Curren$y - Weekend At Burnie's (Official Review)

It has been a pretty big twelve months for Curren$y. Since July 2010, He has released multiple projects,  Pilot Talk , Pilot Talk 2, Return To The Winner's Circle, Covert Coupe, and now Weekend at Burnies. Also Spitta launched a massive JetLife tour, which consisted of over forty cities. One could say that dorpping five projects is a little excesssive, yet Curren$y pulls it off, and even does it with style. Each project being just as good as the previous, and offers nothing less than dope instrumentals, great hooks, flows, lyrics, and Rhyme schemes. Weekend at Burnie's offers nothing less than that. A great album, and another reason to label Curren$y as a top MC. He stays in his lane, and maintains his image. Very rare for an MC now-a-days.


Weekend at Burnie's consists of twelve tracks on its deluxe version. All twelve offer great beat selection and impeccable lyrics. Curren$y does something different on this one however. He takes his phrases and turns them into hooks, but in a different way. For example, track 2, "Still," features a phrase Curren$y and his team always say "Jets at Ya neck," as the hook, but rather as "It's stilllll, jets at ya mothaf*ckin...." A very classic idea that I hope Curren$y sticks with for feature LP's.

The lyrics on this LP were pretty epic as well. On track 5, "You See It," Spitta says "Poolside, too high, with three b*tches, for four nights." His wordplay is ridiculous. Not too many MC's can offer those type of lines on a track. Curren$y's lyrics have always been on point, but with this album, he takes it to another level, showing his progression as a premiere hip-hop artist.

The features on this one were limited, which in turn was a good move. Different from its first predecessor in Pilot Talk 1, Weekend At Burnie's only has three tracks with features (four on the deluxe) which is a respectable decision. For some listeners too many features may be boring, but this one only had Fiend on one track, as well as Trademark, and Young Roddy on three each. Everything else is strictly Spitta. "Still" is looking like the best track with features on the album.

Lastly, Curren$y's beat selection is genius. Unlike some southern artists, who only have good beat selection and no lyrics, Curren$y offers great wordplay, rhyme schemes, and different flows throughout the entire project on every beat. Monsta Beatz gives Curren$y a great instrumental for the track "This is the Life." "Hits from the bong, cali strong.." Lines like those can really show new fans that Spitta is among the best of his lane. Another beat that must be mentioned is track 8, "On G's" with Trademark and Young Roddy. The entire LP's instrumentals are all epic though altogether.

To conclude, Curren$y offers a lot more than your average southern rapper. Lyrics, to go with great beats, with rhyme schemes, dope flows, and great wordplay. If a hater listens to the album all the way through, there is absolutely nothing negative that can be said about Spitta. That right there, is why I would say Curren$y is a top five MC this year in the game.  #AYyyyyyyyyhlllle.

Overall Grade - 9/10
