"lookin down at my watch it's like i'm flyin over vegas"
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 (fourteen years ago) link
currensy still a great rapper tho
deej what is yr fave curren$y material btw

'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 (fourteen 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 (fourteen 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 (fourteen 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.

― FRIDGED WAG MANPAIN syndrome (zorn_bond.mp3), Wednesday, 18 August 2010 06:00 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen 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 (fourteen 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 (fourteen 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

like listen 2 this & tell me he cant rap -- he raps circles around wiz here
― NOT FUNNY NEEDS MORE GUCCI (deej), Wednesday, 18 August 2010 06:13 (fourteen years ago) link
wiz definitely isn't the more seasoned rapper -- i could see how people could like him more, but he can come off as too much of a goofball at times
― be my anchor baby (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 18 August 2010 06:14 (fourteen years ago) link
like i said tho, i think they have a good thing together and that joint mixtape is probably the most enjoyable thing that each has done

I think Curren$y's easily the better rapper between him and Wiz, but Wiz's personality is a little more outward while Curren$y's is more insular. Wiz also has a knack for catchy hooks, more so than Curren$y, I think. But they work well together. Just enough overlap in their styles but enough divergence between the two.

dude went from nu-nas to 'i think wiz is better' over the course of one album :-/
― NOT FUNNY NEEDS MORE GUCCI (deej), Wednesday, 18 August 2010 06:27 (fourteen years ago) link
i mean the thing is i just don't hear him going for the same stuff on this record. all these beats are so languid and jazz fusiony, he doesn't really give himself a chance to go hard here, maybe for the sake of album flow. there aren't really any bangers!
― FRIDGED WAG MANPAIN syndrome (zorn_bond.mp3), Wednesday, 18 August 2010 06:37 (fourteen years ago) link
I think he sorta lets loose on tracks like "Address" (great track: "MAKING HOT WHEELS OUT OF HOOPTIES!"). And I think he goes in just as hard lyrically, it's just that the flows aren't as speedy. But the beats aren't built for those kind of flows.
― altered boners (rennavate), Wednesday, 18 August 2010 06:42 (fourteen years ago) link
the thing that's great about him is that it's almost impossible to tell where lines begin and end...
