The sixteen I would prob check out. I'm an Dre3000 fan. I'm prob the only one here to admit it
GOTDAYUMMMMMMMMMM. Finally got home and was able to give this shit a listen. This isn't even but a clip, and I mean GOTDAYUM.
I never thought those two would make such a good match. Not at all.

Yela and Krit seem like such a great mix, hope it lives up to its potential.

I was wondering when the music video for this would drop...
You're the only one to admit being a Dre fan? That doesn't even make sense.
I saw AraabMuzik and rolled my eyes, but it sounds like a good match...

havent gotten much time to absorb the new frank ocean, but i hate the new "thinkin about you". shit is waaaaaaaaaaaay too overproduced. too much garbage added on
the simplicity before was much better. i really fucking hate the strings in the beginning, ugh.

such unnecessary additions. i just want a high quality OG version, thats it
the OG one is excellent, but the new one ruins it. stupid ass adlibs and shit.

> and didn't mac get caught up in some other drama not too long ago regarding production? i faintly recall some dude coming up on him in pittsburgh or something. there's a video about it.
dude is a pussy and really i don't even care about finesse's true intentions behind suing.

yeah, mac didn't give producer credit and the producer came up to him after a show or something lol.
It ain't hard to tell.

Had Cigarette Boats been a full album it would've been Currensy's best project to date. Only track I don't feel as much is Mirrors, but the other 4 are Covert Coup level great. Harry Fraud did work.
you have a point there.
Most of these hip hop story tracks that tackle tough subject matter always have a sad ending. I know it's not a problem endemic to hip hop but I knew the ending as soon as I realised what it was about. Still props to Murs.

What is everyone's favorite beat off Cigarette Boats?
Mine has to be the opening track, Leaving the Dock. It has such an amazing 80s vibe to it. It would not feel out of place in a Mann or De Palma film for example. I could totally hear this in an episode of Miami Vice or when Tony Montana is staring at that blimp haha.
Also it makes that alternate cover that Esch posted seem even more appropriate.

WOH.
The way the song takes time to build up, and the keys in the background. This beat has layers and honestly you need to blast it somewhere like the whip or out of a good stereo.
Gotta go with this too.WOH.

I hadn't really listened to Currensy before, but grabbed this due to the high praise on here. The production is really fucking phenomenal. Listened to a little bit of Stoned Immaculate after, and wasn't feeling it as much as this.
Going to check out Covert Coup sometime tomorrow.

This is a tough question. I feel like Leaving The Dock is the best overall song as he does his best rapping on the whole thing on this one and I love the beat, but I will agree with the others that the beat on WOH is probably best.
Yeah Stoned Immaculate didn't do all that much for me and I say that as quite a big Spitta fan who also went through his previous mixtapes like Higher Than 30,000 ft, Super Tecmo Bowl, Fear and Loathing In New Orleans etc.
Question; Why is it that the Pilot Talk Series is so highly lauded yet I never see anyone give any love to This Ain't No Mixtape? TANM has a great mix of laidback Spitta songs such as Get It Yourself, Elevator Muzik and On My Plane and also a couple of out and out bangers such as The Jet-Sons and LOL.
He has such great flow at times on that tape such as on Blown Away when he ponders "Who the man maneuver the coup in Vancouver, Canadian ladies is speaking the fly language" and uses other nice tricks like alliteration when he proclaims on LOL that "Curren$y crushes cowardly characters". I've just never got why it's never brought up in conversations about Spitta because I will tell anyone who will listen that he does his best rapping on that tape and it is overall his nicest project so far.

I try to bring up TANM but yea, like I said a page ago, TANM and The Jet Files are criminally underrated. Jet Files in particular is probably my favorite non major Curren$y release:

http://youtu.be/r5c1gKxSZdk
The pledge in particular is like top 3 Curren$y track for me. It's kinda crazy seeing him enjoying his success now and listening to it now. Desire and ambition + the right attitude can take you places man.

US Itunes has 90 second clips of every song from Life is Good.
Queens Story and World is an Addiction sounds fucking amazing like broadway plays (dat Anthony Hamilton chorus is fucking champagne) Back When and Roses are straight fire, and Black Bond is on some massive swag shit.
gattdamn, Nas is finna win a Grammy with this shit.
only iffy track is Summer on Smash. The Don is aight but it sounds wildly out of place in between the jazz/funk/soul inspired shit and the shit that's a sweeping orchestral arrangement

Yeah The Pledge is real good and i'm quite partial to The Seventies off of The Jet Files as well.
Also damn, didn't want to get sucked into the Nas hype but i'm glad to hear that things seem encouraging. I'm just surprised with all these snippets floating around and shit that the damn thing ain't leaked yet.

Sorry to double post but ask him when the fuck the joint tape with Shady Blaze is coming out?!

He just said something yesterday about the reason why he's been quiet is because he was finishing that up. His manage actually hit me up about a month ago, saying he'd love for us to review it when it's done/he gets it. So I'll let you know =P
