This new collabo between Curren$y and Wiz Khalifa got me pretty excited. I only recently warmed up to Curren$y after hearing his latest mixtape before this. He is kind of an acquired taste. Wiz Khalifa was one of those artists you immediately love or don’t care for, I am the former. He has a very noticeable rap presence and an easy going rap style that fits in well with Curren$y. One downside to Wiz may be that he sounds a lot like Wale, but not enough to say that he is biting; there is a just a resemblance. This whole How Fly mixtape, as you can tell by the cover, is all about chilling out and smoking weed. There are no deep messages to be found, there are just two chill dudes making that laid back rap you can smoke to. One complaint about this would be that they both sound like they are in front of the beats rather than between them and their verses tend to drown out the beats. It is more of a sound problem. Some of the production could have been better on this as well. However most of the beats are smooth rap beats and fit in well with both artists. I feel like Curren$y lacked in the charisma and flow department at times. There were also a few weak and a few mediocre tracks. Don’t take this tape too seriously, it is fun, light music about macking chicks and smoking herb.The tape lived up to my expectations and came out to be a nice tape overall, minus the weak points. The standouts were Car Service, The Check Point, Layover, Friendly, The Life, Over The Building, and Rolling Up (my favorite), 3.75/5.

This is good summer music, I have been bumpin it in the boat lately. Even the girlfriend likes it.
ReplyDeletecurren$y lacks nothin in the flow department watchu tlkin bout...he got the best flow in the game and aint even well known
ReplyDeletei agree if anyone i would say that wiz would be the one lacking in the flow department; curren$y kills it and i like both rappers so i have no dog in the fight
ReplyDeleteThis mixtape set out what it was intended to do. So it is given a 5/5. These 2 rappers both made their own lane with their own mixtapes and unique styles, so to come together when they are both heating up the game is a good look for hip hop. Trying to pick who is better on this mixtape is almost impossible as they both came strong on this (pause). If you smoke you love this and if you dont you simply appreciate that the mixtape is related to what the album is called. More to my review coming....
ReplyDeleteMan Curren$y is so underrated. This is that nigga. Does anyone know where i can get his lyrics to his mixtapes?
ReplyDeletei use to like curren$y more but now Wiz is my shit, he's got a better flow style and better lyrics for the most part, both are real tight though, with some cudi mixed in there and a blunt.
ReplyDeleteanyone who has followed wiz and i mean really since the begining (show and prove, prince of the city 1 & 2, grow season) then you should know that hes the next big thing..he has the potential and unique style to become one of the best rappers in the game i dont hear anyone out there that puts as much effort as wiz
