goodie bag
as you can see in my rotation of mixtapes, i'm currently listening to curren$y's life at 30,000 feet. it's an interesting listen because the beats are varied and there not the standard "down south" beats you'd normally hear for a southern rapper. he's rapping over instrumentals for "'93 til infinity", "for tha love of $", "dead presidents II" and "runnin'" (pharcyde). his flow you either love it or hate it; it reminds me a little of ma$e during the era of the shiny suit. he sounds like he raps from the nose because of his nasal drawl (word to shock g), but if you don't charge that to him you'll notice a unique individual with witty wordplay. if played right he could be the breakout rapper of '07. this mixtape might go overlooked though because most people aren't talking about it. curren$y mentions dj don cannon throughout the mixtape, with the assumption he's hosting it, but you don't hear the standard "cannnon" audio drop on not one song. this is kind of strange because if it was a cannon mixtape it would get more exposure (you know with him being in the most important djing group in mixtapes today). nevertheless, this mixtape is still on point. you can click the link on the current rotation (mixtapes) for the full mixtape, but for a sample listen to this pick from the goodie bag. i don't know who's beat this is, (or if it's a new beat for that matter), but it's still tight anyway. for those that don't know curren$y spits the 2nd verse.
