networking making $$$
commercial mainstream rap nowadays is all about catering to girls... thats what 90% of the formula for making a hit
the other 10 % is your happy feel good uptempo music

if crooked puts out an album not trying to please everyone and appeal to radio he will make a damn good album.

So, your saying shit on the fans that have been listening to the music for damn near 10 years now and drop a watered down project all about "making it rain" etc... No thanks.
I don't care what anyone says, Crook been grinding with his crew for a minute now, but it's the FANS that kept his name out there in the streets and it's the fans who are being disrespected by being kept in the dark.
-
realistically put it all in perspective .. dude doesnt owe you shit. you like him because you appreciate his talent.. what are you going to do if he never drops an album.. fast forward his part on other artists singles/songs?
crook's not a mainstream rapper but i feel like if he can get a great track and a hook he can do it ... and he even clowned ring tone rappers and what have you... but i say just let the man continue making good music i like songs with concepts like " my life " " you need a blessing " just as much as the next person but u can't deny his hip hop weekly's , features on other artists shit
and lets just be honest.. 80% of people who check for his music aint buying his album not in the mp3 era i dont care what you say or how hungry you are.. most of you are going to download it, if your disapointed OR satisfied with it you aint buying that shit
just take a look at chamillionaire dude went from platinum to not even going gold and he made a BETTER album

when i think pac made aeom in 2 weeks and makaveli in 7 days...
