There's value there, that is something that even all-time greats like Jay-Z and Nas struggle with.Ĭase in point: as long as there's weed to smoke and 2k to play, Curren$y will be around dropping quality. On Friday, September 22, Tastemaker Live & Sean Healy Present the Curreny Pilot Talk Trilogy Tour at the WOW Hall with special guests to be announced. The dude's ceilings might not be as high as his peers, but his floor is much higher - meaning, his worst music is a step above the worst music of others. But where Curren$y beats them out is his quantity (man drops 80 projects a year) and consistency. For example, I don't think his best ever songs could compete with the best ever songs from, say, Big KRIT or Danny Brown. It's interesting, because I don't think Curren$y's greatness stems from his best songs. That deserves some bonus points in my mind. Every other song ranges from just listenable enough (I'm not wild about some songs at the tail-end of Pilot Talk 3) to absolutely sensational (GOOD WEED AND BROADS, SPACESHIPS AND STARS/ ROLL OUT THE RED CARPET BUT HOLD THE APPLAUSE). Out of *40 songs,* I can't fill up the fingers in one hand counting my skips. So why did I not rate this an 84-85, which would be an average of those three scores? Because, when I listen to all three albums in a row in this complete package, I think I skip. I rated the first two Pilot Talks 85s, and I rated Pilot Talk 3 an 84.
