Remember that time I said how I'd hoped the new No Limit era had yielded at least one official song which features the talents of both C-Murder and Curren$y? Found this recently, although Mac has the best verse on it. I love the way $pitta says "whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up, man - I got $2 million cash!" with such conviction during his introduction almost as much as I love how C-Murder tells the C.O to "fuck the world, bitch!" during his :
C-Murder ft. Mac & Curren$y - Camouflage & Murder
(From Truest S*** I Ever Said; 2005)
I'm up for another Pilot Talk with Ski to round off the series as a trilogy and that proposed Curren$y & Fiend tape over Menahan Street Band samples would be a-okay with me, but I'm not too interested in ever hearing Convert Coup because where's the synergy in mixing Curren$y's rapping with Alchemist's beats? What's next - Big Noyd does a mixtape over Big K.R.I.T production with Big Syke playing the J-Love/DJ Drama role? What I need is some new $pitta music which bears traces of New Orleans in its DNA again, so it's time to sever all ties with Wiz Khalifa, burn the Billionaire Boys Club gear, give your big bro' a call and dig out the bandana, B :
I only stumbled upon the 24 carat nugget of rap-nerd trivia that Curren$y is Mr Marcelo's lil' brother recently but it makes total sense because I always thought Marcelo was such a randomly odd choice of former No Limit roster members to pop up on $pitta's mixtape cuts given that he was only involved with the label for one album and a notable verse on Whodi from the first 504 Boyz album a couple of years before Curren$y even signed on the dotted line with Percy in 2002. Whatcha gonna do?? Whatcha gonna do when the older Franklin brother, Magic, Mystikal, DJ Wild Wayne and the Miller brothers run wild on you, BROTHER??!!??

Where's that "yeeahhh" that runs in a loop in the background of that Curren$y joint been used before? It's doin my swede in...
um, Covert Coup is fucking awesome. best thing Ive heard in years - Currensy fits Alc's beats perfectly. Admittedly it was the first time Id heard Currensy but since then I went and copped both Pilot Talks and Fiend's 'Tennis Shoes & Tuxedos'. Basically Im all over this Jet Life thing right now.
Im gonna go back to reading the rest of your post now...
Good question, Bozack. I've been wondering that too 'cause I can't place it.
Step, everyone seems to love Convert Coup but I'm just gonna have to sit this one out. You should check This Ain't No Mixtape if you haven't already because it's got my 3 favourite Curren$y songs on it : Elevator Musik, Scared Of Monstas and Get It Ya Self.
ive got Aint No Mixtape d/ld by havent checked it yet. Covert Coup has some of the best synergy between rapper and producer that Ive ever heard. Alchemist cam through with some real atmospheric soulful beats atht fit Currensy perfectly. It even has me wanting to start smoking weed again and I gave up 5 years ago!
If anything at least check the tracks with Fiend and Freddie Gibbs.
The one with Freddie Gibbs is the one Rob Breezy from S.H was trying to get me to listen to but I really hate Freddie Gibbs. I may give the Fiend one a toot some time, though.
i also cosign convert coup.
Bit after the event n all that but GOT IT! It's from the Fresh Prince soundtrack.... Thank fuck for that.
Excellent!
