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

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
2966660, Here it is

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 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
2966425, he's just consistent man

I know Trademark left a yr or two ago

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

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...

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

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
