Bape Era Young Money > David Lee Roth Pants Era Young Money.

Sheeeet, I actually vaguely remember seeing this ages ago before becoming a fan of Curren$y’s music, yet somehow never made the connection that it was him rapping. Thanks to HipHoppin from Philaflava for pointing this out.

Two things to note here. First, I like Mike G’s experiments in c&s more than those of other youngsters trying their hand at it (another one of his efforts posted here). Second, I have nothing against Dom Kennedy and enjoy some of his music, but I like how his voice sounds slowed down more than his regular voice.

1. So is the OFWGKTA honeymoon over? Maybe not yet but the writing is on the wall. While they’ve become everyone’s favorite internet phenomenon this year; restoring faith in all the aging dinosaurs and helping a legion white angst Gleaming The Cube watching Z-boys get back on their boards with a Terry Kennedy shirt on, the fact remains each passing day Tyler continues to alienate his dollars. Many have compared them to Wu-Tang, though Odd Future is more like a group with a Ghostface, a Rae and a bunch of U-Gods. Prodigy wasn’t this much of a yenta during the trife life days of 4th & B’wy Tyler stays fucking up his Good Charlotte remix money with each his ridiculous diatribe about labels, bloggers, fans, people over the age of 18, people under the age of 18, you name it. Tyler talks so much like a broad he could be a stand-in for The View anytime Joy is sick.

I like Tyler, I have liked most of the OF release too, but it’s painful to see somebody handle success so poorly so fast. Staying true is great. Remaining loyal to friends, fans and your music is inspiring, but he he is slowing going to turn into this years Eli Porter with wit, charisma and Spock ears if he doesn’t pump his brakes. Saying faggot as many times as Vinnie Paz or his infatuation with over-enunciating nigger or constantly reminding us 2DopeBoyz snubbed them isn’t going to take them to the finish line. OF needs Earl to come home quick before the ship sails. Swag out!

2. Now that Devin The Dude has made a decent album since 2007 (Waiting To Inhale) is it cool to replace him with Curren$y?

3. In 2012 I have absolutely no desire to listen to anyone from Hieroglyphics not named Casual. What Cas needs to do is bounce the fuck from that team and link up with the Mob Figaz boys. Imagine a Casual album produced by Jake One, Alchemist, Droop-E, Traxamillion and maybe the SD50′s for old times?

4. Jay-Z’s interviews > Jay-Z’s verses lately

5. The greatest diss this year wasn’t in a form of a record, rather a Tweet. Jay Electronica simply annihilates Puffy with just a few lines of truth. Exposing Puff yet again to the opportunist, back-peddling snake that he is.

I’m trying to avoid spoiling this album for myself, but since it’s the same Curren$y lyrics and I already posted a vid of Rae recording his verse…

If you just want to hear more from the album and don’t care about spoilers, there’s another leak here.

can’t wait for this album

Curren$y ft. Fiend – Flying Iron from Creative Control on Vimeo.

Just wanted to point out that this Curren$y video uses footage from Golgo 13: The Professional, which is my favorite anime of all time.  It’s almost 20 years old but I would still rank it higher than about 85% of the action movies made today.  It really is that good.  The key to its success is complete lack of sentimentality – no one last job before retiring, no falling in love with the beautiful woman who happens to be the target, no honor amongst thieves.  Just a man with a rifle that never misses, unbeatable karate skills and and an occasional well sated sex kitten left somewhere in the wake.  Currently there are two feature length films and two seasons of the tv series available on dvd, as well as a live action adaptation perfectly cast with Sonny Chiba in the lead.  You can get all that through amazon, I would suggest starting with The Professional.

Also, while we’re here might as well post the two new Curren$y songs that came out today:

DZA did will in his recent collaborations with Curren$y, plus the production credits and the guest list are impressive. So this this seems promising, certainly worth a try.
