Why You Should Listen To: Curren$y [MixEP]

DuB January 13, 2011 31

So the last piece I wrote was on Spitta, and I gave y’all his underground discography. Well our own Verbose told me that the amount of music I gave was overwhelming. He suggested I give you guys a MixEp like H20 did for Charles Hamilton. I had no problem doing this. The hardest thing was picking the songs really. Anyway here is some of Curren$y the Hot Spitta’s best work (in my opinion). Check it out!

1. Title Track (Fear And Loathing In New Orleans)
2. Serious Freestyle (Welcome Back)
3. Audio Dope (Smokee Robinson)
4. I Did It Myself (Super Tecmo Bowl)
5. She On My Mind (Independence Day)
6. Smoke-N-Maintain (Life At 30,000 Feet)
7. Another Story To Tell (Welcome To The Winner’s Circle)
8. Galaxy Rap (Life At 30,000 Feet)
9. Can I Have it Like this (G Series Vol. 1)
10. The Explanation (Fin…)

Hailing from the West side of the country, Las Vegas to be exact, DuB was a fan of the website before he became a writer over here at the Fro'. He said, "I came for the Certified Bangers, but stayed for the Hip Hop". Once he saw what the site had to offer, he contacted us and asked if there was a position opening. Although we explained that we couldn't pay him initially he was still down for the cause. He officially joined the team in October of 2010, and has been putting in work ever since. Along with Arkitek, DuB has helped Fro' Nation hear the voice of the West Coast.

    I was waitin for this to get the official post here before I gave it a spin so I could listen to it with errbody else. I’m gunna load this in my IPod and go shovel some snow. I’ll let you know what I think later today DuBz. so far youre 1 of only 3 (4 if you include me) cats with the balls to step up to the challenge.

    btw, dope cover Easy. the B+W makes the color pop nicely

  • DJ LP

    Once again Pass part 3

    • http://nappyafro.com DuB

      Damn Lp. If it sucks so much why don’t you make one? As a matter of fact I challenge you to make one and stop bitchin about everyone elses MixEps.

      • http://nappyafro.com Verbose

        yeah, I second that challenge.

        if its so easy to condense an artists catalog into the 10 best that will turn the most people on to whoever, then you bust one out LP

        everybodys so quick to shit on each other like people aren’t actually using their free, unpaid time to contribute to something here

        and I bet I know what the response’ll be…

      • DJ LP

        I never said anything about it sucking nor was I criticizing you on your MixEp skill. I just don’t like Curren$y. Get your shit right.

        So just cuz I’m passing on a listen I’m shitting on ya’ll? Oh I don’t like Curren$y so I must be hating and shitting on DuB. FOH with that logic

        • http://nappyafro.com Verbose

          if its really just some misunderstanding, then why you acting so cunty?

          the fact of the matter is, making a point to say “pass” (and not even “hey good job, but its not my thing”) is like sticking your head into a restaurant and shouting “I’m not gunna eat here!”, or walking by a painter and telling him “I’m not going to buy your art”. who the fuck cares if you’re NOT gunna listen? how is DuB (or anyone else) s’posed to use that information?
          save that negativity for when we’re reviewing retail albums, not when we’re makin’ sampler mixes for each other to pass around our little community.

          I’ll admit tho, what I WASN’T betting on was you bitching out of a challenge so quickly.
          I thought you’d rise to the occasion, not tuck your tail and hiss.

          • DJ LP

            So what I can’t have an opinion on a certain artist. I’ve said ill pass on all things curren$y no matter who wrote the article. And since when have niggas been catching feelings just because someone said “pass”. You don’t see Jerm crying when I throw my little shots at him for fun

            And since when am I bitching out on a challenge? No where in that comment did I say I was gonna or not gonna do it. So y’all need to quit putting fucking words in my mouth. Just because I don’t want to do something makes me a bitch? Yeah great logic in that reasoning. FOH

          • http://nappyafro.com DuB

            Stop whining and prove us wrong. Make an Ep

          • http://nappyafro.com Verbose

            y’know, someone from the Nappy Universe talked some sense into me and told me I went a little overboard and maybe I was too insulting.

            so if I was LP, then thats my bad. but I just thought we were bustin’ chops, I wasnt seriously trying to offend anyone.

          • DJ LP

            @Verbose I wasn’t offended, I don’t mind shots but don’t expect me not to reply when a war is brewing. There is a big difference, but its whatever.

            @DuB expect two EP’s within the next couple days since reasoning is whining all of a sudden

  • P-Rob

    good mix but its hard to pin down spitta’s 10 best with all his songs.

  • Kevin

    Also do not pass on Pilot Talk 1 and 2. Those are fucking great albums.

    • http://nappyafro.com DuB

      i know they are great, but i focused on his underground material because i feel it is over looked so much

      • Kevin

        It is true. I consider myself a pretty big Spitta fan and I don’t have a bunch of these tracks. Good looks!

  • DGAF

    For years I’ve been warning y’all at the Fro to not sleep on Curren$y, finally startin to catch on. Another good post about my dude….nice work DuB

  • arkitekt

    nice. ive been playing currensy alot lately, and i don’t got any of this

  • P-Body

    Curren$y is that dude. Once again I feel bad for sleeping on him during the 04-05 era.

  • Rickjamesbitch

    Good job DuB, I always thought Currensy was good lyrically but I don’t lik his voice, I’ll DL
    This and give him a chance though.

  • Rickjamesbitch

    Title Track is hot!!!

  • Rickjamesbitch

    After a night listening to this mix I can safely say that Curren$y is better than I thought, you’ve made a fan out of me, good job DuB

      • Rickjamesbitch

    • Rickjamesbitch

    • http://nappyafro.com DuB

      I used Itunes to change the track numbers and the Album name, thats the easiest way.

  • Spyda
