Slaughterhouse to Shady being blocked by e1 and amalgam digital?

Face hates the commercial Wayne industry? Wasn't Lil Wayne on his last album?

You can reiterate the same comments over and over again but without some kind of example, you're not painting much of a picture for me. Even the points I agree with you on, you'd be in dead in the water if left to your own devices to prove. Nobody is arguing that the guy is dope. I'd even give you that he might better than these cats in a lot of these areas but you're talking like like its miles ahead when I don't think that's the case.  

[Action!]

On that note, it's all love and I said my piece.  I hope they all enter golden eras and release massive amounts of music.  Hope the bullshit label crap pulls through and we get another slaughterhouse album backed with even better production.  just blaze beat!?!  yes sir.  hope crooked i gets a dope album out and i'm a take the free shit all day any day.  

[Chamillitary Click]

so yeah..

shame Slaughterhouse isn't signed to Shady.

[Jimmy H.]

Yeah.  Fucking label politics.

Action! -  I actually completly get where you are coming from.

Crooked has bag's of potential of course he has but...

When Suge got out of jail he has kurupt, crook, eastwood etc and I personally got the impression that suge was in fear of releasing them in case they didnt go platinum, something that deathrow of old had prided itself on. I could never understand why they didnt release something to generate buzz and build on it with better promo the next time.

Crooked seems to have the same problem he seems to have been gearing up for his BIG BIG album for over a century!

The amount of of material he must have piled up from over the years, that he clearly will not use for an album because every time he changes the name of his album he says he is starting again.

He could put together a couple of quality albums tomorrow release them for free or cheap digitally and generate more exposure and buzz.

I know he puts out his fair share of freestyles but i am being greedy?
I dont

It always comes off as I'm hating on Crooked I but I'm not.  I love Crooked I.  I've nearly downloaded all of his material.  He's gotten better with age.  More or less my opinion on Crooked I is this,

For someone with all that god damn skill it doesn't make any sense why he hasn't released a classic collection of tracks.  I don't care if you have a hit or if you have an official major label album.  Bishop Lamont released free street tapes that I consider classic (Nigger Noize, Caltroit, & The Confessional) and beyond most major label albums.  I feel that Crooked I hasn't tapped into his true potential.  I don't know why but I don't feel like he has shined the way he should.  

The closest artist I can bring up that reminded me of Crooked I is Joe Budden.  Budden felt like a lost artist always ranting on and on but since Slaughterhouse his song crafting has shapened up, and his final product (mixing) has improved.  Granted I haven't heard Great Escape but based on the leaks it's shaping up to be the album of his career.  The one he was destined to make.

I guess I'm just waiting for Crooked I to live up to his shoes and fulfill his destiny.  Sounds corny but best way to describe how I'm feeling as a fan.

Edit:
To clarify I don't love crooked I.  Makes me sound like a stan which should be clear I'm not...at least I don't think I am.  I just think he's a great artists and love his art work.

Double edit:
As for Jay-Z these are the albums that get rotation from me,

Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint, Black Album, Kingdom Come, American Gangster, and Blueprint 3

I like BP3.  I don't consider it a classic.  It's a Kanye West album done by Jay-Z.  It's a good album. 

Compared to Nas which I bump damn near every single album but The Firm.

 I totally agree with that statement. When I think about how so many rappers have had at least moderate success via the independent or digital route, I'm not sure why Crooked I hasn't tried something like that.  The thing is, even if he put out an independent or digital release and it didn't sell well, I don't think it would hurt him in the long run.  And at the very least, he's getting more material out and thus promoting himself more.

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

yeah he does and you know when he went and got t.i., and wayne and even the petey pablo...that made me look at him differently..but hes still the king of spitters str8 up...wayne wants to be better than jay....not many can be better than face.....thats the difference....

Alright off the top of my grill, I'd say guys that come to mind when I think greatest MC's (as far as being the total package), I'd say, in no order:

2Pac
Notorious B.I.G.
Eminem
Ice Cube
Scarface
Nas
KRS-One
Jay-Z


You asked for lyrical, so I'm assuming you'd mean who I think are the ten greatest lyricists. I'd say

Eminem
Nas
Jay-Z
Rakim
KRS-One
Kurupt
Notorious B.I.G.
Big Pun
Jadakiss
Raekwon

Again, this is me rushing out the door to go to work so I'm probably overlooking some pretty important ones but I'll leave it at that for now and do the correcting when the time comes.

Well, great. Maybe I should add more obscure names that I don't think are as good just so I can seem like a grown-up to people in a hip-hop forum.
