Independent rapper Curren$y has been rumored to have inked a deal with Warner Music on Wednesday. The speculations come as a surprise, considering the New Orleans rapper’s popularity and success as an independent artist.
During an era in which being independent is perceived to be more practical and liberating than it is a sign of obscurity, it is not rare for artists to take the indie road to critical (and even commercial) success. Although the deal has not been confirmed, nor is it clear what kind of deal may have been made, Curren$y has responded to speculation on forums and on Twitter about the possible deal, assuring that his music will not change.
An official release date for his fifth album Muscle Car Chronicles has not yet been confirmed.
Soooooooo, what does that mean for his relationship with Dame Dash & DD172/ BluRoc or has Dame switch operations with Def Jam to Warner. Which no sense being his arch-nemesis “Lyor Cohen” is running that ship & they have real bad blood from their Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam days ?
who cares about all that…this Curren$y dude is overrated anyways…don’t see what’s so special about him…he’ll put you to sleep in at least 50 seconds into listening to his songs…he doesn’t have enough excitement to hold you in enough when you’re listening to his music so how the fuck is he gonna sell big records on a major? hate to say it but he’s no different than Lil Wayne being that you can’t understand what the fuck either one is saying in their rhymes plus they are both from New Orleans…The only difference is that Wayne has more energy than Curren$y/Spitta or whatever you wanna call him…I could care less for either one…It may have been a bit too late for this dude to get signed to a major…I also don’t see what the fuck the big deal is about signing to a major label anyways…I hope this dude knows that the major labels are on their way out and are close to dying real soon especially when it comes to Hip-Hop music…The majors will sign any rapper now because they know soon they are about to close up shop thanks to the internet and the emergence of the new age of digital music that’s getting ready to take over so they are just making dudes like Curren$y look like a fuckin’ sucker for signing with them…They don’t care if Curren$y sells records for them or not…All they are trying to do is use Curren$y until this digital shit starts to kick in even more further in full gear and then when it does Warner is gonna drop him like there’s no tomorrow…Brag about your deal all you want homie but remember rule #4080 record company people are shady…and don’t count Dame out on this one because Dame just might have the last laugh if this shit doesn’t work out…The sad thing today is that you guys will gas up anybody that’s not even really all that hot…For starters you gassed up Lil Wayne and now you’re doing it with this Curren$y dude…It’s like your looking for the best food that’s gonna overly satisfy your appetite but yet that food is unhealthy and you could care less that it’s unhealthy which is sad…sorry but this dude is just a boring weed head that yaps about nothing and if that suits you guys well then good luck and happy listening!
This guy seriously wrote a damn paper, AY if you not a fan then thats fine, but dont be writing long ass replies to those who are fans. Nobody care about wtf you’re talking about
Its ova for Dame (again). Lyor Cohen hates Damon Dash. Read the Big Payback. Lyor Cohen is a true warrior. He takes no prisoners and will cut anybody that gets in his way. See the Chris Lighty/Irv Gotti history. Damon Dash just lost his crown jewel.
Glad to see Curren$y get his paper
I’m happy for my guy Spitta but I know once he get signed to a major label…the music is gona change…if he aint pullin hit records muthafuckas gon tie him up n let him hang just like Saigon and Lupe. Am I wrong or right?
SOUNDCLOUD.COM/SHAWNBIGGS
right. i was thinkin the same, if hes signed then he might be lucky and get an album or 2 out but then they’ll hold him up
From curren$y’s audio dope 2
But that’s the game we in
What you gone do about it huh?
Sacrifice and hit the independent prolly not?They not like me.
That’s why they don’t like me.
In my opinion I don’t mind what kind of label he is with so long as his music will stay the same. I hope he wont start raping about AK-47 again like in his no limit days
he’ll rap about AK-47 again, the weed tho 😛
shit thats good im waitin for a curren$y album. shit those pilot talks are good but i want some good features on that shit.
finally this nigga bouta change the world .
change what world? hope you not talking about this world…dude ain’t got that kinda power or carrying weight like that homie so you might wanna ease up on that comment…
dude deserves it, can’t wait for him to blow up. I guess that means he left Roc-A-Fella, damn Dame was so hyped about signing him.
I do NOT understand…this dude is so average. SO average. But congrats to any and all success he may have!
I’m happy for my boy Spitta, but I guess this probably means that we won’t see any more albums with Ski Beatz doing most of the production, which is a big dissappointment.
As long as he keep fckn with Ski – all good.
I love Ski Beatz but I feel like the Pilot Talks shouldn’t have been mainly produced by him as crazy as that sounds…
A few ski beatz here and there would have been nice but not a full album. In Pilot Talk, he sounds his best on “Prioritze” which is produced by Nesby Phips I think. Then when you hear a track like “Twistin Stank” it makes you wonder, because no one can reach him on that track.
The whole Creative Control shit has fallen off since the summer. Pretty disappointing I thought Dame was going to change the game for a second time, which with artist like Curren$y and Big KRIT he could have. I guess that wasn’t his agenda. Seems like all it is a stepping stone. Kind of sad.
To Dash Burks. He must have not heard Curren$y’s shit! Man just let the man make moves. He is a real solid artist..Solid Meaning Way better than most these bum ass niggas out here. Just dont change for the CHANGE $$$$. Jets. And Fuck Dash Burks. He dont know what hes talking about.
Good look for Spiita.. And To all the people saying that Curren$y aint a good rapper or that he is average you obviously dont listen to his music or know his history… He has had SOOO much influence on Hip-Hop while standing in the background.. Wiz Khalifa is one of the new best artist out and Khalifa “IS” Curren$y… Spitta schooled Khalifa on dressing, smoking, and flowing then went and got alot of tattoos and took that shit straight to a record label and got signed wit it… Same wit Lil Wayne.. Wayne took Spittas swagg and ran wit that shit.. If you pay close attention Wayne didnt make alot of songs about weed and being fly until him and Spitta started hanging together.. Wayne was wearing Reeboks and Dickies (no swagg) until he started hanging wit Spitta then all of a sudden it was Bathing Ape and Ice Cream.. Spitta was rocking Bathing Ape and Ice Cream first bcuz thats Pharrel’s clothing line and Terry Kennedy is signed to Pharrel’s Ice Cream skate Team,and Terry Kennedy and Curren$y were both members of Fly Society,… see the connection?.. Spitta’s swagger has had so much influence in hiphop over the past few years so he is anything but average or wack..
hope he stays independent fuck a major deal
cant wait to hear curren$y’s black and yellow
