with bad production.
-
if you need good production to sell a record, then canibus must've sold a grand total of 1 and half records.
im wondering... if he flops, do yall think hes gonna leave death row? i think part of the reason he stays with them is so he can sorta play a hero role and see if he could save them.

Yeah, that could well be true. But I think at the same time it's a Catch-22, because he knows that the longer he stays there without releasing an album, the less likely it is anyone else will pick him up if he leaves. It's been so long now that he'd be hard pressed to find a major that would give a shit if he left Tha Row within even the next six months. So it's a 'better the devil you know' thing, where he feels he might as well stick it out at Tha Row even though he'll more than likely never drop there.

I don't know...I think if he will get the right promotion he will sell more than some ppl expect to...
-
i believe dre offered a contract to crooked i (a long way back when aftermath just started) but crooked said it was a dream for him to be on death row because of his love for dogg pound. ironic, seeing as how nobody from dpg is on that label anymore other than kurupt.

suge didnt build wc rap...but he did have a big part in it...all the haters will reject that notion...anyway...i dont think crooked will sell a lot...he just doesnt have a "commercial appeal" to sell a lot...a lot of peps will just rip it of mIRC anyway

Suge, dint build shit. Without Dre he wouldnt have done nothing. After Dre left it all slowly went down, for tha Row...

I'll buy my copy...
that's all that matter's, not the amount of sales but the content within' & if it's Crooked I, then I'ma like it regardless.

I don't think it's gonna come down to wack beats, I think that if Crooked I fails sales wise, it's 'cause the promotion is bad or he gets hated on for being on Tha Row (you know, hard-core Snoop fans not buying the album 'cause of the label despite the skill.) So basically, I think the label can only fuck up his sales. Crooked has enough skills to make hits.
But, we can only speculate until the album comes out, IF Tha Row puts it out at all. But I can see why Crooked stays with Tha Row - being that he hasn't had any mainstream albums or hits, he's unlikely to get the same kinda treatment from other labels. Crooked I is Tha Row's top priority, whereas on some other label he'd most likely be put at the end of line.

Like T-Dizzog said, it's gonna come down to promotion. I don't think that Crooked I's album will sell well because the promotion will not be there. Crooked I has talent & if he was promoted "Properly" he could really blow up. And I know that he will lose some sales due to the fact that he is on Tha Row which is fuckin stupid. If the product is tight then BUY IT. Fuck, who gives a fuck if he's on Tha Row. You see idiots making posts saying "I will not support Crooked I because he is with Tha Row & I don't want to give Suge my money". That sounds pathetic. If he puts out a tight album then he (Crooked I) deserves your money.
-
I hope he gets sum big UK promotion. If R Kelly can get to number 1 then surly Crook can. Its been a long time since a DOPE rap has been number 1 in britian. I wud like to see Crook being that man.

^^^dam homie thats tru, i aint really with the charts alot but word would get round if some hip hop playa got to number 1........all u hear about shitty pop groups
peace
-
Crooked I's album will not come out on the row, I gaurantee it.

ur an asshole, I gurantee it

C'mon, It’s all gonna come down to promotion??? please. Promotion isn’t magical, if the artists hot than they'll sell if they're wack then all the promotion in the world won’t do a thing for them.
Example, Virgin (EMI group) spent 11 million to promote Mariah Carey's "Glitter" album plus gave her a 6.5 million dollar video budget and when the album came out it sold a lil over 500 thousand. Sony spent 30 million to promote Michael Jackson's invincible and then it only sold 2 million (world wide). And we’re talking international superstars. On the flip side you got someone like 50 cent who's got no label, no management, nothing.. and he becomes an industry giant simply on the strength of some mix tape freestyles.
If this guy Crooked I is so dope than why aren’t his westcoasanostra tapes flying off the shelf? or why isn’t any of his songs and freestyles getting rotation on mix tapes or radio shows? If this dude was as good as everyone is saying than they would… but he isn’t, so they’re not. ;D

Wasnt his album supposed to drop in July?
Whats happening to this guy? It seems like nothing can go right for Tha Row anymore. I wish he woulda signed somewhere else.
-
suge knight never did anythin but ruining Rap. and it just dont stop.
agreed. im out!!!
-
I honestly think that Crooked I's album will never come out....at least as long as he is with Tha Row.
-
Suge, dint build shit. Without Dre he wouldnt have done nothing.
^^ true that. and i also think we wont get a crook album from tha row but damn that would be a shame cuz i wanna hear the dpg rec. crooked i disc which will come out after tharow drops their version... 8)
