Editorial Reviews
2010 release from New Orleans native, Shante Franklin, also known as acclaimed indie rapper Curren$y. He has evolved and perfected his lyrical delivery into a very unique sound. With his own personal swagger and quick-witted lyrics, he is redefining the essence of what it means to be a southern rapper. As an artist he has built a brand by relentlessly releasing mix tapes, such as "This Ain't No Mixtape" in 2009, and attacking the internet with creative tenacity and conviction for his music. Curren$y has recorded with acclaimed artists such as Lil' Wayne, The Black Keys, The Disco Biscuits, Wiz Khalifa, The Cool Kids, and Mos Def.

This is the type of album that you can listen to all the way through. I have to make something clear. I do not buy albums, or ringtones or singles. If it's not on DatPiff.com then I'm just not listening to it. However, I know when I purchase a CD from Curren$y that I am getting the best instrumentation, thought through lyrics and a timeless sound. I have all of the Curren$y mixtapes and all of the albums. My favorite Curren$y song is "16 Switches" and I hope he comes out with a part 2 on the next album or mixtape. My favorite song on this album is "Hold On". The track is too official. I listened to that track literally like 20 times when I first heard it. I have it set as my alarm on my clock so I'm getting up to that (pause) every morning. Keep droppin' that fire Spitta! It's definitely helping me to get through all night study sessions for law school.

Other reviewers have already covered most of the strong points of this excellent album, but have omitted one critical highlight - the best hook of the year:
"Michael Knight, Michael Knight Michael Knight
Michael Knight, Michael Knight Michael Knight
Michael Knight, sku-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du"
Genius!
Seriously though, Pilot Talk & Pilot Talk II are rap essentials of 2010.
I give this CD 4.5 out of 5 stars, and sku-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du rounds it up to 5.
Curren$y & Ski Beatz bring the flavor like a musical Ben & Jerry. Have a taste.

I had never heard this cd before buying it, but I was confident knowing it was a Curren$y album. It is one of those albums you can leave on repeat without messing with what track its on, and every song is memorable and fun to listen to everytime.

Curren$y is nothing short of a genius when it comes to music...his ability to mass produce album after album but more importantly the quality that he continues to deliver to fans like myself. I liked this album from top to bottom, my personal favorites are "Airbrone Aquarium", the obvious "Michael Knight", "Famous", inpart becasue of the "Street Car Named Desire" reference and I had just watched the movie haha, "Silence" with Mckenzie Eddy who does the song some justice as well as the other tracks which are solid. I was surprised to see that this album sold less than Pilot Talk, I understand why, Curren$y's reluctance to submit to the mainstream confines like his man Wiz khalifa did, and even he didnt sale with that horrible single. I didnt waaste my money on that album. Anyway, if you havent heard the album its worth every penny, his music is timeless, I still listen to it. by the way, when is Muscle Car Chronicles coming out?? what is Dame doing over there...

Curren$y always putting out good music, way better then anything Wiz could do. Wiz just sold out and went mainstream.

I've been a fan of curren$y since I heard him on C-Murder' TRU DAWGS.He has a great sound and amazing punch lines
such as from TRU DAWGS "you talking bout you pop caps to wet me/the only caps you pop is off a bottle of pepsi"
I kinda knew I would be slightly disapointed with his 2 albums Pilot talk 1 and 2 when I saw damon dash is co-executive producer and putting the hot spitta with New York beats don't sound right.I wasn't feeling the beats at all and i expected them to be similar to those on No Limit or at least southern beats.
once I looked past the lousy beats his lyrics are still hot
So don't buy his 2 albums expecting the southern style beats we are use to hearing him rap over you'll be disapointed but BUY them cause CURREN$Y is still da Hot Spitta

This is a return to hip-hop with real musical influences. To me this will be a CLASSIC ALBUM and will become a strong sound of the decade. Curren$y is fast approaching is time.

I agree with those saying that this album is a modern Hip Hop classic, both Pilot Talk I & II (although II is my favorite mos def). Curren$y flows sooo nicely on every track. Read more

This is a modern "classic" Hip Hop album
Very few MCs(are they called that anymore?) and music production mesh so well as with this. This is just really good music and I haven't heard Hip Hop in a while. Read more
