Crooked I Speaks On B.O.S.S. Download
FROM: http://www.thebossboard.com/article.php?newid=66
On February 7th an interview with Slaughterhouse was conducted by FIYAR Unlimited at the Taboo Night Club. During this interview Crooked I once again confirmed for fans that the long anticipated "B.O.S.S." album will be available for free download. However, this time Crook added a twist to the story. The album will be released in a similar fashion to his already classic "Block Obama" mixtape. Crook will be releasing each track separately once a week with inside commentary. While some fans may find this as a disappointment, Crook assures us that a new album is under development and will be released afterward. The new album will be released after Slaughterhouse drops and Crook jokes that he will title the project "Fuck Hip Hop". At this time there is no release date for the "B.O.S.S." download, but you can be sure to find this information right here on The B.O.S.S. Board when it becomes available!

DROP THE FULL THING!!!!!!
-
That's retarded.even the most die hard crook fans admit the track by track for block obama was a mistake.I want the album to be able to listen to it full way through.I can't express how dissapointed I am with this news.
-
Musically crooked I is my favorite artist.But as a business man he is an idiot.
-
You can always just download them all week-by-week and compile them until you have all the songs.
-
thats some bullshit news, why does he think this is a good idea? i can't understand it.....drop the whole thing as one...fuck one track at a time...
-
The new album will be released after Slaughterhouse drops
And didn't Budden say that Slaughterhouse album doesn't drop in 09? So that doesn't sound too good.
But I'm lookin forward to that B.O.S.S. album, but too bad that songs are gonna be released separately.
-
i think its a good idea.nigga need to stop bitching and complain.keep your bitch made complaints to your self.be greatfull.i think hr should start doing that asap tho.
-
But it dont look like crooked official album is dropping this year,which i dont got a problem with,just keep a nigga with fresh music to bump.If he drop boss for free this year then i a be satisfied with that,i a wait until next year to buy his official album.
-

there is absolutely no way in hell you really think this is a good idea. we all love crooked's music but you gotta get off his dick dude.
-
ha he plans to drop an album after slaughterhouse drops.
and if you read the dubcnn interview, joey says that they are all concentrating on their solo efforts, and that a slaughterhouse album realistically will not come out this year.
"We all have solo projects coming, I got my album dropping February 24th, Royce is coming in April/May, Joell Ortiz is coming July/August and Crooked is coming shortly."
-
I get that he wants to drop after slaughterhouse because that's getting his name out there the most but what if they flop?then what?delay his album another year to gain more buzz?

Sure why not? He's been doing it for the past 10 years, why stop now?
-
I've never loved/hated an artist as much as him
-

-
crooked i = fuckin' idiot

Hopefully each track isn't tagged with "NEXT WEEK"!

what the fuck? yahll have been waiting and when it finally comes u say ur dissapointed? thats pathetic.
free music is free music, take it like it is...
-

for real, i mean just release shit independent. make a little money. Why dont he do the same thing he did with block obama 2
-
weak ::)
-
any chance that plans have changed now with the current situation? that video was feb. 7th.
-
Prob the worst news of 09 so far!!!
-
I've never loved/hated an artist as much as him
Haha Its almost as bad for me bein a Pharoahe Monch supporter! Dude only brought two albums (so far) but hes so talented that just aint enough!
-
Well he does also have the organized konfusion albums
-
so it will be at least 3 months before the album is complete

Then they will prob saying that there each touring and are trying to get together to finish it off until it eventually doesnt happen.

free music is free music, take it like it is...
Because the wait was for an actual album. Not what is essentially another download only mixtape. The fans want "physical product that they can purchase". Crooked I is very aware of this as he's addressed in several interviews. Putting the album up for free download isn't a bad idea but without an actual pressed album in stores, it's kind of counterproductive. Tech does the "free download" thing but also offers the albums so as to say, if you liked what you hear, you can make a purchase and support the artist.
Leaking the song a track at time for free was already done. By going this route, the perception of the record is going to be the same as "Block Obama 2" or whatever project he dropped like this before. He needs to start pressing these things up and selling them already.
-
crooked's keeping his buzz fresh that way but damn how disapointing
but expected lol
-
This might not have been too bad an idea if he had just got on with it, after he made this announcement. But he still hasn't even dropped the first track. And does once a week include tracks from the album that have already leaked, or has he decided to not include those tracks on the album?
-
good Q's my friend
i wish he'd drop in stores but financially that may not be the best thing these days (for most artists)

I'm not quite sure that anything we have heard thus far is even confirmed for BOSS anymore other than "Dream Big"... The album changes constantly according to Crook. Who even knows if NWA is on it anymore...
-
damn nwa is a crazy record, i dont know its a old record but one of his best
production and lyrics are crazy
fuck it, i think he should throw it on there, its too good not to

-
hes just afraid of flopping like so many other anticipated rappers
-
yeah and thats understanable
cuz he might have very well been able to release a album, but then he does and cats might say damn crooked is a dope rapper but this album he released is wack
still dont mean he needs to go over 12 years without a solo
now we have to wait for however long for a group album and 3 solo's first
hes just afraid of flopping like so many other anticipated rappers
-
He is going to flop theirs no ifs and or buts about it.he needs to just take a que from Royce and budden and realize he's never going to sell millions.he will be a respected underground cat
-
yeah but some underground rappers can move some units
ras kass
royce
tech n9ne
they are hip hop/rappers who do what they want but move a good amount of units
He is going to flop theirs no ifs and or buts about it.he needs to just take a que from Royce and budden and realize he's never going to sell millions.he will be a respected underground cat
-
Well even they don't move huge numbers.and someone like tech n9ne is touring constantly almost all his sales come from that.cormega is another guy I wish crooked would follow his path.
-

well when Slaughterhouse drops a CD (if) then Crook's got a HUGE chance...
but he's had queit a few "huge chances" the last 10 years lol

You're probably right. I think at one time or another "Dream Big," "Cali Boys," "Boom Boom Clap," "New West Anthem, and "Straight Bossin'"were all supposed to be on it. But since his debut album seems to be perpetually "in the making," who knows how many of these will still appear (if any).

I think we can be sure that "Cali Boys" and "Boom Boom Clap" won't be on it, they are like 4 years old. As far as "Str8 Bosses", that's as old as "NWA", which actually is a lot older than when it actually dropped, they just had it under wraps for a while. However, SOMEWHERE I read "Str8 Bosses" isn't meant for BOSS. We'll see what happens, but to be honest if any of these songs end up on BOSS I think I'll be a little disappointed. That's a good portion of the album right there.

I can see where you're coming from. Personally, I wouldn't care if he included them on the album, if the album was pretty lengthy. But yeah, if the album is only ten or fifteen tracks and half of them is that stuff, that would be pretty lame. Also, I think it would be pretty lame to throw these tracks into the mix if he's only going to be releasing it, one track per week. When you think about it, it seems like this album has gone through as many changes as his two unrleased albums on Tha Row.

"Straight Bosses" went on a Celly Cell complaition, and Boom Boom Clap i think was meant for a soundtrack, could be wrong. And Cali Boyz was suppose to be the single for Crookeds DVD. I remember Crooked saying that he would have a remix of Straigh Bosses on the album, but NWA and Dream Big should be on the album, since NWA was suppose to be the street single and Dream big the single. I just hope we get BOSS soon, along with Say Hi to the Bad Guy, and I will be happy.

Musically crooked I is my favorite artist. But as a business man he is an idiot.
watch out, the crooked i dick riders will call you a hater because you don't agree with what he does.
-
I think there needs to be a new saying for rappers who get their album releases constantly pushed back or straight up shelved. "He got the Crooked I" seems appropriate. (example: Dre won't be dropping Detox until 2052. He got the Crooked I.)
I've been listening to Crooked I since I was in 7th grade. In 4 days, I'll be 24 and I still don't have a solo Crooked I album! I will never stop listening to the stuff he puts out, but anything he says is complete bullshit until I have his album in my hands. I just hope they aren't aren't riddled with arthritis when that happens.
