Aw, remember the days when Crooked I did weekly freestyles….

^ 1. Isn’t buying the physical copy showing support? I really doubt said artist would have gripes with you because you bought his/her album and STILL uploaded to iTunes. Some people are actually collectors. Doing both shows EXTRA support, not the opposite.
–I actually thought about this before i said what i said but i’ve realize that the majority doesnt think that way, Just like when people started collecting vinyl, Its not a popular thing to do anymore because the way people listen to music is always changing. The only way that’ll never change is to spread the word and support them in person at shows.

Come on fam..this is me..Joelle Ortiz could have Jayz on every single on his album and he wouldnt sell more than 14k.
Yall think I’m slow?
–…And who is you? (no offense)
You’re missing the point, ‘Good’ HH is an esoteric entity, A joell ortiz album is only aimed at certain individuals who understand where hes coming from, and thats a select group. If you want rap to sell then build your own Soulja boy and make a party record so that everyone can enjoy. (also: Lollipop by wayne)
Watch how yall gonna treat Camron when his shit drops…then you got niggas like eskay thinkin Cam gon be happy that its 20k people ridin around listening to CP in they hondas. MUSIC INDUSTRY IS DEAD.
–Eh im sure eskay will counter this statement… If he hasnt shunned you already

March 23rd, 2009 at 2:36 pm
When all musicians are selling their music digitally thru their own websites..what will you all call that? There wont be any labels..no “industry” to speak of…hmmm that’s nice “growth” went from raping artists to not even having artists to rape.

Nothing wrong with optimism, but you’re giving Interscope alot of credit. Major labels have real history fucking over “alternative” hiphop acts.
================================================
Interscope seems to have recognized that “hipster rap” is on the rise. I mean, they signed Wale, CH & The Knux.
And I know that ain’t Crooked I.

So by him putting out more material, people actually heard his shit, disliked it and the excitement was gone.

Why would a establish artist who contract is up resign to a major. I think nas next album is his last with def jam. We all know nas has no business sense so he’ll probably sign a 10 album deal with a major.

Co-sign.
& that’s what the young cats are starting to realize. Your whole song can be a metaphor, but make it catchy & appealing & unique
Wale, Bob, CuDi, CH, Etc. realize this & depending on individual opinion are more or less successful. But at least they try to blend lyricism with song construction.

Just not true. The height was during the Hamiltonization process, but dudes gotten into spats with Souylja Boy, Fest, Serious & even the white boy he just “battled”. His buzz is still high & he’s truly a product of the internet. Imagine when he starts spending those Interscope promo dollars.

You need to listen to the critics too, homie. I admit, you can rhyme. I’ve yet to hear a song from you that I tought was dope. You know what…that’s a lie. The “It’s Still Tha Row” remix was ill. And that was early 2000. The advantage Budden has over the rest of Slaughter House. He may not make music like he did when he first got on, but knows how to craft a song. Royce too, on a lesser level. That’s what i feel Crooked I is lacking. That & a personality.

I JUST NEED DUDE TO DROP A LP SO I DONT GOTTA PROMOTE HIM TO PEOPLE AS A MIXTAPE RAPPER, BECAUSE HES NOT EVEN IN THE SAME LEAGUE AS CASSIDY OR WAYNE. HE MAKES MOST MODERN DAY SHIT LOOK LIKE IT JUST DONT DESERVE TO EVEN BE PIRATED.
DAMN AND NOW SLAUGHTERHOUSE IS MURDERING IT, I NEVER LISTENED TO BUDDEN OR ROYCE BECAUSE I NEVER WAS A FAN BUT LIKE IDE BE LYING (AS MUCH AS A HATER AS I AM) IF I SAID THEY WERENT FUCKING KILLING IT.
