Do you guys think Curren$y’s Pilot Talk is a classic?
Hip Hop
- Thread starter Woob_woob
- Start date
With the overuse of the word nowadays, sure?
Realistically though classic is probably a strong word imo

Yeah that’s so true that the word is so overused nowadays! Classic is a strong word! Pilot Talk certainly isn’t a certified classic, but it does seem like it’s got a strong cult following! Classic really is overused though!

I think like u said, Curren$y has a cult following that has allowed him to be successful as hell, almost entirely independent. That cult has this album high on his list of best projects (and that's a long list given his output over the decade)
It has alot of sentimental value for alot of ppl here cuz it came out when alot of us were in high school or college imo!

That’s awesome you actually spoke to Curren$y back then, shortly after the release Pilot Talk and Pilot Talk II !!!! That’s amazing!

Yea he was sneaking out the back of this venue in Tampa, and me and the lady i was with happened to leave early and we almost ran into each other coming around the corner!!! Wild night!
Pilot Talk 2 is better than 1 tho imo
Pilot Talk 2 is one of my favorites of his ever ever

I gotta check out Pilot Talk II then! It does seem like most people prefer Pilot Talk II more than Pilot Talk!
I love the song “Audio Dope II”, “Chilled Coughphee” and “Life Under The Scope”! Great instrumentals!
@Woob_woob - Are you gonna grab Curren$y’s Pilot Talk?
Pilot Talk, K.R.I.T. Wuz Here, and Kush & O.J. were like a trilogy for me that year. Never heard anything from any of those guys before that year and it kinda knocked me out of a rut of checking for the same dudes all the time. K.R.I.T. Wuz Here is probably in my top 10 favorite albums ever.

Funny 2 is my least fave - i think. i have to go back and listen to it. I think I heard audio dope first and that's still probably my favorite track of the series
Edit: and I was out of highschool for 20 years when 1 dropped

@Woob_woob - Are you gonna grab Curren$y’s Pilot Talk?
He just posted a status about needing someone to pick him one up this weekend as he won't be able to go out himself.

K.R.I.T. Wuz Here and Kush & O.J. are both better than Pilot Talk, easy! I wish the vinyl release for Kush & O.J. didn’t have that alternative cheap looking cover! The original mixtape cover is soooo much better!!!

Oh man! Don't get me wrong Audio Dope, King Kong Breakfast, the Day, Address are all still top tier
But Airborne Aquarium as the intro then the 3 tracks after (Michael Knight, Montreaux, and famous) is a damn 4 track run! Also Silence and Hold On are just perfect imo!

Thanks for the update! If Wooby Woob wants to get Pilot Talk, then I wanna get Pilot Talk!
Just kidding! I dunno if I’ll get it! One of my locals is selling it for AUD$45 which is a really fair price! I might get it but I’ll wait to make sure the pressing sounds great first! I won’t have trouble getting it the RSD release of Pilot Talk here in Australia thankfully!

I was in my junior year of high school at that point. I didn't mind some Curren$y and Wiz stuff but the jocks who we'd over charge when selling them weed were super into them at the time. I've since learned to appreciate Curren$y more but these albums in particular always remind me of those guys.

The pressing for Kush and OJ is dope! It's a whole OJ carton! The nutritional facts are the tracks! I was impressed
