With no albums released how is he paying for studio time with the amount of free music he puts out? I know he has a legion of online fans but that doesn't translate to paying fans. I doubt he can fill up a concert. Dude must have one helluva 9 to 5.
-
Treacherous pay for the studio time. Crooked been grindin for years, he has appeared in over 200 tracks as a feature just in the last couple years alone.
-
Shows, Features, Guest Appearances, side hustles
Slaughterhouse money, lol

Where are you niggas gettin this info from? With so many homes going into foreclosure I find it VERY hard to believe that Crooked I is ballin enough to afford 2 houses. Maybe a 2 bedroom apartment.

Appearing on other rappers' mixtapes doesn't mean he's getting paid for it. Its different on the underground level. You appear on someone's joint and they appear on your joint. Unless the song blows up I doubt he's getting paid for it.
-
I guess he works as a prostitute on Sunset Boulevard at nights.

Most rappers don't make any money from releasing albums.
They make their money from ghostwriting, touring, merchandise, etc.

Thats true..

Does he really ghostwrite?
What hot merchandise is he selling?
Stoppit yall.

There's also a thing called "advances". You really don't make much money off album sales since most of your sales go back to the label for all the expenses they have collected for promotion, budget, etc. The only real money you get upfront is an advance which if you're hot property can be fairly lucrative. Your advance is guaranteed money whether you sell one record or the album gets permanetly shelved. The rappers who are smart business men will use that money wisely and find a way to turn a profit with it. There's also the other side who think it's just the beginning and blow it all on cars and jewelry.
Crooked probably gets some fairly decent publishing money off of those Death Row albums he appeared on. Granted, they weren't multi-platinum affairs but he probably eats all right off of them.
-

But their album selling well and getting airplay gets them all those things. I don't see Crooked making money from all that because he isn't a big star.
-
So what have treachorous actually released?

Stoppit yall.
lol thank you
yall acting like some teenage girls

ARMENIAN $$$????

I don't think crooked has a family...like a wife and kids? I'd be surprised if he did
crook is married AND has 2-3 kids... i think he said he had his first kid when he was 17? i don't remember. he said it in an interview a couple months ago

Man I ask myself the same question....To never drop an album he's found some kind of way to keep eatin....i gotta respect that....but damn when is homie gonna drop an album and make that long range change.

I think DR kept him on a type of retainer-style/stipend in lieu of a traditional record deal. They probably gave him a check every month as part of his record deal so he didn't have to worry about them shelving him (at least in the financial sense). I bet he bought everything he has back then and now he just works to live. I seriously doubt he's living "comfortably" though, the dude has to have next to nothing in the bank. He's probably still in that same SL500 he had back like 6 years ago in that issue of DUBS.

And what evidence has brought you to this conclusion? Why would he go through that when he could get an advance like just about every other artist on any label? He said Aftermath had some interest in him as well so for him to go with Death Row, there must have been a pretty good deal on the table.
-
Damn, threads like this remind me how stupid some of you are.
-
JLos paying him $$$$ not to release that sextape of her that Suge was gonna bundle with Crooks album.
-
There is only a handful of rappers on the west getting paid for music. I know for a fact most of these guys live on very little. Most of them live with there parents or live with friends. They hold down part/full time jobs maybe slanging some green. Any rappers who take rap seriously don't slang hardcore drugs and they don't actively gang bang.
Crooked I maybe makes 20-35k a year from rap. Which equals $15 an hr.

Does he really ghostwrite?

Stoppit yall.
I'm thinking the same thing, what merchandise that nigga selling?
