I’ve been hearing about this project for about a month or so and was waiting on some information to post. It’s all here now. Crooked I is releasing Block Obama II in conjunction with the U.S. Presidential election on November 4th. Available on iTunes, Amazon, etc. Hit the jump for the (dooope) artwork, tracklist and full press release…
Treacherous Records recording artist Crooked I follows up his street anthem ‘Dream Big’ featuring Akon with the Block Obama II which features a guest appearance by Knoc-Turnal and production by Rick Rock . Block Obama II will be released in conjuction with the U.S. Presidential election on November 4th 2008, Block Obama II will be available at all digital retailers, including iTunes, Rhapsody, Amazon, Napster, Emusic and all Mobile Carriers.
Long Beach, CA rapper Crooked I has single handidly become one of the leading faces emerging from the ‘Digital Era’. In April of 2007, he launched “Hip-Hop Weekly, what could possibly be the most innovative musical internet marketing campaign to date. Through his official website, for a full year, Crooked released a new freestyle each week, over popular commercial beats and some personal favorites. He captivated a whole new audience, and took over every hip-hop news portal, with tens of thousands of viewers eager to hear his next offering. The monumental series earned Crooked I cover stories on two of the biggest urban music publications; XXL magazine labelled him one of Hip-Hop’s Next Superstars or “Leaders of the New School” on the cover of their November 07′ issue, and in August 08′ on the cover of Vibe Magazine, both Crooked I and Jay Electronica were labelled as “Internet Guerrillas”, with an article discussing the Hip-Hop Weekly series and his approach to marketing on the internet.
Coinciding with the delivery of Block Obama II, Crooked I has partnered with INgrooves, a leading provider of digital distribution, to start his own digital label, with plans to not only release his own content but other aspiring artists. This year, INgrooves entered into a strategic partnership with Universal Music Group, the world’s leading music company. “We are very excited about working with Crooked I and being a part of more projects from him. I believe Crooked is hands down one of the most talented and prolific artist from the West Coast” said Abe Batshon of INgrooves. Crooked I joins the likes of Strange Music (Tech N9ne), Chocolate Industries (The Cool Kids), Too Short and Tila Tequila by partnering with INgrooves.
Damn, I can’t wait..I’ma be on iTunes that day. Is it gonna be digital only on Amazon?
8 tracks only? is the tracklisting official? the cover’s dope though. props to the artist
WOW !

C.O.B 4 life
OBAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!

ohh aight, its always good to hear some new dope crooked i.
So that must mean an album is coming soon. Yessir! This is a good look for Crooked…
Looking forward to this, Crook dropping music left and right. If your a real Crooked I fan there is no reason not to cop this. Everyone is into the digital era of MP3s so why not cop this EP and show some support for dude… especially if you didn’t cop “Dream Big”. No excuse anymore to say “Crook don’t drop anything official”. OBAMA!
dude stay milking obama’s name…and on top of that his tapes have nothing to do with politc or obama…internet rappers really have no shame
couple of songs concentrate political issues, and whats wrong with promoting obama and letting young listeners know to vote because its time for change.
obamaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
^^^^^
he calls it the block Obama cuz he’s referring to him self as the streets obama. No shame at all. Cuz rappin about hood politics, real street shit and crooked runnin for president on this west coast and u best believe come November 4th, we paintin the white house black! OBAMA!!!!!!!
yess..hes the BLOCK obama because crooked is different from all these rappers like obama is different from these politicans they fight for the people and bring something different to the table. in that way hes the streets leader for change and getting rid of thses whack ass sucka mcs
C.O.B
obamaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!!!!!!!!
y’all crooked i groupies is gay as fuck
dooope artwork for sure, a thing I realised was if they invert the paper on the front or the back picture it would actually be acurett in the sense of the difference from front/back side pictures. Haha, had some time to kill.
C.O.B real niggas no grooupies
fuck outta here hater
this shit will be epicccccccccccccc
coooooooooooooobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
Yes Sir C.O.B. niggas can’t wait for this shit to drop! And hopefully this is a sign that the album is finally coming because that is the only time rappers usually drop ep’s is when they have an album that is about to drop soon!
OBAMAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
C.O.B. HOE!!! LMAO
i think he will sell at least 5,000 copies ahahahahah this dude is trash, you can all hug his nuts as much as you want, but he will never be successful. never. he has a generic voice, and a generic flow, and a generic everything; i have never heard one line of his that I was like damn that was creative and tight and well put. so i cant wait for him to flop and realize he isn’t going anywhere
lol at people yellin COB like thats they clique or somethin.
“whatchuwant…” are you fuckin kidding me…..u the dumest fuck i have ever heard…..no creative lines….LMAO wow……
do some research kid….before you talk nonsence
and IT IS C.O.B
obamaaaaaaaa !!!!!!!!!!!
no, ive listend to his shit, and what everyone else hails as amazing and creative I call average underground rap lyrics. but hey dont listen to me, why don’t you just watch and see how successful he is than tell me im the dumbeset fuck you have ever heard
ahahah fuckin idiots this for the haters few easy crooked lines
“acrobatic flow, asthmatic, sick psychopathic rappers back at it, skip the craftmatics, sleepin’ on the baddest illmatic attic is just ass backwards, peep the mathamatics, no more semantics from that crack attic, the flow is black magic!”
“Pull out the Ferrari I shit on opposition, I look in the rearview and I see my competition
I ain’t talking bout people behind my position, I’m talking bout my reflection
I’m my only competition”
“You suckas want ruckus then you busters can come and get me
I sex your mama, it’s the mothafucka in me
Hit it doggystyle wearin’ nothin but a semi
Give me a reason to squeeze I’m reachin’ with ease
Knock you from your feet to your knees
Make it easy to bleed
Got a flow so cold
When I’m speaking niggas speakers’ll freeze
It ain’t no secret, I ether MC’s”
“what do i think of the industry ? think its a FAG FEST/
rappers wearing their boxers backwards for easy ACCESS/
how you think ge got on? he aint that FRESH/
soon as a rapper die burry him in a black dress”
“You See the weeklys give you a peek into my life,
give your speakers a view,
My musics a movie it features my crew, Its the steriod flow,
Wheres the Mitchell report,
I’m pitching to Cleamans while Barry Bonds sitting in court
They call the flow delicious blow get Hollywood bitches to snort
Sick lyrics of the rediculus sort, let it spread accross the nation
Serve you like Arthur Ashe
Rockin’ a mask, so call this Arthur Jason
Yes, my Smith N Wess finesse altercations
Walkin’ with chest out like breast augmentation
Lookin’ for another gun I can miss use
Like Harris Publication I got is-sues
Like I stepped in dog shit I got ish shoes ”
“I’m a Maybach, don’t play that
I’m vicious with the Mack, pistol sizzle in your ass
I’m a grave digger like my nigga RZA in the past
Since word is bond I vasectomies tongues
I got niggas doing cardio when I exercise guns”
———– CROOKED I
ahahahahah dumb kids….
why does someones talent have to be measured by sales especially in todays world with dumb little kids involved in rap and supporting the whack ass mothafuckas who spit BELOW average and 0 creativity, theres plenty of vicious mcs out there who spit real shit but arent famous as they should be but the music is quality and thier fans support it
There’s going to be people who love his shit and there’s people who don’t. Either way it’s cool crooked still grabbin peoples attention, witch means he’s doing somthin right. Why else would people who hate click the jump on his shit and take the time to posts some negative shit. Hate or love em but his shit drops November 4th cuz.
Cash. Over. Bitches
