Crooked I has some vicious words for radio. During an interview with ThisIs50.com‘s Jack Thriller, the Slaughterhouse member said that Hip Hop culture needs the medium, but that he doesn’t get any airplay and has some harsh feelings about it.
Crook said that Thriller should have his own radio show, but that radio is too afraid of having “real” personalities on the air. “They scared that you gon’ say some real shit that’s gonna be funny as a motherfucker. Same thing with the Rap shit. Nigga, we don’t get a whole bunch of radio play. I don’t get a whole bunch of radio play. Nigga, honestly, fuck the radio. We need it, but we don’t get it. So fuck ‘em,” he said.
He continued by explaining how radio is valuable to Hip Hop, but that artists such as himself don’t get any love from it. “I think you need the radio. But I’m a lucky ass niga. I’m finna do House of Blues, boom. I got a song out, radio don’t play it. But at the same time, I don’t care about none of that shit. I don’t give a fuck. I don’t think they’ve seen a nigga like me since N.W.A., to be honest with you, because I be thinkin’ like, who, who, who, who? What nigga can go without radio, can go without any of this shit and be right here shooting videos with Interscope and Jimmy Iovine and Paul Rosenberg over there? What nigga can do that? I got a new campaign: regular nigga.”
Yeah i still have no idea how My Life didn’t get massive radioplay….
It’s bullshit. Money getting payed from all the wrong places.
What are you guys talking about!!!?? Eminem is the biggest rapper EVER and he has the $$$ to put these fools on radio… Its just the majority dont wanna listen to these cats…
I agree…I thought it was a great radio record. I love how all these Anonymouses are the same nigga/hater, because it’s impossible that many people on a HIP HOP site don’t like HIP HOP. 50,000 first week, #2 on Billboard…not that it matters, but for the ignorant……..that’s called a SUCCESSFUL ALBUM Smh Lmao!!
HE DID THIS INTERVIEW BEFORE SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIRST WEEK SALES NUMBERS CAME OUT I’M SURE HE FEELING DIFFERENTLY NOW LOOOL!!
These dudes feel invincible now that they’re temporarily at Interscope. Don’t get too comfortable Crooked. Here today. Gone tommorow.
THIS NIGGA WOULD BONE HIS MOTHER IN ORDER TO GET SOME RADIO AIRPLAY
Radio says : Fuck Crooked I.
Correction: Radio says who the fuck is Crinkle Eye?
all the great rappers including 2pac,nas,biggie,jay-z have radio to thank for there sucess this nigga just dont know how to make good music
radio is fucked up now a days that if pac and big were to drop records they wouldn’t get any radio play, these days its all about the rnb and club shyt on tha radio, that real music gets no love on tha radio, times have changed
I BEEN telling niggas they would get back to this whole “I’m so real” gimmick in an instant after they tried their damnedest to sell out and failed horribly for another time. Most embarrassing group of all time.

crooked i says “fuck the radio” and radio says “fuck crooked i”
please post ONE crooked i song ppl know. buncha forgettable freestyles dude is grade A garbage. just as bad as a wack nigga like wacka flocka. he rhymes a bunch of words and makes horrible music. some wack niggas hardly rhyme and make horrible music. all the same. crooked i sucks. death row bench warmer, seasoned loser.
Crook has ZERO songs of merit and ZERO verses that mean a goddamn thing to anyone but 14 year olds who can’t cum yet…
At least Joell has sex with Japanese dudes!
the same guy is here hating day in day out.. he thinks hes getting through to ppl or someshit but its so blatantly obvious its the same dude.. i’m not even gonna bother telling u to get a life, you’re hopeless…
i think he works for Interscope , ya know revers psychology
lol…..
Crook look so fraud in this interview oh disgruntled ass. He’s supposed to be sooo hood and nwa but if you look at his interview and go on youtube and look at Trae the Truth’s video…you tell me would seems more “real” or hood. Crooked be working too tight shirts and his fitted look to damn small on his head. Nigga can spit but he can’t craft good songs consistently. If he could make more songs like “Praise God” and “Real niggaz” he would be much better off as an artist versus just rhyming to rhyme.
lol @ his fitted look to damn small on his head
faggot,
i’m sure crooked i’s clown ass could look super thug tough with his own heavily edited and special features added galore music video. those things make everyone look like the coolest hardest emcee in the world. get the fuck outta here with your weak ass one sided fox news faggot ass argument
Crooked I must’ve been all in your ass cuz ur hell of emotional off of my opinion. I must pinched a nerve. lol
Everyone hatin’ on Crooked on for speaking the truth. He’s gettin paid and he put out 52 straight weeks of freestyles for free
And that’s exactly what this fucking bum’s “music” (and I use the term very loosely)…
NOTHING.
With eight millions verses of NOTHING to go with it.
Crooked I raps a whole lot about NOTHING. Dude is certified garbage.
Technically efficient,
but still
G-A-R-B-A-G-E.
LOL Damn nigga shut up you know damn well your music is wack, that’s why radio won’t play it cause that shit don’t appeal to anyone but 15 year old cracker kids fool
agreed
normally i leave the funny ish like yours alone. but the whole point to me was, creativity and plenty of deserving people gets no time or shine at all on the radio. plenty of talent… he speaks the truth even if it shouldnt apply to him himself.
how much money do u think slaughterhouse has generated SHADY/interscope!?!?!?!!?!!?
im not looking at the records… but the answer is 0 $!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they offer NOTHING…
they live a fantasy rap life and suck resources!!!!!!!!!!!
they need stylists, make up artists, producers, features, drivers, flights… marketing, management, studio time, videos…botox….
crooked i might be able to buy one bag of weed with his our house earnings..
and itll be gone that night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they were on TV, radio, internet, magazines, award shows.. special concerts with eminem…
and they were outsold by a homo christian rapper i never heard of!?!?!!!??!!?!?
GOD IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL @ the thought of crooked i and joell ortiz moving forward
joe buddens will look for new ways of embarrassing himself on reality tv
and royce is now eminems caretaker…
WHAT A STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!
welcome to our house: INDUSTRY HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cool story bro
wow you explained your whole life story congrats
real talk
Why do we *need* radio? To help establish and maintain a unified hip-hop culture? To keep the public engaged with modern rap music? I think it’s safe to say most hip-hop fans don’t look to the radio for new music.
I think radio continues to be a symbol of success, as well as mass exposure. Obviously, for a rapper, it presents the opportunity to sell more records. But in 2012, nobody actually looks to this media for their music. It’d be great if the radio played good music consistently, but that’ll be the day… So make the best music you can make, Crooked’s best song is yet to be written.
The radio is not really needed. If you have yet to realize that the artists that flood the radio stations are all from the same corporations. Record labels are strong arming the DJ’s and paying them off to only play ther artists. Or play them more often than other artists. Do you really think that the masses control the top 10 on 106 & Park? No, it is the corporations behind said artists. The ones designed to use those artists as pawns and puppets to destroy the culture and the minorities that listen to hip hop.
crooked i would kill anyone bar for bar..he’s one of the best lyricist to ever do it. period.
that might be true, but he’s completely incapable of producing great, worthwile music.
if you only care about lyrics, why not read poetry? lol.
Trae the Truth murder Crooked on his own shit. Check out Crooked I’s latest mixtape…it’s a song called “Niggaz winning”. Trae made Crooked sound like a poser lol.
he wouldn’t touch Canibus even if he gave him a massage lol
In my opinion, Lyrically, Crooked I and Chino XL are on a league of their own. but when you look at the full package as artist they are not capable of producing the sort of shit Nas, Eminem and Jay Z produce..but as far as lyrics go. crooked would eat anyone…ever.
BEST RAPPER ALIVE!!!!
Crooked I looks like a fucking Chipmunk. That’s why his ass aint got no radio play. That and he can only rap over other people’s SONGS. After another artist has come up with a concept. That goes for all of the Slaughter. The reason they’re mixtape kings is because they’re so lyrical and can destroy other people’s songs…but they can’t come up with their on concepts to save their lives lol.
Don’t you mean party songs, because that’s mostly what’s played on radio, techno with autotune singing talking about sex and what drink they have in their hands. What’s Mercy about, braggin’, what’s Ricky song’s about, drugs, sex, and what’s most singers are singing about, love and heart in their autotuned voice. Slaughterhouse concept is hardship with hard bars with some decent beats, but hey if wayne aint on it or drake or rihanna or even rick ross with autotune songs somewhere. It ain’t a concept, nothing their rapping about is relevent, not their kids not them getting any radio play, and not even what they did before they got there.
Crooked is that dude!!
Jack Thriller is scary…look at his eyes…his right eye is facing Crooked I, and his left eye looking at the camera
they both should start a rap group, ‘Crooked Eyez’
lmao
“I met crooked a few times and he a real dude”
Did he mis-pronounce every other word, and smell like he’d been drinking since noon?
HIP HOP IS DEAD, THERE ARE ENOUGH GARBAGE ARTIST ON THE RADIO, THEY DON’T NEED ANOTHER DISEASTER ON AIR – FLOPHOUSE BOYS. AND THIS CROOKED GAY ARE NOT EVEN ABLE TO RELEASE ANY ALBUM WITHIN 9852144 HE BEEN RAPPIN, NO WONDER HE GETS NO RADIO AIRPLAY. WHY SHOULD HE? BECAUSE OF THAT SHITTY MIXTAPE HE HAS BEEN PUTTIN OUT? SMH, HIP HOP IS DEAD
lol you dont make money from record sales you make more money from appearances and touring then you do record sales…theres broke mother fuckers that sold 10 mill…
yeah ppl who don’t realize this are young newbs. this argument has been goin for years, they’re new to the table.
