curren$y (or currensy i guess) - pilot talk

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

this is kinda how I feel after two listens...it's like I wouldn't even mind if you went off on some backpack spaceshuttle out there type stuff but the tropes are so standard and he's got no swagger at all

(yes yes I know check the mixtapes out maybe I will, later)

wow the e-40 album is massive

love love the beat on 'over the stove'

that twinkly arpeggio makes the 'life under the scope' beat for me and it's mixed too low to hear or gone completely in the youtube/single version

currensy is allll swagger

bags of purple
strong enough to bring stefan urquelle out of urkel

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

feeling this btw

this dude is pretty much 'keep it positive' x stoner

o...........tm

where haven't we been yet? ...atlantis...shangri la...

slo mo in my fast whip

polar bear pimpin got your woman catchin chills

ive been posting some of his new stuff in fruity swag thread

iirc you posted some of his old stuff in a text to me this morning

otm -- *gets high & rides around to it*

"chilled coughphee" is great

i think 'pilot talk' starts & ends really well -- the middle portion is kinda soft tho -- "seat change" beat is one of my least favorite of the year

michael knight is aight but that song w/ fiend is so dope

Hmmm, I actually feel like it takes a few tracks to really warm up. And that's including "Seat Change," which I agree is a bit weak. After that, though? My favorite three-track sequence on the album is right in the middle: "Roasted" (love the juxtaposition of hungry articulate rapping w/ that super-mellow weed-haze wood flute)->"Skybourne"->"Hangover."

"Address" should be the closer, to be honest. Switch the order of that and "Life Under the Scope," which has a kind of dinky beat, and you have a great closer.

finally someone agrees with me about that beat

pilot talk 2 is around -- still dont really feel michael knight but the rest is pleasin meh

thanx for the heads up

Love Pilot Talk 2.

got pilot talk 2 today and it is DOING IT for me. man I love this.

im into dis

Pilot Talk 2 >>>>> the first. I can't stop listening. The tracks are so much denser and slower, and Curren$y sounds totally comfortable kicking it.

gotta go out and get this today

yeah this shit is dope

i love "montreaux"

and the guitar on "A Gee."

"montreaux" reminds me of "The Caves of Altamira" kinda

I listened to this album three or four times straight the other night.

The second one is much better and it's it a lot to doneith Michael knight

yeah ive been saying this guys ... on the 1st one he was just a sleepy stoner, i was really confused about why ppl were so into it. this one hes back on the artful rap style that he does best

OG (The Jam) is like someone gave him a big cup of coffee

that's the best song on here, changed my mind

the beat on that flight briefing track is kinda absurd to hear in 2010

it's always so jarring when iTunes hops from Curren$y to Current 93- this has happened many times and it's just . . . whoah

i was really confused about why ppl were so into it.

I'd never heard of him before Pilot Talk, so.

deej when I'm making this active effort to not be on your ass all day "I've been saying this" on the day an album comes out is practically irresistible bait

'i told you so' was that curren$y was much better than pilot talk let on, based on his earlier mixtapes, which i mentioned/discussed upthread. ppl who included the 1st on one best-of lists are chumps imo -- subpar

also 'i told u so' is kind of basic-level deej persona ish

keep it classy

Never heard the mixtape, liked the first album a lot, love this one; the second album illuminates the first, actually.
