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

i really like how he sometimes lets the beats ride out for way after he's finished rapping. he's definitely a guy who has a strong relationship with the beats he chooses; deej otm calling him being a rap nerd. sucks that other songs get cut short mid bar tho

dope artwork

yeah, dude has probably the strongest aesthetic of any rapper that i can think of right now.

i love how dude is a total rap nerd ... he drops so many references & has a pretty great / diverse selection of beats-from-rap-history & different styles ...

― lyrics is weak ... like clock radio similes (deej)

total rap nerd loving another total rap nerd shocka

yes

ha. as an aging rawkus nerd, i really appreciate curren$y's ongoing nerdy shouts to mos def -- the respiration quote on 'fashionably late,' "the potency of the beat is consistent with the fact that mos did it"...

i don't think shouting out your producer gets to count as nerdy. ("resperation" quote, sure)

haha yeah ok. still feel like there might inherently be something a little nerdy about working with mos def to begin with. (i mean this as a compliment!)

yeah.

the new tape isn't really doing much for me. it seems like spitta isn't very.....present, i guess, on it.

the rapping just kinda recedes into the background

am I the only who sees m white posts and my brain starts going "MICHAEL WHITE! MICHAEL WHITE MICHAEL WHITE! *skewdodododododo*" now?

i wasn't but now i will be

haha I was doing that but I couldn't figure out why

more anecdotal currensy vs wiz: this evening I showed my sister how to use slsk and the first song she went for was "say yeah"

Will this be the first rap mixtape I ever hear?

!

re currensy as rap nerd:

ok <3 <3 <3 curren$y on mtv jams repping for masta ace and kid frost

Apparently he's got a new album coming out next week? And then Pilot Talk III in April. Dude is one productive stoner.

Apparently he also has an Alchemist-produced mixtape in the works.

curious to hear that.

he used to rap like BG way back in the day:

really like this guy.

that verse is dope

yeah, dude has probably the strongest aesthetic of any rapper that i can think of right now.

the back-cover art of pilot talk being a weedy parody of a motivational poster that used to be in a lot of my high school classrooms was A+

or sorry not back-cover. the booklet. it was in the booklet.

Looks like Muscle Car Chronicles isn't coming out this week then? Guess i shouldn't believe everything i read on Wikipedia

If you are watching this just to see Curren$y thumbs up.

Sweet. Looks like he's going for a different sound on this one too.

ok that cover is the greatest damn thing

Yeah dudes got a great aesthetic

sounds promising. agree about his design aesthetic

Just listening to Return to the Winners' Circle for the first time. On the all-kinds-of-rap nerd tip, dude quoting E40 and shouting out Mac Dre makes me love him even more.

someone ever post this

Has anyone seen this dude live? Wondering if he plays with a band or what.

I've seen footage of him performing live w/ band, but it seems like he usually plays w/ a dj.

Bout to f/w Covert Coup.

Feeling that little bass riff that Blood Sweat & Gears is built around.

Fiend sounds great too.

^^^yeah this track is awesome too

fiend has the best new orleans accent ever. he sounds like he hasn't left the french quarter in 70 years.
