baby d's i'm bout money - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwXchrgZSy8 The rap is _deeply_ lamentable, but the production's nice, the little flute synth is purty and the hook is addictive... gonna be jacked on a zillion mixtapes shortly. I'd love to get an instrumental.
― forksclovetofu, Monday, 21 April 2008 05:06 (sixteen years ago) link
the rapping is way less lamentable than the awful chorus. production is aight i guess.

Curren$y was one of the guys Lil Wayne signed to Young Money Ent. before he realized that noone besides Wayne and Baby were ever gonna put any records out over there and left. definitely a talented dude, outshined Wayne on some mixtape tracks, I'll have to check for that.

don't have to check too hard; try "curren$y rapidshare"

datpiff.com is a good spot for mixtapes

i just thought it was a funny thing to think you have to point out! when i say "check for" an internet-only release it's basically because only 10% of the time I'm online am I actually at home and able to download or listen to music. but yeah, i like datpiff.

'general courtesy' wtf is this the ritztone thread now
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, 23 April 2008 19:48 (sixteen years ago) link
The reason I pointed it out was cuz it's so readily available at the moment and I'm listening to it now. Hoos, don't you work at the Ritz?

lol ritztone
anyway i always thought currensy was only an okay rapper, his voice is pretty monotone and emotionless iirc tho i think he had a few good verses on some of the songs off of the og carter III leak

at least they actually wrote an article around the interview instead of a straight up Q&A. his last XXL cover story was the most incomprehensible and pointless interview I've ever read.

Guilty Simpson is prolly the second best hip-hop album of 08 so far after Webbie.
-- Whiney G. Weingarten, Tuesday, April 8, 2008 12:18 PM (2 weeks ago) Bookmark Link
finally heard this guy on the Morgan State radio station the other night, until he said his name a minute or two into the song I kept thinking "is this Beanie Sigel? why is he rhyming over some tinny faux-Dilla shit?". no way can a rapper with breath control as pathetic as Webbie have the best album of the year or even the past 3-4 months, though. the album has a few jams but the guy couldn't ride a beat if it had handlebars and a bucket seat.

come to think i'm actually really liking this. dude over some of my favorite beats of the last couple years and he raps like he's a hip-hop head instead of hustler or a self-consciously insular wordy underground weirdo. it's like we grew up loving the same records and where i decided to write about it he decided to make it.
