Title: I have a serious Question - Can Crooked I even become succesful ?
Post by: Crooked I on March 08, 2008, 06:05:02 AM
I mean this question is really in my mind since some weeks,even when his Album comes,can he be succesful ?I mean like that he makes it to Europe and everywhere like The Game,50 Cent and all other that came the last 2-3 Years !?

I mean can he be succesful with Trecherous Records ?Have they ever droped 1 single Album ?He is for me one of the greatest rappers ever,since I know him he is even my fav. Rapper but I can't imagine that he becomes something like "The Game" or so ,he needs to be signed somewhere where he can make it worldwide,can trecherous even pay 1 single concert in Europe ???I don't even know how they should drop his Album,Crooked work with Timbaland,Dre.......people who can bring you on MTV daily,thats what I mean

I know there have been many threads,but since im from germany and from 20 friends i showed crooked i all said without ppl like timbaland or dre or so he wont make it to europe,tell me

Game would have never made it to big venues in Europe if he wasn't signed to a major label. If he'd ever perform in Europe, it would be in smaller venues. I think Crooked I is too big of a risk for promoters though.

He could do it. He has the appeal, and if Antra I mean TREACHEROUS AKA Formerly known as ANTRA could get their shit straight hell yeah, he could do it. All Crooked has got to do is come out with some dumb ass hip hop, and then after that he can drop the game he has spat for years.

You assume your definition of success matched his. You need to be on  a major and sell millions to be successful. Money doesn't make you successful either, it just makes you rich.

G-unit and Akon are huge in Europe. So once his Akon single drops. BAM!

Depends what you mean by successful

He is for me one of the greatest rappers ever

To me, this is successful, being acknowledged as one of the greats

Dudes like 50 or any of these guys selling loads of records, their names aren't going to be in the history books as some of the best rappers to do it, they're not up there with Rakim, G Rap, Slick Rick, Ice Cube, etc - they'll be remembered like MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice - dudes who sold a shit load of records but with no real skills

So to me Crooked I is already more successful than 50 or the Game (though Game is reasonably nice on the mic). Nobody putting 50 in their top 50 MCs, though I think already a lot of people would put Crooked I in there

They actually fucked up the distribution deal they had with universal. I don't think they have any distribution.

Are u fo real? U seen this nigga Game perform in Belgium, Africa just to name a few and all that how many people came?
And LOL at "Game would never made it to big venues in Europe if he wans't signed to a major label" LMAO at this nigga. U think people sell big venues cuz they signed to a major? Its just that they succesfull artists, and wouldn't u basically say that about EVERY artists out there? u act like Game is a nobody (success wise).
