2963112, The Curren$y thread Posted by Hellyeah, Thu Apr-21-16 06:54 AM
since he dropped a brand new EP w/ Purps
http://www.datpiff.com/Curreny-PURPS-Bourbon-Street-Secrets-mixtape.778250.html
and he will likely drop 4356346734734 more projects until the end of the year, let's keep all discussions about his current projects here.
More 2016 releases

2963118, This thread won't even fall off the front page Posted by ry 213, Thu Apr-21-16 08:33 AM
By the time he releases his next project lol

but it's almost unlistenable since it's music ripped off a movie

|
2963335, RE: Dude works so hard Posted by JFrost1117, Fri Apr-22-16 11:28 AM
I don't understand how he would create a setlist for a tour or performance. I guess whatever is most recent with some "classics"?
|
2966259, yeah, i wonder how many of his own songs he remembers his lyrics to Posted by DJR, Sun May-22-16 09:29 AM
I'm a fan, and I can't even come close to keeping up.
|
2966276, He mostly does album cuts Posted by Nodima, Sun May-22-16 03:45 PM
And sprinkles in new stuff.
I've seen him twice and besides the Alchemist stuff he didn't play much from his free releases from what I recall.

2963341, I feel bad I haven't listened to the new EP yet Posted by mrhood75, Fri Apr-22-16 12:30 PM
Downloaded it Wednesday night. Was prepared to listen to it Thursday on the way to work, and... you can guess what happened.
But I'm still amazed at his work ethic and his commitment to putting out material. And truthfully, I've enjoyed just about every project that he's released these past few years. Only one I was so-so on was "Weed and Instrumentals," but that doesn't really count.

2966255, not curren$y but my 2nd favorite jet life artist Posted by Hellyeah, Sun May-22-16 04:47 AM
Le$ is coming out with a new mixtape next saturday to celebrate the anniversary of the excellent E36 mixtape
techno violet
https://www.instagram.com/p/BE460RuiFqq/?taken-by=settle4les
|
2966285, I saw Le$ for the first time last year at the spitta show Posted by decaturpsalm, Sun May-22-16 06:55 PM
heard him on features here and there but never followed him
he instantly made me interested in his music through his peformance and some of the cuts he did. i mean....i thought that was a big deal cuz I usually dont pay that much to other JLR artists
but i got steak and shrimp 1 and it was everything i expected from his show and still fuck with it today.... howeved steak and shrimp 2 was terribly weak to me especially compared to the 1st imo.... so to see he got something else coming out is good cuz he kinda lost me. ill check it out

|
2966287, love spitta but carrollton heist was kinda weak Posted by decaturpsalm, Sun May-22-16 06:57 PM
even on alc's end...not much there to get into it didnt have much replay value for me.. and part of that was prolly cuz I was expecting a covert coup sequel but it was not that at all

2966352, Canal Street Confidential? Posted by C. Thelonius, Tue May-24-16 12:53 AM

|
2966366, How do these compare against his earlier tapes? Posted by Stadium Status, Tue May-24-16 10:53 AM
Was a fan for a long time but my interest kind of waned after the quality started dropping in 2012/2013 - are any of these standouts? Which tape from this year is his best?
|
2966415, some of them shits got better in my view Posted by Mash_Comp, Tue May-24-16 08:41 PM

2966684, Did him and Roddy fall out? Posted by QBoogie, Sun May-29-16 03:19 PM
Looks like Roddy doing his own thing. I dug Roddy man.
|
2966929, Roddy nor Trademark are around like that anyomre Posted by illEskoBar221, Thu Jun-02-16 09:27 AM
I know Trademark left a yr or two ago street wizard pops in and out as well hell it seems like Dza fiend and everyone is doing them these days
Roddy is finally finding his own voice Route The ruler was dope but for a looong time he sounded like a lite spitta
|
2981214, RE: Did him and Roddy fall out? Posted by SP1200, Mon Jan-02-17 02:51 PM
I mean, I heard an example of him not taking care of his people a while back (not them in particular) so not surprised.

2966950, whats the verdict on Legend of Harvard Blue? Posted by QBoogie, Thu Jun-02-16 01:55 PM
3 tracks in and haven't heard anything I didn't like immediately yet. So far this year though Carrolton Heist is my favorite.

|
2974869, funny- Posted by , Thu Oct-06-16 08:20 AM
I haven't checked out any other release except andretti - and I think it's dope. I'm assuming I'm about to have mind mind blown from his other 30 drops this year. werd.
|
2975037, you know I feel the same way ... Posted by QBoogie, Fri Oct-07-16 07:07 PM

2974936, All on One Tape and This Side+ FLAMES Posted by illEskoBar221, Thu Oct-06-16 06:26 PM
They have that "Saturday Nite Car Tunes" feel to them
actually Lil C style was on one of these songs off even more saturday nite cartunes i guess he's the new Young Roddy? Is Roddy still Jet Life or Nah?
|
2976596, RE: All on One Tape and This Side+ FLAMES Posted by Hellyeah, Mon Oct-31-16 05:08 AM

2990437, Pilot Talk 1-3 coming back to all music platforms this summer Posted by mrshow, Tue May-16-17 05:46 PM
https://www.instagram.com/p/BUKCwHfAHPi/
Great cover. I'm glad these are going to be more readily available now. 1 and 2 are two of my fav albums from that late 90s/early 00s era.
|
2990496, Pilot Talk came out in 2010... Posted by wrecknoble, Wed May-17-17 12:33 PM
whachu mean late 90s/early 2000s? lol

2990517, i'd love to see this as a box set Posted by justin_scott, Wed May-17-17 06:02 PM
all 3 albums + unreleased songs, etc.
|
2990524, this isn't all 3 albums together? Posted by High Society, Wed May-17-17 07:46 PM
edit - nevermind...
Does this mean all streaming and digital platforms? I thought all music platforms meant physicals. I figured these albums were already on streaming.
|
2990535, you might be right Posted by justin_scott, Wed May-17-17 08:28 PM
altho i would assume even if it is all 3 albums, it wouldn't include unreleased songs, hard to find joints, etc.
|
2990502, his most recent mixtape, The 4/20 Massacre is fire Posted by wrecknoble, Wed May-17-17 01:15 PM
a return to jacking beats and flowing over them effortlessly
|
2992785, Upcoming projects Posted by SsenepoD, Mon Jul-03-17 06:50 PM
he has Fetti w/Freddie Gibbs dropping, Lacs & Chevys w/Krit, Smokee Robinson 2 w/Don Cannon, plus Motion Picture Soundtrack...& i still wanna know whatever happened to Puff Daddy w/Chuck Inglish
|
2992841, RE: Upcoming projects Posted by ry 213, Tue Jul-04-17 01:03 PM
He mentioned on IG that he was doing another project with Harry Fraud. Cigarette Boats is my favorite Curren$y CD by far...

2992970, during Youtube dive last night found a Talib, Kendrick, Currensy joint Posted by High Society, Thu Jul-06-17 07:15 PM
I enjoyed Currensy the most. Then Kendrick. Then garbage ass Kweli.
Kweli has flooded the market so much, I don't even know what to check for anymore.
The last album I heard in full was Ear Drum which I loved. Or Liberation w/ Madlib. Not sure which came first.
But that was the last of Talib I rocked with. I love Styles P, how's that album? Production solid? Anybody know who on the beats?

that's about it for me too, so about 10 years ago. for me it's not that he's put out too much music, I just don't think he has that same special thing he had during his pre-the beautiful struggle run. kweli used to be so poetic, just lines that really stuck with you. same thing happened with common & mos.
|
3016138, This new EP w/ LNDN DRGS and Jay Worthy (Umbrella) is worth a listen Posted by Oak27, Fri May-10-19 09:13 AM
Ghetto Gospel, Payback and Umbrella are all solid tracks for the luscious production alone. Worth your 20 minutes if you're even just a casual Curren$y fan or, like myself, hardly check for him these days
|
3016145, Hadn't heard of this. Did it just drop? Posted by mrhood75, Fri May-10-19 01:06 PM
Liked everything Curren$y put out last year, so I'm very much still in.
|
3016146, Yeah it dropped today, his second project of the year Posted by Oak27, Fri May-10-19 01:23 PM
He and Wiz had a collab called 2009 that dropped like a month or so ago, but I wasn't into that one.
|
3016167, Solid ... Posted by QBoogie, Sun May-12-19 03:37 PM
