Yeah, I love this album – have played it obsessively for two weeks.

this is pleasantly compensating for my increasing disappointment w/big boi (nb i actually bother to buy like 5 hip-hop albums a year so i gotta pick my spots)--they're both in my car these days and it's been no trouble choosing which one to put on.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 17 August 2010 18:13 (thirteen years ago) link
i really like how unnatural he can sound rapping abt the standard signifiers (money/cars/girls/etc.)--like a lot of the songs can be read as these blazed daydreams of some guy chillin in his room in nola.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 17 August 2010 18:15 (thirteen years ago) link
That sounds right.

I love the disc, but I actually don't think he sounds that odd rapping about money/cars/girls.
― altered boners (rennavate), Tuesday, 17 August 2010 20:11 (thirteen years ago) link
he definitely has a lackadaisical, circular flow that works for him, tho i disagree that the beats are a selling point here
need to listen again tho

i think it's hilarious that after quoting "hard in da paint" he momentarily slips into "b.m.f." as if to illustrate that no one can tell the difference between lex luger beats

huge rong challop
that said, i was surprised how disappointed I was w/ how his sound worked w/ currensy's here. this record is not my favorite currensy material i gotta say
― NOT FUNNY NEEDS MORE GUCCI (deej), Tuesday, 17 August 2010 23:56 (thirteen years ago) link

'this aint no mixtape' -- higher than 30 & the joint one w/ wiz from last year are dope too
― NOT FUNNY NEEDS MORE GUCCI (deej), Wednesday, 18 August 2010 00:49 (thirteen years ago) link
i love the production on this album (the live instruments are a great touch) but I still don't "get" curren$y completely... he's obviously a goo rapper but his delivery/voice is just soooooooo monotonous and boring. i feel like all of the people who've jacked his style (wayne, wiz, etc.) do "curren$y" better than curren$y does

Don't hear the monotony at all -- sounds like concentration to my ears.

this album is better than i thought, but i really love the dynamic that him & wiz have
― be my anchor baby (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 18 August 2010 05:11 (thirteen years ago) link
the thing that's great about him is that it's almost impossible to tell where lines begin and end... he's sort of like someone who raps much faster, except obv currensy is languid as fuck
― be my anchor baby (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 18 August 2010 05:16 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah he just has these run on based or craig finn lines where there isn't really meter he just goes in

I think these beats are gorgeous, languorous things that are actually really interesting if you examine them closely. That statement about Ski is def challops, J0rdan.

thinkin that is exactly why the new record is not a good representative of his style
― NOT FUNNY NEEDS MORE GUCCI (deej), Wednesday, 18 August 2010 06:02 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah he really has found a near perfect balance between rambling and a precise flow & then sometimes he'll hit you with a sliver of a crystal clear image that kind of stops you in your tracks
― be my anchor baby (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 18 August 2010 06:04 (thirteen years ago) link
like on the "super high" remix when he goes "chronic twisted up like fingers and gang signs"
― be my anchor baby (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 18 August 2010 06:05 (thirteen years ago) link
come to think of it, i wish more beats on this album were like "super high" -- more precise and languid, and less busy

not on the tape btw even tho it has a drama drop
for real i could get down with a whole album of wayne going "and i'll still break her off like a chair leg" if he was rapping over some chill curren$y beats and letting his mind wander a bit ("yellow hearted... lemon meringue")
