I think Weekend at Bernies was alright not his best work at all. I would have rather you checked out and reviewed his Covert Coupe project produced by Alchecmist.

I guess Curren$y is an acquired taste but I’m definitely a fan of his music and work ethic. The laid back low key feeling of his music is what draws me to it. He has an uncanny ear for beats, decent flow and wordplay and he’s very consistent.

Like Sushigoat above, I really like Pilot Talk 1 and feel pretty lukewarm about the rest of Curren$y’s work. Which leads me to believe that I like Curren$y best when he is rhyming over Ski Beatz. Ski’s production is incredibly lush and reminds me of early 2000s Boom Bap, only with a southern twist. It’s the ideal compliment to Curren$y’s slow drawl.

Curren$y’s never gonna have the dynamic delivery of Lil Wayne, who can, and does, turn in great performances from a myriad of producers. However, when Curren$y raps over a beat that accentuates his slow delivery, it really highlights his fantastic wordplay, a calling card that allows him to stand out as one of the better rappers out there.

really curren$y has one of the best beats, using live instrumentals. Hes on a serious roll, hes putting so many albums out this year. One of the most consistent rappers in the game. His music definitely for chillin in the summer.

Eagle droppings, Fly shit

I really like this track. It’s really chill and I like the groove. Perhaps, I am not as discerning about beats as the next guy. Curren$y definitely has my ear for the moment, but I do feel it’s time he steps his game up to the next level. If his next release is anything like Weekend at Burnies I could see myself starting to get bored. I remain optimistic.

This was so, so much worse than the Big Sean track…bleh.

I agree to some extent with most people here– Weekend at Burnie’s is definitely one of Curren$y’s weaker modern efforts, but there are good tracks on it. “#jetsgo” and “She Don’t Want a Man” are both greater examples of tracks from this album… That said, this is the man’s second full-length release out of four planned, and he released a mixtape earlier in the year, and Pilot Talk I and II and other mixtapes the year before. The man’s prolific, so you’re bound to run into some not-as-amazing songs with him.

That said, I disagree with most about the first Pilot Talk being the better one. There are some instant classics on that album (“King Kong”), but II has a better flow to it. The beats are really enchanting, and like someone else mentioned, great for cruisin’ around.

I think Curren$y’s earlier release of the year, Covert Coup, is the most impressive thing he’s done yet. The beats are hypnotic, and the whole thing’s over in less than 30 minutes, there are some great guests (Freddie Gibbs, Big KRIT, Fiend), and Curren$y’s lyrics are on point (though they don’t really say much–guess you have to appreciate the lyrical jumping jacks over what he’s actually saying).

I also smoke weed, pretty frequently, and I’d have to say it attributes a little. Being a chronic weed smoker you don’t mind someone raps about smokin’ weed a lot, especially when you’re using wordplay like Curren$y is. And the beats sometimes cater to that listening state–I like Covert Coup a whole lot, because it’s very entrancing, but I could see some sober individual saying the beats are repetitive and go nowhere.

A little late, but i feel like Curren$y is one of the better rappers out right now. One thing i need to say is that he has a his own “language” if you must say. So some people that are not fans may be like what the fuck is he talking about. Smoking weed definitely helps but it not totally necessary to liking his music. To me he is one of the few artists that I can listen to an album from start to finish without getting distracted. Although I will say he does have better albums than this that you should of reviewed. And he actually says it himself, he’s just rapping about what he does in his day to day life.
