Title: Will Crooked I or Sly Boogy even go gold?
Post by: ShadowDub on November 01, 2005, 10:27:44 PM
I think they have great talent but their promo has been horrible. if they're promoted as second rate artists they're going to get second rate numbers. whatch'all think?

Sly has a bigger chance than Crook. He has a bigger underground buzz and he's grinding harder, doing underground shows and stuff. His style is a little more versatile than Crook's. I think he could blow if he had some push behind.

Crook? I like his style but I don't think he has much mass appeal, to be honest. He's a lot like Ras Kass. He's at his best when he just tears the shit out of the mic and unfortunately that does not translate into mass appeal.

Regardless, if any of the 2 drop a real album and not just some mixtape, I'll be in the store copping it.

if they do go gold its gonna take months (especially crooked i). unfortunatly, i dont see either of them droppin. sly boogie's song "Thats My Name" was all over the radio, then "Keep Thuggin" did pretty good to, but there was no album to follow up with.

Isn't Death Row that one label with all them bestseller classics from the '90s? ;)

I get what you mean tho... There's no way they'll even come close to going gold. They'll be really really lucky moving 150.000 in total.

No offense at all man, I want to see Crook move HUGE numbers, but that's assuming 30,000 people are still checking for his album and even know it is dropping.

True but I think both will scrape gold, they will sell probably just over gold

He's causing his buzz to go lower an lower by delaying this fucking album all tha time.

I don't really give a fuck about him anymore to be honest when he had just joined Death Row i mentioned him to lots an lots of friends and they kept asking about an album for this nigga and as we know he has yet to release an album.

So now when i talk to my friends about Rap mainly West Coast they jokingly say that Crooked I album is a West Coast classic.

Sly Boogy might do it because even here in Minneapolis they are playing "That'z My Name" and he has a lot of commercial appeal. It seems like Crooked I doesn't want to take his shit out of Cali right now.

Crooked I should of dropped an album back when Suge was talking about the "second era" of Death Row then maybe he would of gone platinum now he will be lucky if he pushes more then 100 000 copies..
