Title: Crooked I Opens Up To Wake Up Show... Considers Retirement?

Crooked I recently called into "The Wake Up Show" to weigh in on the alleged attempt on his life that took place last week. Crooked I explains to host King Tech that the incident started when a fan approached him asking for a "shout out" on his camera phone. Almost instantaneously, shots began to ring out in Crooked I's ear. At that point, both parties took off in their own direction. While this could be coincidental, one can only assume if the whole situation was set up. Crooked I speculates that perhaps the "fan" was tied to the incident and wanted to use the footage to get his own name out. Even more interesting, Crooked I explains that a fan actually sent him a package containing a bullet-proof vest several months ago. Tech asks Crooked I whether he believes if the two incidents are connected, but because everything has happened so quickly he can offer no explanation. Crooked I explains that the incident has thrown him into such a whirlwind that he almost considered retiring. While Crooked I is not totally set in that notion, he is certainly going to reinvent himself now. As we have mentioned before, we here at The B.O.S.S. Board totally support any decision Crook makes, but no one wants to see the big homie retire. Check out the full interview with the Wake Up Show on their website it is very deep!

well since he havent put out any albums.it wont be called retireing,it a be called quitting or giveing up or something like that.But i been rideing with crooked for over 10 years.I will be highly disapointed if he just quit and dont drop a album.He put in to much work and got to much skills just to quit.But i also see it from his point.Its like he in his 30's,got kids,he got money.he might just wonna settle down and travel the world,live a long life.If he in the lime light.it gonna always be a target.when people run up on him.he dont know if they fans or enemies.But i hope he at least bless the real crooked i supporters with a album or 2 before he quit.

It's probably cause he's older and more mature. Not to mention he's mentioned his kids several times. He probably doesn't want them to grow up with no father.

yeah again im not sayin hes a bitch or hes not a gangsta etc... cuz he cant take heat comin his way
but i always assumed tha gangsta rapper that he is and growin up in one of the craziest regions on the west
thought he would have been engaged in shit like this before
and then when this happens, it sounds brand new and he dont know what to do

One of the recent stories, I think the follow up by Sway said that it's not the first attempt on Crook's life and we know he spoke of crazy shit going down on a regular basis when he was on Tha Row, so who knows.

thats what I was thinking. He talks about guns and gangs and all the shit that goes down in most of his songs, you would think this wouldn't phase him. Or if it does maybe he should stop coming so hard in his lyrics.

Come on guys the man is only human. Even "gangsters" die too, it don't matter who you are, a brush at death can affect you. Especially when you got so much to lose and people relying on you to put food on the table.
