Curren$y: Weekend At Burnies

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Weekend At Burnies is Curren$y’s sixth album in just over two years, which is a ridiculous amount of material for any rapper, let alone one with such a narrow thematic focus. The easy-drawled New Orleanian rhymes almost exclusively about weed, sidetracking occasionally for low-stakes verses about women (they come and go) or his lavish lifestyle (actually pretty modest, by luxury-rap standards). While his pace may seem unsustainable, though, his output hasn’t suffered for it. Like his 2009 debut, This Ain’t No Mixtape, Weekend At Burnies was produced primarily by the production team Monsta Beatz, and comparing the two records underscores how diligently Curren$y has sharpened his flow in just those few years.
