'this aint no mixtape' -- higher than 30 & the joint one w/ wiz from last year are dope too

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.

Yuuuuuup. Smokee Robinson mixtape from earlier this year and How Fly w/ Wiz are my favorite Curren$y material.

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

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 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

― NOT FUNNY NEEDS MORE GUCCI (deej), Wednesday, 18 August 2010 06:27 (thirteen 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 (thirteen 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.

"the hangover" is kinda hilarious cause he raps over a 110 bpm beat like it was 130 bpm, with the former seeming just as relatively fast for him as the latter would be for most rappers

don't really understand how this guy got so huge, how did ppl become fans of him? like "where da cash at" was cool and if he was still on young money he might be their best rapper, but i've yet to hear any recent solo stuff that's exciting on any level.
