im surprised it took this long for niggas to start the curren$y vs jcole battle since curren$y is with dame and jcole is with jay.

i dont really think that these two are that comparable though. one has dozens of mixtapes and 3 albums out while one is riding off of 2 maybe 3 tapes. but imo, curren$y is better. his delivery may take a listen or two to get used to, but his flow is dope, he can ride any beat perfectly, and hes sick lyrically.

i cant really get into jcole like that, for the most part i think hes boring and lame. like someone else said in one of these threads, he comes off as a serious all the time over-achiever type. not saying thats a bad thing, but to me thats boring. his new mixtape put me to sleep.

i think if curren$y would chug a monster or a 5 hour energy shot before he records he would be alot better.

You niggas are really starting to worry me now. Whatever happened to being diverse in your listening. What happened to being able to listen to J Cole spit that real serious shit and then being able to ride with some curren$y??? If you said FNL is boring, i would love to see who your favorite rappers are cuz i guarantee you are not a diverse listener.

dont get me wrong, he has a few songs that ill listen to. they arent on the ipod or anything, but i would still listen to them if someone else was playing them. but to me, he lacks that "it" factor to gain and hold my attention. hes a solid rapper who has potential, but hes just not there yet imo.

Its funny to watch so many inconsistencies in some of these niggas. The same ones who try to clown on Banks voice and act like he cant spit...

Really tryna say Currensy is lyrical and can ride a beat? Plus overlook this nigga speech impediment?

LOL OK. Listen to Unexplainable on HFM2...thats how u fuck up a beat

CS on the bolded but i fucks w Currensy cuz he seems like a regular dude that raps about the regular things that HE does whether its smoking weed or fixing up a hooptie. Also his ear for beats is on point. And his lyrics are on point if u can understand him.......

DOnt get me wrong, I dig some of Currensy shit. I just feel he's overrated. While the same things you said I can say about Banks, but let the Reason tell it he "got a monotone voice and i cant understand what he says"

Banks got ill beats on his mixtapes and he can rap better than Currensy, easily. Im not shittin on Spitta totally, I just see the contradictions

The Only Currensy I Bump Is Produced By Ski Beatz (Jay/Camp Lo fame) ...Take That Away And All You Have Is Another Above Average Southern Rapper

Fuck what yall niggas talkin bout

maximus preme · December 2010

he's aight to me. I liked Pilot Talk better than Pilot Talk 2. He has a nice flow and sometimes be dropping some sick word play.

Couldn't be concerned less how a hater feel

jonlakadeadmic · December 2010

I dont like Currensy's music, but thats just my opinion. I respect what hes doing though.

psychobutcher · December 2010

I think Curren$y is better than J.Cole... But I think most "new" artists are better than J. Cole. Can someone post a J.Cole song where he is getting off? I have heard dude spit but nothing I've heard has impressed me.

I find J Cole boring, and I always found him boring.

"If I don't like it, I don't like it, that don't mean that I'm hatin'" </Common>

I like Curren$y because he is hella witty with it, and he is actually dope on the mic. I like the beats he picks and the way his flow is effortlessly smooth, like he's permamently high.

It's not fair to call him just a weed rapper, you can't put him in the same box as Wiz (who I think is wack), you can't put him in the same box as anyone, he does his own thing.

He's not preachy, he ain't a mixtape rapper where every other line has to be a punchline, he doesn't try too hard, his voice is distinctive, I dunno.

And I don't even smoke weed.
